This crawlspace was damp, dirty and in desperate need of some help. The homeowner reached out to us to tackle the issues he was having with mold and water seepage. First, we started by removing all the debris and old insulation. We then treated all the joists with our botanical fungicide, Mold-X2. Once the area was treated we installed a SmartSump pump system with a WaterWatch alarm to remove water and prevent flooding. Next we insulated the walls with SilverGlo wall paneling and lined the entire crawlspace in CleanSpace vapor barrier. Lastly, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which will remove moisture from the air and prevent mold growth, wood rot, and odors.
In this crawl space, the area was in need of encapsulation and to be closed off from the moisture that had been sinking up into the home. We went to the property to install our CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation system with our SilverGlo insulated wall panels. The team laid the CleanSpace Drainage Matting that lies down under the clean space liner that will keep your space clean, dry and free of mold. By having this installed, your space improves your home comfort and the clean space material is designed to permanently prevent moisture and even pests.
Two steel beams were running East to West in the crawl space, one was a full beam, the other had a joint with no support. Customer had another company come out and install a temp support, but he needed something more permanent. We came out and installed a SmartJack, which provides solid support for sagging floors and undersized beams. Smart Jacks are galvanized for corrosion resistance and can hold up to 60,000 pounds.
What lies beneath can have a bigger impact than most homeowners realize. In Ellicott City, MD, one homeowner discovered this firsthand when they became overwhelmed by persistent moisture and musty odors rising from their crawl space. Over time, the area had grown increasingly damp, with visible signs of wear, wood deterioration, and a lingering sense of unclean air throughout the home. Concerned about the long-term effects on both their health and their property’s foundation, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a lasting, professional solution.
After a thorough inspection, our team identified widespread moisture intrusion caused by exposed earth, poor sealing, and lack of vapor protection. To resolve the issue, we installed our patented CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, a durable, 20-mil thick liner engineered to seal the crawl space floor and walls completely. This system isolates the home from ground moisture, reduces humidity, and helps prevent mold and structural damage.
The results were immediate, the crawl space became clean, dry, and protected, offering the homeowner renewed peace of mind and long-term protection beneath their home.
At this raise farmhouse property the owner could feel the cold air coming up into the home. We encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier that will capture any moisture or vapor that seeps in. Then we placed on the foundation walls our SilverGlo insulated wall panel system that is high-efficiency graphite-impregnated insulation designed to keep the entire crawl space warm and will help save the homeowner money in the long run.
