Concerned about protecting their home’s structure and health, they reached out to the professionals at Quality 1st for expert guidance.

After a thorough inspection, our team designed a customized crawl space encapsulation system to resolve the moisture issues and improve the overall health of the home. To begin, we installed SilverGlo Insulation Panels along the crawl space walls to boost thermal efficiency and help regulate indoor temperatures. We then encapsulated the entire area with our durable, mold-resistant CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, which completely sealed off the crawl space from the damp earth below, eliminating water vapor and potential mold growth. Finally, we added our high-performance SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to maintain dry air conditions and prevent future moisture problems.

This homeowner in West Grove, PA, was facing challenges with a notably cold crawl space due to the presence of exposed dirt floors. These dirt floors tend to absorb moisture from the ground and release it into the crawl space, resulting in an unstable environment. The Quality 1st Basements team conducted a thorough assessment and determined that a complete encapsulation of the crawl space was necessary to effectively manage moisture and maintain heat retention. Our team installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, a robust solution designed to keep the crawl space dry. Additionally, they installed SilverGlo insulation Panels to provide thermal protection while also creating a barrier against any existing moisture. The homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind, knowing that her crawl space is not only protected but has also been transformed into a usable space, all while benefiting from reduced heating costs.
