The owner of this home met with an engineer who told her that she had foundation problems in her home. Her neighbor is a real estate agent, and has worked with Quality 1st Basement Systems during numerous buyer/seller transactions and recommended the team right away. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CarbonArmor wall locks to secure the foundation and make this home safe again!
This crawl space had standing water after a bad storm and the new homeowner wanted to get this problem resolved right away since he just purchased the home and didn't want future damage to the space.
Quality 1st Basement Systems was able to completely waterproof this Skillman crawl space with Cleanspace, Drainage Matting, Silver Glo, Smart Pump, SaniDry Dehumidifier, and IceGuard. Any Future water leaks will be directed straight the the SmartPump and Pump out away from the home. The IceGuard will allow the water to still have a proper exit even in the winter when the pipe freezes.
This homeowner can now enjoy his new homer rain or shine without having to worry about a leaking crawl space.
Encapsulation is not only good for the crawl space but for the home as well. By encapsulating you are sealing off the area from animals, water and water vapor along with mold, rotting and dirt. This will create better air quality in the crawl space which means better air quality in your home. Keeping the air in your crawl space clean will create clean and healthy air for your family to breathe and that is exactly why this Montgomery family called Quality 1st Basement System to encapsulate their family's crawl space.
When your crawl space is not encapsulated and insulated, cold air finds its way into your home through the crawl space area. Once inside, that air will begin to cool down the heat traveling through the duct vents. This will delay the process of warming up your home causing the heat to work harder then its suppose to, raising your heating bill as the months go on.
Quality 1st was able to completely seal off this Montgomery crawl space using CleanSpace, SilveGlo, and TerraBlock so help keep the area dry and warm!
A homeowner in Skillman, New Jersey noticed water coming in through their crawl space walls. This can happen because of the poorly compacted soil around the foundation that gets saturated during heavy rainfall. This saturated soil creates hydrostatic pressure and pushes water through the walls. A wet crawl space can have many negative effects such as mold, dust mites, increased energy bills, and poor air quality. This air can travel into the upper levels of the home and affect the homeowner's health. Our foreman, Esau Aquino, installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System throughout the crawl space. This will ensure that no moisture will enter the crawl space and it will be kept dry. The vapor barrier system is durable and thick like a pool liner and is mold-proof and water-proof. Now, the homeowner's crawl space is healthy and protected from moisture and water.
