Challenge

Having a damp and dirty crawl space underneath your home is not good for your health. This homeowner in Springfield, New Jersey noticed their crawl space was smelly and attracting moisture. This can happen if the crawl space is exposed to the earth's elements. Dirt and soil hold a lot of moisture, which can turn into water vapor that rises into the air. This can cause many issues such as rotting wood, increased energy bills, aggravated allergies, and even mold growth!

Solution

The homeowner did not want this issue to go unresolved, so they searched the internet for solutions. They came across Quality 1st Basement Systems and gave us a call. Our customer care representative booked them an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Joe Mancini. Joe provided a free inspection for the homeowner and suggested they encapsulate the crawl space to seal it from the earth's elements. A few days later, our foreman Esau began the process of installing our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. This is done by removing dirt and debris from the crawl space, carefully fitting the CleanSpace liner into the crawl space, and keeping it in place with drilled-in spikes and fasteners. CleanSpace is a thick and durable liner that is mold-proof and waterproof. This system will block moisture and humidity from entering the crawl space, keeping it dry and healthy! When the job was finished, the homeowner was happy to see their crawl space was transformed!
