Damp Crawl Space Repair in Wayne, NJ

Friday, January 21st, 2022 by Casie Novak

Challenge

This homeowner in Wayne, New Jersey noticed their crawl space was attracting moisture and developing a musty smell. This can happen from groundwater seeps and leaks. Water enters the foundation footing and begins to puddle slowly and evaporate into the upper levels of the home. If this goes without repair, this could cause many issues such as increased energy bills, rotting wood, pests, and even mold growth!

Solution

The homeowner knew this issue had to be repaired, so they searched the internet for solutions. When they came across Quality 1st Basement Systems, they gave us a call and spoke to our customer care representative. We booked them a free-estimate appointment with our System Design Specialist, Steve Roldan. Steve provided an inspection and he suggested they encapsulate the crawl space to seal it from the earth's elements. Our foreman and crew began by installing our TerraBlock Floor Insulation and our SilverGlo Wall Insulation Panels. TerraBlock will provide energy savings and moisture protection, and SilverGlo will provide insulation to keep heat inside the home. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. CleanSpace will protect the crawl space by blocking out moisture and humidity. This system is a thick and durable liner that is mold-proof, water-proof, and will keep the crawl space dry and healthy all year round! When the job was complete, the homeowner was satisfied with the results and they have not experienced any issues with their crawl space!
