Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Homeowner Michael noticed a lot of humidity in his crawl space. Quality 1st Basements was able to help Michael with his crawl space concerns by concealing the crawl space vents with CleanSpace vent covers to prevent the outside air and moisture from getting in. 

Our Q1 Team did a full encapsulation in this damp crawl space! Jonathan and his crew installed SilverGlo on the walls. SilverGlo is a heat barrier that helps keep the heat contained. Next our Vapor Barrier Liner, CleanSpace, is installed over the Silverglo, on the walls and floor. CleanSpace will protect the crawl space against water seepage and mold, keeping the area clean and healthy. 

Recognizing the growing impact of persistent water seepage in their Scotch Plains, NJ crawl space, a homeowner became increasingly concerned as moisture began forming puddles and creating damp spots along the walls. These conditions not only threatened the structural well-being of the home but also increased the potential for mold growth, wood rot, and poor indoor air quality. Seeking a long-term and dependable solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for professional assistance.

Our team performed a thorough inspection, tracing the moisture issues back to inadequate drainage and identifying the key areas where water intrusion was most severe.

To effectively resolve the problem and protect the crawl space from future damage, we designed a specialized waterproofing system tailored to the home’s unique needs. This dynamic plan incorporated our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to redirect water away from the foundation, our SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump to reliably discharge collected water, CleanSpace Wall Panels to create a moisture-resistant barrier, and our high-performance SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to maintain proper humidity levels.

Working together, these solutions transformed the crawl space into a dry, healthy, and stable environment, providing the homeowner with long-lasting peace of mind and improved home protection!

As the weather gets warmer, you will face rising humidity levels in your crawl space which causes mold growth and wood rot.  This creates an unhealthy living space for your family and also compromises your crawl space insulation and floor joints.  By encapsulating this crawl space, we were able to control the humidity levels and greatly improve the foundation, air quality, and your home's energy efficiency.  Now this homeowner can also use his crawl space for storage.

Recently in Absecon, NJ, we had the privilege of assisting a homeowner who was facing a collection of concerns regarding their home's sustainability and safety. The call came to us after the homeowner noticed some shifting in their home’s foundation, comprised primarily of cinder blocks, as well as urgent needs for waterproofing and outside insulation. We proposed a tailored solution using CleanSpace, SilverGlo, and our SmartJack system. The CleanSpace liner was to be installed in the crawl space to provide a solid water vapor barrier, preventing future moisture or water damage. SilverGlo insulation panels were placed to enhance energy efficiency. To the pressing issue of the home’s shifting foundation, we deployed our SmartJack system, providing solid support to stabilize and potentially lift the foundation to its original position.
