This Toms River, New Jersey resident noticed their crawl space was attracting moisture and humidity. This occurs because of hydrostatic pressure pushing against the foundation walls from the saturated soil. As you can see in the before photo, the crawl space can easily attract pests, musty smells, water and even mold. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Dane Cuccinello, provided an inspection and suggested they encapsulate the space. Our foreman installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System which is thick and durable like a pool liner which means it will not easily rip or tear. CleanSpace seals the crawl space from the earth's elements and ensures that it stays dry. Check out the transformation!
SmartJacks were installed to the failing structure of this Toms River crawl space. The Jacks can lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position over time. SmartJacks can be installed in the tightest of crawl spaces and can support loads exceeding 60,000 pounds!
Toms River homeowner called Quality 1st with moisture issues in his home due to his crawl space. A dirt crawl space will inevitably cause water vapor issues since it is impossible to dry the earth. In addition to the dirt space, the concrete block walls are the least resistant to water or air, exacerbating the moisture problems. Quality 1st crew members installed CleanSpace, which is a plastic liner, to seal this Toms River home crawl space. SmartVents were also installed to seal off the crawl space door and insulate the crawl space. The final solution for this homeowner was the SaniDry Crawl Space dehumidifier which completely dried out the space and will continue to dry the air making this crawl space clean, dry, and no longer a concern for this homeowner and his family.
