Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A Mountainside, NJ homeowner found water in their crawl space after a recent storm, with moisture coming through a drain port in the wall. Our team encapsulated the space with CleanSpace, transforming it into a dry, bright, and more functional part of the home.

A homeowner in Lakehurst, New Jersey called Quality 1st Basement Systems for a free estimate on crawl space encapsulation and insulation. Their crawl space was humid and the fiberglass insulation was messy and wet. 

Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CleanSpace crawl space vapor barrier. CleanSpace stops moisture from entering the crawl space. Humid crawl spaces can grow mold and mildew, and the wet air can seep to the rest of the house. To replace the wet fiberglass, SilverGlo insulation was installed. SilverGlo insulates better than fiberglass, and is much cleaner. Fiberglass can grow mold, is not waterproof, and does not insulate cold at the source. Now this crawl space has a lower humidity, stays dry, and will save the homeowner money on heating. Proper crawl space insulation and vapor barrier pays for itself in savings!

This Passaic County, NJ home had a sagging beam in the crawl space. The lack of support was causing the first floors to sag, and the home was unstable. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed SmartJack crawl space stabilizers to stabilize and level the floor joists in the crawl space. The floors no longer sag, and the owner feels much safer in her properly supported home

Check out this transformation we did in Ventnor City, NJ! To completely seal the crawl space from the earth's elements, and ensure this space stays healthy and dry all year round,  we completely encapsulated this crawl space area. Our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System will separate the crawl space from the earth's elements. This system is also mold-proof and waterproof. The homeowner's peace of mind was restored, and they haven't experienced any other issues in the crawl space.

What began as subtle floor unevenness soon became a clear sign of a deeper structural issue for this Ventnor City, NJ homeowner. Concerned about worsening conditions, they reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for help.

During our inspection, our specialists discovered that prolonged moisture exposure and gradual foundation settlement had caused the crawl space support beams to weaken and deteriorate. This deterioration led to visible bowing in the walls and uneven flooring throughout the home, signaling the need for immediate and permanent structural reinforcement.

To correct the problem and restore stability, our team designed a customized repair solution utilizing our SmartJack Support System. These high-strength, galvanized steel supports were strategically installed on engineered fill bases to ensure a solid, load-bearing foundation. Once in place, the SmartJacks immediately stabilized the crawl space and lifted the floor joists back to their proper position. The result was a structurally sound and level home, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind and confidence in the long-term safety and integrity of their property!
