Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

To ensure that this Montclair, NJ basement stays dry, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a TripleSafe sump pump and vapor barrier on the walls.

A homeowner in Montclair, New Jersey had a cold crawl space and wanted it insulated. The homeowners contacted Quality 1st for a free estimate and our System Design Specialist inspected the crawl space. The System Design Specialist recommended that Drainage Matting  be installed on the floor of the crawl space to give the water flooding into the crawl space a channel underneath the crawl space liner. This matting has raised dimples to make sure the water is not trapped on the crawl space floor.

Next, TerraBlock was installed on top of the drainage matting to add insulation to the crawl space. TerraBlock is a foam insulation that is padded, puncture-resistant, and durable. SilverGlo Crawl Space Wall Insulation was installed on the crawl space walls for added insulation. SilverGlo boasts a radiant barrier, which reflects heat back into the crawl space for ultimate energy savings. CleanSpace vapor barrier system was installed on the crawl space walls and floors to prevent water vapor and humidity from passing through. CleanSpace seals off the crawl space and keeps away odors and allergenic mold spores.

Finally, a sump pump was installed in the crawl space to make sure any water entering the crawl space is pumped out. The TripleSafe sump pump was installed with three levels of pumps built in to protect the crawl space if one fails. No more cold and damp crawl space for this home. The homeowners can now use their crawl space for storage or whatever they need to.

By encapsulating your dirt crawl space, you will eliminate mold, rotting, moisture and any critters that might be living in there. Additionally, having a CleanSpace crawl space liner installed will also eliminate musty odors and improve the air quality throughout your home. CleanSpace will prevent that water seepage and mold from taking over your crawl space. 

This Montclair, NJ, homeowner was frustrated by persistent water seepage in their crawl space, particularly after heavy rainfall, which was causing dampness, foul odors, and concerns about potential mold growth.

Seeking a lasting solution, they contacted Quality 1st, who quickly assessed the situation and recommended our specialized Drainage Matting, SilverGlo Insulation Panels, and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. Our team expertly installed the Drainage Matting, which effectively redirected water away from the foundation, while our SilverGlo Insulation Panels helped regulate temperature and prevent further condensation buildup. Our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier was then applied, sealing off the crawl space to prevent moisture intrusion and improve air quality.

With these solutions in place, the crawl space was restored to a dry, healthy condition, giving the homeowner peace of mind that their home was safeguarded against further water damage!
