Whenever it rained, water would make its way into this dirt crawl space, creating a damp and unwelcoming area beneath the home. Our solution involved a three-pronged approach: first, we installed CleanSpace, a durable watertight barrier that encases the crawl space to prevent moisture from seeping in. Second, to ensure the area remained insulated and energy-efficient, we applied SilverGlo to the walls, reflecting heat back into the crawl space and keeping the cold out. Lastly, to combat humidity and further purify the air, we added a SaniDry Sedona, a powerful but compact dehumidifier designed specifically for spaces like these.
This Lanoka Harbor home sat within a major flood zone which changes the flood insurance requirements. SmartVents were required to be installed in this crawl space to prevent the home from flooding in the event of a major storm. Not only did the SmartVent save this homeowner on insurance, but it gave him peace of mind if a large storm were to hit the area again.

Our System Design Specialist inspected the crawl space and recommended the crawl space be encapsulated. CleanSpace vapor barrier system was installed on the crawl space floors and walls to keep water vapor and humidity out. With CleanSpace installed this ensures the crawl space stays warm and dry.
A homeowner in Lanoka Harbor, New Jersey was experiencing water getting into their basement. There can be many causes to this and one of them is moisture coming from the soil and traveling up into the air in the crawl space. Another reason could be the poorly compacted soil around the home's foundation. Over time this soil becomes saturated and creates hydrostatic pressure, pushing water through the walls.
The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Joseph Mancini, provided an inspection and suggested they install a vapor barrier system. Our foreman, Juan Garcia, installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System which is durable and thick like a pool liner. This system seals the crawl space from the earth and is mold-proof and water-proof. The foreman installs it by removing uneven surfaces and debris, carefully fits and installs the liner, and permanently holds it in place with drilled-in fasteners. Now, the homeowner has a dry and clean space, which is perfect for storage.
