A homeowner in Nutley, NJ noticed their crawl space was damp so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems. We installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System as a solution to keep it dry and healthy. With CleanSpace, the crawl space will be separated from the outside elements. Sealing the dirt floor and the foundation walls will stop moisture and humidity from passing through. This will prevent dampness, mold growth and musty smells. This homeowner now has peace of mind that their crawl space is protected no matter what the weather is outside.
In order to accomplish an effective insulation solution for this customer's crawl space, Quality 1st Basement's Javier Romero, Design Specialist, planned for the walls to be prepared with SilverGlo Insulation Panels. Silver Glo Panels keep the cold air out while its tiny graphite particles reflect heat back into the crawl space for maximum energy efficiency. Foreman Victor Leon headed this installation.
An often overlooked area of heat loss is the rim joist, where the home is attached to the foundation. Draftiness can occur and cause floors above to feel cold. Javier Romero, a Design Specialist for Quality 1st Basements, included RimTight foam insulation, a spray foam that fills small draft avenues such as holes and cracks and which can be sprayed around pipes obstructing the space. Foreman Victor Leon and his crew helped this customer achieve a higher level of home insulation by installing this product.
Recently a homeowner in Nutley, NJ, contacted Quality 1st struggling with ongoing water seepage in their crawl space. Overtime, this problem resulted in increased dampness around the space, leading to concerns about potential mold-growth and rot.
