Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This Harrison, NJ resident was purchasing a new home, however the home's crawl space had a strong odor, was damp, and had mold growth. Concerned about the safety of the house, he called Quality 1st Basement Systems to remedy the problem.

The fiberglass insulation was wet and falling off the ceiling, creating a haven for mold and pests. CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed to keep water vapor out, pests away from the crawl space, and the humidity down. CleanSpace will not only prevent future mold growth, but it will save the homeowner on his heating bill and prevent energy loss. It is made out of durable, inorganic material that will not tear or rot. A new SaniDry dehumidifier will filter out dust mite droppings and mold spores, keeping the air healthy and the humidity down. Now this home is ready to be moved into and will stay dry, safe from mold, and odor free.

This Hazlet homeowner purchased a new home and was getting high humidity readings from the crawl space. Quality 1st Basement Systems noted that the previous homeowners had attempted to have their general contractor waterproof the crawl space, but his method was clearly failing. The installation team installed CleanSpace wall liners to seal off the crawl space from outside moisture. We also installed a sump pump to drain the water out of the crawl space keeping the area clean and dry for good!

Fed up with persistent dampness and the looming threat of mold and wood rot, a Hazlet, NJ homeowner finally took action after months of dealing with increased moisture levels in their crawl space. Wanting a long-term, worry-free solution, they contacted the experts at Quality 1st. After a detailed inspection, our team crafted a tailored waterproofing plan to address the specific challenges of the space and eliminate the root causes of the moisture intrusion.

We installed our patented StarPipe Drainage System along the perimeter to collect and redirect groundwater, paired with drainage matting to promote flow beneath the vapor barrier. SilverGlo Insulation Panels were added to the crawl space walls to improve energy efficiency while resisting moisture. We then sealed the entire area with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, creating a durable moisture lock across the floors and walls. To top it off, we installed our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to control humidity and improve air quality.

With this dynamic system in place, the homeowner now enjoys a clean, dry, and healthy crawl space, and peace of mind for years to come!

Check out this CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation our team installed in Hazlet, NJ. Encapsulating your crawl space prevents mold growth, keeps bugs and small animals from living entering the space, and improves the air quality in your home!  

This homeowner from Hazlet, NJ was facing moisture issues in their crawl space. They called Quality 1st Basements for a free estimate. One of our System Design Specialists recommended SilverGlo, CleanSpace, Drainage Matting, StarPipe, SmartSump, SaniDry Sedona.

First, the team created a trench around the perimeter of the crawl space to sit StarPipe against the wall, channeling any water seepage to the sump pump for removal. Drainage matting was laid down to move any standing water to the perimeter drains with its textured grooves. SilverGlo was installed on the walls to warm up the crawl space with its insulated panels. CleanSpace Vapor Barrier was used to encapsulate the crawl space, keeping moisture from seeping through to the rest of the crawl space. SmartSump was installed in the corner to remove the seepage from the crawl space. SaniDry Sedona was placed next to it to rid the air of any humidity.

The homeowner can now have peace of mind, knowing the crawl space was dry and healthy.
