A healthy home starts with a healthy crawl space! When water seepage causes a damp and musty environment, as it did for this Spring Lake, NJ home, the integrity of the home's health is on the line. Homeowners should address water problems sooner rather than later before repairs become more extensive and expensive. We were able to provide this home with the relief it was looking for with our expert waterproofing solutions. We encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. Beneath this lining, our Drainage Matting was laid across the crawl space floor to allow water to move away from the floor. The CleanSpace prevents this water from making it inside and, thus. maintains a dry and healthy environment beneath the home!
This Oakhurst home had a humid, wet crawl space that was losing the homeowner money on heating and cooling every year. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CleanSpace, a plastic encapsulation system which keeps water vapor out and dry air in. CleanSpace is durable, it is guarenteed never to tear and will permanently keep moisture away from the crawl space. Now the homeowner's crawl space is no longer an eyesore and they will save money on heating and cooling their house.
Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CleanSpace vapor barrier in this Monmouth County crawl space. By encapsulating the crawl space, water vapor and dirt will stay out. The liner also helps protect the wooden crawl space beams from rot and humidity.
A homeowner in Oakhusrt, New Jersey was experiencing water in their crawl space, as well as showing signs of mold. Exposed earth contributes a lot of water vapor into the crawl space air. The earth is damp and as damp soil dries beneath the house, the water vapor moves upward. Groundwater seeps and leaks get into many crawl spaces as well. The negative effects of a wet crawl space are, mold, smelly damp carpets, increased heating and cooling bills since damp air takes more energy to cool and heat, and even mold upstairs.
The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our foreman, Jonathan Neira, installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System in the crawl space. This vapor barrier is thick like a pool liner and will stop vapor from flowing up from the soil. Any rocks or debris in the craw space are removed and uneven surfaces are leveled. The foreman carefully fitted and installed the liner, and held it in place with drilled-in fasteners and spikes. Check out this transformation!
This Oakhurst, NJ homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after noticing issues in their crawlspace. Our System Design Specialist, Mike F., inspected the area and found there was efflorescence and signs of mold on the walls. Mike concluded that this was caused by dampness and humidity, so he recommended our CleanSpace Moisture Barrier would be the perfect solution.
The CleanSpace Moisture Barrier prevents humidity and water vapor from passing through the crawlspace. As a result, no dampness, mold, and efflorescence would occur, In addition, the crawlspace would be transformed into a clean, bright-white space that the homeowner can use for extra storage.
