Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner living in Shrewsbury, NJ had a nasty crawl space where they were experiencing high moisture and a musty odor. They contacted their local experts, Quality 1st Basements for a free estimate and a solution to their concerns. Our Senior System Design Specialist, Ken Peare, did a full inspection of the crawl space and noticed water marks along the walls and floor. The crawl space vents were not sealed completely shut allowing humidity inside and there was signs of pests and critters as well. 

Quality 1st Basements recommended a full encapsulation system. Foreman Juan Garcia and his team installed a heat barrier known as SilverGlo on the walls of the crawl space for the cold winter months. Over the SilverGlo, our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier is installed to prevent water vapor and humidity from coming through the foundation walls into the crawl space area. By encapsulating the crawl space, the area is completely sealed off from the harmful outside environment.  The homeowner was amazed at their crawl space transformation and can't wait to use this space for additional storage. 

A homeowner in Shrewsbury, New Jersey noticed water and moisture seeping through their crawl space walls and floors. Water can get into the basement because of the poorly compacted soil around the home's foundation. Over time, this soil becomes saturated during periods of heavy rainfall and creates hydrostatic pressure, which lets the water seep into the walls. Another reason moisture gets into the crawl space is from the dirt in the crawl space. This crawl space is not sealed from the earth, meaning the elements can easily enter the crawl space.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Jack Huber, was able to provide an inspection. Jack suggested they encapsulate the crawl space to keep it dry and sealed from the earth. Our foreman, Mario Barron, installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System throughout the crawl space to seal it from the earth. Installing the vapor barrier system is a quick process and attaches to the walls with plastic pegs, giving the crawl space a bright and fresh appearance. Now, the crawl space will prevent moisture from getting in from the outside elements.

This Ho Ho Kus, NJ crawl space was very cold. The freezing crawl space caused the first floor to be uncomfortable and also allowed pipes to freeze a few times over the winter. Quality 1st Basement Systems insulated the crawl space using SilverGlo crawl space insulation which will reflect heat back into the crawl space. SilverGlo will keep the crawl space and the rest of the home warmer. The residents have noticed a considerable change in their home's temperature, and their heating bills have gone down!

Homeowners Marty and Sue from Ho Ho Kus, NJ were experiencing water leakage from their crawl space walls. The problem would get worse when heavy rains would come and the walls were stained from the moisture. Quality 1st Basements installed CleanSpace liner to encapsulate the crawl space to protect it from water vapor and humidity. To get the initial moisture out of the crawl space, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to dry the air while the Super Sump was installed on the floor to drain out ground water and protect the crawl space against any future weather conditions.

Now Marty and Sue's walls are stain-free and their crawl space is dry and protected against humidity and moisture.

This Normandy Beach, NJ homeowner owns a crawlspace that becomes very damp in the summer, so they needed to find a solution that would help eliminate the dampness. Luckily, Quality 1st Basement Systems was here to help! We installed our CleanSpace Moisture Barrier that prevents water vapor and humidity from passing through the crawlspace. It also transforms the area from a dirt crawlspace into a bright-white, and clean storage room. In addition, we also installed our SaniDry Sedona, which eliminates musty odors and filters clean air in the crawlspace. Since the installation, the homeowner did not experience any other issues with their crawlspace and has been fully satisfied since then.
