Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

The CleanSpace CrawlSpace Encapsulation System especially designed to stop moisture from passing through your floors and porous concrete walls. A crawl space liner should be installed, it will allow for servicemen to use the space without damage, and it'll transform your crawl space into usable storage space. Just look at the difference!

Quality 1st was contacted by this Woodcliff Lake homeowner when the home inspector told the owner and Realtor the crawl space was wet and had mositure built up inside. Since the homeowner was selling the home, the problems occuring the crawl spaced was a main concern. Quality 1st sent System Design Specialist, Jeff Nero out to inspect the crawl space and deisgn a solution that provided the best solution for this home. 

Jeff recommended, CleanSpace which would be able to protect the crawl space from mositure and water vapor from coming through the walls. Drainage Matting was installed under the CleanSpace to prevent water from getting trapped under the liner. Clean Space is a durable, bright liner that seals the crawlspace off when applied to the walls and floors. 

Quality 1st was able to provide the homeowner will great service allowing them to sell their home. 

Our team worked with this homeowner in Hillsdale, NJ to address the water concerns in their crawl space. Upon inspection, our Specialist, Dane noticed the floor joist in the crawl space area were sagging. Over time the water and moisture caused damage to the wood. First, Dane recommended waterproofing the crawl space. Stopping water from seeping in will protect the foundation and the wooden beams as well. Keeping the space dry and healthy creates better quality air and a healthier home. After the SmartSump Pump was installed, our team installed the Moisture Vapor Barrier known as CleanSpace to the walls and floor. CleanSpace stops moisture from passing through, preventing mold growth and musty smells. Last, SmartJacks were installed against the floor joist to provide additional support. This prevents future movement to the floor beams, stabilizing the floor above. 

A Hillsdale, NJ homeowner was looking to seal their crawl space. After searching the Internet for credible contractors, they decided to hire Quality 1st Basement Systems for the job. As a solution, we recommended a full encapsulation of their crawl space. Encapsulation is when our team goes in and seals, all openings and areas where unwanted drafts and moisture can find their way in. This usually means near the rim joist, crawl space vents and the door are located. Next we install our CleanSpace Moisture Vapor Barrier, to the walls and floor to stop moisture from passing through the exposed foundation and the first floor. The outside elements such as climate can negatively effect the crawl space and cause an unhealthy environment. This can then lead to poor quality air on the first level of your home. Keeping this space dry and healthy not only protects the home and its structure, it also protects you as well! 

Before tackling this damp crawl space in Hillsdale, NJ, homeowners faced constant battles with humidity and moisture.

The transformation is clear in the after photo—our solutions bring peace of mind, protect the home, and improve air quality!
