Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

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! 

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.
