Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A Bridgewater, NJ, homeowner was interested in encapsulating their crawl space, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for an estimate. A solution was installed, the CleanSpace Moisture Barrier, which seals the space off from the outside elements. Stopping moisture and dampness from passing through the dirt floor and foundation walls will help keep this space dry and healthy. 

To eliminate musty odors and cold floors, this homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basements  to encapsulate their crawl space. Our Senior Design Specialist, Jeff N., headed out to inspect the site and our team led by Wilver completed the installation. 

We installed SmartJack Stabilizers to provide additional support to the floor joist and crawl space beams to prevent sagging floors and structural issues in the future. Our team also installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to prevent moisture and water from seeping through the foundation wall.  

A homeowner in Bridgewater, New Jersey noticed their home had water and moisture coming in through the walls and the floors. This happens because of the poorly compacted loose soil around the home. Over time, this loose soil settles and becomes saturated, which causes hydrostatic pressure to push water and moisture through the walls. This can have many negative effects such as mold, musty smells, increased heating and cooling bills, and even dust mites.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Mike DiVirgilio, was able to help them with a plan to fix this issue. He suggested they install a moisture barrier system, and also a French drain system. Our foremen installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System along the basement walls. CleanSpace will keep moisture out of the basement. It provides a vapor barrier, drains water behind it and brightens the appearance of the basement. Next, the foremen installed the WaterGuard Drain System which sits on top of the footing, instead of alongside it. This keeps the wet dirt from getting into the drain because it does not sit in the mud. Now, the homeowner does not have to worry about water or moisture getting into the basement.

A homeowner in Bridgewater, New Jersey contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after they noticed their crawl space was attracting moisture. This happens because the poorly compacted soil around the home becomes saturated during heavy rainfall, creating hydrostatic pressure and pushing water through the walls and floors. Our System Design Specialist, Dylan McDonald, provided an inspection and suggested they encapsulate the crawl space. Our foreman installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System which is thick and durable like a pool liner and will keep moisture and water out of the crawl space. When the job was complete, the homeowner was pleased with the outcome. They had a usable and dry space for storage that is protected from moisture.

The concrete floors of this crawl space in Bridgewater, NJ was causing cold floors on the first floor of the home during the winter. During the summer, the pourous concrete allowed moisture to enter the crawl space and the rest of the home. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed SilverGlo crawl space insulation and CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system to insulate and seal off the crawl space from the damp, cold earth.
