Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

The relentless problem of standing water and persistent dampness beneath their home was causing increasing anxiety for a homeowner in Pennsauken, NJ. Continuous moisture intrusion in the crawl space created a perfect environment for structural threats, including accelerated wood rot and the spread of mold, posing a risk to the integrity and air quality of the entire home. Recognizing that moisture issues only escalate over time, the homeowner made the decisive choice to call in the certified experts at Quality 1st for a permanent, professional solution.

Our approach began with an extensive inspection, which meticulously identified all points of water entry and allowed our team to craft a completely customized, multi-faceted waterproofing and encapsulation strategy tailored precisely to the structure's needs.

The comprehensive solution involved integrating several high-performance systems for ultimate protection. First, our patented StarPipe Drainage System was installed outside to manage groundwater before it reached the foundation. Inside, the cornerstone of the defense was our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, a heavy-duty, reinforced liner that fully seals the floor and walls, isolating the home from the earth's moisture. To manage any water that enters the space, our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump was installed for reliable, continuous removal. Finally, the crawl space environment was optimized for health and efficiency, SilverGlo Insulation Panels were applied to the walls for superior thermal protection, and our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was added to filter the air and maintain low humidity levels, actively preventing mold growth.

These advanced systems successfully encapsulated the crawl space, ensuring the area remains completely dry, healthy, and fully protected against all future moisture-related issues!

A homeowner in Merchantville, New Jersey had water in their crawl space and contacted Quality 1st for a solution. Our System Design Specialist inspected the crawl space and recommended that the crawl space be sealed off so no more water, moisture or humidity would enter the crawl space. Drainage matting was first installed on the crawl space floors to give the water a channel underneath the crawl space liner. The matting has raised dimples so the water does not get trapped under the floor.

CleanSpace vapor barrier system was installed on the crawl space walls and floors in order to keep water vapor and humidity from passing through. CleanSpace is a durable bright white liner that will not rip or tear making it perfect for storage use. A sump pump was installed to make sure the water entering the basement gets pumped out. The TripleSafe sump pump has three levels of pumps built in to ensure the crawl space stays dry and healthy. This crawl space is free of water and ready for the homeowners to use for storage.       

A damp and humid crawl space was causing discomfort for a homeowner in Haddon Township, NJ, and began to pose a risk to the structural integrity and air quality of their home. Seeking a solution, they reached out to us for assistance in installing a dependable encapsulation system. We renovated their space using our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, as illustrated in the after photo. This solution effectively addresses moisture issues and provides insulation, making it an ideal area for storage.

A homeowner in Clayton, New Jersey contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after noticing their crawl space was attracting moisture. This occurs because the poorly compacted soil around the foundation becomes saturated during heavy rainfall, creating hydrostatic pressure which pushes water and moisture through the walls. Our System Design Specialist provided an inspection of the crawl space and suggested an encapsulation. Our foreman, Wilver Cardoza, installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System that is thick and durable like a pool liner and seals the crawl space from the earth's elements. Now, the crawl space is protected from water and moisture while having a usable storage space.

This Barrington, NJ, homeowner recognized ongoing water seepage issues in their crawl space that were resulting in the accumulation of mold growth and mildew. Without a proper repair solution, the owner feared that the area could suffer from detrimental structural deterioration and rot, luckily our waterproofing experts were fully prepared to provide a permanent resolution.

Once our team finished evaluating and assessing the crawl space, they began installing our specially patented Drainage Matting, our mold-resistant CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, and our high-performance SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier.

Altogether these systems will eliminate potential rot and mold accumulation issues, and allow the owner to feel content in knowing that their beloved crawl space is structurally safeguarded for many years to come!
