Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Plainfield, New Jersey was experiencing water coming in through their basement walls and floors. This happens because of the loose backfilled soil around the home's foundation. Over time, this loose soil becomes saturated during heavy rainfall and creates hydrostatic pressure, which pushes water and moisture through the walls. This can have many negative effects on the home's health such as dust mites, musty smells, mold growth, and increased heating and cooling bills.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our foreman 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 the drain does not sit in the mud. Next, the foreman installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System which is thick like a pool liner and is placed along the basement wall. This system is a vapor barrier, drains water behind it and dramatically brightens the basement.

A homeowner in North Plainfield, New Jersey noticed dampness and humidity issues in their crawl space. They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to have their crawl space inspected. Our System Design Specialist, Joe Mancini, arrived at the home and provided a thorough inspection of the crawl space. Joe suggested they encapsulate the space to seal it from the earth's elements. Our foreman, Mario Barron, installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, which is a thick liner that is mold-resistant and waterproof. CleanSpace will prevent water vapor and moisture from passing through into the crawl space. Since the installation, the homeowner has had a dry and healthy crawl space with no issues!

A homeowner in Lakehurst, New Jersey called Quality 1st Basement Systems for a free estimate on crawl space encapsulation and insulation. Their crawl space was humid and the fiberglass insulation was messy and wet. 

Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CleanSpace crawl space vapor barrier. CleanSpace stops moisture from entering the crawl space. Humid crawl spaces can grow mold and mildew, and the wet air can seep to the rest of the house. To replace the wet fiberglass, SilverGlo insulation was installed. SilverGlo insulates better than fiberglass, and is much cleaner. Fiberglass can grow mold, is not waterproof, and does not insulate cold at the source. Now this crawl space has a lower humidity, stays dry, and will save the homeowner money on heating. Proper crawl space insulation and vapor barrier pays for itself in savings!
