Recently in Absecon, NJ, we had the privilege of assisting a homeowner who was facing a collection of concerns regarding their home's sustainability and safety. The call came to us after the homeowner noticed some shifting in their home’s foundation, comprised primarily of cinder blocks, as well as urgent needs for waterproofing and outside insulation. We proposed a tailored solution using CleanSpace, SilverGlo, and our SmartJack system. The CleanSpace liner was to be installed in the crawl space to provide a solid water vapor barrier, preventing future moisture or water damage. SilverGlo insulation panels were placed to enhance energy efficiency. To the pressing issue of the home’s shifting foundation, we deployed our SmartJack system, providing solid support to stabilize and potentially lift the foundation to its original position.
As the weather gets warmer, you will face rising humidity levels in your crawl space which causes mold growth and wood rot. This creates an unhealthy living space for your family and also compromises your crawl space insulation and floor joints. By encapsulating this crawl space, we were able to control the humidity levels and greatly improve the foundation, air quality, and your home's energy efficiency. Now this homeowner can also use his crawl space for storage.
This basement in Plainfield, NJ was experiencing water leakage where the floor met the wall. Heavy rains would enter the basement through the footing of the house or through the pores in the walls. Quality 1st Basements waterproofed this basement by installing a SuperSump in the lowest point of the basement, where most of the water was pooling. The SuperSump drained the groundwater in the homeowner's basement and protected it from future damage.
