Due to the high water table of this Union County crawl space, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the crawl space. Traditionally, WaterGuard is used in basements, but due to the unique circumstances surrounding this crawl space, it was the perfect fit. Water was coming into the crawl space through the floor joints. WaterGuard will drain the water to sump pump that was also installed. The TripleSafe sump pump will pump the water out of the crawl space and away from the home. This crawl space has not flooded since the repair was done!
Homeowner Michael noticed a lot of humidity in his crawl space. Quality 1st Basements was able to help Michael with his crawl space concerns by concealing the crawl space vents with CleanSpace vent covers to prevent the outside air and moisture from getting in.
What is Crawl Space Encapsulation? Well, we encapsulated this Summit, NJ crawl space by covering every crawl space vent to prevent moisture and water from coming through. We put our Heat Barrier known as SilverGlo, on the walls to protect the heat from escaping the crawl space. Next, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier is installed on the floors and part of the walls to prevent water seepage and mold growth. By sealing the crawl space, you now have a dry, clean and healthy space.
CleanSpace Vapor Barrier was installed to the walls to prevent moisture and mold growth. This will keep the space dry and heathy and promote cleaner, better quality air to prevent that nasty basement smell. It is tucked into our french drain system know as WaterGuard to direct water seepage from the wall direct down into the system to flow into the sump pump.
System Design Specialist, Javier recommended our Moisture VaporBarrier known as Cleanspace to stop moisture in this Summit, NJ Crawlspace.

With its 25-year warranty against rips and tears, homeowners can use their crawlspace as an extra storage room.
