Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Soil can hold moisture and that moisture becomes water vapor that escapes into the crawl space air. The homeowner called Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist provide a thorough inspection and suggested they encapsulate the space. Our foreman installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System which is a thick and durable plastic liner. It is waterproof and mold resistant and will block any moisture from getting into the crawl space. Not only will the homeowner be protected from allergies, asthma, and pests, but they will also have a space for storage!
