Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Moisture intrusion and structural instability in a Landing, NJ crawl space raised serious concerns for the homeowner, who noticed signs such as musty odors, increased indoor humidity, and uneven floors. Seeking a long-term solution, they turned to Quality 1st for expert help.

Our team conducted a full inspection of the space, identifying both water intrusion and weakened floor joists as the primary issues. From there, we designed a customized plan to address the underlying problems with a combination of advanced waterproofing and structural repair systems.

To manage water and moisture, we installed our patented Drainage Matting to direct water to proper drainage points, followed by SilverGlo Insulation Panels to create a moisture-resistant thermal barrier. The space was then fully encapsulated with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, sealing out ground moisture and greatly improving air quality. For structural support, we installed our SmartJack Support System beneath the failing joists, providing strong, adjustable reinforcement to lift and stabilize the floors above.

This complete solution not only protected the home from further moisture damage but also restored structural integrity, giving the homeowner long-lasting peace of mind and a healthier living environment.

A crawl space should not be comprised of dirt and moisture. This homeowner's crawl space in Ledgewood, New Jersey had moisture and even signs of mold growth. They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Mike Fiorillo, provided an inspection and suggested they install a moisture vapor barrier system. Our foreman, Mario Barron, installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System which completely seals the crawl space from the earth's elements. This barrier system will ensure the crawl space stays dry, healthy and protected against moisture, mold and dampness. 

During annual maintenance on this high performance Sedona Sedona Dehumidifier, the Service Technician Chris inspected the system, cleaned the heat exchange core, checked the refrigeration system, and changed filters. Additionally, as this system was installed with a Condensate Pump System, Chris inspected, cleaned, and flushed the condensate drain lines to ensure that the waste condensate water continues to move out of the basement area properly. All set, the system was ready to continue its peak operation removing up to 95 pints of water per day! 

This crawl space had standing water after a bad storm and the new homeowner wanted to get this problem resolved right away since he just purchased the home and didn't want future damage to the space. 

Quality 1st Basement Systems was able to completely waterproof this Skillman crawl space with Cleanspace, Drainage Matting, Silver Glo, Smart Pump, SaniDry Dehumidifier, and IceGuard. Any Future water leaks will be directed straight the the SmartPump and Pump out away from the home. The IceGuard will allow the water to still have a proper exit even in the winter when the pipe freezes. 

This homeowner can now enjoy his new homer rain or shine without having to worry about a leaking crawl space.

A homeowner in Skillman, New Jersey noticed water coming in through their crawl space walls. This can happen because of the poorly compacted soil around the foundation that gets saturated during heavy rainfall. This saturated soil creates hydrostatic pressure and pushes water through the walls. A wet crawl space can have many negative effects such as mold, dust mites, increased energy bills, and poor air quality. This air can travel into the upper levels of the home and affect the homeowner's health. Our foreman, Esau Aquino, installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System throughout the crawl space. This will ensure that no moisture will enter the crawl space and it will be kept dry. The vapor barrier system is durable and thick like a pool liner and is mold-proof and water-proof. Now, the homeowner's crawl space is healthy and protected from moisture and water.
