Damp Crawl Space Solution in Belmar, NJ
Challenge
Don't ignore your crawl space! This homeowner in Belmar, New Jersey noticed a musty smell coming from their crawl space. This can happen in a dirt crawl space when it's exposed to the elements of the earth. Dirt and soil hold a lot of moisture and this moisture can turn into water vapor that rises into the air. If this goes without repair, this can cause many issues for a home such as rotting wood, smelly carpets, increased energy bills, and even mold growth!
Solution
The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after finding us on the internet. We sent our System Design Specialist to provide a free estimate inspection for the homeowner and suggested they seal the crawl space from the earth's elements. Our foreman and crew installed our Drainage Matting and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. This is first done by removing dirt and debris and leveling uneven surfaces. Our drainage matting will catch any water that seeps in from the ground and drain it away. After this, they install CleanSpace, which is a mold-proof and waterproof durable liner. This system will prevent water vapor and humidity from passing through the barrier, keeping the crawl space dry and healthy all year round!
