Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Lowering Crawl Space Humidity Levels in Manahawkin, NJ

The insulation in this Manahawkin, NJ crawl space was flooded, moist, and falling off of the ceiling. Fiberglass insulation is made with organic materials that soak up moisture. When left alone in the dark, damp crawl space wet fiberglass can grow mold or mildew. The crawl space was chilly and had high humidity. After looking for a company to come and fix the crawl space, the owner of this home called Quality 1st Basement Systems. Quality 1st Basement Systems removed the wet fiberglass insulation from the crawl space. The team installed crawl space insulation, a crawl space encpapsulation system, and a dehumidifier. These products are designed and proven to work together and keep the crawl space dry and lower the humidity levels.  The team installed SilverGlo crawl space insulation on the walls of the crawl space. Unlike fiberglass, SilverGlo insulation is made with inorganic materials. It has a silvery shine that reflects heat and traps warmth in the crawl space. SilverGlo insulation is infused with tiny pieces of graphite, that's what gives it its insulation properties. With the moisture barrier in place, this crawl space will stay warm and dry. The humidity has been safely lowered.
