Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Moisture Removed in Little Egg Harbor, NJ Crawl Space

Homeowner was experiencing water in their crawl space every time it rained. Overtime, it became cold, damp and mositure started to develop. All this cold air in the crawl space was then traveling up to the first floor of the home, making the floor cold and it took longer for the home to warm up. System Design Specialist, Jack Huntsman, drove down to Little Egg Harbor to meet with the homeowners and do a full inspection to see exactly what was going on. The crawl space was dark and damp, there was a musty odor and water still inside from when it had rained. Jack recommended a Vapor Barrier System which would keep the crawl space warm and dry. A Vapor Barrier System consist of CleanSpace, SilverGlo, Drainage Matting and a TripleSafe sump pump. The CleanSpace liner would protect water vapor and water leaks from coming through while the drainage matting is to prevent water from getting trapped underneath as it makes its way to the sump pump. SilverGlo is installed to the walls has a heat barrier insulation to keep the crawl space warm. A TripleSafe sump pump is then installed with a back up battery in case of a power outage. Quality 1st was able to transform the Little Egg Harbor crawl space into a dry, warm and moisture free area.

Damp, Cold Crawl Space in Little Egg Harbor, NJ

This Crawl Space had standing water and a cold draft when Jack first went down there. The insulation absorbed the water and moisture, getting wet and heavy, causing it to fall from the ceiling.

Insulation Is Replaced with SilverGlo

The SilverGlo and drainage matting are the first thing the crew installed into the crawl space. The drainage mat is there to prevent any water from getting trapped under the liner. The mat will direct the water to the sump pump. SilverGlo is a perfect insulation for the crawl space because it is moisture resistant and acts as a heat barrier to keep the area warm.

Crew Installs Protective CleanSpace Liner

CleanSpace Liner is installed over the SilverGlo and Drainage Matting, to protect the crawl space against pests, dirt, water and unwanted humidity, water vapor and cold drafts.

TripleSafe Sump Pump installed

TripleSafe Sump Pump is installed to keep the crawl space dry by pumping water out and away from the foundation of the home.

IceGuard and VentCover

Vent Covers are installed to seal the vents to prevent unwanted air drafts and animals from getting inside along with water from heavy rains. IceGuard is installed to the discharged pipe as an alternative exit for water if the pipes were to freeze during the cold months.
