Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Keansburg, NJ

A homeowner in Keansburg, New Jersey reported water coming into their crawl space. This happens because the soil around the foundation becomes saturated after periods of heavy rainfall. Water from the surrounding soil pushes against the walls of the foundation and finds its way in. A wet and dirty crawl space can have negative effects such as mold, increased heating and cooling bills, insects and pests, as well as musty smells. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Laszlo,  helped the homeowner fix this issue. He suggested they encapsulate the crawl space, install a sump pump and a dehumidifier. The Quality 1st Basement Foremen Crew installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. This system will ensure that no moisture or water will get into the crawl space. CLeanSpace will help the crawl space stay dry, and gives the crawl space a bright appearance. Next, the foremen installed the SmartSump Pump System which is the perfect solution for a damp crawl space. This sump pump has an airtight enclosed lid to keep moisture from entering the crawl space. It is a reliable sump pump that can pump out 2500 gallons per hour. Lastly, the foremen installed the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, which will circulate the air in the crawl space, keeping it dry and preventing humidity and moisture. It eliminates damp, musty odors, and is also energy efficient. Now, the homeowner has a dry and healthy crawl space under their home.
