Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Musty Basement and Crawl Space Fixed in Roosevelt, NJ

The owner of this home in Roosevelt, NJ had double trouble with a musty crawl space, and a damp basement. The homeowner called Quality 1st Basement Systems for a free estimate on waterproofing the dirt crawl space and the unfinished basement. Waterproofing specialist Jeff Nero inspected the property and found damp, moist walls in both spaces and a humid, uncomfortable environment. He knew the best solution for the problem! First, Quality 1st Basement Systems took care of the musty crawl space. CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed on the walls, in order to keep moisture out and dry air in. Dirt crawl spaces are havens for mold growth and pests, but CleanSpace is made out of mold resistant plastic and creates a barrier between the crawl space and the dirt. Installed quickly, a typical CleanSpace job can take less than a day! SilverGlo insulation was installed, which is better than fiberglass and will never grow mold. Tiny pieces of graphite reflect heat, keeping the crawl space insulated and energy efficient. These two products will work together to keep the crawl space warm and energy bills down. The basement needed a new waterproof Bilco door that would not leak, so Quality 1st Basement Systems installed it quickly and easily. A rusty basement window was unsightly and was growing rust, so it was replaced it with a durable window that will never rust or rot. In order to keep the air dry and comfortable, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed. The SaniDry filters out dust particles, mold spores, and removes water from the air. ThermalDry waterproof flooring was installed in the basement. ThermalDry is inorganic, so it will never rot. It is a tiled basement flooring that is removable for easy cleaning. These products will all keep the basement safe, and a much better looking area to play pool and entertain friends. Now this home is waterproof in both the basement and the crawl space. The owners are happy knowing their house will survive any weather!
