Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Insulated in Lakehurst, NJ

A homeowner in Lakehurst, NJ had a very cold crawl space that was costing her big bucks in heating. Every winter, cold air blew through the crawl space and rose up through the house, making the floors chilly and caused the heating system to work extra hard. Sick of wasting money on heat, she called Quality 1st Basement Systems for a free estimate on insulating her crawl space. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed SilverGlo and TerraBlock crawl space insulation. TerraBlock insulation can be installed over uneven crawl space floors. It has a 3/4" foam barrier with a built in vapor barrier to keep out moisture. Puncture-resistant, TerraBlock insulates from the ground up so it is better than fiberglass. Fiberglass sits on the ceiling, where it can fall down after getting damaged. TerraBlock sits on the floor instead, where it keeps cold air out and creates a barrier between the crawl space and the chilly dirt floor. SilverGlo was installed along the crawl space walls. SilverGlo crawl space insulation uses graphite to reflect heat and keep the area warm. Unlike fiberglass, SilverGlo is made out of inorganic material. Fiberglass can grow mold and mildew, which can pose a health threat. However both TerraBlock and SilverGlo are mold-resistent!  The homeowner also requested a new crawl space door, so Quality 1st Basement Systems installed an EverLast door. EverLast is made out of durable, waterproof materials. It will never rot and will keep moisture and cold air out of the crawl space. Now this crawl space is insulated properly! The homeowner is saving money on her energy bills, and is prepared for a cold NJ winter!
