Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Pest-Proof Crawl Space Encapsulation in West New York, NJ

A homeowner in West New York, NJ had a dirty crawl space that was costing her time and money. It was drafty, had a musty smell, and she noticed ants constantly coming in and out of the crawl space. Calling an exterminator would only band-aid the problem, so she called Quality 1st Basement Systems to inspect the problem. She told her crawl space inspector that her heating bills were getting higher and higher and that the fiberglass insulation in the crawl space wasn't enough. The fiberglass insulation had been damaged from water and had simply fallen onto the floor. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed TerraBlock crawl space insulation on the floors and SilverGlo crawl space insulation on the walls. Both of the insulators are made with inorganic material that will never grow mold or mildew. TerraBlock crawl space insulation is made out of a durable foam that keeps out moisture and cold air, while SilverGlo insulation uses graphite to reflect and trap in heat. They installed a crawl space encapsulation system to waterproof the area and separate it from the dirt flooring so that pests no longer come in. CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed on the walls to keep out moisture and waterproof the crawl space. The homeowner has noticed a drop in her heating bills and no longer gets ants!
