Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Damp Crawl Space Encapsulated in Emerson, NJ

A family in Emerson, NJ had a moist 18 inch high crawl space. After rains, the area was damp and had a moldy smell that concerned the family. The homeowner saw an advertisement for crawl space encapsulation and wanted more information, so they called Quality 1st Basement Systems. A crawl space specialist visited the home and taught the family about crawl space encapsulation and how it would help them achieve a dry, humid-free crawl space. The family decided it was the best solution! Quality 1st Basement Systems removed the water damaged insulation and added new, waterproof crawl space insulation on the floor and walls. Then they added CleanSpace vapor barrier to keep out moisture. CleanSpace is made out of thick plastic that reduces moisture and humidity in the crawl space. In order to keep water seepage moving out of the crawl space, the installation team added a SmartSump sump pump. The family told their specialist that the musty odor was a problem, since it was drifting up to the rest of the home so Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. The SaniDry dehumidifier removes moisture, musty smells, and mold spores from the air. All of the products work together to keep the crawl space dry, warm, and moisture free. Now the family is enjoying savings on their energy bills and the crawl space is safe from mold growth!
