Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Moldy Crawl Space Remediated in Spring Lake, NJ

After purchasing a new house, a homeowner in Spring Lake, NJ was concerned about his crawl space. There were damp dirt floors, high humidity and worst of all, signs of black mold growing. The moldy smell was wafting up to the rest of the house. Worried that his newly purchased home would make his family ill, the homeowner called Quality 1st Basement Systems to encapsulate the crawl space and remove the mold. Quality 1st Basement Systems was interested in not only remediating the mold, but preventing it from happening ever again. The source of the mold was high humidity and water vapor. The best solution was a crawl space encapsulation system and a dehumidifier that would work together to keep the space dry. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CleanSpace vapor barrier on the walls of the crawl space to keep out moisture, lowering the relative humidity in the crawl space. Then, they installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. The SaniDry removes moisture and impurities from the air. By lowering the relative humidity to a safe level, mold will not grow. Now this crawl space is dry, has a low humidity, and cannot grow mold! The homeowner is free to enjoy his new house without fear or worry of his family getting sick from dangerous black mold.
