Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Chilly Crawl Space Insulated in Keyport, NJ

After Hurricane Sandy, the damp fiberglass insulation in this Keyport, NJ crawl space fell from the ceiling and littered the crawl space with debris. A musty smell was coming from the crawl space and the homeowner was concerned that she had mold growth. The rooms above the crawl space were freezing cold without insulation below and she was spending more and more on her energy bills trying to keep the house a constant, comfortable temperature. She called Quality 1st Basement Systems for help with insulating her crawl space. When wet, fiberglass insulation can grow nasty, dangerous mold. Mold loves to eat organic materials, and fiberglass is full of it. The first step to keeping the crawl space safe was removing all of the damaged insulation. Then, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed SilverGlo crawl space insulation to keep this home warm. SilverGlo crawl space insulation is made with inorganic material that will not get damaged during a flood and will never grow mold. The insulation uses graphite to reflect heat, trapping in warm air. The old rusty crawl space door was removed and replaced with a waterproof EverLast door. Now this crawl space is properly insulated and the room above it is now warm again.
