Foundation Repairs and Concrete Lifting in Clinton | Basement Waterproofing and Crawl Space Services

Water is the last thing Jack was expecting to see when venturing downstairs to his partially finished basement one afternoon. He had just moved in a few months ago and the home had never experienced water before.  Jack remembered that when his brothers basement flooded, called Quality 1st Basements and so that is exactly what Jack did. Within a few days, System Design Specialist, Jay Hugee, was out to meet with Jack and inspect the water issues. He recommended WaterGaurd and a TripleSafe Sump pump to keep the basement dry, a Sedona Dehumidifier to prevent musty odors and filter cleaner air and BrightWall Panels to give the basement a more finished look. 

Quality 1st Foreman, Juan Garcia and his team completely transformed the wet and smelly basement into a dry and clean space that could now be used as an extra hangout space for his family and their friends. 

The foundation walls in John's basement had began to crack and eventually started to bow inward. John had lived in the home for many years and noticed very small cracks before but never thought these small, tiny cracks would ever cause much damage to his foundation. Overtime, these cracks became a thought in the back of his mind until one day he noticed a large crack on the outside of his home. Venturing downstairs, he noticed those small cracks were now large, since he now had a bowing foundation  

A homeowner living in the area of Clinton, NJ contacted Quality 1st Basements for a free estimate on Crawl Space Repair when he realized how nasty his crawl space had become over the summer. Inside, you could smell a musty odor from all the humidity and moisture from the water. The walls were damp and the System Design Specialist noticed efflorescence had begun to form on the walls as well. The System Design Specialist, recommended a full crawl space encapsulation system be installed to prevent future water leaks and mositure from damaging not only the crawl space but the quality of air in the crawl space as well.

Foreman Wilver, and his team installed a WaterGuard drainage system and a SmartSump pump to protect against future flooding and leaks. Next the team installed SilverGlo, a heat barrier, on the walls to contain heat in the crawl space during the winter months. Over the SilverGlo, the team installed a vapor barrier known as CleanSpace, which is a bright white liner. CleanSpace will not only help direct the water to the WaterGuard but also prevent mold and water vapor in the crawl space. Together all these products will keep the crawl space area dry and healthy!
