Forked River Basement Waterproofing & Crawl Space Repair Professional

A Forked River, NJ homeowner knew there was an issue in their crawlspace after discovering humidity and moisture develop in the area. They knew that if the problem was not resolved, their crawlspace could develop mold. After searching on the Internet, the homeowner discovered Quality 1st Basement Systems and thought they would be the perfect fit. 

The homeowner spoke with our customer service representative and scheduled an appointment for our System Design Specialist, Thomas Petry to provide a quote. Thomas arrived at the home, on time, and proceeded to inspect the crawlspace. Thomas then presented his findings to the homeowner and suggested our CleanSpace Moisture Barrier would be the perfect solution. 

Our CleanSpace Moisture Barrier prevents moisture and humidity from passing through your crawlspace, allowing the area to be completely dry. Cleanspace will also provide a bright-white and clean look for the crawlspace, 

After the installation, the homeowner did not experience any humidity and moisture development in their crawlspace again, resulting in their full satisfaction with Quality 1st Basement Systems. 

Forked River homeowners contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems when they noticed their front porch steps were sinking and settling. When they put their house on the market, the one complaint that kept coming up was the front steps. They were beginning to crumble and became unsafe to use. For the homeowners to sell their home, they would need to fix the steps. Upon inspection, Concrete Repair Specialist, Tom Carrano measured as much as 6 inches of settlement between where the step originally was and where it was currently. 

The crew drilled small holes into the concrete steps and injected PolyLevel foam underneath. The PolyLevel expands and raises the steps back to their original state and within 15 minutes of injection, the steps could be walked on. Since PolyLevel is a quick installation, it allowed the homeowners to show their house a half hour after the crew was finished, cleaned up and left the house. Quality 1st Basement Systems was able to provide the homeowners with a permanent solution to repair their front steps, leaving the homeowners extremely satisfied. 

Forked River homeowner, Steve, contacted Quality 1st Basement System with complaints of moisture in his crawlspace possibly due to improper venting in the crawl space area. He wanted to increase the air circulation in the crawl space. 

Upon inspection by a Quality 1st Basement Systems System Design Specialist, Vaughn Shaw, discovered that the crawlspace had a small opening on the outside of the home that was sealed with a homemade wood frame. There were also 9 unsealed vents letting in unconditioned air from the outside. The crawlspace had very high humidity levels, which can cause the wood beams supporting the floors above to rot. There was also a musty smell coming from the crawl space. Vaughn also found insects and debris in the crawlspace. There were also 9 unsealed vents letting in unconditioned air from the outside.

Quality 1st Basement Systems recommended an EverLast door which would provide a secure, airtight seal to the crawlspace, as well as vent covers for the 9 vents that were constantly allowing cold air in the winter and warm, moist air in the summer into the crawlspace.  Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a SaniDry CX, which is specifically designed for compact spaces but still able to remove up to 109 pints of water a day from his 1,556 square foot crawlspace all while purifying the air in that space as well! It’s a known fact that 30 to 50% of the air that’s upstairs started out in the crawlspace. Thanks to the SaniDry this family will be able to breathe easy knowing that they are breathing in clean, dry air. The condensate pump will rid the crawlspace of the water the SaniDry is removing from the air. The condensate line was run to a discharge line outside so that Steve will never have to empty a drain pan. Lastly, the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System has completely isolated Steve’s home from the earth (dirt crawlspace) and will continue to prevent unconditioned air and water vapor from passing through his cement block walls into the crawlspace directly below his family’s living space above.  The end result was a very happy customer and family.
