New Jersey Waterproofing Company Helps Out Habitat for Humanity

PERTH AMBOY, NJ – While the northeast is frozen for the next several months, it can be difficult to ensure that no one is left out in the cold. Quality 1st Basement Systems is working towards creating warm shelter for the community by lending a hand to the local Habitat for Humanity chapter. With the help of Quality 1st, a new house was constructed in Millstone, NJ, for a wounded veteran in need of a home.

"It is important to us to help a soldier who was overseas - the men and women of the armed forces are extremely brave," said Bob Cherry, general manager for Quality 1st Basement Systems. "We jumped at the chance to help on this project to show our appreciation for the work that these men and women do."

All building material and labor was donated by Quality 1st, and the project took place over January 12th and 13th. The crew at Quality 1st installed the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation system over 2,200 square feet in order to seal the crawl space away from the earth and lower the humidity in the house. Quality Concrete, a Quality 1st Company, poured concrete for other parts of the project. While they were there, they were asked about pouring concrete in the crawl space. After discussing CleanSpace and its energy-saving benefits with the rest of the group, the decision was made to install the CleanSpace in the crawl space right on the spot instead of pouring concrete in it. After the house was framed and weather tight, Quality 1st Basement Systems finished the CleanSpace installation.
