Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A dirt crawl space in Clinton, NJ was causing humidity concerns inside the home. Quality 1st encapsulated the area with CleanSpace and insulated it using SilverGlo Panels. The homeowner now benefits from improved air quality and a more efficient home.

Recognizing the severe risks posed by unchecked moisture, a homeowner in Clinton, NJ, sought a professional and definitive solution to combat the persistent threat of structural wood rot and hazardous mold growth in their crawl space. The continuous presence of dampness can undermine the structural stability and compromise the indoor air quality of the entire home. Therefore, the homeowner wisely turned to the experts at Quality 1st. Our team performed a detailed inspection, which was essential for accurately diagnosing the severity of the moisture intrusion and crafting a highly customized encapsulation strategy designed to permanently isolate the crucial space from ground moisture and outside air.

The tailored, multi-layered approach involved integrating several specialized systems to achieve maximum protection. The process began by laying our patented Drainage Matting on the floor, ensuring a clear channel for any underlying water to flow. Next, the entire space was hermetically sealed using our heavy-duty CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, a reinforced, inorganic liner that effectively cuts off the home from ground moisture. All exterior vents were sealed using our durable CleanSpace Vent Covers to stop humid, unconditioned air from entering. To enhance energy efficiency and provide superior insulation, SilverGlo Insulation Panels were expertly applied to the crawl space walls.

These advanced, integrated systems successfully transformed the crawl space into a completely dry, healthy, and fully protected environment, securing the structural integrity and long-term health of the entire home!

A homeowner in Glen Gardner, New Jersey reported their walls bowing inwards and cracking. This is a major sign of foundation issues and can happen because the soil around the home's foundation settles and becomes saturated. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Laszlo Lenkey, provided an inspection of the home. He suggested they install a strap support system to bring the wall to its original position. Our foreman, Esau Aquino, installed The CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System which is carbon fiber straps that are stronger than steel. The Carbon Armor Straps provide the ultimate stabilization to the wall and are placed on the wall with a high-strength epoxy resin. There are brackets above the system that allow the straps to be adjusted to bring the wall towards the original position.
