Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Barnegat, New Jersey was experiencing humid and nasty in their crawl space and contacted Quality 1st Basements for a solution. Our System Design Specialist inspected the crawl space and suggested it be encapsulated in order to eliminate the moisture and humidity.

First, Drainage Matting was installed on the crawl space floor to make sure water is not trapped underneath the matting. The matting has raised dimples in order to give the water a channel underneath the crawl space. To seal the crawl space, CleanSpace vapor barrier system was installed to prevent water vapor and humidity from passing through. This durable, bright white liner keeps the crawl space dry and protects the structure and insulation from mold and rot. A sump pump was also installed to make sure the crawl space stays dry and any water entering gets pumped out.

The SmartSump sump pump is ideal for crawl spaces because without one, the crawl space can still be vulnerable to groundwater and leaks. This sump pump also comes with an alarm to alert the homeowners of any water in the crawl space.    

The health of your crawl space effects the overall health of your home, don't wait to address the issues, not when Quality 1st Basements has the solutions! 

This homeowner now has a much safer walkway thanks to our PolyLevel Team!  PolyLevel Foreman, Richard injected the polyurethane form beneath the concrete slabs, filling the void underneath. When the void was filled the PolyLevel form begins to harden, expanding to lift the slab. Once the slabs were lifted, the gaps between each slab closed and were sealed with NexusPro Joint Sealant. The Joint Sealant is meant to keep the concrete from experiencing any future erosion that could cause them to settle again. 

Water can get under concrete slabs, wash out the supporting soil, and leave the slabs sinking and settling. PolyLevel foreman Sean Andreas Johnson injected PolyLevel beneath this customer's concrete walkway, lifted the slabs, and eliminated a rather severe trip hazard. The best part...the high density polymers used in the PolyLevel installation prevent future wash-outs!

Quality 1st Basement Systems, installed an Egress RockWell window well in this home. The RockWell is great because it's built from high-strength composites, our products are rust proof, temperature resistant and won’t collapse from backfill pressure An egress window well is deeper than a standard window well, so a cover is essential to prevent children and pets from accidentally falling in. A clear plastic cover for your window well will also protect against pests, debris, and rainwater. The homeowner was very pleased on how the window well looked after the install. 

Our Egress window provides an alternative exit to the basement incase of an emergency. Not only does it allow more natural light into the space, it is tightly sealed to keep unwanted drafts and moisture out.
