Encapsulating A Crawl Space In Teaneck, NJ

Monday, January 5th, 2026 by Rebecca Brossa

Challenge

Recurring moisture had begun to create serious concerns for this homeowner in Teaneck, NJ, as repeated heavy rainfall left the crawl space walls and floors increasingly saturated. The persistent water intrusion not only threatened the structural integrity of the home but also raised the risk of long-term issues such as mold growth and wood deterioration. Recognizing the need for a reliable, professional solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to assess and address the problem.

Solution

Our team conducted a thorough inspection of the crawl space to pinpoint the sources of water entry and evaluate the areas most at risk. By examining the foundation, flooring, and surrounding drainage conditions, we were able to develop a fully customized waterproofing strategy tailored to the home’s unique needs. This approach ensured that both the immediate moisture issues and potential long-term concerns would be properly addressed. The solution included installing our patented Drainage Matting to channel water away from the crawl space, SilverGlo Insulation Panels to protect surfaces from dampness while improving energy efficiency, and our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to create a durable, moisture-resistant layer across the crawl space floor. Together, these advanced systems eliminated ongoing water concerns, reinforced the structural stability of the home, and transformed the crawl space into a clean, dry, and healthy environment that the homeowner can confidently enjoy for years to come!

Our crew installed Drainage Matting to create a reliable pathway for water to flow away from the crawl space, preventing standing water and reducing hydrostatic pressure against the foundation. This system protects the home from water seepage, helps preserve structural integrity, and keeps the crawl space consistently dry.

SilverGlo Insulation Panels were added to shield crawl space surfaces from moisture while also improving energy efficiency. By providing a barrier against dampness, these panels help prevent wood rot, mold growth, and temperature fluctuations, creating a healthier and more stable environment for the home.

CleanSpace Wall Panels were installed to create a durable, moisture-resistant barrier along the crawl space walls. This system prevents water from penetrating the walls, protects against mold and mildew, and maintains a clean, dry, and secure crawl space that safeguards the home's foundation and overall structural health.
