Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation Saves Money in Gladstone, NJ

A homeowner in Gladstone, NJ was losing money on heating his drafty crawl space. He called Quality 1st Basement Systems for a free estimate on how to keep his basement warm and save him money on energy bills! Crawl space specialist Maurice Robinson showed the homeowner several products that would be helpful, including crawl space insulation. Quality 1st Basement Systems encapsulated the dirt crawl space, creating a barrier between the area and the cold dirt floor. The construction team installed CleanSpace vapor barrier, which is a thick plastic liner that protects the crawl space from water vapor, rot, musty smells, moisture, and insects. CleanSpace makes the crawl space healthier, and transforms it into a usable storage area that will never get wet or damaged. The liner is durable, and comes with a guarantee that it will not snag or puncture. Underneath the vapor barrier lies a dimpled drainage matting, which keeps moisture out of the crawl space. To keep the space insulated, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed SilverGlo. SilverGlo is a crawl space insulator that uses graphite to reflect heat. Unlike fiberglass, it will not rot or get damaged with water. Totally inorganic and waterproof, SilverGlo will save the homeowner on his monthly heating bills! Now this crawl space is waterproof and the homeowner is noticing the savings!
