Photo Album: Encapsulated Crawl Space Stays Fresh in Manalapan Township, NJ

Quality 1st Basement Systems met with a homeowner in Manalapan Township, NJ. She had a small crawl space about two feet deep. After heavy rains, water pooled into the crawl space and the entire home would smell like muddy, musty dirt. She wanted to ensure that the crawl space stayed dry and waterproof, as well as protect her home from nasty odors. The first step to protecting this home was installing a sump pump in the crawl space. The sump pump removes water from the crawl space, making sure that it stays dry after rains. Then, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace vapor barrier is a thick, durable plastic with a built in freshener to keep the air smelling clean and healthy. The vapor barrier prevents moisture from coming into the crawl space. It also creates a barrier between the crawl space and the dirt floor, making sure that debris and pests do not get in. Now, with the sump pump and vapor barrier this crawl space will stay dry! Heavy rains will no longer be an issue and the air will always smell fresh and clean.
