Crawl Space Repair in Fair Lawn, NJ
Challenge
A homeowner in Fair Lawn, NJ had been dealing with persistent damp odors and excess moisture in their crawl space for years, raising concerns about comfort, air quality, and long-term structural health. Seeking a permanent solution, they chose a comprehensive crawl space waterproofing and encapsulation system designed to manage water, control humidity, and improve energy efficiency.
Solution
The project began by addressing water movement beneath the home. Drainage Matting was installed along the crawl space floor to channel any water intrusion toward the perimeter drainage system, preventing pooling and moisture buildup. To improve insulation and seal the crawl space walls, SilverGlo insulation panels were added, helping reflect heat back into the home while resisting moisture and mold growth. The space was then fully encapsulated with a CleanSpace liner, creating a durable vapor barrier that blocks ground moisture and transforms the crawl space into a clean, dry environment.
To maintain healthy humidity levels year-round, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed, ensuring consistent moisture control and improved air quality throughout the home. On the exterior, LawnScape outlets were added to safely discharge water away from the foundation, while a SmartSump system provided dependable protection against groundwater intrusion and unexpected water events.
With these systems working together, the homeowner now enjoys a dry, efficient, and worry-free crawl space. The waterproofing solution not only eliminated odors and moisture concerns but also added long-term value, energy efficiency, and peace of mind to the home.
