Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Sparta, New Jersey

The crawl space of this Sparta home was damp and the homeowner knew this could be a problem. Mold spores and bacteria in a crawl space could travel up to the first floor creating a health hazard. He checked Angie’s List and found Quality 1st Basement Systems had the best ratings. He called right away. Ken Peare, a Crawl Space Design Specialist, inspected this Sparta Crawl Space and let the homeowner know that encapsulation would alleviate their wet crawl space problem and give them a healthier home. He recommended TerraBlock to insulate the crawl space floor and Drainage Matting to direct any moisture coming in to the sump pump. SilverGlo would insulate the crawl space walls. SilverGlo’s radiant barrier will reflect heat back into the crawl space keeping the cold out. Together with TerraBlock, SilverGlow is the ultimate in energy efficiency. Next, the CleanSpace Liner would be installed to fully encapsulate the crawl space. This bright and durable vapor barrier prevents water and humidity from passing through into the crawl space. CleanSpace has a mold-resistant additive, “UltraFresh,” which prevents the growth of mold and mildew. To completely seal the crawl space, EverLast doors are installed. The EverLast Crawl Space Door creates an airtight seal to prevent humidity or vermin from entering. The Quality 1st Installation crew, with Foreman Jonathan Neira in the lead, arrived in Sparta on time and got right to work encapsulating the crawl spac. Now the homeowner is very happy with his crawl space and knows he has a healthier home. He couldn’t wait to add his own great review for Quality 1st to Angie’s List.
