Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This crawl space in Toms River, NJ, was experiencing damp and humid conditions due to water intrusion. The homeowner reached out to our team to address this issue and prevent further damage. Our team conducted a thorough assessment of the situation and recommended an installation that would effectively keep the crawl space dry. 

We encapsulated the crawl space using our Drainage Matting and CleanSpace combination, which directs water to flow beneath the new vapor barrier, preventing it from entering the space. Additionally, we insulated the area with our SilverGlo Wall Insulation, providing a radiant heat barrier while preventing water and humidity intrusion. To optimize climate control and maintain clean air quality, we installed one of our Sedona Dehumidifiers. Finally, we completed the project by installing a new EverLast Door to ensure an airtight and waterproof seal for the crawl space, effectively protecting it from external conditions. With this enhanced waterproofing system, this home is now guaranteed to maintain a dry and controlled crawl space that will no longer be susceptible to water damage.

Toms River homeowner faced a musty smell coming from what seemed to be her crawl space. Even in a crawl space with concrete flooring, water vapor can penetrate the concrete and causes moisture, humidity, and eventually mold in the space.  Quality 1st installed the CleanSpace crawl space vapor barrier to fully waterproof the crawl space.  Not only will the CleanSpace seal this home off from the earth, but its antimicrobial additive will further decrease mold symptoms for this Toms River family!

Quality 1st Basement Systems encapsulated this Toms River, NJ crawl space with CleanSpace vapor barrier.

Our Moisture Vapor Barrier known as CleanSpace, was installed to the walls of this Basement to prevent moisture and water seepage through the foundation walls. The CleanSpace will force any water coming through the foundation walls directly down into the our WaterGuard Drain system that directs all water over to the sump pump. 

When the homeowner is ready to finish their basement, their investment will be protected against any basement flooding or water seepage that could have damaged the finishing products such as drywall or carpet. 

This Toms River, New Jersey resident noticed their crawl space was attracting moisture and humidity. This occurs because of hydrostatic pressure pushing against the foundation walls from the saturated soil. As you can see in the before photo, the crawl space can easily attract pests, musty smells, water and even mold. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Dane Cuccinello, provided an inspection and suggested they encapsulate the space. Our foreman installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System which is thick and durable like a pool liner which means it will not easily rip or tear. CleanSpace seals the crawl space from the earth's elements and ensures that it stays dry. Check out the transformation!
