Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner living in Shrewsbury, NJ had a nasty crawl space where they were experiencing high moisture and a musty odor. They contacted their local experts, Quality 1st Basements for a free estimate and a solution to their concerns. Our Senior System Design Specialist, Ken Peare, did a full inspection of the crawl space and noticed water marks along the walls and floor. The crawl space vents were not sealed completely shut allowing humidity inside and there was signs of pests and critters as well. 

Quality 1st Basements recommended a full encapsulation system. Foreman Juan Garcia and his team installed a heat barrier known as SilverGlo on the walls of the crawl space for the cold winter months. Over the SilverGlo, our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier is installed to prevent water vapor and humidity from coming through the foundation walls into the crawl space area. By encapsulating the crawl space, the area is completely sealed off from the harmful outside environment.  The homeowner was amazed at their crawl space transformation and can't wait to use this space for additional storage. 

A homeowner in Shrewsbury, New Jersey noticed water and moisture seeping through their crawl space walls and floors. Water can get into the basement because of the poorly compacted soil around the home's foundation. Over time, this soil becomes saturated during periods of heavy rainfall and creates hydrostatic pressure, which lets the water seep into the walls. Another reason moisture gets into the crawl space is from the dirt in the crawl space. This crawl space is not sealed from the earth, meaning the elements can easily enter the crawl space.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Jack Huber, was able to provide an inspection. Jack suggested they encapsulate the crawl space to keep it dry and sealed from the earth. Our foreman, Mario Barron, installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System throughout the crawl space to seal it from the earth. Installing the vapor barrier system is a quick process and attaches to the walls with plastic pegs, giving the crawl space a bright and fresh appearance. Now, the crawl space will prevent moisture from getting in from the outside elements.

Quality 1st Basement Systems provided a solution for this wet and musty crawl space located in New City, New Jersey. Upon inspection, our System Design Specialist, noticed some insulation on the floor instead of neatly in the ceiling. This was a sign of moisture in the air. We installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to prevent moisture and humidity from entering the crawl space. CleanSpace is a thick, durable liner that is mold-proof and water-proof. 

This ranch home in Haworth, NJ had an exposed crawl space with moisture issues and foundation concerns noted during a pre-purchase inspection. To create a long-term solution, we sealed and insulated the space with CleanSpace and SilverGlo, reinforced the foundation with SmartJacks, and installed a SaniDry Sedona for moisture control. The crawl space is now encapsulated, supported, and protected, giving the homeowner peace of mind.

Recognizing the growing structural concerns in their crawl space, a homeowner in Haworth, NJ became increasingly worried as support beams weakened and walls began to crack due to ongoing moisture exposure and soil displacement. To address these critical issues, they contacted the experts at Quality 1st Basement Systems for a thorough evaluation.

Our team conducted a detailed inspection, carefully assessing the extent of the damage and identifying the areas most at risk, allowing us to create a tailored repair plan that would provide a long-term solution for their home’s foundation.

Based on our assessment, we recommended and installed our patented SmartJack Support System, engineered to reinforce compromised beams, stabilize walls, and prevent further movement. Each SmartJack was strategically positioned to deliver optimal support, restoring the structural integrity of the crawl space without the need for invasive construction.

With the system fully installed, the homeowner now enjoys a structurally secure crawl space, protecting their home from continued settlement and providing lasting peace of mind in the strength and stability of their foundation!
