Marlton homeowner had a termite problem in his crawl space. He contacted an exterminator who also pointed out that he had mold in the crawl space and should have it encapsulate to prevent further mold growth. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system and a SaniDry crawl space dehumidifier to stop the moisture which will prevent further mold growth! We also insulated the foundation walls of the crawl space which will help keep it warmer in the winter and therefore reducing the amount of energy the homeowner will need in the rooms above.
Before tackling this damp crawl space in Dresher, PA, homeowners faced constant battles with humidity and moisture. As visible in the before photo, the space was unwelcoming and a haven for potential structural and health issues. Our crew installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to seal away moisture and protect the crawl space from the earth's elements. The transformation is clear in the after photo—our solutions bring peace of mind, protect the home, and improve air quality!
This Elmer, New Jersey Homeowner, contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems through the internet to have a foundation specialist out to provide a thorough inspect of their floor joist in their basement. Javier Romero, did a full walkthrough with the homeowner and noticed multiple areas that lacked the proper support to the floor joist. Some of the basement columns were showing serious sign of stress holding the weight of the floor above.
Javier recommended SmartJacks be installed against the floor joist. This system provides additional support to the floor joist and wooden beam to ensure the floor above is secured in place. This prevents damage to the floor, the molding and any damage to the wood such as splitting.
At this property, the dirt floor crawlspace was under the living room section of the house, which was causing the flood to get cold during the winter months. We encapsulated the area with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and laid down a drainage matting under the vapor barrier that captures any moisture that seeps in. Then we installed our SilverGlo insulated wall panel that has been infused with graphite to improve its insulating ability to prevent moisture coming in.
