Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This East Brunswick, NJ homeowner had moisture in the crawl space. They had a dirt floor and the crawl space was always moist and muddy. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a Clean Space liner to keep the moisture and humidity out of the crawl space. In addition to the CleanSpace, the Drainage Matting was installed under the liner to allow any water to flow to a sump pump keeping the crawl space dry and clean.

In Lake Hiawatha, NJ, a homeowner contacted us with a crucial concern – preventing moisture in their crawl space. As you can see in the before photo, the area was exposed and vulnerable, posing risks to the home's structure and air quality. Our team installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System solution that completely transformed the crawl space, as the photo shows. The encapsulation now ensures a dry, clean, and efficiently protected area underneath the home, guarding against moisture and humidity.

This homeowner in Lake Hiawatha attempted to insulate his crawl space using a lower grade vapor barrier. It is evident that this was insufficient as you can see the detorioration and rotting of the metal jacks. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed new SmartJacks which will not rust along with CleanSpace encapsulation system to remedy this homeowner's crawl space problems.

After months of ignoring their sagging floors, they decided to meet with a crawl space specialist to determine the cause. We sent our System Design Specialist our to inspect the space and provide a solution. With the high levels and moisture and humidity, the wooden floor joist started to sag. Our team recommended our Moisture Vapor Barrier to address the moisture concerns by stopping the moisture and humidity from passing through the foundation walls. To provide additional support to the floor joist, SmartJacks were installed to stabilize the beams and gradually bring them back towards their original level.
