Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Quality 1st Basement Systems supported this sagging crawl space beam in Edison, NJ with SmartJack support beams.

Due to the high water table of this Union County crawl space, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the crawl space. Traditionally, WaterGuard is used in basements, but due to the unique circumstances surrounding this crawl space, it was the perfect fit. Water was coming into the crawl space through the floor joints. WaterGuard will drain the water to sump pump that was also installed. The TripleSafe sump pump will pump the water out of the crawl space and away from the home. This crawl space has not flooded since the repair was done!

This Summit, NJ, homeowner was increasingly concerned about the rising moisture levels in their crawl space following a series of heavy rainfalls, which were causing dampness, mold growth, and musty odors throughout the home. After researching solutions, they contacted Quality 1st for a professional assessment and a long-term fix.

Our team recommended the installation of our specially patented Drainage Matting to redirect water away from the foundation, along with SilverGlo Insulation Panels to prevent condensation and maintain consistent temperatures. Finally, our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System was installed, creating a tight seal to prevent moisture from entering the crawl space and improving overall air quality.

With these advanced solutions in place, the crawl space was restored to a dry, healthy condition, giving the homeowner peace of mind knowing their home was protected from future moisture issues.

What is Crawl Space Encapsulation? Well, we encapsulated this Summit, NJ crawl space by covering every crawl space vent to prevent moisture and water from coming through. We put our Heat Barrier known as SilverGlo, on the walls to protect the heat from escaping the crawl space. Next, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier is installed on the floors and part of the walls to prevent water seepage and mold growth. By sealing the crawl space, you now have a dry, clean and healthy space. 

A Summit, NJ homeowner was interested in installing a moisture barrier in their crawl space, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for an estimate. We recommended our CleanSpace Moisture Vapor Barrier, since it seals the space from the outside elements by blocking the passing of humidity, moisture and water from passing through the foundation walls and dirt floor.
