Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Sayreville, New Jersey noticed water getting into their crawl space. This can happen because the poorly compacted soil around the home's foundation becomes saturated during heavy rainfall. This saturated soil creates hydrostatic pressure which pushes water through the walls and floors. This can have many negative effects such as mold growth, musty smells, increased energy bills, and pests. 
The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our foreman installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System which is thick like a pool liner and seals the crawl space from the earth. This system will prevent moisture and water from getting into the crawl space while giving it a bright and fresh appearance. 

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. 

Are you tired of your crawl space causing issues for your home? Maybe its that nasty odor you are smelling on the first level?
