Challenge

Having a damp and dirty crawl space is not suitable for you, or the health of your home. This homeowner in Shamong, New Jersey noticed their crawl space was becoming damp and smelly. This can happen when the crawl space is exposed to the earth's elements. Dirt and soil can hold a lot of moisture, which will eventually turn into water vapor that rises into the air. A damp crawl space can have many negative effects such as increased energy bills, aggravated allergies, rotting wood, and even mold growth!

Solution

The homeowner did not want this issue to go without a solution, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after finding us online. Our customer care representative booked them an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Joe Mancini. Joe provided a thorough inspection and suggested they encapsulate the space to separate it from the earth's elements. A few days later, our foreman and crew arrived and began installing our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. CleanSpace is a thick and durable liner that is mold-proof and waterproof. This system will block moisture and humidity from entering the crawl space, keeping it dry and healthy! When the job was complete, the homeowner was happy to see their crawl space was transformed into a new space!
