Damp Crawl Space Repair in Iselin, NJ
Challenge
This homeowner in Iselin, New Jersey noticed a musty smell coming from their crawl space. This can happen if a crawl space has dirt or soil in it. Dirt and soil hold a lot of moisture and this moisture can turn into water vapor that rises into the air. If this goes without repair, this can cause many issues for a home such as rotting wood, smelly carpets, increased energy bills, and even mold growth!
Solution
The homeowner decided to contact Quality 1st Basement Systems after finding us on the internet. Our customer care representative booked them an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Mike Fiorillo. Mike provided a thorough inspection and he suggested they seal the crawl space from the earth's elements. The homeowner agreed, and our crew arrived at the home to install our Drainage Matting and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. This is first done by removing dirt and debris and leveling uneven surfaces. Our drainage matting will catch any water that seeps in from the ground and drain it away. After this, we install CleanSpace, which is a mold-proof and waterproof durable liner. This system will prevent water vapor and humidity from passing through the barrier, keeping the crawl space dry and healthy all year round!
