Eliminating Foundation Settlement In Budd Lake, NJ Crawl Space
Challenge
Concern over damp conditions in their crawl space led a Budd Lake, NJ homeowner to take action after noticing signs of structural deterioration. The musty smell, visible water intrusion, and softening of wood beams indicated a deeper issue that could eventually compromise the foundation. As the moisture levels continued to rise, so did the homeowner's concern about long-term damage and costly repairs. Recognizing the urgency, they reached out to Quality 1st for a thorough inspection and expert solution.
Solution
After evaluating the crawl space, our team identified the root causes of the water seepage and structural weakening. To tackle the moisture, we installed our patented Drainage Matting to direct water flow efficiently, along with our StarPipe Drainage System to capture and carry away excess groundwater. SilverGlo Insulation Panels were added along the crawl space walls to help control temperature and reduce energy loss, making the home more efficient while protecting it from damp, outside air. To ensure long-term structural support, we installed our SmartJack Support System, which was carefully positioned to lift and stabilize the sagging floor beams. The entire space was then encapsulated with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, sealing off the area from ground moisture and reducing humidity. This multi-layered solution not only addressed the immediate water and structural issues but also provided the homeowner with a healthier, more energy-efficient living environment, bringing peace of mind and long-lasting protection to their home.
