Crawl Space Repair in Beach Haven, NJ

Challenge

The homeowner in Beach Haven, NJ, had been noticing a musty odor in their home and uneven temperatures between floors. Upon inspection, the source became clear: their crawl space was in poor condition. The insulation between the joists was sagging and falling down, a classic sign that moisture had infiltrated the space. The dirt floor was exposed, allowing ground moisture to rise and condense on cooler surfaces. This damp environment wasn’t just uncomfortable; it was putting the structural integrity of the home at risk and inviting the potential for mold growth, wood rot, and higher energy bills.

The homeowners wanted a lasting solution that would not only address the moisture but also improve the overall energy efficiency of their home.

Solution

Our team began by removing the failing insulation and clearing the space for a proper installation. The first step in the repair process was installing CleanSpace, a heavy-duty vapor barrier designed to completely encapsulate the crawl space. This durable liner seals out moisture from the ground, creating a bright, clean surface that instantly improved the look and feel of the space. Next, we installed SilverGlo insulation panels along the crawl space walls. SilverGlo not only insulates the space but also features a reflective surface to help redirect heat back into the home, further boosting energy efficiency.

Finally, we added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to regulate humidity levels year-round. This powerful, energy-efficient unit keeps the crawl space dry, prevents mold growth, and protects the home’s structure from moisture-related damage.

By the end of the project, the crawl space was unrecognizable! From a damp, uninviting area to a clean, sealed, and well-protected part of the home. The homeowner can now enjoy better air quality, improved comfort, and peace of mind knowing their crawl space is protected for the long term.
