Crawl Space Transformation with Moisture Control and Structural Support in Manchester, NJ

Challenge

This homeowner from Manchester, NJ had been struggling with a damp, musty crawl space that was beginning to affect both the air quality and comfort inside their home. Even more concerning, the floors above the crawl space had started to sag, signaling structural issues that could no longer be ignored. Determined to address both problems at once, the homeowner sought a comprehensive solution that would restore stability and create a healthier environment.

Solution

The transformation began with the installation of CleanSpace, a durable vapor barrier designed to seal the crawl space from ground moisture. This instantly brightened the area and prevented damp air from entering the home. To further control moisture and stop mold growth, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was added, providing continuous, efficient humidity management. With the moisture problem under control, attention shifted to the structural concerns. SmartJacks were installed to lift and stabilize the sagging floor joists, restoring proper support and preventing future settling.

Once the project was complete, the crawl space was cleaner, drier, and far more stable. The homeowner noticed immediate improvements in indoor comfort and gained confidence knowing the home was protected from both moisture damage and structural decline. This comprehensive approach not only resolved the existing issues but also provided long-term peace of mind.
