Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Vapor Barrier Fixes Wet Passaic County Crawl Space

This Passaic County crawl space flooded after a large storm. Water soaked the entire crawl space and the homeowner knew they couldn't afford for it to happen again. Flooded crawl spaces can cause high humidity, musty odors, and rot the wooden supports. The best way to keep this crawl space safe in the future was a crawl space encapsulation system. Quality 1st Basement Systems repaired the crawl space with several waterproofing produts. The team installed CleanSpace vapor barrier on the crawl space floor and walls to help preserve it. CleanSpace vapor barrier lowers the humidity in the crawl space and prevents moisture from coming into the crawl space. It also creates a tough, puncture-resistant barrier that keeps out nasty pests like mice and insects, stopping them from making the crawl space their home. On the crawl space rim joists, the team installed a waterproof, graphite-infused insulation. The insulation will keep the crawl space much warmer in winter months and lower heating bills. Then, to keep water out of the crawl space the crew installed a sump pump. The sump pump will pump water out keeping the crawl space dry and safe from any future flooding.
