Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation and New Crawl Space Door in Belford NJ

A homeowner in Belford, New Jersey saw an advertisement for Quality 1st Basement Systems on a church bulletin. Interested in crawl space encapsulation, she called for a free estimate. She explained to crawl space specialist Keith MacFarlane that her crawl space was wet, humid, had a damp smell, and that her fiberglass insulation was damaged from water. Keith MacFarlane suggested CleanSpace vapor barrier.  Dirt crawl spaces can attract critters, have high humidity, and flood during heavy rains. In order to best waterproof the crawl space, foreman Juan Garcia installed crawl space drainage matting. The crawl space drainage matting lays down directly on the crawl space floor and redirects water to a sump pump. Next, CleanSpace vapor barrier was laid over the drainage matting. CleanSpace vapor barrier is made out of tough plastic that will not rip or tear. It transforms dirt crawl spaces into bright, clean areas. The inorganic plastic keeps out water vapor, making the space dry and waterproof. It is mold resistant and will not gather mildew, prevents pests from coming in, and will not rot. CleanSpace also helps save on home energy bills by keeping the humidity and temperature down. The homeowner needed a new crawl space door, so Quality 1st Basement Systems installed an EverLast crawl space door. The EverLast crawl space door is immune to moisture damage. Wood doors can rot and crack when they get wet, and can pose a security threat to the home. But EverLast crawl space doors are made out of rugged PVC plastic that never needs to be painted. It looks great, keeps unwanted pests out, and is easily opened by the homeowner. Now this crawl space looks great, will keep water vapor out, and the homeowner will save on her energy bills!
