Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Saving Money with Crawl Space Encapsulation in Dayton, NJ

A homeowner in Dayton, NJ was tired of her wet, nasty, dirt crawl space. After it rained, the crawl space got damp, standing water made the humidity high and the air smelled musty. Worried that the constant dampness would attract mold, she called Quality 1st Basement Systems to answer some questions about how to keep her three foot high crawl space dry. Crawl space specialist Maurice Robinson suggested CleanSpace vapor barrier. Crawl space encapsulation is the perfect solution to fixing dirt, ventilated crawl spaces. CleanSpace is installed on the walls along the entire perimeter of the crawl space, keeping water vapor out. The plastic encapsulation system keeps pests out of the crawl space, ensuring that no rats or insects will ever take up home under the house. Mold grows in wet, humid areas, but CleanSpace helps keep the crawl space dry and mold free. The homeowner complained about high heating bills, so Quality 1st Basement Systems installed SilverGlo crawl space insulation. SilverGlo is waterproof, unlike fiberglass. SilverGlo is economical, will not suck up water or grow mold, and saves money on heating bills ever year. Fiberglass insulates the ceiling and can become damaged and fall down onto the crawl space floor, becoming a haven for nasty things like rodents and mold. Instead, SilverGlo is installed onto the wall, where it keeps the cold air out, reflects warm air and hot water pipes will not lose heat! In order to pump water out of the crawl space, a new SmartSump crawl space sump pump was installed. SmartSump has an alarm system, an airtight lid, and a high capacity engine. It is capable of pumping 11,000 gallons of water per hour out of the crawl space! Now this crawl space does not get wet and is properly insulated. The homeowner is seeing green with her eco-friendly crawl space and all the extra money she is saving!
