Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Waterproofed in Sewaren, NJ

A business property in Sewaren, New Jersey had a crawl space with a large amount of moisture. There was a musty smell in the crawl space that was affecting the rest of the property and some of the crawl space beams were sagging. Tired of the wet crawl space and unpleasant smell, the property owner called Quality 1st Basement Systems and set up an appointment for a free estimate on waterproofing products. A waterproofing specialist came out to the property and suggested a crawl space encapsulation system. Crawl space encapsulation involves several waterproofing products that all work together to keep the crawl space dry and safe. A WaterGuard drainage system was installed along the perimeter of the crawl space. WaterGuard collects water and drains it to a sump pump. Quality 1st Basement Systems replaced the old sump pump with a durable, new SmartSump sump pump. Every sump pump installed by Quality 1st Basement Systems has an airtight lid to keep out smelly odors and dirt. The high powered engine will keep the sump pump pumping out water safely away from the crawl space. In order to keep the humidity low, CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed. CleanSpace is inorganic, it is made out of tough plastic similar to a pool liner. Guarenteed not to tear, CleanSpace creates a barrier between the crawl space and the dirt floor, keeping water vapor and pests out. In order to keep the crawl space smelling fresh, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed. The SaniDry filters the air, improving air quality and reducing the humidity. To fix the sagging crawl space beam, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a SmartJack system. SmartJacks support crawl space beams with a triple layer of galvanized steel. Now the crawl space beams are moved back into place and will no longer sag. The property owner is pleased with the crawl space. The odor is gone, it is no longer wet, and now the beams are safe.
