Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Entry Door and Encapsulation in Tennent, NJ

A homeowner in Tennent, NJ had a small, damp crawl space. She tried to ignore the crawl space since it was difficult to access, however there was a musty, moldy smell coming from it. The homeowner read online about crawl space encapsulation systems and was impressed at how it would keep her crawl sapce safe from outside pests, moisture, and wood rot. Curious, she gave Quality 1st Basement Systems a call for a free estimate. After meeting with a crawl space specialist she decided on the best products for her home. Quality 1st Basement Systems came out to the property and found the crawl space very hard to access. They installed a Turtl crawl space entry system so that if the homeowner wanted to use the encapsulated space for storage, she could easily enter and exit. The Turtl crawl space entry is waterproof and secure and will never rot or rust. Then, the installation team encapsulated the crawl space. CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed on the crawl space walls to keep out moisture and separate the crawl space from the damp dirt floor below. The homeowner emphasized that the damp air in the crawl space concerned her, so Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. The SaniDry is an energy efficient dehumidifier that removes moisture and mold spores from the air. The lowered humidity in her crawl space means that mold cannot grow, and it will stay safe and dry. Now this crawl sapce is easily accessible and has a vapor barrier that will keep it free of wood rot and mold.
