Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Messy, Wet Crawl Space Encapsulated in Toms River, NJ

After Hurricane Sandy this Toms River, NJ crawl space flooded and turned it into a mucky, muddy mess. Years after, the crawl space was still getting water in it after rains and the damp humid air was rising up to the rest of the house. She called Quality 1st Basement Systems and asked about available solutions to her problem. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a crawl space encapsulation system in order to keep this crawl safe healthy and dry. First, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed drainage matting on the crawl space floor to keep dampness from coming through the dirt. Since the crawl space had no insulation, the crew installed inorganic crawl space insulation. Inorganic insulation will not soak up moisture and will not get destroyed in case of a flood. Better yet, it will lower the home's heating bills and warm up the floor above the crawl space. To prevent moisture from coming in through the concrete walls, the installation team added CleanSpace vapor barrier on the crawl space walls. CleanSpace is made out of durable plastic, similar to a heavy-duty pool liner. It keeps out moisture and cold air, protecting the crawl space and lowering its humidity levels. Now this crawl space is safe, moisture-free and looking great! The homeowner is relieved and no longer has to keep an eye on the weather forecast for fear of floods.
