Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Humid Crawl Space Encapsulated in Rochelle Park, NJ
A new homeowner in Rochelle Park, NJ was concerned about the humidity and moisture in her new crawl space. The floor was often damp and the crawl space was not properly insulated. The rest of the new home was beautiful and perfect, so the homeowner wanted to be sure that the crawl space was just as good and healthy. She gave Quality 1st Basement Systems a call to protect her new home and keep it the house of her dreams.
The first step to making this musty crawl space healthy was insulation. The installation crew laid down foam crawl space insulation on the floor to keep out drafts and cold air. Crawl space insulation will help save the homeowner money on her energy bills, giving her a few extra bucks to spend on decorating her new home. Then, Quality 1st Basement Systems encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace vapor barrier. The vapor barrier is a multi-layered, durable, plastic sheet that prevents water from coming into the crawl space. CleanSpace vapor barrier helps lower the humidity in the crawl space, bringing it down to a healthy level. Lowered humidity means that mold will never grow in the crawl space, since mold needs moisture to grow. Now this crawl space is dry and much healthier! The homeowner is thankful that she called for a crawl space encapsulation system.
