Job Stories From Highland Lakes, NJ
Encapsulation Solution In Highland Lakes, NJ Crawl Space

Signs of water intrusion in a Highland Lakes, NJ crawl space prompted a homeowner to take action before the problem could escalate. Increasingly damp and uncomfortable conditions had begun to affect the space, raising serious concerns about potential mold growth and long-term structural damage. Understanding the importance of a lasting solution, the homeowner reached out to the experts at Quality 1st to address the issue with a comprehensive, professional approach.

Our team began with a thorough inspection of the crawl space, identifying the sources of water seepage and assessing the overall condition of the foundation and surrounding areas. Based on these findings, we developed a customized waterproofing plan designed to target each risk factor. Central to this plan was our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, which efficiently captures and redirects groundwater away from the crawl space to prevent future intrusion. We also installed Drainage Matting beneath the floor to promote proper water flow and SilverGlo Insulation Panels along the walls to improve energy efficiency while providing additional moisture resistance.

To create a completely sealed environment, we implemented our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, which blocks moisture from rising through the soil and walls, protecting the crawl space from dampness and mold. Complementing this system, we installed our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to regulate humidity levels and maintain a consistently dry space, along with our IceGuard Discharge Line to ensure water is safely expelled from the property even during freezing conditions. Each component works together to provide a dynamic, high-performance waterproofing solution.

With the project complete, the crawl space was transformed into a dry, healthy, and fully protected environment. The homeowner now enjoys peace of mind knowing that future water intrusion, mold growth, and structural risks have been effectively mitigated!

Encapsulation Solution In Highland Lakes, NJ Crawl Space - Photo 1
Crawl Space Sealed in Highland Lakes, NJ

A homeowner in Highland Lakes, New Jersey regarded a musty odor coming from their crawl space, as well as being concerned about moisture and humidity. This can happen if the crawl space is dirt and if it is exposed to the earth's elements. The moisture from the soil rises up into the crawl space air. This can have many negative effects such as smelly carpets, increased energy bills, pests, and even mold growth.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Dylan McDonald, was able to provide a professional inspection and help them find a solution to fix this issue. Upon his inspection, Dylan noticed how the crawl space was damp and knew it could lead to more issues. Dylan suggested they encapsulate the crawl space to seal it from the earth's elements.

Our foreman, Luis Aguirre, arrived on the job site and began the process of installing the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. This process is done by removing any debris and dirt from the crawl space, leveling uneven surfaces, carefully fitting the CleanSpace liner to the crawl space, and holding it in place with drilled-in fasteners and spikes. The CleanSpace liner is thick and durable like a pool liner and effectively keeps moisture and humidity out of the crawl space.

When the job was complete, the homeowner was pleased with the outcome and the professionalism they observed on the job. They were able to have a usable space for storage while having a dry and protected crawl space.
