Before & After Photos

Persistent water intrusion beneath a Bronx, NY home led to worsening conditions in the crawl space, leaving the homeowner worried about mold growth, poor air quality, and compromised structural integrity. As the issue progressed, support beams began to weaken, and signs of sagging floors became more noticeable. Concerned about the long-term effects on their home’s safety and value, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a lasting and professional solution.

Our team conducted a comprehensive inspection, identifying areas of moisture buildup and structural stress that required immediate attention.

To address both the water intrusion and structural instability, we implemented a customized solution starting with the installation of Drainage Matting, designed to guide groundwater to the appropriate drainage outlet and prevent standing water. Next, we reinforced the crawl space with our SmartJack Support System, providing adjustable steel piers to lift and stabilize sagging beams. To complete the encapsulation, we applied our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, which fully sealed the crawl space from outside moisture and helped prevent mold development.

The combination of these systems transformed the space into a clean, dry, and structurally sound area, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind and protecting their investment for years to come!

A homeowner in Bronx, New York was experiencing moisture and signs of mold in their dirt crawl space. In most cases, crawl spaces are exposed to soil and the earth. The soil lets moisture vapor into the air in the crawl space. Another issue could be from the saturated surrounding soil that pushes itself on the foundation walls to let moisture in. This can have negative effects such as mold, dust mites, and high energy bills.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Javier Romero, provided an inspection and suggested they encapsulate their crawl space. Our foreman, Esau Aquino, installed the Vapor Barrier System in the crawl space. This system keeps moisture and bugs out of the crawl space. The crawl space is now sealed off from the earth and the harsh elements.
