Before & After Photos

This Cedar Grove crawl space had standing water after every heavy rain. We encapsulated it with CleanSpace and installed SilverGlo insulation to keep it dry, clean, and protected year-round.

A homeowner in Cedar Grove, NJ noticed water seepage in their basement, so they contacted us for a solution. They knew if this went without repair, it could cause issues like rotting wood, pests, and mold growth. To keep water out of the basement, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will provide three levels of protection against water intrusion, and also has a backup battery to kick in if the power goes out. We also installed our WaterGuard French System to catch any water that seeps in through the walls and floors. Check out the transformation!

This Cedar Grove, NJ, homeowner was dealing with increased moisture levels in their crawl space, exacerbated by heavy rainfall that led to damp, musty conditions and the potential for mold growth. The excessive moisture was compromising the structural integrity of their home and creating an unhealthy environment, so the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a long-term solution.

Our team installed our specially patented Drainage Matting to facilitate proper water flow and prevent water accumulation, allowing for efficient moisture control. To further combat the dampness and enhance energy efficiency, we added our SilverGlo Insulation Panels, which provide superior thermal performance and prevent heat loss while also resisting moisture. Finally, we installed our mold-resistant CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, which created a seamless, waterproof barrier on the floors and walls, blocking moisture from entering the crawl space.

With these solutions in place, the homeowner’s crawl space was fully restored to a dry, stable, and healthy environment, free from excess moisture and mold risks!

In Cedar Grove, NJ, a homeowner faced the challenges of uneven floors and persistent dampness in their crawl space. To tackle the moisture problem, we employed our CleanSpace encapsulation system. Designed to keep the crawl space clean and dry, CleanSpace provided an effective moisture barrier, significantly outperforming typical liners on the market. This created a comprehensive seal, protecting the homeowner’s property from humidity, mold growth, and potential structural damage. Meanwhile, to address the uneven flooring, our production team installed the SmartJack System. These steel support piers stabilized and lifted the crawl space beams and floor joists, reducing the bounce and restoring the home's structural foundation. After carefully setting these supports, adjustments helped elevate the floors toward their original position. 

After noticing worsening water intrusion and musty odors in their basement, a homeowner in Cedar Grove, NJ realized their outdated sump pump was no longer up to the task. What started as minor dampness had turned into a recurring issue that threatened not only the comfort of their home but also its structural integrity. Concerned about potential mold growth and long-term damage, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st in search of a permanent, professional solution.

Following a thorough inspection, our team designed a customized waterproofing plan to address both the water intrusion and the aging system. We installed our WaterGuard Drainage System to capture groundwater along the perimeter and direct it efficiently to a newly installed TripleSafe Sump Pump, offering three layers of protection, even during power outages. To further safeguard the space and improve its appearance, we added CleanSpace Wall Panels, which resist moisture and help brighten the basement.

With these systems working together, the homeowner now enjoys a dry, healthy, and worry-free basement that’s fully protected for the future!
