Before & After Photos

Rising moisture levels had begun to threaten this homeowner’s crawl space in Teaneck, NJ, as repeated heavy rainfall left walls and floors increasingly saturated. Concerned about potential structural damage and the long-term effects of ongoing water intrusion, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a professional solution to protect their home and restore a dry, safe environment.

After a thorough inspection, our team developed a fully customized waterproofing plan tailored to the space’s specific needs. This included the installation of our patented Drainage Matting to channel water away from vulnerable areas, SilverGlo Insulation Panels to guard against dampness while improving energy efficiency, and our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to create a durable, moisture-resistant layer across the crawl space floor. Together, these systems eliminated ongoing water concerns, protected the structural integrity of the home, and transformed the crawl space into a clean, dry, and healthy environment the homeowner can confidently rely on!

A homeowner living in Shrewsbury, NJ had a nasty crawl space where they were experiencing high moisture and a musty odor. They contacted their local experts, Quality 1st Basements for a free estimate and a solution to their concerns. Our Senior System Design Specialist, Ken Peare, did a full inspection of the crawl space and noticed water marks along the walls and floor. The crawl space vents were not sealed completely shut allowing humidity inside and there was signs of pests and critters as well. 

Quality 1st Basements recommended a full encapsulation system. Foreman Juan Garcia and his team installed a heat barrier known as SilverGlo on the walls of the crawl space for the cold winter months. Over the SilverGlo, our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier is installed to prevent water vapor and humidity from coming through the foundation walls into the crawl space area. By encapsulating the crawl space, the area is completely sealed off from the harmful outside environment.  The homeowner was amazed at their crawl space transformation and can't wait to use this space for additional storage. 

Quality 1st Basements was able to provide a permanent solution to the water concerns this homeowner in Shrewsbury, NJ was experiencing. Not only did the homeowner have peace of mind again that the crawl space was protected against water and mold but also relieved that they no longer had to constantly check it after every rain storm.

A homeowner in Shrewsbury, New Jersey noticed water and moisture seeping through their crawl space walls and floors. Water can get into the basement because of the poorly compacted soil around the home's foundation. Over time, this soil becomes saturated during periods of heavy rainfall and creates hydrostatic pressure, which lets the water seep into the walls. Another reason moisture gets into the crawl space is from the dirt in the crawl space. This crawl space is not sealed from the earth, meaning the elements can easily enter the crawl space.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Jack Huber, was able to provide an inspection. Jack suggested they encapsulate the crawl space to keep it dry and sealed from the earth. Our foreman, Mario Barron, installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System throughout the crawl space to seal it from the earth. Installing the vapor barrier system is a quick process and attaches to the walls with plastic pegs, giving the crawl space a bright and fresh appearance. Now, the crawl space will prevent moisture from getting in from the outside elements.
