Before & After Photos

This Summit, NJ, homeowner was increasingly concerned about the rising moisture levels in their crawl space following a series of heavy rainfalls, which were causing dampness, mold growth, and musty odors throughout the home. After researching solutions, they contacted Quality 1st for a professional assessment and a long-term fix.

Our team recommended the installation of our specially patented Drainage Matting to redirect water away from the foundation, along with SilverGlo Insulation Panels to prevent condensation and maintain consistent temperatures. Finally, our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System was installed, creating a tight seal to prevent moisture from entering the crawl space and improving overall air quality.

With these advanced solutions in place, the crawl space was restored to a dry, healthy condition, giving the homeowner peace of mind knowing their home was protected from future moisture issues.

In Summit, NJ, a homeowner had been dealing with persistent wet basement conditions, especially during heavy rainfall, which led to water seeping through the walls and flooding the floors. With the constant threat of water damage and a growing sense of frustration, they reached out to Quality 1st for a solution.

Our expert team quickly assessed the situation and recommended our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to efficiently collect and direct water away from the foundation, paired with our mold-resistant CleanSpace Wall Panels to create a vapor-proof barrier. The installation process was seamless, with the WaterGuard system installed around the perimeter of the basement and the CleanSpace panels applied to the walls, sealing out moisture.

Our Q1 Team did a full encapsulation in this damp crawl space! Jonathan and his crew installed SilverGlo on the walls. SilverGlo is a heat barrier that helps keep the heat contained. Next our Vapor Barrier Liner, CleanSpace, is installed over the Silverglo, on the walls and floor. CleanSpace will protect the crawl space against water seepage and mold, keeping the area clean and healthy. 

Recognizing the growing impact of persistent water seepage in their Scotch Plains, NJ crawl space, a homeowner became increasingly concerned as moisture began forming puddles and creating damp spots along the walls. These conditions not only threatened the structural well-being of the home but also increased the potential for mold growth, wood rot, and poor indoor air quality. Seeking a long-term and dependable solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for professional assistance.

Our team performed a thorough inspection, tracing the moisture issues back to inadequate drainage and identifying the key areas where water intrusion was most severe.

To effectively resolve the problem and protect the crawl space from future damage, we designed a specialized waterproofing system tailored to the home’s unique needs. This dynamic plan incorporated our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to redirect water away from the foundation, our SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump to reliably discharge collected water, CleanSpace Wall Panels to create a moisture-resistant barrier, and our high-performance SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to maintain proper humidity levels.

Working together, these solutions transformed the crawl space into a dry, healthy, and stable environment, providing the homeowner with long-lasting peace of mind and improved home protection!

As the weather gets warmer, you will face rising humidity levels in your crawl space which causes mold growth and wood rot.  This creates an unhealthy living space for your family and also compromises your crawl space insulation and floor joints.  By encapsulating this crawl space, we were able to control the humidity levels and greatly improve the foundation, air quality, and your home's energy efficiency.  Now this homeowner can also use his crawl space for storage.
