This crawl space had moisture and high humidity which brought great concern to the homeowner. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CleanSpace and Drainage Matting, two products that work together to keep the crawl space clean and dry by directing any water leaks straight to the sump pump system. CleanSpace provides protection against water, dirt, pests, and water vapor while the Drainage Matting will prevent water from getting trapped underneath the durable liner.
Water seeping into the basement can cause unanticipated damage to belongings or the structure of the home as this customer found out. Joe Mancini, Basement Design Specialist, worked with the customer on a plan to resolve the issues. At the core of the plan was a dependable sump pump system, the TripleSafe, which includes a secondary pump and a battery backup along with a WaterWatch alarm designed to alert the customer if a pump fails. Mario Barron and his crew installed the products to help this customer achieve peace of mind.
A homeowner in Brown Mills, NJ contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to repair their sinking front porch. The concrete slabs were inspected by our System Design Specialist, Jonathan Seminerio. After measuring the height of the sunken porch, Jonathan provided a quote for the homeowner to lift, level and stabilize the porch area. Within the next few days, our foreman, Sean Johnson, and crew arrived to the home, and repaired the concrete porch using the Polylevel Injection Method.
This homeowner in Wharton, New Jersey noticed their crawl space was attracting moisture and musty smells. The reason moisture gets into the crawl space is because of the soil surrounding the foundation. This soil becomes saturated during periods of heavy rainfall and creates hydrostatic pressure, which pushes water and moisture through the walls. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Dane Cuccinello, provided an inspection and suggested they encapsulate the space. Our foreman, Mario Barron, installed the Drainage Matting to rest directly on the floor. This prevents water from damaging the crawl space floor. Then, Mario installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to lay over the drainage matting. This system is constructed of plastic layers designed to specifically protect the crawl space. CleanSpace is waterproof and resistant to mold, and it is secured in place with drilled fasteners and spikes.
Most people never enter their crawlspace, unless they come across a problem or musty smell. Here is a true transformation for this moisture filled crawlspace in Lake Hopatcong, NJ. With the installation of the CleanSpace CrawlSpace Encapsulation System it has stopped moisture from passing through the floors and porous concrete walls. Now there is enough storage space, and a reason to enter your crawlspace!
