When your crawl space is not encapsulated and insulated, cold air finds its way into your home through the crawl space area. Once inside, that air will begin to cool down the heat traveling through the duct vents. This will delay the process of warming up your home causing the heat to work harder then its suppose to, raising your heating bill as the months go on.
Quality 1st was able to completely seal off this Montgomery crawl space using CleanSpace, SilveGlo, and TerraBlock so help keep the area dry and warm!
A homeowner in Skillman, New Jersey noticed water coming in through their crawl space walls. This can happen because of the poorly compacted soil around the foundation that gets saturated during heavy rainfall. This saturated soil creates hydrostatic pressure and pushes water through the walls. A wet crawl space can have many negative effects such as mold, dust mites, increased energy bills, and poor air quality. This air can travel into the upper levels of the home and affect the homeowner's health. Our foreman, Esau Aquino, installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System throughout the crawl space. This will ensure that no moisture will enter the crawl space and it will be kept dry. The vapor barrier system is durable and thick like a pool liner and is mold-proof and water-proof. Now, the homeowner's crawl space is healthy and protected from moisture and water.
Check out this crawlspace encapsulation our crew did in Hillsborough, NJ. This homeowner wanted to seal their crawl space to prevent damage during the humid months from moisture or mold and stop cold drafts from coming in during the winter months. Our System Design Specialist, Joe Mancini, suggested our CleanSpace Moisture Barrier would be the perfect solution to encapsulate the crawlspace and keep it healthy and dry. He also suggested SilverGlo Heat Barrier to reflect heat and recommended covering all crawl space vents. The installation was done by our foreman, Mario Barron, and crew. Since then, the crawlspace has been fully secure giving the homeowner a piece of mind.
A Hillsborough, NJ homeowner was interested in sealing their crawl space and creating a better environment down there as well., Quality 1st Basement Systems provided a thorough inspection and recommended the CleanSpace Moisture Barrier and SilverGlo Wall Panels as the best solution. CleanSpace prevents the crawl space from becoming damp and humid by blocking the passing of moisture and humidity through the exposed foundation wall and dirt floor. SilverGlo Wall Panels fully insulate the crawl space, and is a healthier option for insulation versus fiberglass insulation. Check out the transformation of this crawl space.
Air tight Vent Covers were installed to keep the unwanted humidity, cold drafts, water and unwanted pests out of the crawl space while providing a nice clean finished look to the outside landscape around the home.These covers will not rot or grow mold making them a great cover to have over the vents. Keeping humidity and winter air out of the crawl space will help keep cost low to heat up and cool down your home.
