Crawl Space Insulation in Sayreville, NJ
A homeowner in Sayreville, New Jersey noticed water getting into their crawl space. This can happen because the poorly compacted soil around the home's foundation becomes saturated during heavy rainfall. This saturated soil creates hydrostatic pressure which pushes water through the walls and floors. This can have many negative effects such as mold growth, musty smells, increased energy bills, and pests.
The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our foreman installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System which is thick like a pool liner and seals the crawl space from the earth. This system will prevent moisture and water from getting into the crawl space while giving it a bright and fresh appearance.
