What began as minor dampness quickly escalated into a serious concern for a homeowner in Succasunna, NJ, as their basement transformed into a cold, damp, and unusable space. Frustrated by the persistent moisture and its impact on the home's comfort and value, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st in search of a permanent waterproofing solution. After a comprehensive inspection, our team identified the exact source of the water intrusion and designed a custom plan tailored to the home’s specific needs.
To address the issue, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, which discreetly collects water from the perimeter of the basement and directs it to the sump system before it can cause damage. We paired this with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, offering triple the protection through a powerful primary pump, a backup pump for heavy water volumes, and a battery-powered unit to keep the system running during outages. This strategic combination not only eliminated the ongoing moisture problem but also restored the homeowner's confidence in their basement, providing a dry, healthy environment and lasting peace of mind.
Recently in Wildwood, NJ, we encountered a homeowner frustrated by the high humidity levels in their crawl space, affecting not just the space itself but extending discomfort into the home. Confirming high moisture and humidity levels in the crawl space, our specialist recommended a tailored solution: the installation of CleanSpace, SilverGlo, and a SaniDry Sedona unit. CleanSpace, designed to encapsulate the crawl space, prevents moisture from seeping up from the earth, thus creating a dry and clean space. SilverGlo insulation panels were then installed on the walls, reflecting heat back into the crawl space, maintaining a warmer floor above during colder months and enhancing overall energy efficiency.
A homeowner in Wildwood, NJ faced persistent problems stemmed from their crawl space. This area was prone to constant moisture buildup and humidity, resulting in mold growth and unpleasant odors seeping into the living spaces above. First, we installed the CleanSpace encapsulation system, laying an ultra-moisture-resistant barrier evincing future mold and mildew development by securely sealing the damp environment. Next, to combat the elevated humidity and odorous air, we fitted a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and filtration system. The Sedona thrives even in the most moisture-heavy spaces, effectively maintaining low humidity and continuously circulating crisp, clean air-sans disturbing smells spewing upwards into the main living quarters. Finally, for augmenting the instability experienced due to subfloor support shortcomings, SmartJack galvanized steel supports accurately aligned weakened beams to regaining their functionality, ultimately sustaining overall integrity.
In Wildwood, NJ, a concerned homeowner reached out to us at Quality 1st when they noticed concerning energy bills and a musty smell that had begun to permeate their home. Firstly, we deployed our CleanSpace system, known for its durable, mold-resistant properties. By encapsulating the area with our heavy-duty liner, we blocked moisture penetration and protected against mold. For insulation, SilverGlo was used along the crawl space walls. These panels added a radiant barrier and an R-11 insulation value, keeping the inside drier and temperature-controlled. Finally, to combat humidity, our team placed the SaniDry Sedona. This efficient dehumidifier keeps moisture levels below harmful limits, significantly reducing allergens like mold and preserving air quality indoors.
Recently, we had the opportunity to assist a homeowner in Wildwood, NJ, who was facing a troublesome water issue in the crawl space of their vacation home. We recommended and later installed our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. This system is specifically designed to transform moist and unsettled crawl spaces into dry, stable environments. Incorporating a 20-mil liner made of high and low-density polyethylene, reinforced with polyester-cord, this liner resists mildew and mold growth, providing a firm barrier against moisture intrusion.
