Photo Album: Flooded Crawl Space Waterproofed in Staten Island, NY
A homeowner in Staten Island, NY had a dirt crawl space that was badly flooded. The flooding ruined the fiberglass insulation, turning it into a haven for mold and mildew. The homeowner and his family were scared that the crawl space would flood again. After every rainstorm, he was nervous that he would wake up and find the entire crawl space covered in water, so he called Quality 1st Basement Systems to help him out.
Quality 1st Basemenet Systems removed the damaged fiberglass and installed waterproof crawl space insulation along the walls. SilverGlo crawl space insulation is made out of heavy-duty foam and graphite, and will save the homeowner money on their energy bills. Next, they installed CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal off the crawl space from the dirt floor. CleanSpace vapor barrier is a part of a crawl space encapsulation system, it keeps out moisture and pests. To keep the crawl space dry, they installed a SmartSump sump pump. The SmartSump sump pump is designed for crawl spaces, it pumps water out and keeps the area dry. The homeowner never had a sump pump in the crawl space before, and he loves the peace of mind that it gives him. Now with his waterproofing system he no longer worries about the crawl space flooding when it rains!
