Moisture in a Livingston, NJ crawl space was quietly putting a home’s foundation and support beams at risk. The homeowner had noticed signs of distress and early decay, raising concerns about structural settlement and long-term safety. Realizing the severity of the issue, they contacted Quality 1st to implement a professional, lasting solution that would address both water intrusion and compromised structural integrity.
Our team conducted a thorough inspection to identify the exact source of the moisture and evaluate the condition of the crawl space. Based on our findings, we developed a customized repair plan that included the installation of our patented SilverGlo Insulation Panels. These panels not only provide a moisture-resistant barrier to prevent condensation and dampness but also help regulate temperature and improve overall crawl space conditions. To directly reinforce the home’s compromised support beams, we installed our ultra-stabilizing SmartJack Support System. This advanced system restores structural stability, prevents further settling, and works in tandem with the SilverGlo panels to protect the crawl space from ongoing moisture issues.
Together, these solutions transformed the space into a fully reinforced, dry, and healthy environment, giving the homeowner peace of mind and long-term protection for their home!
