Photo Album: Time to Renovate this Dirty Crawl Space in Brielle, NJ

This old, dirty crawl space is getting a much needed makeover.

Quite Messy

From debris and moisture issues to high humidity levels, this crawl space needed help.

Step One

First, we removed all the debris, leveled the ground for proper draining, and removed the contaminated insulation.

The Dimpled Matting

Next, we installed a dimpled drainage matting.

What Does the Drainage Matting Do

This plastic mat allows all excess moisture to work its way over to the sump pump.

Now For SilverGlo™

Next, we installed SilverGlo™.

Exactly What is SilverGlo™

SilverGlo™ is a waterproof foam insulation that seals the walls from outside moisture and humidity to the walls of the crawl space.

Now for the Vapor Barrier

Afterward, we installed a vapor barrier. The vapor barrier is a 20-mil 7-ply sandwich of high and low-density polyethylene that is treated with an antimicrobial finish that protects against mold and mildew growth.

SaniDry Dehumidifier

Lastly, we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. These dehumidifiers are maintenance-free, turn on and off automatically with a built-in hygrometer, and there is no water tray to empty or overflow.
