Do you have a wet or musty smelling crawlspace?

Scaldino Basement Solutions are experts at crawl space encapsulation and crawl space waterproofing. We’ve installed countless crawl space waterproofing systems over the years. Let us crawl down there and take a look, and we’ll recommend the solution we think is right for your crawl space and a FREE ESTIMATE. Every crawl space is different and solutions vary accordingly.

We offer a two-pronged attack against crawl space moisture. The key is to control the humidity level and direct any water that enters out of this key area of your house. The most common solution is a sump pump install, a dehumidifier and a CrawlShield™ vapor barrier.

The sump pump will kick into action when water accumulates in your crawl space, directing the water away and expelling it a safe distance from your home’s foundation. With a crawl space dehumidification system, you can control the level of humidity in your crawl space and prevent mold growth and rotting building materials.

The CrawlShield™ Vapor Barrier is another essential part of your crawl space encapsulation system. It prevents moisture and radon from entering in the first place, cutting down greatly on the risks these threats pose to the health of your family and structural integrity of your home.

Why We Use CrawlShield Vapor Barriers

• It effectively stops moisture and soil gas such as radon from entering the home.
• It greatly cuts down on condensation, mold growth and poor indoor air quality.
• Because Crawl　Shield is so effective at cutting down moisture, you can use your crawl space for storage.
• The Crawl　Shield gives the crawl space a bright and clean look.
• It takes only about one day for a professional to install a Crawl　Shield vapor barrier.

At Scaldino Basement Solutions, we believe CrawlShield™ is the absolute best vapor barrier for crawl space encapsulation systems on the market, and we’ve seen them all. We serve Union, Middlesex, Monmouth, Essex, Morris, Somerset, Bergen, Passaic and many other counties in NJ as well as Richmond County Staten Island NY. Call us today!

Crawl Space Problems and Their Solutions

• Crawl Space Drainage System - If there are issues with standing water, we begin by installing a drainage system installed prior to the encapsulation process. We then run this drainage system into our GrateSump™ liner, and install a sump pump to remove the water from the crawl space.
• DimpleShield™ Drainage Matting - A dimpled plastic material used on high footings or concrete floor to assist with crawl space drainage issues.
• Crawl Space Vent Covers - Most crawl spaces have been vented due to antiquated building codes. We now know that venting a crawl space creates big problems and it's necessary to seal any vents or areas where outside air can get in. We have patented crawl space vent covers to repair this issue.
• CrawlShield™ Encapsulation System - To complete the process of sealing the crawl space, we install a patented crawl space encapsulation system to completely eliminate vapors and odors rising from the ground; creating a layer of protection between the dirt floor and your living space which also helps in lowering your home's heating bills while making the living space more comfortable.
• Crawl Space Dehumidification System - After the area is sealed, the moisture level will need to be controlled and brought down to a relative humidity below 50%, using our high-efficiency dehumidification systems.
