DryZone, LLC Before & After Photos

Suzanne was concerned about the humidity she was feeling inside her home. After doing some research online, she contacted the trusted experts at DryZone to schedule a free inspection. Our System Design Specialist, Nick, completed a thorough inspection of the crawl space and sat down with Suzanne to go over what he found.

One of the biggest concerns was the humidity level in the crawl space, which was over 66%—well above the recommended 55% benchmark. What a lot of homeowners don’t realize is that even though the crawl space is underneath the home, it’s not completely separate from the living space. Humidity and musty odors from below can make their way upstairs and contribute to that damp, uncomfortable feeling inside the home.

For Suzanne’s crawl space, we installed CleanSpace, DrainageMatting, and a SaniDry Sedona. The first step was using CleanSpace to separate the home from the earth and help keep ground moisture from entering the crawl space.

From there, the SaniDry Sedona will help keep the humidity at a manageable level, closer to that 55% benchmark. By getting the moisture under control at the source, Suzanne should notice less of that damp feeling and fewer musty odors throughout her home.

What a lot of homeowners don’t realize is that the crawl space isn’t completely separate from the rest of the home. Humidity and musty odors from below can make their way upstairs, contributing to that damp, uncomfortable feeling Suzanne had been noticing.

For Suzanne’s crawl space, our crew installed CleanSpace, DrainageMatting, and a SaniDry Sedona. CleanSpace was installed to separate the home from the earth and help prevent ground moisture from entering the crawl space, while DrainageMatting provides an added layer beneath the CleanSpace system.

To help keep the humidity at a manageable level, we also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. By addressing the moisture at the source, Suzanne now has a cleaner, drier crawl space and a long-lasting solution to help keep humidity under control throughout her home.

Suzanne had been noticing that her home felt damp and humid, and she wanted to figure out where the excess moisture was coming from. After researching possible causes, she contacted the trusted experts at DryZone to schedule a free inspection. Our System Design Specialist, Nick, inspected the crawl space and found humidity levels over 66%, much higher than the recommended 55% benchmark.

High humidity in a crawl space doesn’t always stay below the home. Moisture and musty odors can travel into the living space above, which can leave the home feeling damp and uncomfortable. With the humidity already elevated, Suzanne wanted a solution that would address the problem at the source.

Our crew installed CleanSpace and DrainageMatting to separate the crawl space from the earth and help prevent ground moisture from entering the space. The CleanSpace system completely transformed the crawl space, taking it from an exposed area beneath the home to a clean, bright, and sealed environment.

A SaniDry Sedona was also installed to help control the moisture in the air and maintain a healthier humidity level. With her crawl space now encapsulated and the humidity being controlled, Suzanne can feel confident knowing the source of the moisture has been addressed with a long-lasting solution.

Why is moisture a problem for your crawl space? The answer is simple, moisture creates mold. If mold is growing on the wood in the crawl space, you have a problem. If it's a white mold, it's usually a surface mold, but this is a sign that humidity levels are extremely high in the crawl space. 

If there is black or brown mold in your crawl space, structural damage is occurring, which means contacting DryZone is an immediate action! DryZone will take care of the mold issue and encapsulate the crawl space and all the problems with the crawl space will be gone. 

The crawl space encapsulation is important for homeowners to have installed because it keeps the crawl space dry, which ultimately prevents mold and wood rot.
