Job Stories

In Grasonville, MD the crawl space needs help. The access well in the crawl space was not ideal and they wanted something more substantial than a piece of wood to cover the space. The homeowners contacted DryZone with their problem. Our DryZone team suggested that we install a dehumdifier, drainage mat, and an Everlast door. 

Grasonville, MD has a crawl space that needs a few repairs to complete the area under the home. As you can see from the pictures, there is water damage in the crawl space, which is causing mold to grow and a high amount of moisture in the air. DryZone was contacted by these homeowners to install products that would repair the crawl space. DryZone installed a water drainage mat, interior liner, Everlast door, and SmartSump pump.  The homeowners were pleased with the outcome of the crawl space. They finally had a dry and clean area under their home! 

The crawl space in Grasonville, MD has an old 6-millimeter liner on the ground of the crawl space with dirt and water covering it. The homeowners would like for this old liner to be removed and products installed to take away the mold smell and water in the crawl space.  DryZone took a look at the crawl space and suggested that our DryZone team removes the debris on the ground, installs a drainage mat, and interior liner. DryZone's liners are 20 millimeters on the ground and 11 millimeters on the walls.  The homeowners are happy with the encapsulation of their crawl space! 

Gravel floors in crawl spaces are great for drainage. However, water vapor from groundwater easily goes through the gravel and does little to regulate the humidity under your home. This homeowner knew they needed something to help drain water from the crawl space in rainy seasons, but failed to realize the humidity from groundwater lingers beyond rainy seasons. A result of this constant humidity was starting to show in how the crawl space started to smell. DryZone noticed, during the free inspection, how the humidity was starting to affect the floorboards and cause some signs of microbial growth. To help this homeowner, DryZone installed a vapor barrier to stop the water vapor from groundwater from entering the crawl space and feeding microbial growth. 

This homeowner was concerned about losing insulation in their home with winter approaching. In order to fix this for them, we had to ensure that the vents were the right height since the house is in a flood zone. We had to block 2 of the vents that were not the right height and install the flood vents around the house. 

Elin L from Gransonville, MD faced a frustrating problem with high humidity in her crawlspace and chilly floors during winter. With the cold season approaching, she sought a solution and contacted the experts at DryZone for a free inspection. During the inspection, our System Design Specialist, Derek, discovered dangling insulation and that the relative humidity exceeded 72%. Such elevated humidity levels can lead to structural damage and promote microbial growth. Derek explained to Elin L that crawlspace encapsulation would be an effective solution to her concerns.   This encapsulation process involves several key components: CleanSpace, SaniDry Sedona, and Mold-X. CleanSpace is a robust 20 mil-thick liner, like a pool liner, constructed from seven layers. It combines high-density polyethylene for puncture resistance, low-density polyethylene for flexibility, and polyester cord reinforcement to resist tearing. The bright white finish of CleanSpace enhances visibility in the crawlspace, allowing for easy detection of any microbial growth, insects, or dirt.   Now, Elin L can relish the comfort of warm floors throughout winter. DryZone is delighted to have resolved her crawlspace issues, ensuring her home remains protected for years to come.

Waterfront homes are prone to flooding more than other homes. When you are in an area that is prone to flooding like this Madison, MD home, hydrostatic pressure can be overwhelming for your home's foundation. To help release this hydrostatic pressure and protect your foundation in a flooding area, Flood Vents are an ideal addition to your home. SmartVents flood vents are designed to open when a flood is detected to release hydrostatic pressure and allow water to flow through your home instead of pushing against and possibly damaging your home.
