The crawl space door is not in great shape and the homeowners are excited about their new cover. What a beautiful difference the new cover made for these homeowners! This door cover is a great way to keep out the air, animals, bugs, and more! 

In Taylors Island, MD the crawl space is filled with leaves, debris, water, falling insulation, and mold. The homeowners contacted DryZone to remove the mess in their crawl space and encapsulate the area. DryZone came out for a free inspection and saw the problem. Right away our team knew the solution for these homeowners!  Take a look at the photo gallery to see how DryZone took care of the problem. 

The crawl space in Taylors Island, MD needs to be encapsulated right away! The homeowners are not happy with the water in their crawl space, which made them contact DryZone for a free no obligation inspection. The homeowners have seen DryZone's work before and were interested in the crawl space encapsulation. 

This homeowner called DryZone with a mission to clean and encapsulate her crawl space. For a few years, she had been using a portable water pump and pumping water out of the crawl space every time it rained. When a storm was in the forecast, she knew she would be stuck outside for hours the next day, making sure her crawl space was dry. She finally said enough is enough and knew there had to be a better way to keep her home dry. DryZone took a look at the crawl space and noticed not only were water stains on the brick foundation but standing water was in the center, far from where the homeowner could reach with her portable water pump. To help improve water drainage, DryZone installed a strong sump pump to pump out water as it came in. DryZone also sealed the crawl space vents to block out more incoming water. 

When a concrete slab cracks and sinks, this indicates a more serious structural issue. In addition to looking bad, a sinking slab can create an uneven surface that poses a safety hazard such as tripping and falling. The homeowners realized this issue was serious and they wanted DryZone to come out to their property and take a look. DryZone suggested PolyLevel foam and the homeowners were ecstatic about the idea. The concrete was lifted and the homeowners are happy with the out come! 

These homeowners had an issue with their front steps. They had fallen abut an inch and begun to pull away from their home. The homeowner had previously tried to caulk the steps, but this was little more than a quick fix on a permanent problem. Luckily, the true fix came into play with DryZone and their trained concrete professionals. PolyLevel was used to riase these steps back to their original position. Within just 20 minutes, the PolyLevel had achieved 90% of its strenght and durability. This means that this homeowner was ready for guests in time for dinner!

Having a home to get away to on weekends can be a great investment. However, some homes come with a list of needed repairs once you own them. This homeowner and his spouse purchased this getaway beach house and quickly noticed sagging floors and high moisture. Looking underneath of the home quickly exposed wet hanging insulation, absorbing groundwater up to the floorboards. After prolonged exposure to moisture, microbial growth started to feed on wood and insulation and spread across the crawl space. To protect the investment of their getaway home, this homeowner called the crawl space and foundation experts at DryZone to reduce moisture and stabilize the foundation.  For the foundation to be properly repaired, the crawl space had to be dried out and encapsulated to prevent high moisture in the future. After encapsulating with a 20 mm reinforced vapor barrier, a dehumidifier was installed to keep moisture regulated in changing weather. Once the environment was controlled, the foundation could be stabilized with SmartJacks to keep the sagging floors strong and eventually lift them to their original height. 

A homeowner in North East, MD, faced persistent water leaks into his crawlspace, leading to high humidity and unwanted microbial growth. Having seen DryZone's impressive work during their home search, they knew just who to contact for help. They reached out to the team at DryZone, where our System Design Specialist, Tom, conducted a free inspection and discovered that the crawlspace's relative humidity exceeded 65%.   To address these issues, we implemented a crawlspace encapsulation system featuring key components such as a SmartSump, UltraSump, SaniDry Sedona, CleanSpace, and Hydrolink. The SaniDry Sedona was particularly crucial, as it effectively maintains humidity levels below 55% in the crawlspace. With an impressive capacity of 100 pints per day, it circulates over 300 cubic feet of dry air every minute, ensuring a healthier environment.   Thanks to DryZone's solutions, this North East, MD homeowner can now rest easy knowing their crawlspace is safe and protected. We are thrilled to have assisted them in resolving their crawlspace issues for good!
