This home in Bear, DE has a crawl space that the homeowner had been struggling with flooding and mold. The homeowners had the space cleaned but unfortunately, the insulation was never removed and the smell associated with the insulation was getting inside the home. The homeowners were desperate and called the experts at DryZone.   The DryZone team arrived at the home and went straight to work to improve the space. Insulation and any present debris were removed and then the TripleSafe sump system was installed along with a full perimeter drainage system. The DryZone team also fully encapsulated the crawl space and installed a SaniDry Sedona, which immediately improved the smell. The homeowners were so pleased and excited to show off their new and improved crawl space all thanks to the pure dedication of the DryZone experts. Helpful tip: Using Downspout extensions helps ensure that any water that is pumped out, is far enough from the home to not re-enter the space.

Over the years, this homeowner had noticed a horizontal crack in their basement walls. It had been something they noticed and turned into something they ignored. Once they put the house on the market, an inspector informed this homeowner the crack could cause the wall to bow inward. After speaking with a DryZone design specialist, it was explained the crack had already caused doors to stick and windows to become almost impossible to open. Because the crack had started causing structural damage to the home, they knew they needed to repair it as soon as possible. DryZone installed a carbon armor wall reinforcement system to stabilize the foundation and prevent further bowing in the future. 

The crawl space in Federalsburg, MD was experiencing problems with water. The homeowners were concerned with the condition of their home and they did not know how they could keep the water out for good. DryZone had the perfect solution. The homeowners needed DryZone to encapsulate the crawl space with a sump pump, water drainage mat, and interior liner, which is exactly what DryZone did. Now the homeowners are worry free and they have DryZone come out to their home every year to check on the crawl space! They don't even need to go down there. Now that is what our homeowners truly love. 

Black mold is a serious issue, especially when the smell extends throughout your home. DryZone told the homeowners that they had the perfect solution for this troubling area in their home. A crawl space encapsulation is the best way to solve issues in a crawl space.  Now the homeowners do not have to deal with the moldy smell or worry about their health. 

The crawl space in Federalsburg, MD has major problems. The insulation is falling onto the ground of the crawl space and the water is starting to become a serious issue, which is creating a damp and dirty area. The homeowners are not sure what to do and that is when they called DryZone for a solution. The best solution for this problem is a crawl space encapsulation, which is what the homeowners chose and now their problems with water and debris is gone for good. 

There are multiple signs of foundation failure. For this homeowner, the biggest sign was cracks in the drywall of their home! The corners of door frames revealed hairline cracks leading to the ceiling. Over time, the cracks started to grow! After noticing this sign, the homeowners started realizing other signs in the home that pointed to foundation failure, such as sagging floors in the living room. The homeowner decided to investigate the crawl space to see where the problem originated. After taking a look, it was discovered that some floor joists were curved and soft to the touch. They knew they needed a foundation repair expert who could also waterproof the crawl space to prevent further moisture damage to the home. DryZone encapsulated the crawl space before adding floor supports underneath the living room. 

Sometimes a home is built on low ground. When this happens, rainwater runs down and collects around the foundation and causes puddles in the crawl space. For this home, there was a significant drop in the yard around the home and standing water always covered the yard. After working on a better drainage system around the outside of their home, they called DryZone to help with the crawl space. DryZone added a drainage system in the crawl space and a strong sump pump to pump that water out of the home. With a 20 mil thick CleanSpace vapor barrier, the home is protected from water damage!

A homeowner from Federalsburg, MD reached out to the team at DryZone for a complimentary inspection with the goal of safeguarding their family home. Our System Design Specialist, Joseph, conducted an in-depth assessment and uncovered signs of elevated humidity that were leading to microbial growth and unpleasant odors entering the home from the crawlspace.    To address these issues, we implemented key components for the crawlspace encapsulation, which included CleanSpace, HydroLink, TripleSafe, and the SaniDry Sedona. The SaniDry Sedona is particularly impressive, as it helps maintain humidity levels at or below 55%, boasting a remarkable capacity of 100 pints per day and circulating over 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute throughout the basement or crawlspace.   Now, this Federalsburg homeowner can breathe easier, knowing their home is protected and that the health of their crawlspace is no longer a concern. The DryZone team is thrilled to have played a role in resolving the homeowner's crawlspace issues.

What a nasty crawl space this was! Mold and water damage was not the only problem! DryZone found the foundation rotting, which is extremely unsafe for the family that lives here!  Now the crawl space is in perfect shape and the homeowners feel safe in their own home. 

The TripleSafe Sump Pump has been installed to the basement to keep the water out! This is one of the best solutions to waterproof your basement because this pump has three valves that work to keep the water out.  These homeowners are pleased with the solution DryZone gave them to fix their water problem.
