Insulation is falling, water is filling and mold is smelling. Why would anyone want to live with these problems in their crawl space? These homeowners in Marydel, DE definitely did not want to live with these problems any longer. The homeowners contacted DryZone to take a look at their home and see how we could fix their crawl space because they could not live with the problem any longer. DryZone showed them  the right solution for the homeowners, which included a TripleSafe sump pump, CleanSpace interior liner with matting, and a Sanidry air system/ dehumidifier. The problems with the insulation, water, and mold are completely gone and the homeowners do not have to worry about these problems occurring ever again. 

A crawlspace with fiberglass insulation is not in better shape than a crawl space without because the insulation begins to fall just as you see in these images. The moisture in the crawlspace is extremely powerful and the insulation absorbs the moisture but when the insulation is filled it begins to fall down, which creates the debris and mess in the crawl space. In Marydel, DE, the crawl space needs the insulation, debris, and moisture to be taken care of. DryZone helped these homeowners by removing the insulation and installing a condensation pump to keep the air dry. 

Staying in this home forever was a primary goal for this homeowner. However, some doors in the home were beginning to be difficult to open. They believed it was an issue that occurred in certain seasons with the expanding and contracting of wood. After the seasons changed, the problem persisted. For over a year this Marydel, DE homeowner dealt with this problem before determining it must be a bigger issue. They called the experts at DryZone to see what could be done to repair her home. After a free no-obligation inspection, it was discovered the floors in her home were unlevel and starting to sag. DryZone helped alleviate the moisture in the crawl space with drainage matting before stabilizing the floors with SmartJacks. Over time the SmartJacks can be adjusted so this home is protected for the rest of its life. 

There's nothing worse than having a beautiful yard and pool area with uneven concrete creating tripping hazards for your friends and family. With the PolyLevel system, you can repair sinking concrete in just a day!  Rather than a mixture of concrete and mud, this method uses high-density, lightweight, structural-grade polymers to lift, level and stabilize slabs. Because PolyLevel does not present the same issues as mudjacking or concrete replacement, it can be easily used in a variety of applications from a sinking driveway or uneven sidewalks to an unsafe pool patio or pool deck.  

After noticing a significant amount of water in the crawlspace, this Clayton homeowner called DryZone to see where the water was coming from. After a free, no obligation, inspection from a Design Specialist, DryZone realized there was a crawlspace entrance that was not sealed off and allowed water to pool in during heavy rain.  The crawlspace was wrapped by CleanSpace and a dehimidifier was installed. To prevent more water from coming in, DryZone installed a window entry well around the entrance of the crawlspace. Then, a TripleSafe sump pump was put in place to expell of any water that entered. 

Current homeowners know the difference that having their crawl space encapsulated with CleanSpace does for their home. This homeowner built a new home in Middletown and wanted to make sure that their crawl space was going to be dry from the start. After the home was completed DryZone came in to encapsulate the crawl space and add a SuperSump. This will make sure that their home is healthy and dry

The home in Middletown, DE is experiencing problems with the sidewalk and the homeowners need DryZone to fix the sinking slab! The entire sidewalk has sinking parts of concrete and the slabs are separating from one another. DryZone has the solution to lift the concrete and create an equal, leveled walkway. 

It's great to have a pool in your backyard, but there's more maintenance than just the pool! Around this pool patio, we installed NexusPro joint and crack sealant in all the areas that needed to be sealed, making this pool patio look better and be safer too!

David, of Middletown, DE, noticed that the concrete pool deck along the back side of his pool had begun sinking and becoming uneven, creating a tripping hazard. Concerned about safety and knowing that replacing the entire concrete deck would be costly, he began looking for alternatives to full replacement. During his research, he discovered DryZone and learned that we lift and level concrete.    Our System Design Specialist, Tom, conducted a thorough inspection and explained how to use the PolyLevel System to lift and level the concrete.    This repair project included two key components: PolyLevel and NexusPro Crack Repair. PolyLevel permanently lifts and stabilizes sinking concrete slabs using a high-density polyurethane formula. Small, penny-sized holes are drilled into the slab, and a structural-grade polymer is injected into the void. As the polyurethane expands, it precisely lifts and levels the slab. PolyLevel can often be installed in just a few hours, with the surface ready for use in as little as 15 minutes.    Thanks to these solutions, David now has peace of mind knowing there are no longer tripping hazards around his pool without the expense and disruption of a full concrete replacement.   

Dirt crawl spaces have a tendency to hold pockets of water. This is especially common when the crawl space is not sealed and wild animals burrow a comfortable bed in the dirt. In rainy seasons, those burrowed beds become ponds. This homeowner noticed puddles forming in the crawl space in multiple spots. Eventually, the thin vapor barrier tore and became wrinkled, inviting more pockets of water. It was time she corrected the issue and had the space leveled and encapsulated to keep unwelcomed guests out for good. DryZone encapsulated this space after filling those small holes scattered in the ground. The thick CleanSpace fully sealed every corner and the piers underneath this Crisfield, DE home.
