Job Stories

The homeowner has lived in their home for 25 years and recently started to do some renovations. He goes under the home periodically and has noticed that some joists are rotting and would like it fixed as well as the crawlspaces cleaned up and encapsulated.

A longtime homeowner in Deal Island, MD, began noticing signs of wood rot in their crawlspace after living in the home for over 25 years. Concerned, they did some research and discovered that high humidity was likely the culprit. Seeking a permanent solution, they contacted the experts at DryZone. Our System Design Specialist, Tom, conducted a free inspection and confirmed their concerns—humidity levels in the crawlspace were exceeding 80%, creating a perfect environment for wood rot and other moisture-related issues.   To combat the problem, we installed a full crawlspace encapsulation system featuring CleanSpace and the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The SaniDry Sedona has an impressive 100-pint-per-day capacity and circulates over 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute, helping to maintain humidity levels at or below 55%.     With these solutions in place, the homeowner can now rest easy knowing their crawlspace is protected from excess moisture. DryZone is proud to have helped safeguard this Deal Island home for many more years to come.

The homeowners in Bivalve, MD was very uncomfortable with their crawl space because they knew the space under their home was not in the right condition. They contacted DryZone to take a look at their crawl space and the rest of their property in hopes that DryZone would find a solution to their problem. DryZone knew exactly what to install to make this crawl space a clean and dry area under the Bivalve, MD home. 

In Bivalve, MD, the homeowners were concerned with the amount of debris and water damage under their home. After contacting DryZone, our team went out to the property to inspect the home and found a few problems with the crawl space. First, the insulation was falling from the roof of the crawl space. The reason for falling insulation is due to the amount of moisture in the air of the crawl space. Our first suggestion for the homeowners was for DryZone to remove the debris and insulation. Next, water was flowing through the walls and into the crawl space causing water damage. DryZone installed a water drainage mat, SilverGlo, and a SaniDry CX to control the flow of water and moisture on the ground and in the air. Lastly, DryZone installed an Everlast door, SmartPump and IceGuard. All of these products that DryZone installed will help control the flow of water and keep the crawl space dry all the time. 

The crawl space in Bivalve, MD has severe water damage and problems with the insulation. The homeowners contacted DryZone to remove the insulation and debris from the crawl space and install something that would help with the water problem. DryZone suggested a water drainage mat and for us to remove the insulation and debris in the crawl space. This fit into the homeowners budget and they loved the idea. Now, they are happy with their crawl space and no longer worry about water damage. 

For this Bivalve, MD couple, keeping their vacation home in great condition made weekend getaways much more relaxing. However, during their recent vacation, they noticed a musty smell and cold floors on the first story of the home. If they wanted to keep the home in pristine condition, they needed to schedule an inspection. DryZone visited the home for a free no-obligation inspection of the crawl space and noticed high humidity that caused microbial growth which called for the musty odor. To repair this crawlspace, DryZone suggested a full encapsulation to seal out constant humid air that came from the nearby river. Once the area is properly sealed, a dehumidifier can control the environment and, in turn, take away moisture that feeds microbial growth.

There's nothing better than a sunny space in your home to read a book, spend time with family or just relax. But most of us don't necessarily think of a sunny space being in your basement! A nice couple in Camden Wyoming, DE decided to replace their old, rusted window wells with the SunHouse Basement Window Enclosures to let in more natural light to brighten up their finished basement.  Not only do they let in more light, they also keep dirt, debris and water from getting stuck or splashing up against the basement windows. A win win!

Peter A. called DryZone after seeing the encapsulation work done in his daughter's home. His main goal was improving the high moisture content in his crawlspace. After a free inspection, the Design Specialist at DryZone noticed some areas where air was coming in.    To resolve the issue of high moisture and proper insulation, a thick and waterproof insulation was installed on the brick foundation. Lowering high humidity was resolved by adding drainage matting as well as a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. 

Moving closer to family in Delaware was extremely important to this couple. They could plan many more outings with grandchildren and children when living much closer. One vital detail they remembered was having an encapsulated crawl space in their old home a few states away. After learning that DryZone offers encapsulation, they knew they wanted the work done in their Delaware home. DryZone took time to answer questions and explain the process and compare it to the encapsulation in their previous home. Excited about the job, the homeowners scheduled for an encapsulation. DryZone encapsulated the crawl space with a strong vapor barrier and placed a SsaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control the environment of the crawl space. Now the air is clean, dry, and safe for grandchildren to visit!
