Job Stories

A homeowner in Westover, MD, faced a significant issue with their crawlspace flooding due to its proximity to water. Worried about potential damage to the foundation, they contacted the experts at DryZone for assistance. Tom, our System Design Specialist, performed a free inspection and discovered not only standing water but also twisting girders resulting from excessive moisture.   To tackle these issues, we implemented several key components for the crawlspace encapsulation: a SmartSump, HydroLink, CleanSpace, and IceGuard. The SmartSump is an advanced sump pump specifically designed for crawlspaces, equipped with a liner and lid that seal tightly around the CleanSpace liner. Given that most homeowners rarely venture into their crawlspace, it’s crucial to have a system that alerts them to any plumbing leaks. The SmartSump, paired with a WaterWatch Alarm, will notify you if the alarm pocket fills with water.   Thanks to DryZone’s intervention, this Westover, MD, homeowner can now rest assured that their crawlspace is protected from flooding. We’re pleased to have supported them in safeguarding their home.
