Ed had been living in his home for a little over a year when he began noticing standing water in the crawlspace. Knowing that excess water beneath the home could lead to bigger problems over time, Ed contacted the trusted experts at DryZone to schedule a free inspection. Our System Design Specialist, Don, met with Ed and completed a thorough inspection of the crawlspace. During the inspection, Don confirmed the standing water issue and also found signs of moisture along the concrete block walls.   The major components of this crawlspace encapsulation project included CleanSpace, Drainage Matting, HydroLink, a SmartSump, and a SaniDry Sedona. One of Ed's biggest concerns was getting the standing water under control. To address this, our crew installed HydroLink to collect groundwater and direct it to the SmartSump, where it can then be pumped safely away from the home. CleanSpace and Drainage Matting were also installed to help isolate the crawlspace from the damp ground below and create a cleaner, drier environment.   Standing water can also contribute to high humidity, which can lead to condensation, microbial growth, and wood rot. To help maintain the crawlspace at the recommended 55% humidity level, we installed a SaniDry Sedona. With the ability to remove up to 100 pints of moisture per day and move more than 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute, the Sedona helps keep humidity under control throughout the crawlspace.     With a complete system in place to address both the standing water and humidity, Ed can now have peace of mind knowing his crawlspace has a long-lasting solution. DryZone is proud to provide solutions that help homeowners protect their investment across Delmarva.

The crawl space in Marion Station, Maryland is wet and starting to smell like mold throughout the home. Not only do the homeowners have water problems but they are also dealing with their insulation falling down. Why is this happening? Because the moisture in the air from the water damage is causing the insulation to absorb all the moisture. When the insulation is full of water, it begins to fall apart. These homeowners need a solution for their crawl space and decided to call DryZone.  DryZone came up with a solution for these homeowners, which included a water drainage mat, SaniDry, Everlast door, and liners. Now the homeowners are happy with their crawl space and no longer need to worry about water damage or a musty mold smell.
