Job Stories

Crawl spaces were not designed to have mold, water, and debris but this one does in Claymont, DE. Luckily, the homeowners heard that DryZone is the professional when it comes to crawl spaces and they gave us a call for a free inspection. After DryZone came out to the home, we saw the problems that were occuring in the crawl space and knew right away that the only solution would be a crawl space encapsulation.

Basement flooding had turned this unfinished basement into a space that could no longer be used. Instead of relying on this extra space for storage and laundry, this homeowner avoided the basement as much as possible. After a storm, the homeowner went to the basement to check on the sump pump. The sump pump was not working at all and started to cause muddy puddles on the floor. She knew she needed a better sump pump and waterproofing system to keep puddles from happening in her basement. DryZone improved the drainage of water by adding WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. The drain led water into a sump pump which then forced water out of the basement. Now there are no more puddles filling her basement. 

A homeowner in Claymont, DE noticed their garage floor was pulling away from the walls and beginning to sink. Concerned about the cause and potential damage, they contacted the concrete repair experts at DryZone for help.   One of our System Design Specialists conducted a free inspection and determined that the concrete floor had started to settle and sink into the ground, creating both structural and safety concerns.   To resolve the issue, DryZone recommended and installed PolyLevel®—a high-density polyurethane foam designed to lift and stabilize sinking concrete. The process involves drilling small, penny-sized holes into the slab, then injecting a structural-grade polymer into the voids beneath. As the foam expands, it lifts the concrete with precision and provides long-lasting support.   Thanks to DryZone and the power of PolyLevel®, this Claymont homeowner can now enjoy a safe, level garage floor and peace of mind knowing the problem has been permanently addressed.

Sagging floors can cause gaps around the edge of a room. When this homeowner noticed significant gaps on her floor, she knew her floor was drooping. DryZone installed a StartJack system to gently lift the floor and level it out.

A homeowner in Delmar, MD recognized that her crawl space needed help but only had a small budget to work with. Unsure of what to do or how to resolve the problems, the homeowner turned to the experts at DryZone. Immediately, the DryZone team recommended that the space have a SaniDry Sedona paired with a condensate pump added and have the vents blocked from outside, unconditioned air. In addition, the DryZone team recommended at least putting down drainage matting, a downspout extension with LawnScape Outlet, and a Turtl to the crawl space entrance. The homeowner agreed to all the recommendations and the DryZone team got straight to work. Before installing new products, the team removed all debris and regraded the ground for maximum drainage. The homeowner was very thankful for the DryZone team's attention to detail and compassion for her budget. 

Even though this home had no standing water in their crawl space there was evidence that moisture had been present. During the inspection of the home, Dan the System Design Specialist, found areas of mold growing on the floors. The solution for this homeowner was to have their crawl space encapsulated and to add a dehumidifier. By emanating the moisture from entering the crawl space through the ground and then adding a dehumidifier you are taking away one element that mold needs to grow and thrive. Mold in a crawl space can cause a number of different problems, ranging form allergies to wood rot.
