Salisbury, MD Crawlspace Encapsulation
Gary was experiencing issues with microbial growth and musty odors inside his home. After doing some research, he suspected the crawlspace could be the source and contacted the trusted experts at DryZone to schedule a free estimate.
Our System Design Specialist, Don, completed a thorough inspection and sat down with Gary to review his findings. Two of the biggest concerns were the crawlspace humidity, which measured 66%—well above the recommended 55% benchmark—and visible signs of microbial growth.
To address the problems, DryZone recommended a full crawlspace encapsulation system that included CleanSpace, DrainageMatting, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and ShockWave treatment. The first step was treating the crawlspace with ShockWave, a disinfectant used to address microbial growth throughout the space. From there, the dirt floor was regraded to help improve drainage before DrainageMatting was installed across the crawlspace floor. CleanSpace was then installed over the matting to help isolate the home from the earth below.
Because high humidity was one of the main concerns, a SaniDry Sedona was also installed to help keep moisture levels under control. 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, it helps create a drier, healthier crawlspace environment.
Gary can now have greater peace of mind knowing the crawlspace has a system in place to help control humidity, reduce musty odors, and address conditions that can contribute to microbial growth. DryZone is proud to provide permanent crawlspace solutions that help homeowners protect their investment across Delmarva.
