Job Stories

A homeowner in Magnolia, DE had been dealing with an ongoing issue in their bathroom—cracks in the ceiling that had been appearing for the past twenty years. Frustrated after repeated repairs that never seemed to hold, they began to suspect there might be an underlying problem. Seeking a lasting solution, they contacted the professionals at DryZone for a free inspection.    Upon inspection, we discovered that excessive humidity in the crawl space had caused the existing girder to sag, contributing to the persistent ceiling cracks.    To address the situation, we removed the old girder and wood shims, replacing them with a new girder and metal shims. This essential repair work ensured that the foundation of the home would remain level moving forward, eliminating any future concerns about sagging.

A homeowner in Laurel, DE had taken on crawlspace repairs for years, but they were growing weary of the recurring issues. After some online research, they decided to contact the experts at DryZone. Our System Design Specialist, Joseph, conducted a free inspection and identified significant humidity problems in the crawlspace.   To address these issues, we implemented a comprehensive crawlspace encapsulation system that included CleanSpace, SaniDry Sedona, HydroLink, and a TripleSafe sump pump.

Why is moisture a problem for your crawl space? The answer is simple, moisture creates mold. If mold is growing on the wood in the crawl space, you have a problem. If it's a white mold, it's usually a surface mold, but this is a sign that humidity levels are extremely high in the crawl space.  If there is black or brown mold in your crawl space, structural damage is occurring, which means contacting DryZone is an immediate action! DryZone will take care of the mold issue and encapsulate the crawl space and all the problems with the crawl space will be gone. 

The crawl space encapsulation is important for homeowners to have installed because it keeps the crawl space dry, which ultimately prevents mold and wood rot. 

The crawl space is experiencing moisture issues as well as insulation problems. The homeowners would love for DryZone to encapsulate their crawl space to keep the moisture problems out! 

No matter what size the crawl space is, cold air and moisture can enter and affect the home. In the year they owned it, they noticed cold floors and high energy bills and knew they wanted their crawl space conditioned and done the right way.  Since the HVAC system was under the home, the only reason he would enter the crawl space was to change filters. After changing the filter, he noticed just how messy and damp the underneath of his home was.  DryZone came to the home to do a thorough inspection and knew exactly what his home needed to be properly repaired. Not only would the crawl space be much cleaner to crawl through for filter changes, but would keep out cold air and moisture that brought their energy bills through the roof!
