Job Stories

A homeowner in Laure, DE was dealing with high humidity in their crawlspace. Concerned about the potential long-term effects, they reached out to the trusted experts at DryZone to schedule a free inspection. Our System Design Specialist, Jamie, performed a thorough evaluation and walked the homeowner through the best options to eliminate the humidity issue through a crawlspace encapsulation.    The key components of this project included CleanSpace, CleanSpace Wall Liner, and a SaniDry Sedona. The SaniDry Sedona is a powerful unit with a 100-pint-per-day capacity and the ability to circulate over 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute throughout the crawlspace or basement. CleanSpace is a durable, 20-mil-thick barrier made from seven layers: high-density polyethylene for puncture resistance, low-density polyethylene for flexibility, and polyester cord for superior tear resistance.    Thanks to these long-lasting solutions, this Laure homeowner now has peace of mind knowing their crawlspace is dry and protected. DryZone is proud to provide effective, long-term solutions to homeowners across Delmarva. 

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!

The Town of Little Creek was experiencing issues with uneven and cracked sidewalks throughout the community. Concerned about the potential tripping hazards these posed, town officials began researching repair solutions. Knowing that the cost to replace them would be much higher than repair they contacted the experts at DryZone to schedule a free inspection.   Our team identified the problem areas and proposed a solution using PolyLevel a high-density polyurethane formula that permanently lifts and stabilizes sinking concrete slabs. The process involves drilling small, penny-sized holes into the affected slabs and injecting a structural-grade polymer into the void beneath. As the polyurethane expands, it accurately lifts and levels the slab, restoring it to a safe and even surface.    Thanks to this solution, the Town of Little Creek can now rest easy knowing its sidewalks are safer and no longer a tripping hazard. DryZone is proud to deliver reliable, long-lasting solutions that help protect homes and strengthen communities through Delmarva.
