Job Stories

Groundwater rises and falls with changing seasons. For this Newark, MD church, groundwater seemed to always be high, and over time caused a musty smell in the building. They had installed a sump pump to try ad control the water, but the water vapor from the ground seemed to linger and started making the floorboards weak. When a DryZone design specialist looked underneath the church, it was discovered the floorboards were starting to rot! DryZone encapsulated this crawl space to block out moisture from the earth and protect the wooden floorboards. 

This Chincoteague Island home owner was looking to have their crawlspace encapsulated and closed off from the outside. They were looking to get rid of any humidity, as well as have the crawlspace be a clean area.

The homeowner is looking to have his crawlspace encapsulated and closed off from the outside so that it can stay a dry and healthy area. All of the humidity and the uncleanliness of the space is what ultimately drew the homeowner to give us a call.   Our team went out to take a look and found that we would be able to encapsulate the area with ease. We also recommended adding supplemental beam and smartjacks in order to keep the integrity of the area stable. On top of that, we added a proper entrance to the space so it can be accessed easily. Lastly, we used our spray insulation to close off the area and keep it insulated from the outside.

The homeowners in Frankford, DE were experiencing issues with their crawl space. DryZone was contacted by these homeowners to encapsulate their crawl space and take away all their water issues.

After seeing us at a home and craft expo this fall, this homeowner in Frankford, DE decided to see what was going on in their crawlspace. The homeowner never thought to check underneath their home for signs of water or the effects of moisture.  After DryZone inspected their space, they found out that mold and moisture had affected some of their floor joists. We installed our CleanSpace crawlspace liner with a condensate pump and a dehumidifier to help keep water out and control any moisture underneath the home. We also ran a 20 foot discharge pipe outside from the home to a LawnScape outlet, where water can escape out and away from the home. We also installed a sister floor joist underneath the home to stabilize the floor because of the water damage that occured from an uncontrolled crawlspace.  Now this homeowner can worry less about the effects of moisture underneath their home and feel protected!

This homeowner in Frankford, DE had a Turtl installed to make going in and out of their crawlspace easier and safer! The Turtl can be locked and keeps water out, sealing the crawlspace and keeping the space controlled. 

This homeowner gave us a call because they had some concerns with the structural integrity of their home. They are looking to move into this home full time and want to ensure all structural issues are addressed. Pilot town engineering also came out to take a look per the request of the homeowner and provide their recommendations.    While we were taking a look, we noticed the crawlspace was encapsulated by another company. We also noticed water stains on their product which we brought to the homeowners attention. While looking at the structure of the area, we noticed most of the piers were separated from the girder, pilot town recommended the installation of metal shims. Some of the piers look to be leaning, so we will need to correct those as well.   Ultimately, we installed our smartjacks support system, a supplemental beam/girder and floor joists to correct the structure issues. To address the water issues, we installed a smartsump system, ice guard to prevent floods from clogged or frozen discharge lines, lawnscape at the end of the discharge line and cleanspace with drainage matting to encapsulate the area.
