Job Stories

A routine HVAC maintenance appointment was scheduled for this McDaniel, MD home. After the appointment, the technician approached the homeowner and pointed out some concerning factors in the crawl space. One of the most concerning factors was some microbial growth on the floor joists. This shocking revelation made the homeowner wonder what else they had wrong in their home. The HVAC technician referred them to the experts at DryZone to control the moisture and make the crawl space an unpleasant place for this growth to happen. DryZone informed the homeowner that mold needs three things to grow; moisture, food, and oxygen. When you control the moisture in the air, you destroy a vital part of their life. After encapsulating this crawl space, the concern for microbial growth quickly became a thing of the past. 

The homeowners in Bozman, MD are extremely satisfied with their completed deck behind their beautiful home. There are no longer cracks and sinking concrete on their deck for them to worry about. DryZone injected the PolyLevel foam to repair the concrete and the area looks brand new!  As you can see from the pictures, the concrete deck was an eye-sore for the homeowners. Why should anyone be embarrassed about their home? Now they have no reason to worry about the appearance or safety issues because DryZone repaired their worries with PolyLevel!  

Crawl spaces are sometimes designed with concrete floors as a way to block out water vapor from the earth. However, if water gets into the crawl space from the foundation walls, it has nowhere to drain and ends up sitting on top of the concrete floors. When water sits, it affects the moisture in the air, and eventually weakens floorboards. Eventually, flooding crawl spaces cause microbial growth on the foundation blocks and floorboards. For this homeowner, he noticed water stains and efflorescence on his foundation walls, and standing water lasted weeks after any rain had fallen. He knew he needed a drainage system to pump water out of the crawl space instead of holding it. DryZone helped improve drainage by installing a trench drain around the perimeter of the crawl space. After this, DryZone installed a strong sump pump to remove rainwater and groundwater instead of allowing it to flood. 

This homeowner gave us a call to help refresh the pool area, patio and basketball court with our polyaspartic concrete floor coating.  Before the coating was started, we prepped the surface with an industrial grinder. After we prepped the surface, we filled in any cracks with NexusPro joint sealant. Then, the tinted base coat is applied to the concrete. We then aggresively coat the concrete with a vinyl flake, which comes in a variety of colors to choose from. After this is fully broadcast over the whole surface, we blow off any excess flake and disgard of what is not needed. We then apply a clear top coat which seals in all the flake.  Our concrete coating transforms outdoor spaces to look like new in no time! If you have an old concrete patio, walkway or even a basement that needs a lift, give us a call!

High humidity under this Claiborne, MD home began to attract dust mites and other insects. Soon, exterminator calls became a normal thing for this homeowner. After having conversations with friends, they learned insects thrive in moist areas, especially homes, and eat off floorboards. They knew they needed to properly seal away any gaps and lower humidity to make their crawl space less welcoming for pests. DryZone encapsulated the crawl space by sealing the space between the home and the foundation. Once these spaces were sealed, a dehumidifier was added to control the environment. Dust mites and spiders are a thing of the past for this tightly sealed crawl space.

The crawl space in Taylors Island, MD needs to be encapsulated right away! The homeowners are not happy with the water in their crawl space, which made them contact DryZone for a free no obligation inspection. The homeowners have seen DryZone's work before and were interested in the crawl space encapsulation. 

This homeowner called DryZone with a mission to clean and encapsulate her crawl space. For a few years, she had been using a portable water pump and pumping water out of the crawl space every time it rained. When a storm was in the forecast, she knew she would be stuck outside for hours the next day, making sure her crawl space was dry. She finally said enough is enough and knew there had to be a better way to keep her home dry. DryZone took a look at the crawl space and noticed not only were water stains on the brick foundation but standing water was in the center, far from where the homeowner could reach with her portable water pump. To help improve water drainage, DryZone installed a strong sump pump to pump out water as it came in. DryZone also sealed the crawl space vents to block out more incoming water. 

In every crawl space, the moisture in the air should be under control, water should not be a problem, and mold should not grow. In Rock Hall, MD this was not the case. The homeowners wanted to make a change, which is why they called DryZone. DryZone installed a dehumidifier, water drainage mat, and interior CleanSpace wall and floor liners. Now that is what a crawl space should look like! We are glad the homeowners are satisfied with the new area under their home.
