Job Stories

Rainstorms were almost never a concern for this Lewes, DE homeowner. However, after noticing a musty smell in her home, she wondered if anything was wrong after the recent storm. After some research, she learned that water enters your crawl space from underneath and can linger, causing microbial growth on wooden floorboards. She called the experts at DryZone to inspect and give her suggestions for repair. DryZone encapsulated this crawl space completely, blocking out moisture from groundwater and future rainstorms. Now she no longer has to wonder if her home is safe from storms again!

Because this homeowner did not live in Lewes, DE full time, they did not notice the musty smells coming from the crawl space until they came down for a weekend away. They spent the majority of their visit cleaning and lighting candles to mask the smell, but it never went away. They called the crawl space experts at DryZone to see what was the problem. DryZone noticed a high level of humidity and hanging insulation. On the hanging insulation was some microbial growth, most likely the cause of the musty smell. DryZone added a dehumidifier to the crawl space and removed the wet insulation to protect the floor joists. 

This homeowner called DryZone after noticing sagging floors in her kitchen and bathroom.  A design specialist from DryZone noticed the sagging floors and saw signs of high moisture in the crawl space. He mapped out a support system in the crawl space that consisted of a supplemental beam and SmartJacks. Now the floors aren't bouncy anymore. 

During rainy seasons, this homeowner noticed water coming into the crawl space from the crawl space entry. He knew there had to be a better way to access the crawl space but still have a water-tight seal. He called the experts at DryZone to remove his current crawl space entry and fit him for a Turtl. With a Turtl, he has a water-tight seal and lockable access to his crawl space.
