Dehumidifying a Crawl Space in Lewes, DE
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.
