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. 

The beautiful deck in Rock Hall, MD is experiencing sinking concrete as well as a large crack. The homeowners are concerned about their friends and family tripping on the crack. DryZone came to inspect the property and saw the crack on the deck of this home. DryZone injected the PolyLevel into the concrete and the deck rose back to the desired level. 

The porch in Rock Hall, MD is experiencing a large crack and sinking slab by the stairs and the front door of the home. This is a significant problem for the homeowners because they are upset with the appearance of the sinking slab as well as concerned about the danger it may cause. DryZone injected PolyLevel into the sinking slab and the concrete raised back to the original height with a fifteen minute cure time. 

The homeowners in Rock Hall, MD contacted DryZone about their sinking slab and wanted to learn more about our PolyLevel service. DryZone came out for a free no-obligation inspection and saw the dangerous sinking slab. Our suggestion for the homeowners was to allow DryZone to inject the PolyLevel instead of tearing apart their porch. The homeowners were happy with the outcome of their porch and especially happy that they used Polylevel with DryZone instead of throwing money away on tearing apart their porch. 

A wet crawlspace caused some concern for this Rock Hall homeowner. However, after having a look underneath the home, some rotting floor piers seemed to cause significant sagging floors.    After installing some Smart Jacks to remedy the sagging floors, DryZone made sure to protect the home from further moisture damage by encapsulating. First, they sealed out the crawlspace with CleanSpace and installed a SaniDry Sedona to keep humidity low and protect the wooden floor joists. They completed the project by installing a SmartSump to quickly remove any water that comes in. 

After calling multiple contractors to work on his home, this Rock Hall, MD homeowner said he wanted his home "done the right way by one company" Luckily, DryZone builds and empowers experts in crawl space encapsulation and foundation repair. These two things were exactly what this homeowner needed. High humidity under the home started to affect the strength of his floorboards. Noticing a couple of dips in his floor alerted him that something needed to be done.  DryZone noticed high levels of humidity on every surface of this crawl space. Even the wooden floorboard seemed to hold moisture like a sponge. Along with reducing the moisture and protecting the crawl space, the floor was stabilized by a SmartJack system. 

This homeowner in St. Michaels recently purchased their home and discovered that over a foot of water in their crawl space. They had used DryZone in the past, so they knew where to turn. After the inspection it turned out that their existing sump pump had failed. The right move for this homeowner was to encapsulate the stone floor crawl space with CleanSpace and install a new SmartSump. As well to make sure their home was dry and safe they installed a Turtl. 

This homeowner contacted DryZone knowing that they had an issue with their crawl space. Years of moisture in the crawl space had caused the insulation to fall. What thy didn’t know was the extent the damage the moisture had on their crawl space. The inspection took place in October, a month with relatively low humidity, In their crawl space the humidity levels were over 70. This is a perfect breeding ground for mold and is the reason their insulation was falling. Going into the winter months, the failing insulation on their floor would have provided little warmth an comfort and could cause higher heating bills. This homeowner knew they needed to take action and make a change. Instead of keeping the existing insulation or putting up new fiberglass insulation, the homeowner made the switch to SilverGlo insulation. This will keep the crawl space at the same temperature as the inside of the house - without heating or cooling the crawlspace. It will also make sure heat doesn’t leave the home through the floors. These homeowner also encapsulated their crawl space with CleanSpace - keeping it dry and clean for years to come. They also knew that they needed to replace their old sump pump with a new SmartSump and IceGuard. 

This homeowner called DryZone because he believed that the two sump pumps in his crawl space weren’t draining properly. As well he was concerned about the insulation. During our inspection we noticed some pretty surprising issues. The homeowner was right about the insulation! They needed to have all of it removed, due to mold. As well the homeowners need to have their vents blocked and sealed with the addition of an EverLast Door to prevent any more critters from making their crawl space a home. Another issue that was detected was that their sump pumps were just buckets with a small pump inside. In order to correct this major mistake the homeowners opted for the TripleSafe Sump Pump. This will keep their crawlspace dry ALL THE TIME. Encapsulating their crawl space and creating a dry environment that will make sure their home is safe and healthy for years and years to come! 

Concrete sidewalks are more likely to sink when water gets underneath the slabs. Water washed underneath of these concrete slabs in St. Michaels, MD, and caused them to become uneven. To help, DryZone lifted and leveled the slabs and added a sealant between the seams, blocking out water from the dirt underneath.
