Crawlspace Encapsulation and Foundation Repair in East New Market, MD

Homeowner Cheryl in East New Market, MD was dealing with significant floor sagging along with musty odors throughout the home, clear signs of an ongoing moisture and structural problem in the crawlspace. Previous repairs, including replacing damaged wood, had only provided a temporary fix, and the issues eventually returned. Wanting a permanent and comprehensive solution that addressed the root cause of the problem, Cheryl reached out to the trusted experts at DryZone for a free estimate.

Our System Design Specialist conducted a thorough inspection of the crawlspace and identified both moisture-related concerns and structural instability. To address the moisture issues, we installed DrainageMatting, CleanSpace, Mold-X, and a SaniDry Sedona. Mold-X was used to treat the affected areas, while DrainageMatting and CleanSpace work together to help separate the home from the earth and reduce the impact of ground moisture. To further control humidity and help keep the crawlspace dry, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which can remove up to 100 pints of water per day and circulate over 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute.

For the structural concerns, we installed SmartJacks and supplemental beams to stabilize and support the floor system above. These solutions are designed to address sagging floors by providing the support needed to help restore stability to the home.

With these solutions in place, Cheryl now has a lasting solution that addresses both the moisture and structural issues in the crawlspace. She can enjoy greater peace of mind knowing her home is better protected with a system designed to create a healthier, more stable environment for years to come.
