Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Most crawl spaces have a black sheet that was initially put into the crawl space when the home is built. The homeowners would like a full encapsulation in the crawl space becasue they no longer want to worry about what may occur to their crawl space and home in the future. It is best to prevent the problem ahead of time. 

Having access to your crawl space is great for checking on your home's health. For this homeowner, they wanted to make sure regular maintenance could be done under their home without issue. They had a crawl space entrance, but it was not large enough and leaked water whenever it rained. A Turtl crawl space entrance was a perfect addition to their home because it was air-tight and made entering the crawl space easy. 

This beautiful home in McDaniel, MD is experiencing ugly problems in the crawl space. Some of the issues consist of mold, moisture, and water but the crawl space can not handle these problems without the help from DryZone. DryZone received the call from the homeowners in McDaniel, MD and immediately came out to inspect the property. The first thing we noticed was the moldy odor smell coming through the vents and into the home, which started from the crawl space. This issue is very common because of the moisture in the crawl space that causes mold to grow on the organic materials.

The homeowners in McDaniel, MD are not happy with the outcome of their crawl space and they want to make a change right away before it is too late. DryZone came to the home to check out the issues and discovered that the crawl space definitely needed to be encapsulated. We suggested CleanSpace interior liner, water drainage mat, TripleSafe sump pump, and dehumidifier because all of these products will keep the crawl space dry and clean all of the time. 

Encapsulating the crawl space is the best way to keep the area dry and clean. The homeowners saw DryZone's previous work with crawl space encapsulations and knew right away what had to be done.  As you can see in the image, the crawl space is experiencing falling insulation because the moisture in the crawl space is too strong. Insulation is not made to last the lifespan of the home; however, an encapsulated crawl space is made to last. The homeowners knew this was the perfect opportunity to fix their crawl space for good, which is when they contacted DryZone and now their crawl space is in the best condition.
