Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawlspace Encapsulation in Seaford, DE
Virginia started noticing a musty smell coming up from her crawlspace whenever the weather got warm. Knowing something underneath her home was causing the issue and could lead to bigger problems over time, she reached out to the trusted experts at DryZone to schedule a free inspection.
Our System Design Specialist Don completed a thorough inspection and found that the humidity level in the crawlspace was over 68%, which is well above the recommended 55% benchmark. That excess moisture was the reason for the musty smell inside the home.
To fix the problem, DryZone installed a full crawlspace encapsulation system with CleanSpace, DrainageMatting, and a SaniDry Sedona. These products work together to help control moisture and protect the crawlspace. The SaniDry Sedona is especially important because it helps keep humidity at a healthy level by removing up to 100 pints of water per day and moving more than 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute throughout the crawlspace or basement.
Virginia can now enjoy peace of mind knowing her crawlspace is cleaner, healthier, and protected from high humidity. DryZone is proud to provide solutions that help protect homes across Delmarva.
