Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawlspace Encapsulation in Bridgeville, DE
David was tired of dealing with a nasty crawlspace that constantly had issues with standing water. Knowing these problems were only going to get worse, he contacted the trusted experts at DryZone to schedule a free inspection. Our System Design Specialist, Derek, conducted a thorough inspection of the crawlspace. During the inspection, he found standing water as well as humidity levels above 70%, which is well above the recommended 55% benchmark.
To solve the standing water and high humidity issues, we installed CleanSpace, DrainageMatting, HydroLink, a SmartSump, and a SaniDry Sedona. HydroLink was installed to direct any water that enters the crawlspace to the SmartSump. Since high humidity was also a major concern, the SaniDry Sedona will play an important role in maintaining a healthy humidity level in the crawlspace. The SaniDry Sedona has a capacity of up to 100 pints per day and can move over 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute throughout the crawlspace.
With these solutions in place, David can now have peace of mind knowing his crawlspace is dry and his home is better protected for years to come.
Standing Water and Hanging Insulation
Due to the high humidity in the crawlspace, the insulation had become waterlogged and was beginning to fall down.
Existing Liner
The existing liner was thin and did not fully cover the crawlspace, including the walls and piers. Because of this, it was still allowing the effects of the earth to impact the home.
Hanging Insulation
The hanging insulation will be removed from the crawlspace.
DrainageMatting
DrainageMatting creates a drainage space beneath the CleanSpace, allowing water to flow to the SmartPipe or SmartSump.
SaniDry Sedona
With the humidity in this crawlspace being high, the SaniDry Sedona will play an integral part in keeping the humidity at a manageable level.
CleanSpace
CleanSpace is a heavy 20-mil-thick liner, similar to a pool liner. It is made with a blend of high-density polyethylene for puncture resistance, low-density polyethylene for flexibility, and polyester cord reinforcement for strong tear resistance.
