Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Berlin, MD
Mason had started to notice that the floors in his home were beginning to sag. While the issue wasn't severe, it had become noticeable enough that he wanted to address it before it turned into a bigger problem. Looking for a permanent solution, he contacted the trusted experts at DryZone to schedule a free estimate. Our System Design Specialist, Derek, completed a thorough inspection of the crawl space and found that the home's support system needed reinforcement.
To permanently stabilize the floors and protect the home's foundation, the DryZone team completed a crawl space encapsulation and foundation repair. The project included the installation of CleanSpace, Drainage Matting, SmartJacks, and supplemental support beams.
CleanSpace is our durable 20-mil crawl space encapsulation system designed to help separate the home from the earth below. Manufactured with multiple layers for strength and flexibility, it helps protect the crawl space from moisture and creates a cleaner, healthier environment. Beneath the liner, Drainage Matting provides a channel for any water that enters the crawl space to move efficiently toward the drainage system.
To address the sagging floors, SmartJacks and supplemental beams were installed to provide permanent structural support and help restore stability to the home's framing.
Thanks to these solutions, Mason can enjoy greater peace of mind knowing that his crawl space and foundation are protected for years to come. DryZone is proud to provide permanent crawl space and foundation repair solutions that help homeowners protect their investments across Delmarva.
Existing Liner
The existing liner was not providing any sort of vapor barrier or protection from the earth elements.
Hanging Insulation
Due to moisture issues in the crawl space, the insulation became waterlogged and began to detach. The weight of the trapped moisture caused the insulation to sag and contributed to the settling of the floor girders.
Debris
All debris will be removed from the crawl space to create an even surface for the installation of the encapsulation system.
Existing Liner
After removing the existing liner from the crawl space, the ground must be regraded to ensure a level, flat surface for the CleanSpace installation.
CleanSpace
CleanSpace is installed up the wall to fully protect the foundation and crawlspace. During installation, we leave sufficient space at the top of the material to allow for unobstructed termite inspections.
CleanSpace
This dirt crawl space is problematic because it contributes to high humidity, condensation, microbial growth, pest infiltration, cold floors, and increased heating costs.
CleanSpace
To create a healthy crawl space, the solution is to uncouple the effects of the earth from your home.
CleanSpace
CleanSpace features an integrated UltraFresh antimicrobial additive molded directly into the material for enhanced protection.
