Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawlspace Encapsulation in Milton, DE
Teri of Milton, DE, had lived in her home for 20 years when she began noticing standing water and musty odors coming from the crawlspace. Wanting to address the issue before it worsened, she contacted the experts at DryZone for a free inspection.
Our System Design Specialist, Derek, performed a thorough inspection and discovered that the crawlspace humidity was over 74% well above the recommended 55% benchmark.
To resolve the problem, DryZone installed a complete encapsulation system that included CleanSpace, DrainageMatting, a SmartSump, and a SaniDry Sedona. The SaniDry Sedona can remove up to 100 pints of water per day while circulating over 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute throughout the crawlspace. The SmartSump features a unique lid design that channels plumbing leaks into an alarm pocket, triggering the WaterWatch Alarm. From there, water drains through a special airtight floor drain, keeping damp air from rising into the home, while the alarm also provides alerts for pump or power failures.
Thanks to these solutions, Teri now has peace of mind knowing her crawlspace is protected from high humidity and musty odors. DryZone is proud to provide lasting solutions to protect homes across Delmarva.
Existing Liner
The existing liner will be removed from the crawlspace and replaced with DrainageMatting and CleanSpace.
Existing Liner
The existing liner will be removed from the crawlspace, as it is not providing any insulation value.
Humidity
The humidity in the crawlspace measured over 74%, significantly higher than the recommended 55% benchmark.
Regrade
The existing soil will be regraded to improve drainage.
DrainageMatting
DrainageMatting is a durable matting that creates a drainage space and thermal break between the CleanSpace and the ground.
CleanSpace
CleanSpace is a durable 20-mil liner made of seven layers: high-density polyethylene for puncture resistance, low-density polyethylene for flexibility, and polyester cord reinforcement for superior tear resistance.
SaniDry Sedona
The SaniDry Sedona can remove up to 100 pints of moisture per day and circulates over 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute throughout the crawlspace or basement.
SmartSump
The SmartSump features a unique lid design that directs water from a plumbing leak into an alarm pocket, triggering the WaterWatch alarm. From there, water flows through a special airtight floor drain that allows water to escape while preventing damp air from entering the crawlspace.
