Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawlspace Encapsulation in Frankford, DE
Scott of Frankford, DE noticed standing water in his crawlspace and insulation sagging throughout the space. Concerned that unresolved water issues could lead to higher humidity and further damage, he reached out to the trusted experts at DryZone for a free inspection. Our System Design Specialist, Tom, conducted a thorough evaluation and discovered that crawlspace humidity levels exceeded 73%, which is well above the recommended benchmark of 55%.
To resolve these issues, Scott's crawlspace encapsulation included CleanSpace, DrainageMatting, a SmartSump, and a SaniDry Sedona. The SaniDry Sedona removes up to 100 pints per day and circulates over 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute throughout the crawlspace or basement. The SmartSump features a unique lid design that channels water from plumbing leaks into an alarm pocket, activating the WaterWatch alarm. From there, water flows through a specialist airtight floor drain that allows it to exit while preventing damp air from entering the crawlspace. The alarm also provides alerts in the event of a pump or power failure.
Now, Scott enjoys peace of mind knowing his crawlspace is protected from standing water and high humidity. DryZone is proud to provide lasting solutions that protect homes across Delmarva.
