Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawlspace Encapsulation Solves High Humidity in Georgetown, DE

Regina of Georgetown, DE wanted to have her crawlspace inspected, so she reached out to the trusted experts at DryZone to schedule a free inspection. Our System Design Specialist, Tom, conducted a thorough inspection and found that the humidity in the crawlspace exceeded 76% well above the recommended benchmark of 55%. Tom discussed the solutions we offer to maintain proper humidity levels and protect the crawlspace. The major components of this crawlspace encapsulation project included CleanSpace, DrainageMatting, SmartSump, and a SaniDry Sedona. The SaniDry Sedona has an impressive 100-pint per day capacity and moves over 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute throughout the crawlspace or basement. CleanSpace is a durable, 20-mil-thick liner manufactured in seven layers, combining high-density polyethylene for puncture resistance, low-density polyethylene for flexibility, and polyester cord reinforcement for exceptional tear strength. Thanks to these solutions, Regina can now have peace of mind knowing her crawlspace is fully protected against high humidity. DryZone is proud to provide lasting solutions that safeguard homes across Delmarva.

Before Encapsulation

Before encapsulation, the crawlspace only had a thin liner laid on the ground.

Humidity

The ideal humidity level in a crawlspace is 55%, but this crawlspace measured 76.7% well above the recommended.

Existing Liner

The thin existing liner will be removed from the crawlspace.

Existing Liner

The existing liner was not fully installed in the crawlspace, leaving gaps around the piers and edges.

Regrade

The existing soil will be regraded to create a smooth, level surface.

DrainageMatting

DrainageMatting creates a drainage under the CleanSpace for water to flow to HydroLink or a SmartSump.

SaniDry Sedona

The SaniDry Sedona has a powerful 100-pint per day capacity and circulates over 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute throughout a crawlspace or basement.

CleanSpace

CleanSpace is a durable 20-mil-thick liner manufactured in seven layers, combining high-density polyethylene for puncture resistance, low-density polyethylene for flexibility, and polyester cord reinforcement for exceptional tear strength.
