Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawlspace Encapsulation in Felton, DE
Lisa, of Felton, DE, noticed what she believed might be high humidity in her crawlspace. Concerned that the issue could worsen, she contacted the trusted experts at DryZone for a free inspection. Our System Design Specialist, Tom, conducted a thorough inspection and discovered that the crawlspace humidity level was over 75% well above the recommended 55% benchmark. Tom reviewed the solutions we offer to help manage the humidity. After learning more, Lisa decided to proceed with a full encapsulation.
The encapsulation included CleanSpace, DrainageMatting, SmartSump, and IceGuard. The SaniDry Sedona plays a vital role in maintaining healthy humidity levels, with the capacity to remove up to 100 pints of water per day and circulate over 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute throughout the crawlspace or basement. IceGuard provides additional protection by allowing water to escape if discharge lines freeze or become blocked, ensuring the sump pump can keep the crawlspace dry throughout the year.
Now, Lisa has peace of mind knowing her crawlspace is protected against high humidity. DryZone is proud to provide lasting solutions that protect homes across Delmarva.
