Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawlspace Encapsulation in Townsend, DE

Sandy was experiencing issues with condensation in the crawlspace of their newly purchased home. Wanting to protect their investment, they reached out to the trusted experts at DryZone to schedule a free inspection. Our System Design Specialist, Don, conducted a thorough inspection and reviewed his findings with Sandy. The inspection revealed that the humidity level in the crawlspace was over 72% well above the recommended benchmark of 55%. This excessive humidity was the primary cause of the condensation forming throughout the area. To address these issues, we installed CleanSpace, DrainageMatting, and a SaniDry Sedona. The SaniDry Sedona will help maintain proper humidity levels by removing up to 100 pints of water per day and circulating over 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute throughout the crawlspace or basement. Thanks to these solutions, Sandy can now enjoy peace of mind knowing their investment is protected. DryZone is proud to provide lasting solutions that protect homes across Delmarva.

CleanSpace is a durable 20-mil-thick liner manufactured with an antimicrobial additive called UltraFresh.

After Encapsulation

CleanSpace is manufactured with seven layers, combining high-density polyethylene for puncture resistance, low-density polyethylene for flexibility, and polyester cord reinforcement for exceptional tear strength.

After Encapsulation

CleanSpace will also be installed on the piers to prevent moisture from wicking up through the soil into the concrete blocks.

After Encapsulation

The negative effects of a dirt crawlspace can include high humidity, condensation, microbial growth, wood rot, insects, cold floors, and increased heating costs. CleanSpace addresses these issues by creating a barrier between your home and the ground, effectively isolating your house from the earth's moisture and its harmful effects.
