The DryZone team installed a complete crawl space encapsulation system featuring CleanSpace, a durable vapor barrier designed to isolate the home from ground moisture. By sealing the crawl space, CleanSpace helps control moisture and humidity while reducing the conditions that can contribute to musty odors, microbial growth, and wood rot.

A homeowner in North East, MD, faced persistent water leaks into his crawlspace, leading to high humidity and unwanted microbial growth. Having seen DryZone's impressive work during their home search, they knew just who to contact for help. They reached out to the team at DryZone, where our System Design Specialist, Tom, conducted a free inspection and discovered that the crawlspace's relative humidity exceeded 65%.

To address these issues, we implemented a crawlspace encapsulation system featuring key components such as a SmartSump, UltraSump, SaniDry Sedona, CleanSpace, and Hydrolink. The SaniDry Sedona was particularly crucial, as it effectively maintains humidity levels below 55% in the crawlspace. With an impressive capacity of 100 pints per day, it circulates over 300 cubic feet of dry air every minute, ensuring a healthier environment.

Having a home to get away to on weekends can be a great investment. However, some homes come with a list of needed repairs once you own them. This homeowner and his spouse purchased this getaway beach house and quickly noticed sagging floors and high moisture. Looking underneath of the home quickly exposed wet hanging insulation, absorbing groundwater up to the floorboards. After prolonged exposure to moisture, microbial growth started to feed on wood and insulation and spread across the crawl space. To protect the investment of their getaway home, this homeowner called the crawl space and foundation experts at DryZone to reduce moisture and stabilize the foundation. 

For the foundation to be properly repaired, the crawl space had to be dried out and encapsulated to prevent high moisture in the future. After encapsulating with a 20 mm reinforced vapor barrier, a dehumidifier was installed to keep moisture regulated in changing weather. Once the environment was controlled, the foundation could be stabilized with SmartJacks to keep the sagging floors strong and eventually lift them to their original height. 

These homeowners had an issue with their front steps. They had fallen abut an inch and begun to pull away from their home. The homeowner had previously tried to caulk the steps, but this was little more than a quick fix on a permanent problem. Luckily, the true fix came into play with DryZone and their trained concrete professionals. PolyLevel was used to riase these steps back to their original position. Within just 20 minutes, the PolyLevel had achieved 90% of its strenght and durability. This means that this homeowner was ready for guests in time for dinner!

When a concrete slab cracks and sinks, this indicates a more serious structural issue. In addition to looking bad, a sinking slab can create an uneven surface that poses a safety hazard such as tripping and falling. The homeowners realized this issue was serious and they wanted DryZone to come out to their property and take a look. DryZone suggested PolyLevel foam and the homeowners were ecstatic about the idea. The concrete was lifted and the homeowners are happy with the out come!
