Crawlspace entrances are usually very small and hard to get in to. The metal shrouds and doors will rust and the open bottom lets in ground water. The Turtl is a great addition to any crawlspace. It is made of solid, heavy duty plastic and will never rot, mold, or rust. It has a solid bottom so that no ground water will come up from underneath. My favorite part is that you can easily get in and out of the crawlspace after installing a Turtl. This makes it infinitely better when replacing ducts or a well pump or any other equipment under your home.
This Wicomico County home had all kinds of problems. This insulation was hanging from moisture and the ground was very wet. The whole environment was like a swamp. DryZone went in and pulled out the nasty insulation and cleaned the space. After the prep work, the crews installed the heavy duty CleanSpace vapor barrier and a SaniDry dehumidifier (not shown). This crawl space is now ready to dry out and stay that way. In the near future the homeowner can expect to notice better smells, warmer floors, and a healthier home.
Most older homes that have sump pumps installed in the basement need updated equipment. The old pumps are either broken or aren't strong enough. Many times the hole itself isn't large enough and actually contributes to the sump pump getting over used. DryZone uses a much larger sump pit than the average home currently has. The container is sealed so the smells and water vapor won't escape. Since the container is bigger, the pump takes longer to turn on and pumps out more water in one cycle. Short cycling, when the pump turns on and off in a small amount of time, will destroy a sump pump.
One of the support beams had begun to crack under the pressure of the house it was supporting. To fix this a new steel girder was installed and SmartJacks where placed underneath to help distribute the pressure on the girder.
This musty crawl space was taken from complete disarray to a beautiful space by DryZone.
