Selling a home can be an enjoyable encounter when everything is presentable. However, not a lot of people think about the underneath of the home needing to look nice and be functional. This homeowner decided she wanted the basement of her home to be in the best shape for potential buyers looking for a forever home. Along with waterproofing the basement, the foundation was solidified with PowerBraces.
This homeowner called DryZone wanting to seal her crawl space from the cold outside air. She was not aware of the condition of her crawl space but noticed her floors feeling cold in the winter months. A DryZone Design Specialist came to her home and noticed high moisture and some standing water. After encapsulating the crawl space, DryZone installed a dehumidifier and sump pump to keep groundwater moisture as low as possible.
Before selling the home, this homeowner wanted to help improve drainage and do some final repairs in the crawlspace. The wooden floor joists seemed to be rotting from high moisture. After making repairs to the floor joists, DryZone placed a drainage matting to newly leveled dirt, blocking out excess moisture and keeping groundwater drained.
Previously this crawlspace had a thing layer of plastic put down to protect it but this method is generally ineffective and will last a few years at most. To remedy this situation we replaced the plastic with CleanSpace which is significantly more durable and lasts much longer. The CleanSpace along with sealing the vents also helped with insulation allowing the removal of the old and decaying insulation they had previously had.
The Turtle is a crawlspace access system designed with your safety and the safety of your crawlspace in mind. They prevent water leakage and is lockable to prevent anything you don't want there from being in your crawlspace. It is also very strong and durable so you don't have to worry about kids playing near or on it being injured if it is damaged
