DryZone, LLC Before & After Photos

When your floors start to sag the best way to fix them is to add more support. Many people try to jack their house up with simple bottle jacks. These are not strong enough to last a long time. If you look on the box, it will say its for temporary, light duty only. Most times they do more harm then good.

When you have to go into the crawlspace for any reason, whether its for water problems or to fix the HVAC ducts, you will probably have a tough time getting through the small opening. A Turtl is perfect for upgrading your crawlspace doorway. Its solid "one piece" construction makes it water tight and air tight. This helps to keep the humidity in the crawlspace down as well as helps to stop water from getting in through the door. Not to mention the Turtl won't rattle around in the wind like that old rusted crawlspace door.

This family had a wet and nasty crawl space due to the fact they didn't have something strong protecting the access way. After DryZone came to take care of the damage, they showed them the Turtl, a clean and convenient access entryway system. The homeowners decided it was the perfect finishing touch for their crawl space. 

These pictures aren't exactly "before & after" but more like middle and end. They shows how the WaterGuard basement perimeter drainage system is installed. This system is a subfloor system that rests on top of the concrete footing, rather than in the dirt next to it. Many other waterprooofing systems used by other companies will put a pipe about a foot away from the wall and in the dirt next to the footer. One thing to keep in mind is that the footer is what holds up the wall. If water is moving around in a pipe next to it, the dirt could easily get moved as well. That could weaken the structure of the wall, causing it to sink or crack. WaterGuard avoids all of that by essentially making the pipe a part of the floor. It is out of the dirt for another reason, less chance of clogging.

Lots of standing water contributed to the high humidity in this crawl space. Some of the air ducts actually got ruined because they fell into pools of water. DryZone installed some drainage pipes and sump pumps to combat the ground water. After the water management system was in place, the crew began on the vapor barrier. CleanSpace is a strong and durable crawl space liner that can stand up to almost any daily activity you can think of. Plumbers, electricians, and pest control companies won't hurt it by doing their work. In fact, they often joke with us about how relieved they are to see a DryZone sticker when they climb in because they know they won't get dirty while working.
