DryZone, LLC Before & After Photos

This is a sight we get to see all too often. A homeowner is trying to fix the sagging floors in his home and goes to a big warehouse store for answers. The kid with the vest tells him that this jack is perfect for his problem so he buys one. Unfortunately, these jacks are for temporary use on light loads only. The SmartJack crawl space jack is meant to stay in place and, more importantly, to last.

This home had standing water, very high humidity, and bad smells in the crawlspace. The foundation vents were open and were letting in all the moist air from outside. There was no drainage system or sump pumps to get rid of the ground water. Since neither of those problems were fixed, the mold and mildew was running rampant and spreading smells everywhere. This might seem like a worst case scenario, but it is incredibly common across Delmarva. Most homes with crawlspaces are still unconditioned, or have been done wrong. Once you get the moisture and water under control, things like insects and smells will no longer be a problem. The best thing you can do to fix this is to get a proper encapsulation system complete with a proper dehumidifier. 

These sights are all too common in crawlspaces around in the Talbot, Dorchester, and Wicomico Counties. Really anywhere in the world with a damp crawlspace is in danger of this happening, this home just happens to be in Easton, Maryland. The old fiberglass insulation is wet and heavy with moisture. It will become stringy and even fall completely out in places. The proper way to fix the crawlspace insulation is to remove the old stuff and install something that is meant to be used in that environment. SilverGlo insulation is a fantastic way to insulate your crawlspace. It will never get damaged by water and will keep everything nice and warm.

The Turtl gives this home a cleaner and easier way to get into the crawlspace!

An access well is not enough to keep the water from entering the crawl space.  A new Everlast Crawl Space door will provide a secure, airtight seal to this crawl space entranceway.
