One part of the home that is often overlooked is the crawlspace but that doesn't mean that it can be completely ignored. Most if not all of the air in our house will have at some point entered your crawlspace. This means that if you have a wet moldy basement the spores will spread through out your house and have negative impacts on your health. DryZone offers efficient solutions to this problem which have the goal of making your crawlspace mold free to do this it is important to bring the humidity down. The number one way of doing this is with the use of a dehumidifier and the installation of CleanSpace. The clean space will prevent water moisture leaking through the walls and rising from the dirt. The dehumidifier will suck water out of the air and both of these combined will eliminate the mold in your crawlspace.
This home in Newark, DE had a real issue with the basement leaking. When DryZone's inspector Johnny Scarborough arrived, he quickly saw something the needed to be fixed. Most of the downspouts around the house emptied onto a driveway or sidewalk, but not the one on the back of the house. This downspout drained only a foot or so from the house. Basically it was creating a funnel to direct the rain to one spot of the home. The downspouts out front hit the concrete driveway and drained away. The force of a heavy rain coming from this area was almost the same as a fire hose directed right at the foundation. Is it any surprise that the basement leaked and flooded really bad in this area? By extending the downspout out and away from the home, the rain water won't cause such a problem. It is a great way to help out your basement drainage system.
DryZone was able to create a safe walking area for this homeowner.
