Job Stories

The crawl space in Rising Sun, MD has strong moisture, musty smells, and is causing the homeowners a headache because they are worried about the damage that could occur to their home. Mold is dangerous to not only people with allergies but to homes as well.  After DryZone encapsulated the crawl space, the homeowners no longer smelled musty stenches or felt moisture in the crawl space. 

After living in the home for a few months, this homeowner started noticing the concrete step was sinking in front of the house. Because it was sinking unlevel, the step would collect rainwater against the foundation of the home, eventually causing a leak into the crawl space. With DryZone, the step was lifted and leveled with waterproof foam, protecting the ground underneath from washing away. To complete the job, a sealant was added around the steps and the porch. 

Jennifer B was having issues with cracks in their walls, allowing moisture to leak into the basement. Since this homeowner was looking to sell their house in the next couple years, they wanted to find out what was going on. After researching online, they reached out to the experts at DryZone to figure out what was causing the cracks. Our appointment center coordinator scheduled them for a free inspection. Our System Design Specialist Jamie conducted a free inspection and found that the cause of the moisture was high humidity in the basement.   The major components of this basement waterproofing job included WaterGuard XL and a SaniDry Sedona. The SaniDry Sedona has a whopping 100 pints per day capacity and will move over 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute around your basement or crawlspace.   Jennifer B is happy that they can enjoy a dry basement, and DryZone is excited that they solved this homeowner's moisture issues.

Sagging floors can be the result of high moisture in a crawl space or basement. Wood is a very porous natural substance that absorbs water, holding it like a sponge. When too much water is in the air, it continues absorbing it, becoming softer and softer. For this home, high moisture in the basement had weakened this floor and caused it to sag a significant amount. Heavy appliances and furniture above the basement put increased pressure on the floors. As they become weaker, the pressure becomes too much. If the proper steps are not taken, this floor can eventually fail. This homeowner needed a stronger system to support his floor and a dehumidifier to keep the humidity down in the basement, protecting the wooden floor joists. DryZone suggested a SmartJack to support the floors and a SaniDry XT dehumidifier to dehumidify the large basement.
