Job Stories

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.

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. 

This homeowner in St. Michaels recently purchased their home and discovered that over a foot of water in their crawl space. They had used DryZone in the past, so they knew where to turn. After the inspection it turned out that their existing sump pump had failed. The right move for this homeowner was to encapsulate the stone floor crawl space with CleanSpace and install a new SmartSump. As well to make sure their home was dry and safe they installed a Turtl. 

This homeowner contacted DryZone knowing that they had an issue with their crawl space. Years of moisture in the crawl space had caused the insulation to fall. What thy didn’t know was the extent the damage the moisture had on their crawl space. The inspection took place in October, a month with relatively low humidity, In their crawl space the humidity levels were over 70. This is a perfect breeding ground for mold and is the reason their insulation was falling. Going into the winter months, the failing insulation on their floor would have provided little warmth an comfort and could cause higher heating bills. This homeowner knew they needed to take action and make a change. Instead of keeping the existing insulation or putting up new fiberglass insulation, the homeowner made the switch to SilverGlo insulation. This will keep the crawl space at the same temperature as the inside of the house - without heating or cooling the crawlspace. It will also make sure heat doesn’t leave the home through the floors. These homeowner also encapsulated their crawl space with CleanSpace - keeping it dry and clean for years to come. They also knew that they needed to replace their old sump pump with a new SmartSump and IceGuard.
