Job Stories

Having a home to get away to on weekends can be a great investment. However, some homes come with a list of needed repairs once you own them. This homeowner and his spouse purchased this getaway beach house and quickly noticed sagging floors and high moisture. Looking underneath of the home quickly exposed wet hanging insulation, absorbing groundwater up to the floorboards. After prolonged exposure to moisture, microbial growth started to feed on wood and insulation and spread across the crawl space. To protect the investment of their getaway home, this homeowner called the crawl space and foundation experts at DryZone to reduce moisture and stabilize the foundation.  For the foundation to be properly repaired, the crawl space had to be dried out and encapsulated to prevent high moisture in the future. After encapsulating with a 20 mm reinforced vapor barrier, a dehumidifier was installed to keep moisture regulated in changing weather. Once the environment was controlled, the foundation could be stabilized with SmartJacks to keep the sagging floors strong and eventually lift them to their original height. 

A homeowner in North East, MD, faced persistent water leaks into his crawlspace, leading to high humidity and unwanted microbial growth. Having seen DryZone's impressive work during their home search, they knew just who to contact for help. They reached out to the team at DryZone, where our System Design Specialist, Tom, conducted a free inspection and discovered that the crawlspace's relative humidity exceeded 65%.   To address these issues, we implemented a crawlspace encapsulation system featuring key components such as a SmartSump, UltraSump, SaniDry Sedona, CleanSpace, and Hydrolink. The SaniDry Sedona was particularly crucial, as it effectively maintains humidity levels below 55% in the crawlspace. With an impressive capacity of 100 pints per day, it circulates over 300 cubic feet of dry air every minute, ensuring a healthier environment.   Thanks to DryZone's solutions, this North East, MD homeowner can now rest easy knowing their crawlspace is safe and protected. We are thrilled to have assisted them in resolving their crawlspace issues for good!

In Kennedyville, MD the crawl space is experiencing a large amount of water damage, which is causing mold to grow.

Basements have a reputation for being dark and damp. For this homeowner, he wanted to change the appearance and feel of his basement so it could be a functional space in his home. To seal the basement walls, DryZone installed BrightWall wall panels to not only brighten the space but to guide water into a perimeter drain. The perimeter drain collects and guides water to a nearby sump pump. 

Crawl space moisture can negatively affect the people living in a home. This Queen Anne, MD family had a son that was allergic to mold and microbial growth, so their priority was keeping him safe. DryZone did mold remediation underneath the home before encapsulating. With an encapsulation and dehumidifier, the home is blocked from moisture and microbial growth has nothing to feed on to live.
