Crawl Space and Basement Waterproofing in Ridgely, MD
Many homes are designed like this one, a basement on one half of the house and crawl space on the other side. For this homeowner, she could tell the crawl space side of the home needed some work. One of the biggest signs of this was sagging floors in the kitchen. When walking from one side of the kitchen to the other, it was clear where the dip in the floor was. DryZone informed her the high humidity in the crawl space and basement caused the floorboards to become weak. The best option for her would be encapsulating the crawl space, sealing it from the basement. DryZone encapsulated and added a small dehumidifier to keep the environment controlled in the crawl space. For the basement side, a support beam was added underneath the kitchen, and any openings in the basement were sealed to prevent moist air from entering.
