Crusty, musty smells in this crawl space in Hebron, MD were causing frustrations to the homeowners. The wife was adamant the husband call DryZone and he obliged. After inspecting the crawl space, the DryZone experts explained to the homeowners that the crawl space was suffering from extremely high levels of humidity and mildew. The experts recommended that the space be fully encapsulated and protected with a dehumidifier. The homeowners agreed. The crawl space was cleared of all debris, insulation, moisture, and mildew. The ground was regarded, the vents were blocked, and CleanSpace Technology was installed throughout the crawl space including the walls. For ultimate protection, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier paired with a condensate pump was also installed. Thanks to DryZone, this crawl space is "brand new". No more musty smells. The homeowners were more than happy!  Call DryZone today to schedule your FREE inspection and estimate!

The store front in Bridgeville, DE is experiencing sinking concrete issues. This is a serious tripping hazard for customers that are trying to enter or exit the store.

Brian called DryZone after seeing photos of crawlspace encapsulations. He stated he would like his crawlspace to look as clean and bright as the ones he had seen online. After a free inspection, the inspector noticed some debris and a ripped vapor barrier.  DryZone then wrapped the crawlspace in CleanSpace in order to enclose the walls and floor. In order to drain out any ground water, a TripleSafe Sump Pump was also installed with a drainage pipe to the outside of the home. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was added to protect any exposed wood from collecting moisture. 

HVAC systems can cause high moisture when they have condensation or "sweat" on the units and duct work. When a crawl space is improperly sealed, high humidity can cause higher amounts of condensation, which in turn increases humidity more! This homeowner was informed his HVAC system was showing signs of microbial growth due to high moisture. After a free inspection, DryZone sealed the crawl space with CleanSpace and added a dehumidifier to control the environment. 

This homeowner reached out to us with concerns about the stability of his floors. It had gotten so bad that some of the doors and windows in his home are not working. Our team went out to take a look and recommended the installation of smartjack supports (up to 5ft tall) and smartjack XT supports (up to 8-12 ft high) to support the floor joist system above. These smartjacks will lift the foundation and ensure that it is level permanently. 

In Magnolia, DE the front porch of this home is sinking. The problem is continuing to grow worse and the homeowners want a solution right away.

You are able to clearly see the concrete slab that was raised because of the PolyLevel foam injection. 

Who would have thought this would happen?? Our house isn't that old!  Many homeowners say these things when they notice their concrete shifting and becoming uneven on their property. Over time, what was once level and strong weakens and fails, but why? Concrete is strong and durable and is used from airport runways to the sidewalks in front of your home. But eventually, concrete can crack and settle. Sometimes, the soil below your slabs is poorly compacted, other times it is too dry or wet. Your weather, type of soil in your location, and how the concrete slab site was prepared all affect your concrete slabs on your property.  Concerned about your concrete? Call us to schedule an appointment, which includes a free estimate!    

Before selling their home, this Magnolia homeowner wanted to insulate and waterproof their basement. After removing old and falling insulation, DryZone installed a thick Foamax insulation board and covered it with CleanSpace to seal the room from moisture. 

Knowing the damages water can inflict on a basement encouraged this homeowner to protect her home. She wanted to nip the problem in the bud before it became a much larger issue in the future. DryZone's Design Specialist performed a full inspection and understood the concerns of the homeowner. She informed the Design Specialist, "my basement is in great condition, and I want to keep it that way!" DryZone installed a trench drain system around the perimeter of the basement leading to a TripleSafe sump pump. To maintain the moisture level, the walls of the basement were wrapped in CleanSpace and a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed. Now this homeowner has peace of mind knowing her home is protected from future moisture issues.
