Are you experiencing moisture in your crawl space? If so, DryZone has the answer for you. Our team loves to help homeowners solve their moisture and mold problems as well as water damage and debris issues.

What a beautiful difference this encapsulation made for these homeowners! 

Pool decks can sink after years of water washing away the dirt underneath. This homeowner noticed some areas of her pool deck were sinking over time. To combat the sinking, she called DryZone to lift and level the slabs as well as seal the seams. With waterproof PolyLevel, this Conowingo, MD homeowner doesn't have to worry about future sinking!

A homeowner in Conowingo, MD recently purchased her home and is now fearful that her foundation is failing. The basement is a "finished" basement, and the homeowner is also concerned about the belongings in the space being destroyed because of the failing foundation. Unsure of what to do, the homeowner called the experts at DryZone. Immediately an inspector was sent to the site to assess the basement and the concerns of the homeowner. Upon inspection, the DryZone expert recommended that the basement be stabilized using 18 3" Helicle Piers to ensure the space would be protected from potential collapsing. The homeowner was ecstatic to know that there is a solution to the problem and looks forward to working with the DryZone team to accomplish the job.    

Concrete is a great surface for sidewalks, porches and decks. But slab concrete is prone to sinking when there is settling in the ground beneath it. You may think that this means that you will need to remove the existing concrete and pour a new concrete slab. This is not the case when you work with DryZone. We can inject PolyLevel beneath the existing slab and raise it to its intended level in the matter of mere hours instead of the days or weeks that a new concrete slab would take. This homeowner was able to welcome people into his home with a level entry that he could be proud of.

Water front living is best appreciated outdoors. That is exactly what this homeowner wanted. The challenges of living on water front property, such as high water tables and potential flooding, can be overcome with the use of helical piers. This is exactly the solution that Team DryZone utilized for this homeowner along the banks of Pennys Shoal off of the Chesapeake Bay. Helical Piers drive deep into the soil to the stable soil level which can support the weight of this deck. Now this homeowner can enjoy the view off of their back deck in a safe and secure way.

This home in Chestertown is located close to the Chester River. Known for being beautiful and pristine and also for the high moisture content in the soil. This older home was built with the open vent crawl space system with a dirt floor. Allowing the humid air to stay in the crawl space and moist air to rise from the ground. Over time this helps to create an environment for mold to grow and thrive and then causing the wood in the crawl space to rot. When you start to notice sagging floors then you know you already have problem. Eventually, the floors might even give way causing larger issues. The fix for this is to sister the joists or to replace with a new beam. Once we have added the new beam we will then support the new beam and the original floor with SmartJacks. Because they are not made of organic material mold will not break down the SmartJacks. The best protection that you can have against wood rot is to encapsulate your crawl space and then use a dehumidifier. This will ensure that mold will no longer grow in the crawl space. 

The homeowners in Chester, MD are unhappy with the outcome of their crawl space, which is why they contacted DryZone to encapsulate the area. A crawl space must have dry air with no moisture in order to prevent mold from growing and to keep the crawl space clean. The interior CleanSpace liner helps prevent mold from growing as well as water from ruining the crawl space. Also, the TripleSafe sump pump is installed to drain the water out of the crawl space in order to keep the crawl space dry. After these products were installed, the homeowners no longer had to worry about the crawl space. 

This apartment complex in Chester, MD is experiencing problems with their concrete sidewalk and porch. The best solution for the sinking concrete is PolyLevel because the foam is a lightweight material that will not wash out because it is waterproofed. There is a long-term warranty on the poly, the installation is a clean and easy process, and there is minimal patchwork, which creates a uniform appearance. 

In every crawl space, the moisture in the air should be under control, water should not be a problem, and mold should not grow. In Rock Hall, MD this was not the case. The homeowners wanted to make a change, which is why they called DryZone. DryZone installed a dehumidifier, water drainage mat, and interior CleanSpace wall and floor liners. Now that is what a crawl space should look like! We are glad the homeowners are satisfied with the new area under their home.
