This crawl space in Showell, Marlyand was a disaster. The homeowners experienced mold in their crawl space as well as debris and unwanted animals such as mice. The mold started to increasingly grow and they did not know how to solve this problem. At that moment, they called DryZone for help.

The crawl space in Showell, Maryland had mold and water damage. These homeowners came to DryZone with a few concerns becasue they were planning on selling there home but once they saw the crawl space under their home, they decided they needed a little extra help to get the home on the market.  The first step DryZone took was installing a water drainage mat into the crawl space. Next was installing the wall liner throughout the crawl space as well as a dehumidifier. With all three of these products installed in the crawl space, there is no reason why these homeowners would not be able to see their home! 

Too much water in the crawl space made this homeowner worry about the health of their home. DryZone suggested a strong sump pump to pump out groundwater when it floods the crawl space. 

Sometimes, you live with some things for a little too long. At least that's what this homeowner in Gwynn Oak, MD thought of their uneven front walkway. The concrete slabs became more harmful than helpful to get to the front door and it was time for a change!  After consulting with our System Design Specialist, they decided to lift and level their slabs and seal the cracks to prolong the concrete walkway instead of having to replace it. Lifting the slabs with PolyLevel, a polymer foam, fills the voids underneath between the soil and the slab. The foam is waterproof and won't wash away like mudjacking, another common technique, would. PolyLevel provides a quick, clean and permanent same-day installation. Our NexusPro joint and crack sealant was also installed in different places of their walkway to prevent further cracking. Our crack repair prevents water from weakening supporting soil, stands up to harsh weather, is UV ray resistant and is installed in just one day!  If you have concrete problems, give us a call to find out more!   

This homeowner contacted DryZone knowing that they had an issue under their home in their crawl space.

When foundations settle, they sink into the ground below them. When this happens, it typically occurs unevenly and one side can settle faster than another side. As a result, openings can form between foundation bricks and sill plates. The opening that is created allows air to enter the crawl space. Air entering a crawl space is full of moisture and actually attaches to insulation, causing it to become heavy and fall down. This moisture can also feed microbial growth that clings to wooden joists. DryZone suggested a full clean of fiberglass insulation as well as sealing those gaps between the foundation and sill plate.
