Job Stories

This home in Showell, MD needs a lot of help in their crawl space. The amount of water damage in the crawl space is enough to cause a serious problem for the homeowners. They contacted DryZone for a free inspection because they were lost on what to do next and they hear about us through a friend in the area.  After contacting DryZone, we were able to repair their crawl space and get rid of the water damage, awful smell, and the mold. How did DryZone do this? By installing a water drainage mat, dehumidifier, and removal of debris and insulation.

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. Dryzone was able to help these homeowners by installing a dehumidifier, water drainage mats, and wall liners to the crawl space. The DryZone team also removed the debris and insulation that covered the crawl space floor. 

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. 

We all know that mold is a very, very bad thing. It's another to know that your crawlspace is affecting the very air you breathe in your home!

This homeowner in Berlin, MD checked their crawlspace time and again and knew that there was a minor water problem on one side of the home.  When their doors started to stick inside, they knew that the crawlspace was probably the issue. With a call to DryZone, they found out they needed a little more than just a vapor barrier on the ground. Our System Design Specialist took measurements, pictures and even used special equipment to see what the relative humidity percentage was under the home. Our team member also checked for signs of mold and rot.  Before starting the project, we removed the batt insulation and some debris from under the home. We then fully encapsulated the crawlspace with CleanSpace liner, installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and installed a condensate pump. Not only does this homeowner have the peace of mind about their crawlspace, they also have annual service maintenance available every year to check up on the equipment!      

This homeowner in Berlin, MD was tired of the musty smell and mold in their home. They called DryZone to come out and investigate their crawlspace to see what could be done. We used CleanSpace liner, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and a TripleSafe sump pump to fix this crawlspace like new!  This homeowner now says that the mold and musty smell are no longer in their home and it has been life changing!

Flooding crawl spaces can cause foundations to become damaged over time. This Berlin, MD homeowner noticed their crawl space needed some repair and was worried about the foundation. After a free inspection from DryZone, it was discovered that the water and high humidity caused some sagging in the floors. DryZone did a full encapsulation of the crawl space to bring down the moisture before installing Smart Jacks to lift and stabilize the floors above. 

If floors become unlevel slowly over time, it can possibly go unnoticed. This Berlin, MD homeowner did not notice her kitchen floors sloping but quickly noticed her windows sticking when she opened them for some fresh air. She had her home assessed and was informed the sticking window was a sign of foundation failure. She called the experts at DryZone, wondering what else she was not noticing about her home's foundation. DryZone inspected the crawl space and noticed high moisture was causing the wooden floorboards to become weak and sag 1/2 an inch. While this measurement was small, it could quickly become worse. After inspection, DryZone scheduled a team to level the floors and strengthen them for good!

The homeowner reached out to us because they were tired of dealing with their sagging and bouncy floors. Their biggest concern was not only the floors caving in, but eventually the collapse of the foundation/home. After inspecting the area above and beneath the floors, we recommended a permanent fix. This included smartjack supports and installation of a supplemental beam to ensure the the floor would not only be level and supported for the foreseeable future, but to give the homeowner peace of mind about the stability of their floors/home.
