Job Stories

The homeowner has used this home as a beach house and recently moved in permanently. They would like their crawlspace cleaned up and fully renovated so that it is protected from humidity, microbial growth and kept dry. We recommended that they fully encapsulate the crawlspace to keep the area protected for the foreseeable future. We also created an opening under the rear addition and built a foamax wall. Lastly, we added 2 downspout extensions to the rear of the addition to keep water away from the home.

The Homeowner was in their crawlspace and noticed a few cracks in the wall. Thankfully none of them were leaking and no water has made its way into the crawlspace/floor area. They gave us a call to come take a look to see what we could do to help give them peace of mind before something were to happen. After taking a look, we realized we could fix the problem using our Flexispan crack repair system.   Flexispan is a three-part process that begins with the application of a flexible sealant. we then apply a strip of porous foam over the crack. Lastly, an impermeable membrane is applied to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. This solution allows any future seepage of water move down the wall and into the basements perimeter drainage system without been seen.

A home in Berlin, MD had a crawl space that needed major repair. The homeowners were uncertain of where to start or even what to do but had heard of DryZone and their ability to restore crawl spaces. The homeowners didn't hesitate to call the experts at DryZone and an inspector was immediately sent to the home.
