Encapsulating the crawl space is the best way to keep the area dry and clean. The homeowners saw DryZone's previous work with crawl space encapsulations and knew right away what had to be done.  As you can see in the image, the crawl space is experiencing falling insulation because the moisture in the crawl space is too high. Insulation is not made to last the lifespan of the home; however, an encapsulated crawl space is made to last. The homeowners knew this was the perfect opportunity to fix their crawl space for good, which is when they contacted DryZone and now their crawl space is in the best condition. 

A routine HVAC maintenance appointment was scheduled for this McDaniel, MD home. After the appointment, the technician approached the homeowner and pointed out some concerning factors in the crawl space. One of the most concerning factors was some microbial growth on the floor joists. This shocking revelation made the homeowner wonder what else they had wrong in their home. The HVAC technician referred them to the experts at DryZone to control the moisture and make the crawl space an unpleasant place for this growth to happen. DryZone informed the homeowner that mold needs three things to grow; moisture, food, and oxygen. When you control the moisture in the air, you destroy a vital part of their life. After encapsulating this crawl space, the concern for microbial growth quickly became a thing of the past. 

This homeowner gave us a call to help refresh the pool area, patio and basketball court with our polyaspartic concrete floor coating.  Before the coating was started, we prepped the surface with an industrial grinder. After we prepped the surface, we filled in any cracks with NexusPro joint sealant. Then, the tinted base coat is applied to the concrete. We then aggresively coat the concrete with a vinyl flake, which comes in a variety of colors to choose from. After this is fully broadcast over the whole surface, we blow off any excess flake and disgard of what is not needed. We then apply a clear top coat which seals in all the flake.  Our concrete coating transforms outdoor spaces to look like new in no time! If you have an old concrete patio, walkway or even a basement that needs a lift, give us a call!

High humidity under this Claiborne, MD home began to attract dust mites and other insects. Soon, exterminator calls became a normal thing for this homeowner. After having conversations with friends, they learned insects thrive in moist areas, especially homes, and eat off floorboards. They knew they needed to properly seal away any gaps and lower humidity to make their crawl space less welcoming for pests. DryZone encapsulated the crawl space by sealing the space between the home and the foundation. Once these spaces were sealed, a dehumidifier was added to control the environment. Dust mites and spiders are a thing of the past for this tightly sealed crawl space. 

DryZone has experienced all types of crawl spaces. Some that are full of water, mold, moisture or debris. Others may have falling insulation or a musty mold smell. DryZone is prepared to find solutions for all types of crawl spaces! Look at the difference between the two crawl spaces. What an awesome encapsulation DryZone made for these homeowners! 

Crawl Spaces are not made to store water, mold, moisture, and debris. This area under your home is supposed to be dry, mold free, and clean without debris! The homeowners were experiencing these problems in the crawl space and called DryZone to the rescue. DryZone came to the home for a free inspection and came across the issues in the crawl space. Time for a crawl space encapsulation!   

A typical crawl space has a thin 6-millimeter sheet of plastic on the dirt ground with falling insulation and debris. Why keep your crawl space this way? Instead, you can contact DryZone to encapsulate the area and turn your crawl space into a dry and moldy free area!  These homeowners were extremely happy and now have peace of mind knowing their crawl space is dry and will not cause troubles for them in the future. Especially on rainy days! 

Inground pools can be a great addition to a home. However, with concrete pool decks, you always run the risk of the slabs shifting. With people getting in and out of the pool, water spills on the concrete, sinking between the seams and washing away dirt underneath. As a result, the concrete slabs become uneven, causing dangerous tripping hazards. And because the pool lining can be sensitive, chipping away and repouring concrete can become messy! DryZone repaired this concrete pool deck by drilling a small hole in the concrete slab and injecting a hardening foam underneath. The waterproof foam expands, lifting the concrete slab back to its original height, and the seams are sealed with a water-resistant sealant. Now, this pool is ready for summer!

Inground pools and concrete pool decks are a perfect addition to a backyard. However, over time, pool water can wash away dirt underneath concrete slabs and cause the slabs to sink. DryZone was able to repair these concrete slabs by injecting a hardening foam called PolyLevel, and sealing the seams with a waterproof sealant. 

The homeowners in Bozman, MD are extremely satisfied with their completed deck behind their beautiful home. There are no longer cracks and sinking concrete on their deck for them to worry about. DryZone injected the PolyLevel foam to repair the concrete and the area looks brand new!  As you can see from the pictures, the concrete deck was an eye-sore for the homeowners. Why should anyone be embarrassed about their home? Now they have no reason to worry about the appearance or safety issues because DryZone repaired their worries with PolyLevel!
