Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Virginia noticed a damp, musty smell in her home and wanted to get to the root cause of the issue, so she contacted the trusted experts at DryZone to schedule a free inspection. Our System Design Specialist, Don, conducted a thorough inspection and reviewed his findings with the homeowner. During the inspection, Don discovered that the crawlspace humidity was over 68%, which is well above the recommended 55% benchmark.

To address the issue, we installed a full crawlspace encapsulation system that included CleanSpace, DrainageMatting, and a SaniDry Sedona. The SaniDry Sedona has an impressive 100-pints-per-day capacity and can move more than 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute throughout your crawlspace or basement.

Cathy was experiencing musty odors in her home, along with a damp feeling that made her concerned about what was happening below the house. After noticing signs of microbial growth, she reached out to the trusted experts at DryZone to schedule a free estimate. Our System Design Specialist, Derek, conducted a thorough inspection of the crawlspace and explained his findings with Cathy.

During the inspection, Derek found that the humidity in the crawlspace was over 68%, which is well above the recommended 55% benchmark. He also found microbial growth on the floor support system, caused by the excess moisture in the space. With high humidity continuing to affect the crawlspace, it was important to install a solution that would help control moisture and create a healthier environment beneath the home.

To address these issues, we installed DrainageMatting, CleanSpace, and a SaniDry Sedona. DrainageMatting was installed to help create a layer of separation from the ground and support the overall encapsulation system. CleanSpace was then installed to help isolate the home from the earth and reduce the impact of ground moisture on the crawlspace environment. To control the humidity, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which can remove up to 100 pints of water per day and move over 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute throughout the crawlspace.

With these solutions in place, Cathy can now enjoy greater peace of mind knowing her home is better protected from excess moisture, musty odors, and crawlspace humidity issues.

This homeowner in Milford, Delaware would get a musty smell through out her home. The reason for the smell was she had a lot of moisture in her crawlspace due to standing water. She now has a industrial grade dehumidifier that drains into her Sump Pump which discharges 37 gallons of water per minute.

Falling insulation and water intrusion can be a bad mix full of microbial growth. After cleaning the fallen insulation out of the crawl space, DryZone controlled the moisture and placed a strong sump pump to remove ground water as soon as it comes in.
