A sagging girder in Berlin, MD is causing uneven floors and sticking doors in the home so the homeowner turned to DryZone to help resolve the issue. DryZone explained to the owners that in order for them to correctly fix the problem, the crawl space would need to have SmartJacks installed. The DryZone team also recommended the space be cleaned out and fully encapsulated using CleanSpace Technology. The homeowners couldn't wait to have their home protected and agreed to all the projects. DryZone got straight to work.

DryZone's first step was to clear the crawl space of all debris and falling insulation. Next, the team regraded the ground to ensure it was level. The vents were then blocked off from the inside to keep out unconditioned air from the crawl space. CleanSpace Technology liner was installed throughout the entire crawl space including up the walls, and around the piers. Once the liner was installed, SmartJacks were placed in between each pier so a total of five SmartJacks were installed.
