Vic had a home that was not their full-time residence, and each time they visited they were met with a musty smell as soon as they walked in. Wanting the home to feel like a getaway instead of being greeted by unpleasant odors, they contacted the trusted experts at DryZone to schedule a free estimate. Our System Design Specialist conducted a thorough inspection and went over his findings with Vic.

A few of the major components of this crawlspace encapsulation included DrainageMatting, CleanSpace, and a Turtl access well. DrainageMatting was installed first over the dirt crawlspace floor to create a drainage space for any water to flow beneath the liner. CleanSpace was then installed over top. CleanSpace is a heavy 20-mil-thick liner that helps brighten the crawlspace while also allowing homeowners to easily spot dirt, debris, insects, or other issues. It is made with a blend of high-density polyethylene for puncture resistance, low-density polyethylene for flexibility, and polyester cord reinforcement for tear resistance.

Thanks to these solutions, Vic can now have peace of mind knowing the home is better protected from high humidity and musty odors.
