This Bethany Beach, DE homeowner reached out to the experts at DryZone after a recent home purchase because they found several issues in their crawlspace including hanging insulation and moisture. The experts at DryZone removed debris and insulation then regraded for drainage. To help alleviate the moisture issues in the crawl space we installed CleanSpace on the crawlspace floor. We installed a SandiDry Sedona to ensure the relative humidity stays below 55% so that there is no microbial growth.
DryZone sells a variety of pumps. Coming in many styles and functions. A home owner had called us because she needed a new pump bad. Her old one was overflowing and it just was not keeping up like when she had first got it years before.
The purpose of the piers are to hold up your home, but those piers can cause ground water and air to get in your crawl space if not wrapped properly when encapsulating a crawl space. DryZone can make sure those piers are correctly wrapped with the vapor barrier to keep any moisture or water from coming in.
This home had an old sheet metal door on the crawlspace entrance. It was rusted and warped and provided almost no protection from the elements. Also, the ground was sloped towards the entry and so when it rained the water would flow right towards the door. The brand new Everlast crawlspace door will stand up to the elements and never rust or warp. The new shroud and bed of stone will help to keep the rain water away from the door and out of the crawlspace.
This home in Queen Anne, MD was a unique situation. It was basically an old crawlspace that someone dug out years ago to make a cellar. The walls were caving in and dirt was everywhere. DryZone went in and built a retaining wall. We then used a combination of basement waterproofing and crawlspace encapsulation strategies to transform the space into something usable.
