The homeowners in Wittman, MD loved the idea of encapsulating their crawl space but they did not have enough information on how the process worked. After visiting dryzone.com, the homeowners gave DryZone a call and asked about our encapsulation and booked an appointment for a free estimate. The homeowners love the encapsulation that DryZone installed and do not have to worry about their crawl space any longer.
Most crawl spaces have a black sheet that was initially put into the crawl space when the home is built. The homeowners would like a full encapsulation in the crawl space becasue they no longer want to worry about what may occur to their crawl space and home in the future. It is best to prevent the problem ahead of time.
Having access to your crawl space is great for checking on your home's health. For this homeowner, they wanted to make sure regular maintenance could be done under their home without issue. They had a crawl space entrance, but it was not large enough and leaked water whenever it rained. A Turtl crawl space entrance was a perfect addition to their home because it was air-tight and made entering the crawl space easy.
The homeowners first contacted DryZone because of the smells they experienced after being gone on vacation for a few weeks. The house was closed up all that time and, with nowhere for the musty air to leave the home, the smell and moist air lingered and caused a foul odor throughout the house.

The homeowners in Chester, MD are unhappy with the outcome of their crawl space, which is why they contacted DryZone to encapsulate the area. A crawl space must have dry air with no moisture in order to prevent mold from growing and to keep the crawl space clean. The interior CleanSpace liner helps prevent mold from growing as well as water from ruining the crawl space. Also, the TripleSafe sump pump is installed to drain the water out of the crawl space in order to keep it dry. After these products were installed, the homeowners no longer had to worry about the crawl space.
