Before & After Photos

This beautiful home in McDaniel, MD is experiencing ugly problems in the crawl space. Some of the issues consist of mold, moisture, and water but the crawl space can not handle these problems without the help from DryZone. DryZone received the call from the homeowners in McDaniel, MD and immediately came out to inspect the property. The first thing we noticed was the moldy odor smell coming through the vents and into the home, which started from the crawl space. This issue is very common because of the moisture in the crawl space that causes mold to grow on the organic materials.

The homeowners in McDaniel, MD are not happy with the outcome of their crawl space and they want to make a change right away before it is too late. DryZone came to the home to check out the issues and discovered that the crawl space definitely needed to be encapsulated. We suggested CleanSpace interior liner, water drainage mat, TripleSafe sump pump, and dehumidifier because all of these products will keep the crawl space dry and clean all of the time. 

Encapsulating the crawl space is the best way to keep the area dry and clean. The homeowners saw DryZone's previous work with crawl space encapsulations and knew right away what had to be done.  As you can see in the image, the crawl space is experiencing falling insulation because the moisture in the crawl space is too strong. Insulation is not made to last the lifespan of the home; however, an encapsulated crawl space is made to last. The homeowners knew this was the perfect opportunity to fix their crawl space for good, which is when they contacted DryZone and now their crawl space is in the best condition. 

This crawl space was encapsulated by DryZone in 2011. We show you so many pictures of freshly done, beautiful and pristine crawl spaces. These pictures show that when DryZone protects your home with a crawl space encapsulation, that is a protection which will last throughout the years. The original encapsulation was done in 2011. The Before picture was taken in 2014. The after pictures was taken just in 2017. This crawl space is proving that an encapsulation done by DryZone stands the test of time!

This home in the town of Bozman was constantly wet. Instead of the typical dirt crawlspace, this home was built with a concrete floor in the crawlspace. A concrete floor will protect the crawlspace from moisture better than a dirt floor, but it still isn't waterproof or sealed. Concrete is basically a very hard sponge, meaning there are a lot of very tiny holes in the floor. These holes will let water through when it builds up under the slab. When DryZone waterproofs a concrete crawlspace, we treat is much like a leaky basement. Drainage pipes are installed to direct ground water off to the sump pump. In this particular house, the amount of pipes installed meant the homeowner needed three separate pumps. When you have a long section of drainage pipe between pumps, the water tends not to move as easily. Think of it like a mountain stream, at one end it could be a raging rapid and at the other end it might be a tiny trickle. To keep the system working efficiently, the homeowner and designer laid out a plan for over 300 feet of pipe and three independent pumps.
