Before & After Photos

This home in Lewes had very high humidity in the crawl space. So much so that the insulation was starting to fall down. DryZone was able to help the homeowner fix this problem before it got worse. The CleanSpace crawl space vapor barrier was installed to keep the water vapor in the dirt from getting into the air. Some of the ruined insulation was removed, but the homeowner chose to leave the majority of it in place. One thing that DryZone does well, other than drying out crawl spaces and basements, is listening to our homeowners. Our inspectors make recommendations, not demands. 

A lot of people like to use their crawl space to store beach chairs, seasonal clothing, boogie boards, or extra siding. What happens to those things in a wet and musty crawl space? You might as well just throw them in the garbage. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier and a proper dehumidifier can save your belongings. Mold can grow very easily in an open dirt crawl space, so cleaning it up and drying it out makes perfect sense.

This crawl space in Lewes had a lot of open and empty pits where the ground was uneven. The homeowner was pleased to learn that the ground could be leveled with gravel before the CleanSpace system was installed. If the ground wasn't leveled there would always be a danger of falling into a hole while crawling around under the house. 

Open and exposed dirt in a crawl space is never good for the house. Even if your crawl space appears to be dry, there will always be water in the earth that seeps up and evaporates into the air. When the humidity gets too high it helps mold grow. No one wants to see mold in their crawl space. The CleanSpace system with its thick vapor barrier and sealed seams eliminates the majority of this moisture. What you are left with is a clean, dry, and healthy environment. 

This home in Lewes, Delaware only had a partial liner that was covering the crawlspace dirt. Exposed dirt can add a continuous stream of water vapor into a home. This home now has a full encapsulated crawlspace which creates a barrier between the ground and the floor joists.
