The crawl space of a Frederica, DE home had such high humidity it was at 70.7 degrees. When the humidity reached that high it caused the humid air to moisten the joists and wooden beams causing them to mold and fall apart. DryZone came out and was able to gain back the right temperature a crawl space should be; under 65 degrees fahrenheit. In no time at all we were able to restore the home and seal it so that the crawl space wouldn't get wet. How we did this was place in the CleanSpace Liner; it's a water barrier. Then, we were able to place in the humidifer which this is used for putting some moist air so that in the summer the crawl space could keep cool.
Clean walls and floor, dryer air, cleaner air, and less mold and mildew are just some of the benefits to drying out a crawlspace. This home is a great example of what can happen after DryZone installs a moisture control system.
This crawl space recieved a new life with CleanSpace!
This crawl space quickly became a part of the home that was avoided. In rainy seasons it flooded and in cold seasons it made the floors cold. This homeowner felt like there was nothing more to this crawl space beside that. However, After a while, the crawl space became messier and started to release a foul odor. This homeowner knew they could not avoid the problem underneath of his home any longer. He called DryZone to do a full inspection of the crawl space to see what the problem was and how it could be solved. DryZone reduced the moisture by encapsulating the crawl space with CleanSpace, and adding a sump pump to remove groundwater. With the moisture reduced, things like microbial growth that caused the foul odor were gone!
This homeowner in Crisfield, MD had their crawlspace encapsulated with CleanSpace, had the inside vents blocked, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier installed and a new EverLast door installed. This crawlspace is ready for any kind of weather in any season!
