The Drying Co. Before & After Photos

Open vents allow the outside into your crawl space. In the winter cold air is pouring into the crawl space, and in the summer hot and humid air floods in. The disheveled and damaged 6-mil vapor barrier has been allowing moisture from the earth to rise into the crawl space. Staining and efflorescence on the foundation walls indicate that moisture has been traveling through the porous cinderblock. The excess moisture in the crawl space has allowed mold to begin to grow on the floor joists. 

As part of the encapsulation system, we installed CleanSpace Vapor Barrier sealing the crawl space off from the earth's moisture. We sealed all vents and insulated the crawl space walls with a continuous R-10 of rigid foam insulation. Preventing outside moisture from entering the crawl space is a big step in controlling the environment. We also installed a dehumidifier to help control the relative humidity in the space and prevent future mold and mildew growth. 

This Yorktown, VA homeowner had old gutters that were overflowing and clogged, damaging the fascia board. 

The Drying Co. removed the old gutters and downspouts, replaced the rotted fascia board, and installed the Gutter Shutter System. The Gutter Shutter System is a seamless metal gutter with a hood, utilizing liquid adhesion to keep debris out and let water in. The system is guaranteed to never clog, sag, or pull away and its unique high back protects your home's fascia. 

This Seaford crawl space had water running through it, after the installation of a drainage system, the crawl space was encapsulated with Spray Foam Insulation. 

This crawl space had standing water, mold, a damaged vapor barrier and falling insulation. Our team encapsulated the space with a new vapor barrier, we added spray foam insulation where necessary and installed a dehumidifier and sump pump. Now this crawl space is sure to be mold and water-free!

This Newport News, VA homeowner had overflowing gutters due to debris from the trees surrounding their home. The gutters were located on the second level of the home, leaving them with the option of very tall ladders or climbing on the roof to clean their gutters. The overflowing gutters caused pooling water around the home's foundation and in the flower beds. 

The old gutters were removed and the Gutter Shutter System replaced them. Gutters were also added to a section of the home that didn't previously have gutters and were allowing the roof to shed water directly to the ground below.
