Their employees even decided to donate their time on the project. DryZone has committed to one Habitat Home in each county that it serves, which includes all of Delaware and the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

Vapor barrier do's and dont's

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 12:52:20 -0500

Think of your house as a living organism. Like your own body.

It is a big system, comprised of smaller systems that must all function properly and work together, or the consequences can be devastating.

If it makes sense to consult a specialist, rather than your primary care doctor to solve a problem with a specific system, it makes sense to seek the help of a specialist rather than a general contractor when a specific area of your home is at risk.

That couldn't be truer than when the problem area is the crawl space.
General contractors, some home inspectors and your neighborhood handy man will most likely recommend the same treatment for the crawl space: generic 6 mil poly sheet covering the ground to prevent evaporation, and open vents to allow air in the craw space.

Yet, everyday, we at DryZone, LLC, and the crews of hundreds of dealers in the Basement Systems Network pull out miles of filthy and shredded 6 mil sheets out of moldy decaying vented crawl spaces all across America.

The evidence that vented crawl spaces combined with ground vapor barriers are a bad idea but, it seems to happen almost everywhere. The picture in this post illustrates the results of this treatment: moisture buildup on top of the barrier, moldy insulation falling off the ceiling.

Generic 6 mil ground vapor barriers do nothing, or very little to control crawl space moisture, because moisture doesn't come just from the ground immediately underneath your crawl space. It comes from the air and the soil outside as well.

It is simple science. If you let air in, and if there is any moisture in it, differences of temperature between the outside and the crawl space will cause the moisture to condense over every surface.

The only proven way to protect your crawl space is by encapsulating and conditioning it with a system like our CleanSpace, installed by knowledgeable professionals.

The CleanSpace System is proven to control crawl space moisture, and make your home healthier and more energy efficient.

Protect yourself against Home Improvement Scams in Delaware

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 10:39:45 -0500

This week, yet another so-called contractor, was indicted for home improvement scams and tax fraud in Wilmington, DE. For us, as it happens with every honest professional and company in the home improvement industry, such news can be dreadful.

There are a lot of reliable, experienced and trustworthy contractors out there, but the dishonest ones are the ones who always end up in the news, giving us all a bad name.

Homeowners get scared, overly suspicious, and many times postpone indefinitely much needed home repairs so that will not have to deal with the hassle of finding and hiring a good professional.

Who can blame them?

However, there are ways in which homeowners can protect themselves, when hiring contractors.

State and federal laws and regulations exist to protect them against scams and home owners need to know them and know how to put themselves in a position in which the law will be able to protect them.

All they need to do is to take the necessary steps to guarantee that they will be hiring the best possible professional for the job.

In addition, gather all the necessary documentation to legally pursue the matter if anything goes wrong.
