Flooded basements can ruin your major appliances

Protect your valuable HVAC system and other household systems from water damage

So often we hear about flooded and damp basement causing odors and ruining stored items in boxes. It’s a rough time when you realize that your winter clothes are now full of mold and musty odors. What is worse is that when you finally finish cleaning up all the ruined boxes and debris, you notice that the water has gotten into your furnace and winter is approaching.

A good HVAC system can cost thousands of dollars and should last you a very long time - that is, until it gets flooded out and ruined by one good storm. Some of the most expensive things in a home are located in the basement: water heaters, washer and dryer, HVAC, water treatment systems, and well pumps. In most cases it is the only place in the house that makes sense to put them.

You protect your nice car from the elements by putting it in a garage or under a car cover, right? So why would you continue to let water come into your basement and attack your expensive appliances? Why not keep them dry permanently with a perimeter drainage system and proper sump pump.

DryZone is the #1 waterproofer on the shore. When it comes to fixing a wet and leaky basement for good, no one else comes close. Why would anyone waste their time on anything that will just clog up and need to be replaced again one day?

DryZone’s system has been proven to work and has built in clean out ports to allow anyone to easily flush out the pipes, just in case. You won’t find that on the majority of “French drain” style systems available today.

We take a good idea, and make it better. So the next time it's raining hard and you worry about the stuff in your basement, pick up the phone and give DryZone a call.

DryZone serves the entire Delmarva Peninsula including Odessa, Felton, Townsend, and Middletown.
