The home in Middletown, DE is experiencing problems with the sidewalk and the homeowners need DryZone to fix the sinking slab! The entire sidewalk has sinking parts of concrete and the slabs are separating from one another. DryZone has the solution to lift the concrete and create an equal, leveled walkway. 

It's great to have a pool in your backyard, but there's more maintenance than just the pool! Around this pool patio, we installed NexusPro joint and crack sealant in all the areas that needed to be sealed, making this pool patio look better and be safer too!

David, of Middletown, DE, noticed that the concrete pool deck along the back side of his pool had begun sinking and becoming uneven, creating a tripping hazard. Concerned about safety and knowing that replacing the entire concrete deck would be costly, he began looking for alternatives to full replacement. During his research, he discovered DryZone and learned that we lift and level concrete.    Our System Design Specialist, Tom, conducted a thorough inspection and explained how to use the PolyLevel System to lift and level the concrete.    This repair project included two key components: PolyLevel and NexusPro Crack Repair. PolyLevel permanently lifts and stabilizes sinking concrete slabs using a high-density polyurethane formula. Small, penny-sized holes are drilled into the slab, and a structural-grade polymer is injected into the void. As the polyurethane expands, it precisely lifts and levels the slab. PolyLevel can often be installed in just a few hours, with the surface ready for use in as little as 15 minutes.    Thanks to these solutions, David now has peace of mind knowing there are no longer tripping hazards around his pool without the expense and disruption of a full concrete replacement.   

Dirt crawl spaces have a tendency to hold pockets of water. This is especially common when the crawl space is not sealed and wild animals burrow a comfortable bed in the dirt. In rainy seasons, those burrowed beds become ponds. This homeowner noticed puddles forming in the crawl space in multiple spots. Eventually, the thin vapor barrier tore and became wrinkled, inviting more pockets of water. It was time she corrected the issue and had the space leveled and encapsulated to keep unwelcomed guests out for good. DryZone encapsulated this space after filling those small holes scattered in the ground. The thick CleanSpace fully sealed every corner and the piers underneath this Crisfield, DE home. 

A homeowner in Crisfield, MD, was experiencing issues with bouncing floors and noticeable shaking when walking through their home. In search of a solution, they reached out to the experts at DryZone to schedule a free inspection.    Our System Design Specialist, Tom, conducted the inspection and discovered that the existing support beams in the crawlspace had begun to sag. Tom explained that the best solution would be to install SmartJacks to stabilize and lift their floors back to the original position.    The foundation repair project included the installation of SmartJacks and a supplemental beam. The SmartJack System is designed to stabilize crawlspace support beams and floor joists. It's an ideal solution for lifting floors that have sagged due to weakened joists or excessive spans, significantly reducing floor bounce and improving overall stability.    Thanks to the SmartJack System, this Crisfield, MD, homeowner can now enjoy solid, stable floors with confidence. DryZone is proud to have helped another homeowner on Delmarva restore peace of mind and structural integrity to their home.

Living close to a river has its advantages and disadvantages. With this homeowner, the nearby river constantly overflows and floods the backyard. Over time, the moisture started affecting the floorboards, making them weak and begin flaking apart. A sure sign of this weakening was how bouncy the floors in this homeowner's kitchen became. She started worrying if her appliances or even herself would fall through her floor. She knew she needed a foundation repair expert to come in and strengthen her floors so she could feel safe walking on them again!  DryZone quickly noticed what was wrong in this homeowner's crawl space with the first inspection visit.
