Job Stories

Moving closer to family in Delaware was extremely important to this couple. They could plan many more outings with grandchildren and children when living much closer. One vital detail they remembered was having an encapsulated crawl space in their old home a few states away. After learning that DryZone offers encapsulation, they knew they wanted the work done in their Delaware home. DryZone took time to answer questions and explain the process and compare it to the encapsulation in their previous home. Excited about the job, the homeowners scheduled for an encapsulation. DryZone encapsulated the crawl space with a strong vapor barrier and placed a SsaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control the environment of the crawl space. Now the air is clean, dry, and safe for grandchildren to visit!

Every winter, cold floors plagued this single-story home. It felt like every room was freezing and the heat could not be turned high enough. For this Camden Wyoming, DE family, insulating the crawl space was a top priority to face upcoming cold winters. DryZone took down old, falling insulation in the crawl space and lined the foundation walls with a 2-inch thick foam board!

Every rainstorm brought water into this Camden Wyoming, DE basement. When it came to big rainstorms, power outages were an even bigger concern. Because the basement was finished, the homeowner was worried his things would be ruined if the power were to go out for a long time. The experts at DryZone installed a new and stronger sump pump into the basement's mechanical room with a battery backup to give this homeowner peace of mind knowing their basement is safe and dry. 

This homeowner noticed water in various parts of their basement. They gave us a call because they no longer want to deal with the issue of having water in different parts of their basement. They are also planning to finish portions of the space in the near future and would rather get this fixed now than down the road.   After our team took a look, our recommendation was to add Waterguard and 2 sump pumps to keep the area clear of water moving forward. We are also going to be installing cleanspace wall system, a sanidry xp, replacing a current window with a rockwell egress system and lifting and leveling their back patio.    They also asked for us to return to do additional work once their basement is finished such as ductwork!

The homeowner reached out to us because he has been worried about his sump pump for a very long tong. His current one is essentially useless and he doesn't want to risk having water intrude his basement any longer. Our team came out to have a look and we recommended the installation of our triple safe sump pump in the current sump location.

A homeowner in Camden Wyoming, DE, contacted DryZone looking to transform their basement into a functional living space.
