Job Stories

This basement in Wilmington had standing water in their basement. They had been dealing with the problems for years and had even resorting to raising their washer and dryer up to avoid the water. Finally fed up the homeowners called the experts, DryZone. We inspected the basement and came up with a solution for the homeowner. First they needed to address the standing water issue. The homeowners needed a way for water that was seeping up through the footer and the floor to be directed to the sump pump. For their basement the right choice was Flangeless WaterGuard. The water that is seeping through the floor and into the basement will now be obsessed into the WaterGaurd System. They installed a TrenchDrain near the door and an inspection port to allow our service personnel to clean and service the system. As well the homeowners needed a place for the water to go and discharged out of the basement. They went with the SuperSump pump. The SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of the basement. They also installed a IceGuard discharge line. Many sump pump discharge lines are susceptible to freezing during the cold winter months. Our IceGuard discharge line protection prevents this from happening, with no need for the homeowner to do anything. This specifically designed grated adapter is located outside where the discharge line exits the house. If the pipe underground freezes in the winter, water can still be pumped out without the worry of backups into the basement.

The homeowners are very happy with their decision to contact DryZone because now they are able to walk on their driveway without worrying about tripping or stubbing their toes. 

Concrete lifting is the best way to save concrete. The homeowners were extremely excited about the idea of not spending extra money on tearing apart the concrete driveway and instead having DryZone raise the concrete slab. 

The homeowners in Wilmington, Delaware are experiencing troubles with their sidewalk. The concrete is sinking which is causing the front porch pillars to come apart from the concrete step. The best solution for these homeowners is to hire DryZone for the job. DryZone injected the PolyLevel foam into the concrete and the sidewalk was able to rise to the desired level.

The concrete deck behind the Wilmington, DE home is sinking in different places. The homeowners are concerned with this problem that is continuing to occur and they want a solution right away. DryZone suggested the PolyLevel foam injection for the concrete deck instead of tearing apart the deck.  Now the homeowners are satisfied with their deck and no longer need to worry about sinking or tripping hazards! 

This homeowner called DryZone to inspect their crawlspace and the joists underneath. Luckily, our DryZone System Design Specialist found a BIG problem - a rotten floor joist from the kitchen to the bathroom - but had a BIG solution for our homeowner!  With a SmartJack System installed, the above floors could be lifted to their original position and reduce that floor "bounce" the homeowner was feeling. The installation included supplemental beams and 10 SmartJacks to support the home better than that rotten floor joist.  

There's no point in a basement, if you can't really use it! With the help of DryZone, this homeowner had WaterGuard installed around the perimeter of the basement to help drain any water that enters from the walls. It then drains into a sump pump and then out and away from the home!

This homeowner in Wilmington, DE was in need of some basement waterproofing. We installed WaterGuard, a sump pump and a CleanSpace wall system to prevent any water damage or flooding in the space. If any water did enter the basement, it would flow down into the perimeter drainage system and out the sump pump.   

A homeowner in Wilmington, DE, was preparing to open their pool for the season when they noticed that the concrete around the pool had begun to sink and become uneven. Concerned about potential tripping hazards, they began researching their options. A full concrete replacement seemed costly, so they contacted the experts at DryZone to schedule a free inspection.    Our System Design Specialist, Joe, conducted a thorough inspection and explained how DryZone could use PolyLevel to lift and level the sunken concrete, eliminating the tripping hazards and restoring the safety and appearance of the pool deck.   This concrete lifting and leveling project involved two key components: PolyLevel and NexusPro Crack Repair. PolyLevel is a high-density polyurethane foam that permanently lifts and stabilizes sinking concrete slabs. Small, penny-sized holes are drilled into the slab, and a structural-grade polymer is injected into the voids below. The expanding foam allows for precise lifting and leveling. Most PolyLevel installations are completed within a few hours, with the surface ready for use just 15 minutes after application.    Thanks to DryZone, this Wilmington, DE, homeowner can now enjoy a safe, level pool deck just in time for the season. We're proud to help another Delmarva homeowner protect and improve their home.
