Job Stories

This Seaford, DE homeowner was selling her home when she noticed something that changed all of her plans. A horizontal crack in the basement wall. After seeing the crack, she decided to do a more thorough look around her basement for anything else she might have missed. In the corner of her basement was a puddle of water she had never noticed before. Not only did she have foundation concerns, but now she had moisture concerns that would be a deterrent for potential buyers and would show in an inspection.  She knew she had to find a company that not only would stabilize her home and repair the crack, but also waterproof to prevent future puddles in the basement. DryZone was the perfect company for both of these obstacles. After a free, no-obligation inspection, DryZone designed a perfect plan for her whole basement. After sealing the crack, the basement walls were wrapped in CleanSpace plastic to seal the outside air and further moisture from coming in. Next, PowerBraces were installed to stabilize the home and prevent the bowing of the wall.

With a party on the horizon, they were eager to ensure the pool area was not only visually appealing but also safe for guests.

DryZone is thrilled to have resolved these concrete issues, ensuring that the pool area remains in great shape for years to come.
