Job Stories

Before selling their home, this Magnolia homeowner wanted to insulate and waterproof their basement. After removing old and falling insulation, DryZone installed a thick Foamax insulation board and covered it with CleanSpace to seal the room from moisture. 

Knowing the damages water can inflict on a basement encouraged this homeowner to protect her home. She wanted to nip the problem in the bud before it became a much larger issue in the future. DryZone's Design Specialist performed a full inspection and understood the concerns of the homeowner. She informed the Design Specialist, "my basement is in great condition, and I want to keep it that way!" DryZone installed a trench drain system around the perimeter of the basement leading to a TripleSafe sump pump. To maintain the moisture level, the walls of the basement were wrapped in CleanSpace and a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed. Now this homeowner has peace of mind knowing her home is protected from future moisture issues. 

Water started to come into this Magnolia, DE basement every time it rained. No matter what this homeowner did, water surrounded the perimeter of the basement. DryZone knew the best thing for this home was a drainage system and a strong sump pump to remove rainwater. 

Moving into a new home in Magnolia, DE was an exciting time for this homeowner. However, after a couple of months, they noticed significantly high energy bills. Their HVAC system was working overtime and the floors were still cold! They knew they needed a better solution to make their home warmer and more efficient in the winter months. DryZone performed a free inspection and noticed the crawl space vents were wide open, allowing cold air to cool down the ducts that carried warm air to the home. To keep these ducts protected from cold outside air, the vents needed to be sealed, and any gaps in the walls had to be sealed. DryZone encapsulated the crawl space to block out air and water vapor from the earth. To further protect the heating and cooling system, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was added to control the environment. Now the HVAC system can work efficiently!

This homeowner noticed a crack in their foundation wall and called our team to come take a look. After taking a look, we found that we would be able to make a full repair with our FlexiSpan crack repair system. This product fills and seals the area.

This homeowner gave us a call because they noticed an external crack on their foundation. That caused them to give us a call to come out and take a look to see if there were damages on the inside part of their basement. We took out a decent sized piece of drywall on the opposite side of the external wall and noticed the foundation had a large crack running down it. We recommended repairing it with our FlexiSpan. FlexiSpan will not reopen or leak like mortar-based repairs.

The homeowner noticed a crack under their steps as well as water coming from around the pipe chase right below their crawlspace. Their crawlspace also is not encapsulated, so we will be adding CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to keep the area clean, dry and healthy.

A homeowner in Magnolia, DE had been dealing with an ongoing issue in their bathroom—cracks in the ceiling that had been appearing for the past twenty years. Frustrated after repeated repairs that never seemed to hold, they began to suspect there might be an underlying problem. Seeking a lasting solution, they contacted the professionals at DryZone for a free inspection.    Upon inspection, we discovered that excessive humidity in the crawl space had caused the existing girder to sag, contributing to the persistent ceiling cracks.    To address the situation, we removed the old girder and wood shims, replacing them with a new girder and metal shims. This essential repair work ensured that the foundation of the home would remain level moving forward, eliminating any future concerns about sagging.      

Encapsulating and protecting your crawlspace isn’t just for older homes.
