Every heavy rainfall turned this Houston, DE home into a flood zone. This homeowner knew she needed better drainage and a sump pump that could take on heavy rainfall. After a free inspection, DryZone knew her home would be the best fit for a WaterGuard trench drain that would collect water from the basement and any groundwater. This drainage system leads to a TripleSafe sump pump that has a battery backup in case of a power outage in a storm. With added CleanSpace on the perimeter of the basement ready to collect any water that enters, this home is ready for any upcoming storm!

This homeowner called us looking to have their crawlspace revamped so that it could stay dry. After taking a look, out team suggested that we install cleanspace and with drainage matting to ensure that moving forward, their crawlspace would not only be free of water but also free of pests.

This homeowner is a previous customer of ours. We had originally gone out and installed WaterGuard within their basement, but after further inspection it needed to be redone. They are planning to finish their basement and before they start that project they want to be 100% certain that the water issues are fixed and will not return.    What makes this job a little trickier than others is that the builder of the home made the basement too deep for their location. The homeowners know that because of this, water will always get into the basement but want to have a system in place to ensure it does no damage.     

In Magnolia, DE the front porch of this home is sinking. The problem is continuing to grow worse and the homeowners want a solution right away. DryZone suggested our PolyLevel foam to raise the concrete porch and the homeowners loved the idea but now they LOVE the results! Look at the amazing difference between these images. You are able to clearly see the concrete slab that was raised because of the PolyLevel foam injection. 

Who would have thought this would happen?? Our house isn't that old!  Many homeowners say these things when they notice their concrete shifting and becoming uneven on their property. Over time, what was once level and strong weakens and fails, but why? Concrete is strong and durable and is used from airport runways to the sidewalks in front of your home. But eventually, concrete can crack and settle. Sometimes, the soil below your slabs is poorly compacted, other times it is too dry or wet. Your weather, type of soil in your location, and how the concrete slab site was prepared all affect your concrete slabs on your property.  Concerned about your concrete? Call us to schedule an appointment, which includes a free estimate!    

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.
