Determined to resolve the issue, they conducted some research and reached out to the experts at DryZone to schedule a free inspection.    Our System Design Specialist, Don, performed a thorough evaluation and collaborated with the homeowner to develop a customized solution to address the water intrusion.    The major components of the crawlspace encapsulation system included HydroLink, CleanSpace, SaniDry Sedona, and a SmartSump.

The Town of Little Creek was experiencing issues with uneven and cracked sidewalks throughout the community. Concerned about the potential tripping hazards these posed, town officials began researching repair solutions. Knowing that the cost to replace them would be much higher than repair they contacted the experts at DryZone to schedule a free inspection.   Our team identified the problem areas and proposed a solution using PolyLevel a high-density polyurethane formula that permanently lifts and stabilizes sinking concrete slabs. The process involves drilling small, penny-sized holes into the affected slabs and injecting a structural-grade polymer into the void beneath. As the polyurethane expands, it accurately lifts and levels the slab, restoring it to a safe and even surface.    Thanks to this solution, the Town of Little Creek can now rest easy knowing its sidewalks are safer and no longer a tripping hazard. DryZone is proud to deliver reliable, long-lasting solutions that help protect homes and strengthen communities through Delmarva. 

A homeowner in parksley, VA, was dealing with high humidity levels inside their home and became concerned of the underlying cause. Wanting to protect their home, they reached out to the experts at DryZone to schedule a free inspection.    Our System Design Specialist, Tom, conducted a comprehensive inspection and discovered that the humidity level in the crawlspace was over 80% well above the recommended threshold of 55%. Tom explained the long-term risks associated with elevated moisture and discussed the encapsulation solution we offer to bring the humidity down to a safe, manageable level.   The crawlspace encapsulating included two key components: CleanSpace and a SaniDry Sedona. The SaniDry Sedona is a powerful dehumidifier with the capacity to remove up to 100 pints of moisture per day while circulating over 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute effectively keeping the space dry and protected.    Thanks to team DryZone, this Parksley homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind knowing their crawlspace will no longer be the source of musty odors or damp air entering their living space. We're proud to help protect another Delmarva home with a reliable, lasting solution.

This homeowner was looking to renovate their home and is looking to correct a foundation problem on a side of their home. After scoping out the situation, our team decided the best approach to fix this issue was to install SmartJack supports. These will support the floor joist system above.    The SmartJack support will help lift the foundation to be level.

This homeowner gave us a call because they are getting ready to make renovations to their home. They want to ensure that the foundation is stable prior to making any changes to their summer kitchen and enclosed porch.    Our team went out to take a look at the area to see how we could help. After looking at the area, we found that the best way to fix the issues would be to add a supplemental beam and smartjacks. There are two beams we will be adding smartjacks to in order to assist the additional jacks that we are installing to support the load bearing wall and porch. 

This homeowner reached out to us regarding their basement having water issues. They are planning to finish the basement in the future and want to ensure there are no water issues. Currently they have water coming into their basement in a few locations which need to be addressed prior to any work being done.    After our team went out to assess the situation, first we recommended the installation of waterguard. Waterguard is designed to capture water seepage through walls and leaks along the wall/floor joint. Secondly, we will be installing a triplesafe sump pump system. This system will keep the basement dry in extreme conditions and even during power outages. Most sump pumps fail because of either a failed pump, a pump that can't handle high volumes of water or power failure. The TripleSafe assures protection from all three sump pump problems.   Lastly, we will be adding iceguard to prevent floods from clogged or frozen discharge line and installing cleanspace on the walls.

This homeowner reached out to us because they noticed their discharge line was not working properly. Our team went out and took a look and recommended adding and replacing some of the discharge. The new discharge line was tied into the current discharge 90 degrees into the crawlspace and then out of the front of the home. This will ensure water is leaving their basement properly from now on.
