Experiencing a sinking concrete sidewalk may become frustrating between tripping hazards and having an ugly eyesore for friends and families to see. The homeowners in Milford, DE are experiencing these issues and they want DryZone to come out right away and help them with their concrete sidewalk. DryZone suggested PolyLevel and the homeowners were impressed with the idea and the outcome of the foam. 

The homeowners in Milford, DE were experiencing cracks and sinking concrete on their driveway. They were concerned with these cracks becoming worse and they wanted this problem to be taken care of right away! DryZone came out to the property to inspect the problem and right away the homeowners knew PolyLevel was the best solution! 

This homeowner wanted to make things right in their home for the next owner. We installed our CleanSpace wall system, installed a FlexiSpan for a crack in their basement and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep moisture and water out for good!

This homeowner in Milford, DE kept getting water in their basement every time it rained. After finding us online, they gave us a call to see what could be done! After reviewing their space and noting where the leaking was, the System Design Specialist suggested that the best way to get the water out of the basement is to install WaterGuard around the perimeter of the space which would then drain into a sump pump. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump, which includes three sump pumps in one! With these two things in place, any water that comes into the basement from the walls or floors drains into the perimeter drainage system, into the pump and then out through a discharge pipe into their yard, away from their home.  Now this homeowner can utilize their basement alot more and be able to store their precious items without any worry of them being damaged.

This Milford homeowner called DryZone after noticing significant sinking of their concrete pool deck. They noticed whenever they spent the day at the pool, people were tripping over sidewalk steps that were lower than they used to be.  DryZone recognized the sinking slabs and injected some PolyLevel beneath the surface to gently lift the slab to the appropriate height. After lifting, the seams between the slabs were sealed to prevent water from penetrating and causing sinking. 

Liz M. detected a musty smell in her newly purchased home. She told her real estate agent and they recommended her to call DryZone for a thorough inspection. After the Design Specialist went underneath the home, he discovered multiple areas that held droplets of water that caused mold growth.    In order to prevent the mold growth, DryZone needed to curb the moisture and make the crawlspace a controlled environment. In order to control the environment, DryZone sealed off the entryway with an EverLast Crawlspace Door and wrapped the walls, piers, and dirt floor in CleanSpace. After sealing off every corner of the crawlspace, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed with a condensate pump to remove any additional moisture. 

David M. reached out to DryZone after noticing a smell coming in through his crawlspace. He had begun realizing the smell mostly occurred on rainy days when large amounts of water came into the crawlspace.  A design specialist form DryZone realized the standing water and high humidity had caused mold and mildew marks on floor joists and support beams. In order to properly remedy the smell, the crawlspace had to stay dry. DryZone installed CleanSpace vapor barriers around the beams and walls to isolate the crawlspace from the outside air. Then, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to control the environment and reduce any smells. Now the home is dry and has no standing water smells!
