A business in Millsboro, DE reached out to the experts at DryZone due to uneven surfaces on their pool deck, which had become a serious tripping hazard. Our System Design Specialist, Joseph, conducted a free inspection and developed a cost-effective plan to repair the concrete rather than replace it entirely.        The key components of this concrete repair project included PolyLEVEL and NexusPro Crack Repair. PolyLEVEL is a high-performance solution designed to lift and stabilize sunken concrete. We inject a structural-grade polymer into the underlying voids by drilling small, penny-sized holes into the slab. As the polyurethane expands, it precisely lifts and levels the concrete for a long lasting fix.      With the concrete now even and secure, this Millsboro, DE business no longer has to worry about safety hazards on its pool deck. DryZone is proud to have delivered a reliable solution that restores function and peace of mind.   

A homeowner in Millsboro, DE, was experiencing sagging floors in what they consider their forever home. Concerned about the potential structural damage if left unaddressed, they contacted the experts at DryZone to schedule a free inspection.    Our System Design Specialist, Tom, performed a thorough evaluation and discovered that the home's support beams had begun to sag, leading to the uneven floors. Tom explained the causes and reviewed the best solutions to restore the home's stability.    The key components of this foundation repair were the installation of a supplemental beam and the SmartJack System. The SmartJack System is designed to stabilize crawlspace beams and floor joists. It's the ideal solution for lifting floors back toward their original position and reducing floor bounce caused by weakened joists or long spans.    The system works by addressing weak foundation soils with a base of engineered fill to evenly distribute the home's weight. Galvanized steel columns are cut to length, placed on a cast aluminum footing, and attached to the girders or supplemental beam using adjustable top brackets. Heavy-duty threaded rods allow precise adjustment and in many cases, even lift sagging or sloping floors.    With this solution in place, the Millsboro homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind knowing their floors are secure and supported. DryZone is proud to have helped protect another Delmarva home for years to come.   

Groundwater rises and falls with changing seasons. For this Newark, MD church, groundwater seemed to always be high, and over time caused a musty smell in the building. They had installed a sump pump to try ad control the water, but the water vapor from the ground seemed to linger and started making the floorboards weak.

DryZone encapsulated this crawl space to block out moisture from the earth and protect the wooden floorboards.

We also recommended adding supplemental beam and smartjacks in order to keep the integrity of the area stable. On top of that, we added a proper entrance to the space so it can be accessed easily. Lastly, we used our spray insulation to close off the area and keep it insulated from the outside.

After seeing us at a home and craft expo this fall, this homeowner in Frankford, DE decided to see what was going on in their crawlspace. The homeowner never thought to check underneath their home for signs of water or the effects of moisture.  After DryZone inspected their space, they found out that mold and moisture had affected some of their floor joists. We installed our CleanSpace crawlspace liner with a condensate pump and a dehumidifier to help keep water out and control any moisture underneath the home. We also ran a 20 foot discharge pipe outside from the home to a LawnScape outlet, where water can escape out and away from the home. We also installed a sister floor joist underneath the home to stabilize the floor because of the water damage that occured from an uncontrolled crawlspace.  Now this homeowner can worry less about the effects of moisture underneath their home and feel protected!
