Expert Concrete Repair, Basement Waterproofing & Crawl Space Repair in Wilmington, DE

A homeowner in Wilmington, DE, was preparing to open their pool for the season when they noticed that the concrete around the pool had begun to sink and become uneven. Concerned about potential tripping hazards, they began researching their options. A full concrete replacement seemed costly, so they contacted the experts at DryZone to schedule a free inspection. 

Our System Design Specialist, Joe, conducted a thorough inspection and explained how DryZone could use PolyLevel to lift and level the sunken concrete, eliminating the tripping hazards and restoring the safety and appearance of the pool deck.

This concrete lifting and leveling project involved two key components: PolyLevel and NexusPro Crack Repair. PolyLevel is a high-density polyurethane foam that permanently lifts and stabilizes sinking concrete slabs. Small, penny-sized holes are drilled into the slab, and a structural-grade polymer is injected into the voids below. The expanding foam allows for precise lifting and leveling. Most PolyLevel installations are completed within a few hours, with the surface ready for use just 15 minutes after application. 

Thanks to DryZone, this Wilmington, DE, homeowner can now enjoy a safe, level pool deck just in time for the season. We're proud to help another Delmarva homeowner protect and improve their home. 

A 70-year-old home in Wilmington, DE had a crawl space that was completely concrete and suffering horribly from standing water and musty smells. The homeowner wanted to create a healthier living environment by fixing the entire crawl space and called the experts at DryZone.

DryZone was thorough in their inspection and determined that the removal of all the debris i.e. bricks laying on the concrete floor throughout the space and adding CleanSpace technology would drastically improve the condition of the space. The homeowners agreed and the DryZone team went to work.

After removing all the debris and water, the DryZone experts installed a SmartSump Plus to help keep water out of the space, as well as a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. CleanSpace technology was used in the entire crawl space and the piers were also wrapped. In addition, the DryZone experts installed an exterior discharge pipe and LawnScape outlet. All the vents were blocked off from the inside to ensure that unconditioned air from the outside can not get in.

The homeowners needed a way for water that was seeping up through the footer and the floor to be directed to the sump pump. For their basement the right choice was Flangeless WaterGuard. The water that is seeping through the floor and into the basement will now be obsessed into the WaterGaurd System. They installed a TrenchDrain near the door and an inspection port to allow our service personnel to clean and service the system. As well the homeowners needed a place for the water to go and discharged out of the basement. They went with the SuperSump pump. The SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of the basement. They also installed a IceGuard discharge line. Many sump pump discharge lines are susceptible to freezing during the cold winter months. Our IceGuard discharge line protection prevents this from happening, with no need for the homeowner to do anything. This specifically designed grated adapter is located outside where the discharge line exits the house. If the pipe underground freezes in the winter, water can still be pumped out without the worry of backups into the basement.
