Damp Crawl Space in Frederica, DE needed Professional Help

This crawl space quickly became a part of the home that was avoided. In rainy seasons it flooded and in cold seasons it made the floors cold. This homeowner felt like there was nothing more to this crawl space beside that. However, After a while, the crawl space became messier and started to release a foul odor. This homeowner knew they could not avoid the problem underneath of his home any longer. He called DryZone to do a full inspection of the crawl space to see what the problem was and how it could be solved. DryZone reduced the moisture by encapsulating the crawl space with CleanSpace, and adding a sump pump to remove groundwater. With the moisture reduced, things like microbial growth that caused the foul odor were gone! 

Correcting Foundation Issue Frederica, DE

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.

Adding Smartjacks to Frederica, DE Home

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. 

Fixing a Discharge Line Frederica, DE

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.

Waterproofing Frederica, DE Basement

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.
