Where your basement wall meets your floor, there is an imperfect seam. This seam is easily compromised and allows groundwater to enter your basement. With a trench drain system from DryZone, water that enters that imperfect seam is redirected to a sump pump and drained far from your home.
Large cracks in the basement wall are a sign that the wall is failing and could possibly cave in. A basement wall is mainly held in place by straight up and down pressure, so when that wall is straight it works. As soon as the wall starts to bow inward, it loses strength. Some walls take forever to get really bad, while other break and fall apart very quickly. There is no way of telling if the wall will ever fall in, but why take that chance? Getting it fixed now will save a lot of money in the long run. It also makes it easier to sell the home if you can pass on a huge warranty to the new owners.
DryZone was called out to this home in Chestertown to left a concrete slab away form a house so that rain water and condensation would not flow toward the house. The crew also needed to fill a void between the chimney and the slab.
This home was in need of structural repair due to wood rot and mold in the crawl space.
This homeowner recently had an inspection as she wants to sell her property but first needed to fix the broken girder. To do this they called the experts at DryZone who got the job done right so this foundation will be secure for years to come.
