When the horizontal wall crack was fixed in this basement, we used stylish covers to make them accessible but also hid them from sight.
Most people are amazed that such a small piece of metal can save their broken basement wall. Well, just one wall anchor can't hold up an entire wall. DryZone has specially trained inspectors that will measure and design a custom system to fix a broken wall. Each plate is designed to grab several blocks on a wall and to support a predetermined load. Therefore, DryZone inspectors know exactly how many wall anchors are needed when designing a basement wall support system.
This home in northern Delaware would leak every time it rained. The homeowner would also notice that the water would seep in a couple days after the rain. DryZone inspector, Johnny Scarborough, explained that it was because the hollow concrete blocks fill up with water. Over time, the blocks drain out and the basement will be wet several days after a storm. DryZone crews make sure to drill the blocks at the base of the wall to relieve the pressure and allow the water to flow into our WaterGuard system. The "after" picture is more of an "almost finished" picture. You can see the nice layer of stone and solid construction of the WaterGuard pipe. The white wall liner is to prevent the tiny leaks from spraying out over the drain.
This father and son needed support and encapsulation underneath their home in New Castle, DE. We installed 2 supplemental beams, 14 SmartJacks, and a full CleanSpace encapsulation to make sure this home is standing strong for a lifetime!
Basements can have a reputation of being cold, wet, and dungeon-like. With EverLast wall panels, basements are bright and inviting as well as waterproofed!
