Destroyed basement in Millsboro, DE reclaimed for the whole family to enjoy!

Most people enjoy spending time in the basement when it is finished. This Millsboro homeowner enjoyed his basement for many Christmas', countless birthday parties and when his kids had sleepovers.

Last year, the hurricane water began to work its way into the basement and everything was ruined.

“Well it hasn't leaked in 20 years, it must be a one-time thing,” they thought.

They hired a company to come in and dry up the space. They had the carpets cleaned and a big dehumidifier was temporally installed. One week after the basement work was completed, a smell began to permeate, some of the paneling began to warp and the walls and floor began to get black. It began to rain again after a few weeks and the basement had water in it again. The black spots got much bigger and you could actually push your finger into the wall with no trouble. 

When the homeowner called the company that came in a few weeks before, the phone number was no longer in service. They happened to visit a home show that year and met the specialists at DryZone. They quickly called the company and set an appointment time.

When Johnny, the specialist from Dry Zone arrived at the home, the smell coming from the basement was almost unbearable; you could clearly see wood rot and a squishy carpet. Johnny recommended installing a new perimeter drain system, a TripleSafe Sump Pump and the Everlast Wall Restoration System with new Thermal Dry carpets. 

The homeowners are very glad their basement is properly repaired after calling DryZone. They can now enjoy the space with their family like they once did, knowing there's a battery back up sump pump in place and that the materials installed will resist mold growth. Best of all: no more smells!
