Job Stories

Water started to come into this Magnolia, DE basement every time it rained. No matter what this homeowner did, water surrounded the perimeter of the basement. DryZone knew the best thing for this home was a drainage system and a strong sump pump to remove rainwater. 

Moving into a new home in Magnolia, DE was an exciting time for this homeowner. However, after a couple of months, they noticed significantly high energy bills. Their HVAC system was working overtime and the floors were still cold! They knew they needed a better solution to make their home warmer and more efficient in the winter months. DryZone performed a free inspection and noticed the crawl space vents were wide open, allowing cold air to cool down the ducts that carried warm air to the home. To keep these ducts protected from cold outside air, the vents needed to be sealed, and any gaps in the walls had to be sealed. DryZone encapsulated the crawl space to block out air and water vapor from the earth. To further protect the heating and cooling system, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was added to control the environment. Now the HVAC system can work efficiently!

This homeowner noticed a crack in their foundation wall and called our team to come take a look. After taking a look, we found that we would be able to make a full repair with our FlexiSpan crack repair system. This product fills and seals the area.

This homeowner gave us a call because they noticed an external crack on their foundation. That caused them to give us a call to come out and take a look to see if there were damages on the inside part of their basement. We took out a decent sized piece of drywall on the opposite side of the external wall and noticed the foundation had a large crack running down it. We recommended repairing it with our FlexiSpan. FlexiSpan will not reopen or leak like mortar-based repairs.

The homeowner noticed a crack under their steps as well as water coming from around the pipe chase right below their crawlspace. Their crawlspace also is not encapsulated, so we will be adding CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to keep the area clean, dry and healthy.

Every heavy rainfall turned this Houston, DE home into a flood zone. This homeowner knew she needed better drainage and a sump pump that could take on heavy rainfall. After a free inspection, DryZone knew her home would be the best fit for a WaterGuard trench drain that would collect water from the basement and any groundwater. This drainage system leads to a TripleSafe sump pump that has a battery backup in case of a power outage in a storm. With added CleanSpace on the perimeter of the basement ready to collect any water that enters, this home is ready for any upcoming storm!

This homeowner called us looking to have their crawlspace revamped so that it could stay dry. After taking a look, out team suggested that we install cleanspace and with drainage matting to ensure that moving forward, their crawlspace would not only be free of water but also free of pests.

This homeowner is a previous customer of ours. We had originally gone out and installed WaterGuard within their basement, but after further inspection it needed to be redone. They are planning to finish their basement and before they start that project they want to be 100% certain that the water issues are fixed and will not return.    What makes this job a little trickier than others is that the builder of the home made the basement too deep for their location. The homeowners know that because of this, water will always get into the basement but want to have a system in place to ensure it does no damage.     

The crawl space is experiencing moisture issues as well as insulation problems. The homeowners would love for DryZone to encapsulate their crawl space to keep the moisture problems out! 

These homeowners are dealing with a disastrous crawl space. What could fix this problem? DryZone is the answer! DryZone encapsulates crawl spaces to prevent problems or take care of damaged ones.
