When it comes to health, most people would put that as a number one on their priority list. Well, DryZone does as well but when your home looks like this Bethel, DE crawl space then you are not in great shape.

After purchasing the home, these homeowners were very excited to start their new life in a new area. However, they were not ready for puddles of water in their basement. For a couple of weeks, water in the basement was a minor concern. Once they found microbial growth on the basement walls, the concern began to grow, and they knew they needed some help. DryZone installed a strong sump pump and WaterGuard trench drain to keep groundwater and rain water at bay. 

This homeowner in Seaford, DE was sick and tired of worrying about their valuables possibly getting wet any time it rained or snowed. Frustrated about what to do, they decided to call DryZone to see their options in basement waterproofing.   For this particular basement, we installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement to drain any water collected into a SuperSump Plus and then out and away from their home. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to collect any water through the air, which would then be pumped out through the sump pump as well.  Now this homeowner can use their basement without the fear of major flooding and their belongings being damaged!

This Seaford, DE homeowner purchased an older home with hopes of improving the house. However, when it came to improving the crawl space, she decided to call the experts.

To complete the encapsulation, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to control the environment under the home. Now the foundation is protected!

This Seaford, DE homeowner called DryZone with some concerns in his encapsulated crawl space.

This Seaford, DE homeowner was selling her home when she noticed something that changed all of her plans. A horizontal crack in the basement wall. After seeing the crack, she decided to do a more thorough look around her basement for anything else she might have missed. In the corner of her basement was a puddle of water she had never noticed before. Not only did she have foundation concerns, but now she had moisture concerns that would be a deterrent for potential buyers and would show in an inspection.  She knew she had to find a company that not only would stabilize her home and repair the crack, but also waterproof to prevent future puddles in the basement. DryZone was the perfect company for both of these obstacles. After a free, no-obligation inspection, DryZone designed a perfect plan for her whole basement. After sealing the crack, the basement walls were wrapped in CleanSpace plastic to seal the outside air and further moisture from coming in. Next, PowerBraces were installed to stabilize the home and prevent the bowing of the wall.
