Job Stories

This homeowner reached out to us because they have been looking to encapsulate their crawlspace for quite some time now. They had us come take a look to see how we could help make the area clean and healthy moving forward. After first look, we noticed the old insulation was hanging and needed to be removed and a waterproofing system needed to be added.   Our team went in and removed all that old insulation and added our CleanSpace system along with a brand-new top of the line waterproof system. This system includes a SmartSump, IceGuard to prevent floods from clogged or frozen discharge line, LawnScape outlet at the end of the discharge line and a HydroLink perimeter drainage system.

A homeowner in Lincoln, DE, began noticing signs that their home's foundation might be settling. Since this was the home they had grown up in, it was especially important to them to restore it to safe, livable condition and preserve it for future generations. After researching local experts, they contacted DryZone to schedule a free inspection.    Our System Design Specialist, Derek, performed a detailed inspection and confirmed that the foundation had started to sink. He explained the repair options available and recommended a solution tailored to the homeowner's needs.    To address the issue, we installed a Helical Pier System, which is designed to permanently stabilize a home's foundation. In many cases, it can even lift the structure back to its original position. This system involves driving steel piers deep into the ground using compact construction equipment. Once the piers reach stable soil or bedrock, a heavy-duty steel bracket is secured to the home's footing, effectively transferring the structure's weight from weak surface soils to a stronger, load-bearing layer below.    With their foundation now stabilized, the homeowner can feel confident knowing their home is protected for the future. DryZone is proud to help another family on Delmarva preserve the place they call home.   

Water and efflorescence had made their home in this crawl space. Every season, the home held water in puddles all around. The homeowner knew this was a common occurrence, but did not know the best solution as he lived in a high water table area. He assumed the water was always going to be under his home, but wouldn't affect it negatively. However, once inspected, it was discovered the floorboards were holding water like a sponge and began to compress on piers. Something had to be done to reduce humidity, and keep ground water far away from the home! DryZone did a full encapsulation on this Parsonsburg, MD crawl space with a strong TripleSafe sump pump. 

After seeing photos of crawl space encapsulations, this homeowner wanted something similar for their crawl space. They had not noticed too many moisture issues in their home but wanted to protect their investment from upcoming storms.

To help these homeowners, DryZone encapsulated the crawl space and added sump pumps to remove groundwater. 

After an unfortunate encounter with another company, this Ellendale, DE homeowner knew he needed an expert to finish their basement the right way. As someone who enjoyed entertaining and wanted a dream movie room, he wanted the finished project to keep his movie equipment safe and dry. A design specialist from DryZone designed a waterproofing system to protect the basement from high moisture coming through the walls. Next, a border of mold-resistant wall paneling was added. To finish the project, a plastic-based wood plank floor was installed. In order to keep the floors dry, a TripleSafe sump pump was installed in the corner of one of the basement rooms. Now the basement and movie rooms are ready for guests to enjoy!
