The homeowners of this basement in Whaleyville, MD experienced water damage in their basement. They started to notice water in their basement each time it rained outside, which left them with a musty smell in their basement.  This was the last straw for the homeowners, and they decided to give a call to DryZone. Our team inspected the homeowner's basement and found several issues that needed to be addressed.  DryZone then decided to install a SuperSump Pump, TrenchDrain, and instal insulation on the walls. This allowed the water to have a place to drain to and not damage the rest of the basement.  The homeowners were extremely pleased with the outcome of their basement. They ended up contacting us about their basement and said how happy they were with the results of our work.

When foundations settle, they sink into the ground below them. When this happens, it typically occurs unevenly and one side can settle faster than another side. As a result, openings can form between foundation bricks and sill plates. The opening that is created allows air to enter the crawl space. Air entering a crawl space is full of moisture and actually attaches to insulation, causing it to become heavy and fall down. This moisture can also feed microbial growth that clings to wooden joists. DryZone suggested a full clean of fiberglass insulation as well as sealing those gaps between the foundation and sill plate.
