Job Stories

The homeowners of this basement in Dagsboro expereinced water in their basement each time it rained. The had to wait until their small sump pump was able to pump out the nearly 3-4 inches of water. Leaving them with a musty basement smell and a huge headache.  Enough was enough, and they made the call to DryZone. After the inspection we suggested long term fixes to address and control the water. First, we needed to install WaterGuard. This will allow the water that is entering the basement to find its way to the sump pump without entering in to the basement and onto the floor.  The next step was to install a new SuperSump. A SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of the basement.  These solutions will allow for the basement to be dry, all of the time!

This homeowner knew that not having their crawlspace dealt with would affect his whole home sooner or later.  With a call to DryZone, he found out that he had a lot more moisture than what is normal and that it was starting to create mold on the wood underneath his home.  We encapsulated his crawlspace with CleanSpace crawlspace liner, installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and installed a TripleSafe sump pump to collect all that water and send it out of the crawlspace for good!

Once they were installed, vent covers were added to ensure water and any pests were unable to enter the crawlspace. Not only does the home smell better, but  is now protected from further water damage.
