Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This home in the town of Bozman was constantly wet. Instead of the typical dirt crawlspace, this home was built with a concrete floor in the crawlspace. A concrete floor will protect the crawlspace from moisture better than a dirt floor, but it still isn't waterproof or sealed. Concrete is basically a very hard sponge, meaning there are a lot of very tiny holes in the floor. These holes will let water through when it builds up under the slab. When DryZone waterproofs a concrete crawlspace, we treat is much like a leaky basement. Drainage pipes are installed to direct ground water off to the sump pump. In this particular house, the amount of pipes installed meant the homeowner needed three separate pumps. When you have a long section of drainage pipe between pumps, the water tends not to move as easily. Think of it like a mountain stream, at one end it could be a raging rapid and at the other end it might be a tiny trickle. To keep the system working efficiently, the homeowner and designer laid out a plan for over 300 feet of pipe and three independent pumps.

The Still Pond, MD basement needs DryZone to install a SuperSump pump! The homeowners are experiencing water damage in their basement and they do not want the problem to continue. They contacted DryZone to come to the property and inspect the basement. After our team saw the water damage, we knew the homeowners would need a pump! 

The homeowners are very satisfied with their basement now, especially since the water is not damaging their basement anymore. 

Where your basement wall meets your floor, there is an imperfect seam. This seam is easily compromised and allows groundwater to enter your basement. With a trench drain system from DryZone, water that enters that imperfect seam is redirected to a sump pump and drained far from your home. 

This home had water gathering at the bottom of the stair by the door. DryZone had the solution. 

Basements can take on many shapes and sizes. For this basement, the walls had high and low spots that seemed to form a small crawl space in the basement. DryZone ensured every inch of the walls were wrapped, including the small crawl space, to seal the basement completely. With a WaterGuard trench drain, a SaniDry dehumidifier and sump pump were also added to keep humidity as low as possible.
