Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

These homeowners decided to call DryZone when their bedroom floor was sagging so bad they were no longer able to sleep in their own bed and we quickly discovered the issue and began implementing measures to fix it. The first thing we did was replace the rotten Beams with new ones and we then installed SmartJacks underneath them to return the foundation to its original location and prevent any sinking in the future. Then to ensure that this would not happen to the Foundation again in the future we installed CleanSpace to keep the humidity low which will prevent mold growth which destroyed the wood foundation. 

This home in Dover was showing signs of uneven settlement on the walls inside the home. The homeowner called DryZone and explained that there were cracks and gaps between the crown molding and the ceiling. DryZone installed 6 SmartJack crawl space support posts in key areas to stabilize the sagging floor. The old 4x4 lumber was no longer effective, but luckily the SmartJacks are adjustable and quite sturdy.

Basement walls are meant to hold up under a straight "up and down" kind of pressure. This is what we call a compressive load. When the dirt outside of the basement pushed horizontally on the wall, it can cause the wall to bend or bow. In extreme cases the wall can break and collapse into the basement. GeoLock Wall Anchors are a great way to correct this bowing motion and prevent a major problem in the future. They use the undisturbed earth outside to help hold up the wall. They can be adjusted over time if they need to be, and they are a proven solution to this exact problem.

In Dover, the capital of Delaware, a homeowner had an issue with their basement, foundation, and drainage. 

This homeowner started to have some concerns with their foundation when they noticed a horizontal crack in their basement. When the crack started to expand, they worried the basement wall would bow inwards and the problem would grow worse. DryZone trains experts in foundation repair and knew what would work best for this basement wall. DryZone installed PowerBraces to stabilize and slowly repair the slightly bowing wall to be straight again.
