Most people think that painting the basement walls is a good idea. It is a good idea, if you want to paint them again...and again. Wouldn't you rather have a permanent solution that looks fantastic? The BrightWall system isn't like "finishing" the basement but it does provide a clean and bright look to an otherwise dark and scary place. It is easy to clean and won't chip off like paint. Even better than the look is the vapor barrier aspect. BrightWall acts as a great vapor barrier and will never mold or smell. Any moisture that seeps in through the basement walls is stopped on the back of the panels and stays out of the air. If you have a waterproofing system, such as WaterGuard, the panels can tuck right into it so the water has a place to drip.

This home in Newark, DE had a real issue with the basement leaking. When DryZone's inspector Johnny Scarborough arrived, he quickly saw something the needed to be fixed. Most of the downspouts around the house emptied onto a driveway or sidewalk, but not the one on the back of the house. This downspout drained only a foot or so from the house. Basically it was creating a funnel to direct the rain to one spot of the home. The downspouts out front hit the concrete driveway and drained away. The force of a heavy rain coming from this area was almost the same as a fire hose directed right at the foundation. Is it any surprise that the basement leaked and flooded really bad in this area? By extending the downspout out and away from the home, the rain water won't cause such a problem. It is a great way to help out your basement drainage system.

Job Stories From Worcester County, MD
Homeowner's Sidewalk was a Tripping Hazzard

This homeowner's sidewalk was dangerous and hard to navigate. When dealing with settling of this nature, the typical response is to either rip up the concrete and replace or to use mud jacking to raise the slab. Ripping up the concrete and be costly and can still have settling down the road. As well it takes time for the concrete to cure and the pathway wouldn't be passable for some time. This is a huge inconvenience for the homeowner. Mud jacking is an old approach to leveling concrete that that is not always reliable and causing a huge mess and clean up. This involves drilling a hole into the concrete and pouring more concrete under the slab. 

Rather then using these two approaches, the homeowners chose to use PolyLevel. This is an innovative way for DryZone to lift and level the concrete. Using a 2 part compound, we drill a small, dime sized holes in to the concrete, inject the PolyLevel compound and slowly raise the slab to the desired level. This takes a matter of minutes and is ready for traffic within 15 minutes of curing. Josh Richmond our PolyLevel foreman was able to successfully raise the slabs and create a safe walking area for the homeowners. 

PolyLevel injection has so many uses. Similar would be the application used to raise 300 feet of busy Route 1 highway near Middletown and Dover.

SmartJacks® in Newark Home

This homeowner in Newark started to notice creaky floors and doors that were not shutting correctly. Understanding they they had structural issues they called DryZone to see what they could do. After their home inspection they realized that the best solution would be to install Smart Jacks. These will help to stabilize and lift the home. Structural damage like this is usually caused by wood rot and moisture in the crawl space. As the moisture enters the crawl space, mold can grown and begin to break down the organic wood material. The weight of the home begins to crumble fro the ground up. Smart Jacks help to stabilize the home so that for years and years this homeowner won’t have any issues with the floor joists. The clean space system will insure that no more moisture will enter the crawl space.

Dry Basement System in Newark Home

This home had serious signs of water damage and water seepage through the walls. When water seeps through the walls this means that the soil outside of the home if rich in moisture and during large periods of rain seep through the concrete. Concrete is a not a waterproof material, so then they build homes they add a water proof tar outside of the home. Over years that barrier breaks down and water can begin to leak in through the walls. Many times contractors will suggest that Derek, their system design specialist, suggested a few things that will help keep their basement dry and rid of moisture that did require digging up the whole yard! First, they needed a place for the water to drain, installing the WaterGuard Systems gives the water a space to go that will direct it to the SuperSump. This ensures that the water will be directed to the correct place. In addition the homeowner choose to instal bright wall. BrightWall Panels are durable 4 by 8-foot sheets of rigid plastic paneling that are clean, bright, and won't come off the wall like paints and sealants will. BrightWall stops water vapor from getting through your walls and also drains away any wall leaks down to your WaterGuard. BrightWall is perfect for a clean and bright storage area or work space.

These reading were taken in November. You can see that the reading just out side of the crawl space has low humidity reading. The reading taken inside of the crawl space is much higher.

Thermal Images Show Heat Loss

Ever wonder why you have higher heating bills in the winter? Once reason could be the warm air escaping through the floor joist and into the crawl space Our system design specialist bring with them various tools to help illustrate to homeowners various issues in and under their home. This image taken by a thermal imaging camera shows that there is a significant heat loss coming through the floor joists from the main part of the home. On this day the relative temperature outside the home was 72 degrees. Inside the home you can see that the blue is the coldest reading at 57 degrees, the green is the heat that is coming from inside the home into the crawl space. Lucky for this homeowner the problem was noticed before the winter. Now they will be able to keep their feet toasty and their heating bill low by insulating the crawl space with SliverGlo.

Finishing the Crawl Space in Whaleyville, MD

This homeowner contacted DryZone knowing that they had an issue under their home in their crawl space. They lived in their home for 15 years and they knew the amount of moisture in the air was causing the insulation to fall onto the ground. They did not realize that this could also cause mold to grow. These homeowners were extremely happy when DryZone came for an inspection and gave a solution to this problem. 

Dryzone installed a dehumidifier into the crawl space, which helped keep the crawl space dry & clean. The dehumidifier helps control the temperature of the crawl space, which ultimately keeps the mold out of the area. 

After DryZone finished the job, the homeowners were happy with the clean space in their crawl space. Now they can live each day knowing their crawl space is mold and moisture free!

This basement in Stockton, MD flooded every time it rained. The homeowners were becoming concerned with their own health as well as their children and animals because the musty mold smell started to come up from the basement and throughout the upstairs of their home.

Now the basement is in much better shape and the homeowners are satisfied with the smell of their home again and they no longer need to worry about their childrens health or their animals!

Crawlspace Repair in Berlin, MD

This homeowner in Berlin, MD checked their crawlspace time and again and knew that there was a minor water problem on one side of the home. 

When their doors started to stick inside, they knew that the crawlspace was probably the issue. With a call to DryZone, they found out they needed a little more than just a vapor barrier on the ground. Our System Design Specialist took measurements, pictures and even used special equipment to see what the relative humidity percentage was under the home. Our team member also checked for signs of mold and rot. 

Before starting the project, we removed the batt insulation and some debris from under the home. We then fully encapsulated the crawlspace with CleanSpace liner, installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and installed a condensate pump.

Not only does this homeowner have the peace of mind about their crawlspace, they also have annual service maintenance available every year to check up on the equipment!

A New Crawl Space Entrance for Pocomoke City, MD Home

This homeowner needed a better way to get into the crawl space. Before, the only way to view the crawl space was through a rusty vent that was not large enough for a person to crawl through. If they wanted an encapsulation, they needed an entrance large enough. DryZone expanded the vent hole to create an appropriately sized entrance. Around the entrance, they made a pit that was equipped to drain water away from the crawl space instead of leaking into it. Now they can have their crawl space encapsulated, and regularly serviced.

Proper drainage can increase the life of your basement. For this basement, there was nothing draining out groundwater or leaking rainwater once it entered.

DryZone suggested a better drainage system to redirect water to a sump pump instead of allowing water to puddle. 

Protecting a Home in Whaleyville, MD with Crawlspace Encapsulation

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.
