Before & After Photos

The basement window in Pittsville, MD needs to be repaired. After inspecting the basement, DryZone came up with a solution to install the EverLast window. 

This skylight was installed in a beautiful finished basement to let light into the dark space. The problem was that it leaked a lot during rain storms. Eventually the entire basement started to smell and the homeowner called DryZone for help. A egress window is designed to be multipurpose. It lets a lot of light into a basement and also acts as an emergency fire escape. DryZone has installed many egress windows and the crews know just how to get that snug fit to avoid leaks.

This basement had previously flooded when one of the crews from DryZone went out there. The problem was swiftly identified in the form of a underperforming Sump Pump. Luckily there was an easy solution in the form of the TripleSafe which is on of the most advanced models. It has three pumps to make sure that even if one pump is overwhelmed you basement will remain dry. 

The homeowner reached out to us because they were having water come into their basement during heavy rains. Their basement is already finished, so they want to have this issue fixed quickly to ensure there is no further damage.

Upon inspection of the wall, we were able to find cracks around and near two pipes. We used FlexiSpan to seal and protect the area.

The homeowner noticed some water on the floor near and around their closet. Having water enter your home through walls is never a good thing so we made sure to inspect the area to ensure a permanent fix. After taking a look through a minor cut in the dry wall, we noticed the crack ran both north and south. Because of this, we had to cut out a any drywall that was in the path.

Once all of the drywall was cut back, we used FlexiSpan to fill and seal the crack. FlexiSpan is a three-part process that begins with the application of a flexible sealant along the full length of the crack. Next, a strip of flexible and porous foam is installed over the crack.

Finally, an impermeable membrane is adhered to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. This fail-safe treatment allows any future seepage of water through the crack to move invisibly down the wall and into the basement’s perimeter drainage system.

As for the downspout, we needed to extend it to ensure that water would be sent further away from the home and the foundation. We were able to do this with roughly 10ft of pipe and a LawnScape outlet.
