Installing a French Drain in this Girdletree, MD Basement

A past of flooding made this basement unusable. DryZone waterproofed this basement by adding a french drain around the perimeter of the home and adding a string sump pump to take out the water. 

Leaky basement in Rehoboth Beach, DE

These pictures aren't exactly "before & after" but more like middle and end. They shows how the WaterGuard basement perimeter drainage system is installed. This system is a subfloor system that rests on top of the concrete footing, rather than in the dirt next to it. Many other waterprooofing systems used by other companies will put a pipe about a foot away from the wall and in the dirt next to the footer. One thing to keep in mind is that the footer is what holds up the wall. If water is moving around in a pipe next to it, the dirt could easily get moved as well. That could weaken the structure of the wall, causing it to sink or crack. WaterGuard avoids all of that by essentially making the pipe a part of the floor. It is out of the dirt for another reason, less chance of clogging.

New Dehumidifier for this Basement

This basement in Rehoboth needed a good dehumidifier for their finished basement. 

Homeowner had drafty basement windows

This Homeowner had drafty basement windows and she wanted more natural light. We installed new EverLast windows, all vinyl, easy-opening, airtight and designed for basements. We then installed SunHouse basement window enclosures that will give an attractive, bright, clean solution that keeps rain out, prevents weeds from growing inside, and reflects lots of natural light into the basement.

Plastic Tossed on the Ground is NOT the Same as Encapsulation in Rehoboth Beach, DE

These homeowners love their house. They have invested a great deal of time and finances into making it their home. Thin plastic tossed on the ground in the crawl space was doing nothing to protect the investment that they had made into their home. Humidity and ground water encroachment are evident in this before picture. Team DryZone laid down drainage matting beneath Clean Space 20 millimeter liner. The drainage matting will allow ground water to flow beneath the crawl space liner. The Clean Space liner is uniquely designed for flexibility and longevity along with having an odorless antimicrobial additive which will prevent microbial growth. This is exactly the way homeowners who care about the longevity of their home want their crawl space to be protected.
