Before & After Photos

This basement in Stockton, MD flooded every time it rained. In order to keep the water from making its way onto the floor, DryZone needed to give the water a route to exit the basement. After installing a TripleSafe sump pump system, this basement remains dry even during the heaviest of rains.  

This Stockton, MD home is obviously in great need of a repair. DryZone came out to this home to take a look at the basement and see what the problem was. Our DryZone team found water damage, mold, and debris. 

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. 

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.

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