Before & After Photos

This is a night and day difference in this basement! Proper water proofing and brightwall installation will make all the difference in functionality and comfort for these homeowners. Not to mention the fact that water was clearly damaging the integrity of this home before Team DryZone arrived on the scene!

Wet basements are no fun. This basement had a majoy sump pump upgrade from this wimpy pump laid in a hole with no protection from the soil to this Triple Safe pump with battery backup. These homeowners now have a powerful sump pump which sits on a stand which will protect against system blockage. The battery backup gives them peace of mind during a power outage as well!

Most older homes that have sump pumps installed in the basement need updated equipment. The old pumps are either broken or aren't strong enough. Many times the hole itself isn't large enough and actually contributes to the sump pump getting over used. DryZone uses a much larger sump pit than the average home currently has. The container is sealed so the smells and water vapor won't escape. Since the container is bigger, the pump takes longer to turn on and pumps out more water in one cycle. Short cycling, when the pump turns on and off in a small amount of time, will destroy a sump pump.

This home in northern Delaware would leak every time it rained. The homeowner would also notice that the water would seep in a couple days after the rain. DryZone inspector, Johnny Scarborough, explained that it was because the hollow concrete blocks fill up with water. Over time, the blocks drain out and the basement will be wet several days after a storm. DryZone crews make sure to drill the blocks at the base of the wall to relieve the pressure and allow the water to flow into our WaterGuard system. The "after" picture is more of an "almost finished" picture. You can see the nice layer of stone and solid construction of the WaterGuard pipe. The white wall liner is to prevent the tiny leaks from spraying out over the drain.

This father and son needed support and encapsulation underneath their home in New Castle, DE. We installed 2 supplemental beams, 14 SmartJacks, and a full CleanSpace encapsulation to make sure this home is standing strong for a lifetime!
