Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Westerly, RI was irritated after seeing a giant puddle of water at the doorway entrance to his bulkhead. This area had openings that was letting in water seepage, and there was no way to drain this area. Not until we installed our TrenchDrain, our grated basement drain to make sure no surface water builds up anymore! 

This homeowner from Westerly, RI wanted to improve the air quality in his basement. The air felt humid, which can cause mold to grow onto any organic material, such as the wood supporting the floor above! If that wood were to be overtaken by mold, a structural collapse could occur, severely injuring anybody living there. To give this homeowner an everlasting peace of mind, our production crew covered the interior walls with CleanSpace wall vapor barrier to prevent the outside moisture from coming in. Lastly, they hooked up a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to dry out the humid air which greatly increased the air quality! 

Above are before and after photos of a crack. We utilized our Flexispan crack repair system. We had previously done work for this homeowner, and he recently noticed a crack in his basement wall. The crack was leaking water into his basement and he knew that DryZone Basement Systems was who he should call.

Our inspector went to the home to take a look at the crack and determined we could use our Flexispan system to seal it. Our team went out and filled the crack from top to bottom with our special Flexispan sealent.

Flexispan differs from other crack fillers or sealents in two major ways. First, Flexispan eliminates the use of messy expoxy injections and instead seals the crack with a flexible sealent that will stop water seeping through the crack. The other key factor in our Flexispan system is that it doesn't end with sealent. Our system uses an additional step to make sure that no seepage will make it pass the sealent. A second layer of  beveled foam is used, which would drain any small amount of additional seepage down into your drainage system or into a small drywell created under the basement floor. 

We were on our annual service checkup for this customer in Shrewsbury, MA when our Service Specialist Mike found a large amount of iron ochre in the sump pump basin. This is a bacteria in the water that will grow on the pump, in the discharge line, in the WaterGuard and all that needs to be done is a hot water flushing and cleaning. 

In the first photo, notice the efflorescence of the wall from water coming into the basement. There is also water damage to the floors.

The second photo is a shot of our UltraSump and SuperSump Plus. The UltraSump is the black box in the photo. It is a battery backup, making the pump work even during power outages. The drying concrete around the perimeter of the room is where WaterGuard sub-floor drainage was installed to guide water to the pump.
