Before & After Photos

This sump pump upgrade in North Kingstown, RI is transformative! These homeowners previously had a DIY sump setup that was not fully enclosed, so a cover was fashioned out of a spare scrap of wood with a hole cut notched out for the discharge line. In the 'before' photo down below, you can see one of DryZone's technicians disassembling the set up to be able to remove the cover and safely take the setup apart. In the 'after' photo, you will see a clean and neatly installed TripleSafe sump pump liner and UltraSump 4 battery powered back up system. Not every home or project will call for a full waterproofing system, stacked to the 9's with all the bells and whistles we can offer! Sometimes, simply upgrading the pump or adding a battery back up system is what is needed to help make a system more efficient for our homeownes. With this new TripleSafe liner & lid, and UltraSump 4 - these homeowners have a beautiful new setup, and the added protection of the battery back up in case they ever lose power!

This homeowner in North Kingstown, RI gave us a call because their basement was having some moisture issues along the walls and it's floor was always extremely cold in the winter months. Our inspector, Steve, went to the home and drew up a solution. On installation day, our foreman, Riley, and his crew installed our BrightWall paneling along the walls to solve the moisture issues and it also is a great way to spruce up a dark basement! They also installed ThermalDry Floor Matting over the basement floor to create a thermal break. Not only will the basement floor be warmer, but it will also be moisture and mold resistant. Now the homeowner feels much better about their basement walls and floor!

This crawlspace had a makeshift vapor barrier that was not helping with the moisture problem at all, it was only a band-aid. This Narragansett home is right on the water so the musty, earthy smell in the crawl space was too much for this homeowner to handle. We installed an all new vapor barrier to fully encapsulate the space and get rid of the smell and moisture. We were happy to help and make this home more comfortable to live in!

Here is a perfect example of why you should get an annual maintenance on your sump pump system. This system in Narragansett, RI had iron buildup on their pumps, too much of this can cause problems with the function of the pumps. Buildup on the pumps can lead to the pumps not going off when they are needed, which means a flooded basement. Not even just iron, but dirt or sand can build up in the liner of the pump and cause problems for the pump. Our service technicians do thorough inspections and cleanings of the pump and your waterproofing system so they can catch any potential issues before they become real problems.

After meeting the homeowner of this Narragansett, RI house at a home show, we learned about the issues he was seeing with a crack in his basement and were able to educate him on our solution, the FlexiSpan system. The FlexiSpan uses a polyurethane sealant that is durable and flexible, so it can get deep into the crack and withstand any foundation movement.
