Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Berlin, MD wanted to finally take care of their investment with a call to DryZone. 

We installed CleanSpace liner, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and a TripleSafe sump pump to keep their crawlspace controlled!

This owner had previously had problems with their basement flooding and so they called a contractor who instead of actually fixing the issue just gave them another underperforming sump pump. When their basement flooded yet again they decided it was time to give DryZone a call and we sent out one of their crews to fix their basement up. The first step in this was giving them on of the best sump pump available on the market the TripleSafe and installing waterguard to make sure that water will flow towards the sump pump. Now the homeowner has a dry basement and doesn't have the eyesore of the previous sump pumps. 

This basement had recently flooded so the homeowners decided to call the experts here at DryZone to come out and make sure it won't happen again. To do this we start with the installation of a WaterGuard which will redirect water from around the basement to the newly installed TripleSafe SumpPump. The TripleSafe has replaced their former SumpPump because it has a higher water displacement which will keep the basement dry. 

Because this home is built with a monolithic foundation, a foundation constructed in two pieces as opposed to three, the best drainage is acquired with DryTrak! DryTrak is installed mostly above the floor and gives the appearance of a baseboard while still operating like a trench drain. This system captures water that gets guided down the basement walls and leads it to a sump pump. 

This crawl space was in rough shape. Standing water caused a humidity issue that was impacting the home in several ways. The most obvious effect of the water and high humidity was the drooping and degraded insulation which had to be removed. Even more disturbing was the growth of mold along the floor joists. This humidity and mold growth can contribute to illness in the people who live in the home. Team DryZone came and removed the damaged insulation and floor debris. We also applied Mold-X to the floor joists which removed the stains from the previous mold growth and also helped prevent future mold growth. Clean Space with Drainage Matting and Clean Space Pier Wrap helped prevent underground water seepage. The final touch was a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier which will control humidity going forward. The result is a beautiful and safe crawl space and happy homeowners!
