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.
Take a look at the old, pre-existing sump and then see the after picture of our sump.
This homeowner in Shrewsbury, MA had an existing sump pump that was in its dying days. It was not pumping water out whenever it rained and would constantly get clogged up. The sump pit kept getting filled up with debris which can cause the sump pump to malfunction. To provide a reliable solution, our production team installed the TripleSafe sump pump. This comes with a bigger sump pit and a lid that will prevent debris and dirt to enter!
