Before & After Photos

Everyone deserves a place of their own and often for most men this comes in the form of the mancave. And there is no better place for one than the basement with it's isolated location removing you from the chaos of the rest of the house. Us here at DryZone want to make sure that your basement is more than up to the task. To do this we will install flooding prevention in the form of a TripleSafe and WaterGuard which will keep your basement dry. Next we will install CleanSpace on the wall that prevents moisture from seeping through and brightness up your basement environment. 

When it comes to keeping your basement dry there is no better system than the TripleSafe Sump Pump system.  It is designed to be ready for every eventuality with it's backup battery in case of flooding and multiple pumps incase of failure. 

This home in Dover, DE had no sump pump system. DryZone was called out and installed a new sump pump system into the home. The home owners were very pleased with the new system in their home.

How many people have seen this kind of sump pump in a friend's basement? Or have you seen it in your own home? This set up is pretty typical in homes that around 20+ years old. Basically, the builder put a terracotta pipe (similar to a flower pot) in the ground before pouring the floor in the basement. It creates a small pit, usually about the size of a one foot cube. They they may or may not add a store bought pump in the hole. This may have been ok all those years ago, but the knowledge and technology have advanced since then. We now know that a larger sump pit with a sealed lid is the way to go. A larger pit means the pump itself doesn't run as often and that will keep it from burning up. A sealed lid keeps humidity in the pit instead of in the air where it can add to nasty smells in the basement. Also, in this particular home, the homeowner opted for a battery back-up sump pump. This a a great feature for anyone worried about pump failure, power outage, or any other problems related to your sump pump.

Do you have a leaky basement door? So many homeowners in the low laying Delmarva peninsula experience water coming in right under the door. It makes a huge mess and the basement smells awful. The WaterGuard drainage system can handle the perimeter walls, and luckily the trench drain that DryZone uses is the same shape as WaterGuard. These two sections can fit together easily so that you still get a continuous drainage system. Finish the whole thing off with a TripleSafe sump pump system and your basement is guaranteed to be dry and secure.
