Foundation Repair in Fenwich Island, DE

A home in Fenwick Island, Delaware had a major problem. The foundation was actually cracking in a horizontal angle. If the problem was not solved by that day, everyone at DryZone was afraid that this home owner would no longer have a home. We immediately took precaution and action. We had installed Wall Anchors, which are used to form the house back up and keep it that way. What we do is we go about 12 ft away from the home and dig a hole, there we will place the Earth Anchor down after we place in the rod. The rod is placed in the ground outward after we drill a hole in the foundation wall we can then place the anchor itself and tighten it.

Pumps

DryZone sells a variety of pumps. Coming in many styles and functions. A home owner had called us because she needed a new pump bad. Her old one was overflowing and it just was not keeping up like when she had first got it years before.

It's important to have your piers wrapped

The purpose of the piers are to hold up your home, but those piers can cause ground water and air to get in your crawl space if not wrapped properly when encapsulating a crawl space. DryZone can make sure those piers are correctly wrapped with the vapor barrier to keep any moisture or water from coming in.

Improving a crawlspace entrance

This home had an old sheet metal door on the crawlspace entrance. It was rusted and warped and provided almost no protection from the elements. Also, the ground was sloped towards the entry and so when it rained the water would flow right towards the door. The brand new Everlast crawlspace door will stand up to the elements and never rust or warp. The new shroud and bed of stone will help to keep the rain water away from the door and out of the crawlspace.

Queen Anne, MD basement nightmare gets a makeover

This home in Queen Anne, MD was a unique situation. It was basically an old crawlspace that someone dug out years ago to make a cellar. The walls were caving in and dirt was everywhere. DryZone went in and built a retaining wall. We then used a combination of basement waterproofing and crawlspace encapsulation strategies to transform the space into something usable.
