Check out these awesome flood vents! If you live in a flood area or the beach area and you want a flood insurance policy, odds are that a requirement from the insurance companies is to install flood vents. The SmartVent flood vents stay closed on any normal given day to help protect your crawlspace from the outside humid air. However, when there is a flood, the floating mechanism built into the design allows them to open up and let the water in and out, relieving the pressure off your foundation walls. Normally water in the crawlspace is bad; however, pumping out and drying a crawlspace is MUCH easier than fixing a damaged foundation.

These homeowners from Bethany Beach have the right idea! Take precautions BEFORE something bad happens. From the old grate system, to the new SmartVent flood vents - these homeowners gained added protection from floods and possible extensive foundation damage.

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.

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.

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.

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.
