Local Basement Waterproofing Contractor Serving Stone Harbor, NJ

This homeowner had a plumber out to her property, and he noted that the insulation was moist within the crawl space. The homeowner then reached out to Dry Guys to get an estimate for the crawl space. Our team encapsulated the crawl space by laying down drainage matting on the floor, and installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier on top. The insulation was removed, and was replaced by our SilverGlo insulation, which was then installed along the crawl space walls. A SaniDry Dehumidifier was also installed to prevent moisture, mold, and odors.

After Hurricane Sandy threatened the foundation of Jerry and Marjorie M.'s home, they wanted to repair the damage before it got out of control. Part of the mortar had washed away from the brick wall of the crawl space, weakening it and increasing the potential for dangerous cracks to form. When they called Dry Guys for help, we sent System Designer Dave Davis to find a solution.

Dave told the couple about our SmartVent flood vents. In the event of a flood, water pressure on the outside of the foundation pushing in is what causes cracks and bowing. For this reason, SmartVents are perfect for areas prone to flooding. They open during a flood to let water flow both ways in and out of the crawl space, equalizing the pressure and taking all of that strain off the foundation. Jerry and Marjorie had six of these installed, their mortar fixed, and an EverLast crawl space door put in for easy access to their crawl space. Thanks to the Dry Guys Team, Jerry and Marjorie's foundation will be better protected from large storms and flooding in the future.
