Basement Waterproofing & Crawl Space Repair Experts | Serving Worcester, Warwick, Brockton, Boston, Cape Cod, Providence, and Greater MA & RI

Cape Cod Water Solution

2026-09-02T13:55:17.05Z

At the installation, the crew encapsulated the attached crawl space that was contributing to the humidity in the air. The encapsulation and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier would help reduce moisture in the air. Around the basement, WaterGuard piping was installed to collect seeping water. The WaterGuard sits below the surface of the floor, on the footing, and collects water from the foundation’s weakest point. That water is then directed into the TripleSafe sump pump where it gets pumped up and out of the basement. The TripleSafe has three pumps, one being a battery powered backup pump, making it a reliable choice for this basement!

Foundation Focus: Bouncy Floor Fix

2026-09-02T00:00:00.05Z

Bouncy or creaking floors can feel more like an annoyance than a structural problem, but it is! Those symptoms are typically due to weakened floor joists or excessive framing spans in the floor above the basement or crawl space. Moisture exposure causing rot, improper installation or too much weight added to the floor above are also reasons that the joists and existing supports could be weak or sinking. Luckily, fixing this issue is easy with the right tools and right company doing the job!

Our team uses the SmartJack system to support the existing columns and redistribute the weight of the home. The columns are made from galvanized steel, secured to an existing or supplemental beam. The top brackets are adjustable so that they can be tightened over time, potentially bringing the floor above back up to its original height if there is sagging or sloping.

Installation of the SmartJack system is nondisruptive and improves the property value of the home, making it an easy solution to an annoying problem!

Hanson, MA Real Estate Basement Transformation

2026-09-01T15:53:14.05Z

Our crew got in as soon as we could and installed WaterGuard piping to collect water around the basement. That water was then directed to the SuperSump Plus sump pump for removal. The basement was finished previously, but that was no issue since we have restoration solutions including EverLast Hall Wall and Elite Plank Flooring to get this basement back to beautiful! A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to complete the work and keep this space dry and healthy for the next owners!

North Weymouth, MA Reliable Sump Pump

2026-08-31T14:51:10.05Z

After a big rain in North Weymouth, MA, this basement’s sump pump failed and it flooded! The owner gave DryZone Basement Systems a call to get some help so this would never happen again and they could get some peace of mind. The inspector that went out for the free estimate looked at the existing system and proposed a new and reliable system that would keep their basement dry.

Water Prevention in Worcester, MA

2026-08-27T13:35:08.05Z

The crew got to work and installed a SuperSump Plus sump pump. The liner of this pump comes with one pump but has room to upgrade and added a battery backup as well if there is an excess of water coming in. WaterGuard piping went along the seam of the wall and floor of the foundation, intercepting any water seepage that would make its way in. On the wall, CleanSpace Wall vapor barrier was fastened to keep moisture out of the basement and direct it into the channel below. All these components work together to protect this area from potential water leaks in their basement!

Chimney Stabilization in Providence, RI

2026-08-26T13:51:50.05Z

This homeowner in Providence, RI was referred to us when they noticed their chimney leaning away from their house and contacted a few people to find out what to do. Our team sent our inspector out to take a look and they were able to determine that the outside edge of the chimney was sinking, causing that lean. They proposed adding piers to stabilize the chimney and reduce the leaning.

Dirt Basement Transformation in Douglas, MA

2026-08-26T11:45:13.05Z

Since the walls are stone and the floor is dirt, the crew wrapped the basement in our CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal moisture out of the basement. Underneath the vapor barrier, StarPipe was installed in the dirt floor to collect water. StarPipe has a shield around the pipe to stop debris and dirt from getting in and clogging the pipes. The pipes were connected to a TripleSafe sump pump that will remove the collected water from the basement. They also installed a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier and Aspen Air Purifier. These systems will absorb moisture from the air and purify it, making the basement dry and healthy!

Moist Fieldstone in Milford, MA

2026-08-24T14:12:22.05Z

In Milford, MA, the owners of this home reached out for some help with their basement being moist. Our inspector took some photos and measurements of the basement, noticing it was fieldstone, and educating the homeowners on how water seepage was very common with fieldstone foundations. Over time, the mortar between the stone can wear away and water will find its way through. Luckily, since it is common, we are very experienced in solving this problem and have a solution for them!

Foundation Focus: Push & Helical Piers

2026-08-24T00:00:00.05Z

You’ve found cracks in your basement walls and the windows upstairs have been harder to open and close. You are now faced with a settling foundation and wondering what can be done?

Depending specifically on the cracks and status of the foundation will depend on the solution your home needs, but commonly with a settling foundation, piers are the way to go. Steel piers permanently stabilize your home with the potential to lift the home, closing cracks and fixing window and door functions.

There are two main types of piers, push and helical. Both piers require soil around the foundation to be removed to expose the footing to install the pier. A steel bracket is placed under the footing and then the piers are moved via hydraulic equipment. Once the piers are placed, and a lift is attempted, if possible, the soil is backfilled. The system is now out of sight, but the benefits remain!

Push Piers

These steel piers are pushed into the ground, hence the name “Push” Piers! The piers are pushed in until they hit bedrock, transferring the weight of the home from the concrete foundation to the piers and bedrock below. Push Pier installs have the best opportunity when attempting to lift the home.

Helical Piers

These piers are installed very similarly to the Push Piers, but instead of being pushed, they are screwed into the earth. They are screwed until they reach the appropriate depth depending on the type of soil around the home and once they reach load-bearing depths, they can then hold the weight of the home. With helical piers, a lift is possible, but they are a good choice for lighter structures or with a Push Pier for optimal support.

When addressing the issue of foundation settlement, it’s best to call in the professionals, like DryZone Basement Systems! Our team is trained to inspect the foundation and find the best solution based on their findings and your specific home.

Basement with Radon in North Scituate, RI

2026-08-20T14:54:29.05Z

To solve the water problem, the team installed a TripleSafe sump pump system and grated drain along the doorway. With radon, the grated drain was our TrenchDrain with our TrenchLock. TrenchLock is a tray added in the TrenchDrain that contains an airtight cup and floating ball that lets water flow down, but air cannot come back up. With all our sump pumps, we use closed lid systems, so the top is sealed to prevent air from under the floor from escaping into the basement. All these components work effortlessly in basements with radon, so the “hurdle” was no problem!

Crawl Space Support in Holland, MA

2026-08-20T14:38:26.05Z

After an inspection, our team was able to go into the encapsulated crawl space and added our SmartJacks to supplement the existing supports. SmartJacks are made of galvanized steel so they are sturdy and designed to last. They have an adjustable top bracket that can be adjusted to bring the floor above back up to its original spot, reducing bounce and sloping. The install was simple and the SmartJacks were able to add support and extra value to the home!

Providence, RI Wall Seepage Solution

2026-08-18T16:41:57.05Z

Our team was able to address the problem area and install a few of our products to waterproof the space! A SuperSump Plus sump pump system was installed to remove the water collected from the basement and that water will be collected by the WaterGuard pipe system along the seam of the wall. Also, along the wall is our CleanSpace Wall vapor barrier, which will keep any wall seepage out of the basement and is designed to work perfectly with our WaterGuard. With these products, the owners of this basement will be happy knowing that water worries are a thing of the past!

Foster, RI Basement Water Solution

2026-08-17T15:59:23.05Z

In Foster, RI, a homeowner had water and moisture concerns in their basement and crawl space that they needed a solution for! The inspector looked at the basement and crawl space to address the concerns. In the basement, water was seeping in along the edge of the foundation, where the floor and wall meet. That area is also the weakest part of the foundation, so a common spot for groundwater seepage to occur. Luckily, we have solutions designed specifically for these types of concerns!

Crawl Space Humidity Control in Foster, RI

2026-08-17T15:44:10.05Z

The crew went into the crawl space with a plan in place from the inspector and homeowner, encapsulation, insulation and dehumidification! First, they encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace vapor barrier to prevent moisture from saturating the air in the crawl. Around the foundation, SilverGlo insulation was installed to help regulate the temperature, even in the cold and hot seasons! Finally, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was added to absorb any humidity, adding to the health of the crawl space and home!

Foundation Focus: Signs of Foundation Damage

2026-08-19T00:00:00.05Z

Having a strong, stable foundation is not only important in life, but also in home ownership. Homes are a large investment and having a solid foundation can provide peace of mind and security for your family.

There are many components that can cause foundation sinking and cracking, the key is knowing the signs so you can address them quickly and fix them correctly!

Cracked Foundation

Cracks in your foundation wall, like stair-step or vertical cracks, are common signs of foundation settlement. As your home continues to settle, the cracks will widen, so it’s important to get eyes on it once it’s found to prevent further damage.

Sticking Doors and Windows

When the foundation settles, it can cause shifts to your home that can affect your window and door frames, making them hard to open or close. Since they are the weakest parts of your walls, they are typically one of the first signs of foundation settlement.

Sagging Floors

Uneven, bouncy or sagging floors can be caused by your foundation sinking on one side or the supports in your basement or crawl space no longer being strong enough to hold the floor at its original level. Not only are the creaks annoying, but they will also worsen over time if not addressed.

Bowing Walls

A bowing wall in your basement is a clear sign your foundation wall needs to be inspected! As the soil around your foundation changes, the difference in pressure to the wall can cause movement, leading to a leaning wall and cracks in the foundation.

If you notice any of these symptoms in your home, don’t worry! The team here at DryZone Basement Systems are experts and here to help with your foundation concerns!

Norwood, MA Water Invasion Solution

2026-08-17T14:31:46.05Z

After coming up with a plan to fix the concerns, our crew got to work! They installed WaterGuard pipe around the border of the basement, where the foundation wall and floor meet, to collect that water. The WaterGuard sits on the footing, below the surface of the floor to collect that seepage before it makes it way into the basement. That then connects to the TripleSafe sump pump where the pumps push the water up and out of the basement, away from the home.

Wet Basement Problem Solved in Taunton, MA

2026-08-13T14:41:48.05Z

After discussing with the inspector and homeowner, the crew made their plan a reality. Since it was such a large basement, the crew installed two sump pump, a SuperSump Plus and TripleSafe to keep the entire basement dry. Those sumps were connected by our WaterGuard pipe system that is installed at the seam of the foundation to collect that water seeping in. Another method to keep this basement dry was CleanSpace Wall. This vapor barrier keeps any wall leaks behind the barrier and directs it into the WaterGuard channel to be removed by the sumps. Now, rain is no longer a point of stress for these homeowners!

Tropical Storm and Hurricane Season Basement Preparedness

2026-08-12T00:00:00.05Z

Tropical storm and hurricane season is a little different for us in New England, though we can still get storms with heavy rains and strong winds! There are key steps to take before the storm makes landfall to protect your home, like securing outside items, boarding windows, and trimming trees of weak branches, but what about your basement?

The Risk

If you’ve had water in your basement during a storm before, you know that it is not a good feeling, and a flooded basement can cause more damage than you realize! Moisture and organic materials create an ideal environment for mold to grow, compromising the health of the whole home. That moisture can also cause the wooden structural components in your home to rot, putting its structural integrity at risk!

The Why

Water follows the path of least resistance. When excessive amounts of water fall and saturate the ground, that water is looking for somewhere to go! Your foundation wall is the only thing between all that water and the open space of your basement. Even with a new and seemingly secure foundation, the seam where your foundation wall and floor meet is the weakest point and can be that small path water needs to get inside.

The Solution

Once water finds a way inside your basement once, it will happen again. The best solution is to waterproof your basement with DryZone Basement Systems to prevent future flooding during the next storm. Around the perimeter of the basement, at that weak point, our team installs WaterGuard piping to collect that water seepage before it enters the basement. That WaterGuard directs the water into a sump pump, typically our strongest sump pump, the TripleSafe! The TripleSafe sump pump system has three pumps, a primary, a secondary and a battery-powered backup. The battery powered backup is ideal for storm situations, as it will automatically kick on if power to the home is lost, making sure your basement stays safe and dry!

If you’ve gotten water in your basement during past storms or want to prevent having to worry about it ever happening at all, give us a call to get a FREE estimate designed specifically for your home!

Buzzards Bay, MA Basement Makeover

2026-08-12T13:39:03.05Z

Our inspector went over all the options on how we could protect this basement from the rainwater leakage they’ve experienced and even how we can help restore the finished parts of the basement that were damaged. The crew started with the waterproofing, installing a TripleSafe sump pump along with WaterGuard pipe around the basement. This combination will collect that rainwater and remove it from the basement. Then, to restore the space, the crew installed our EverLast Wall Restoration. The wall is mold-proof and washable, reliable for basements with a history of water seepage. They also installed Elite Plank flooring for a real wood finish, but without the risk of warping or rotting!

Foundation Focus: Bowing Walls

2026-09-08T00:00:00.05Z

Seeing your foundation wall crack or bow can be scary! This is the structure that is holding up the home that your family is in every day, the thought of having wall failure under your very feet can feel terrifying and stressful. When it comes to bowing walls, it is important to address the concern and stabilize the foundation wall quickly to stop any further advancement. Here we will talk about our solutions to bowing walls and how each solution can help save your foundation from failure!

CarbonArmor

For basement walls that have just started to bow in the middle and don’t currently show signs of sliding at the top or bottom of the foundation, CarbonArmor is a great option. Our least invasive solution, CarbonArmor uses carbon fiber-reinforced polymers that are stronger than steel but flexible enough to contour to the basement wall, creating a strong adhesion between the carbon fiber fabric and concrete wall. With this method, it is installed on the interior, meaning it can be installed year-round and there is no disruption to the exterior lawn or landscaping.

PowerBrace

The PowerBrace system is designed to permanently stabilize your home’s foundation. Zinc-plated steel beams are custom fit to the height of the basement and are secured to the wall with brackets and anchored to the basement floor. These beams add strong support to the basement wall and can potentially help straighten the wall over time. This solution is also installed on the interior, like CarbonArmor, so there is no disturbance to the exterior of the home.

GeoLock Wall Anchors

GeoLock Wall Anchors are a versatile solution since they can stabilize a variety of concerns, like bowing or tipping walls, even walls pushing in from the bottom. They are the best option for severe wall issues and have the greatest ability to straighten the wall over time but do require exterior work. The heavy-duty steel earth anchor is embedded in the stable soil away from the home and connected to the interior steel wall plate by a galvanized steel rod. Once the plates are tightened, they provide secure stabilization to the concerning wall and can continue to be tightened over time.

Each solution is a great option but is dependent on the state your foundation wall is in. If you have a bowing wall that is causing you concern, reduce that stress and have one of our inspectors out for a free estimate! They will take the time to educate you on the areas of concern and how these solutions can help you keep your foundation stable and your family safe!

Why is there Condensation in My Basement?

2026-07-20T00:00:00.05Z

Have you ever gone down into your basement in the summer and suddenly there’s a cold drop on the top of your head, you look up and see the pipe above looks like it’s sweating!

You’re happy it’s not a leak but can’t help but question, what is going on?

Typically, your basement is naturally the coolest place in your house and when the hot and humid air outside seeps into that space, it comes in contact with the cool surface of your pipes, concrete walls or AC ducts. When that warm air and cool surface connects, water droplets form and ta-da, you now have condensation!

Condensation on your glass of lemonade on a hot July day is no concern, but in your home, it is something to take notice of. That moisture in your basement is a gateway for mold, mildew and rot to form. The organic materials in your basement or crawl space, like wood beams or family photos your stored for “safe keeping”, will absorb that moisture and create the perfect all you can eat feast for mold!

The fix? Dehumidification!

A dehumidifier will work to remove excess moisture in the air and keep the relative humidity levels low, absorbing the water vapors from the humid air and stopping condensation from building on your walls and pipes. Our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier is the world’s most efficient, high-performance dehumidifier! The unit can remove up to 95 pints of water per day and you can set it and forget it, it has a humidity sensor and automatic drainage – it basically takes care of itself while keeping your basement or crawl space dry and healthy!

2026-06-22T00:00:00.05Z

DryZone Basement Systems had the honor of partnering with Old Colony Habitat for Humanity for their current project in Franklin, MA. In a few weeks, a family in need will be moving into this beautiful build on Washington Street in the heart of the Franklin community. The former church has been transformed into a modern and safe place for the family to move into, grow, and create memories in. One of the final parts of the project was having the crawl space beneath the home encapsulated to ensure the home will be a healthy environment for the family to live in.

Multiple departments from the DryZone team came together to install our CleanSpace Encapsulation System and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier in the crawl space. Working together on this home meant so much to us, being able to make a difference for this family is beyond rewarding. The family will be able to move into their new home very soon and can feel peace of mind that the space is in perfect condition from top to bottom.

Thank you so much to Old Colony Habitat for Humanity for letting us be a part of this project. To the Marmol Family, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your story, we wish you happiness and peace in your new home!

NuWood Treatment - Soda Blasting

2026-05-26T00:00:00.05Z

!!! NEW SERVICE ALERT !!!

Is the crawl space beneath your home filled with wooden beams?

The answer is most likely yes.

Those wooden beams are susceptible to mold growth which can lead to big issues for your home like sagging floors and musty smells. Thankfully, we now offer our professional NuWood soda blasting mold treatment. When NuWood is combined with our proven crawl space encapsulation system, you're left with a long-term, eco-friendly solution!

So, what on earth is soda blasting?

Let's break it down:

Soda blasting uses sodium bicarbonate, otherwise known as baking soda, the same baking soda you bake with! It is blown with high pressure air at the infected wooden beams in the space. The mold is blown off without damaging the lumber, and falls to the floor. The mold is killed by the blasting action and the soda instantly changes the pH, so what falls is not active mold, but simply dust. The soda blasting leaves the wood clean and looking like new, and encapsulation will prevent it from growing back.

Give us a call or book here for a free estimate and see if NuWood is what your home needs!
