Reliable Basement & Crawl Space Waterproofing Solutions in Cohasset, MA

A customer in Cohasset, MA contacted our appointment center because he wanted to replace his old sump pump. The issue was that his sump pump would constantly run, causing it to eventually burn out from overworking. Although the motor was strong enough to move water, it was no use anymore after constantly running without stopping or taking a break. Our inspector went to the customer's home to evaluate the situation more in depth so he could provide the best solution for the basement. Afterwards, the inspector told the customer that we could swap out with our TripleSafe sump pump. Eventually, our production team came in to install the TripleSafe near the old sump pump, so they made a new sump pit that is bigger! The inspector informed the customer that this sump pump system comes with scheduled maintenance checks so we can make sure it's in peak shape or to identify issues early on so nothing burns out! 

This customer in Cohasset, MA found us online and wanted to explore a vapor barrier for his basement. His basement wasn't in terrible condition, but it did feel humid in there. When our inspector visited his home, he informed the homeowner that moisture was causing the humidity in the basement, so he suggested that we install CleanSpace wall vapor barrier along with a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. We got the green light to install, and our production crew lined up the walls with CleanSpace to prevent moisture from getting in. The SaniDry Sedona will take away water from the air, decreasing the moisture and humidity! This homeowner felt very pleased with our work because his basement was easier to breathe in. 

Chris N. in Cohasset, Massachusetts contacted DryZone after researching companies on Angie's List. He had purchased a home that had a small section of basement with a fieldstone foundation. It connected to the new, poured concrete basement. Like many homes in the area, the house also had a fieldstone crawlspace. 

Chris had concerns about the structural intergrity of the lally columns in the basement and crawlspace. He was looking to have the rotting fiberglass insulation removed and replaced with a better solution, such as spray foam. He wanted a dehumidifier, encapsulation and a battery back up for the existing sump pump.

Sam Crowley went out to inspect the basement and crawlspace and develop a solution. We encapulated the crawlspace with a 20 mil vapor barrier called CleanSpace after removing the debris from the fiberglass insulation. On the basement side, we installed our WaterGuard drain system to carry the water to a SuperSump. We also replaced an existing sump pump with another SuperSump for extra protection. The SaniDry Sedona was set up to drain into the new sump. This unit can dehumidify a crawlspace or a full basement and can remove up to 100 pints of water an hour! DryZone and the installation crew, lead by Steve DaSilva, installed a SmartJack to stabilize the lally columns that were compromised. There was also a leaking crack that was repaired with FlexiSpan. Finally. our spray foam technician. Matt Bezarro, came in to spray the rim joists with the foam solution.

Chris is extremely happy with the results in his new home, all of his issues were addressed and he is ready to enjoy his new investment!
