This homeowner in Cohasset, MA contacted us because his sump pump was not keeping up. He wanted a solution that would keep his whole basement dry. Along with a full perimeter system and an additional sump pump liner in another corner of the basement, we upgraded his existing sump to a SuperSump. We also hooked up his generic dehumidifier to be drained to this sump. His Sedona is draining to the other sump across the room.
A very common concern we hear is about fieldstone foundations in basements, like this one in Cohasset, MA. The stone and concrete combination usually has a hard time holding up against water so those problems are not uncommon in fieldstone basements. Our solution for those leaking walls is Waterguard around the perimeter with CleanSpace on the walls. While the Waterguard collects any leakage, the CleanSpace keeps the water seeping through from getting into the basement and directs it right into the drainage system. The CleanSpace also keeps out pests and prevents any mold growth from happening on those walls, and not to mention a much cleaner look to the basement.
In Cohasset, MA this crawlspace was a mess before we got to work in it! There was old insulation, dirt, and old plastic everywhere, it was time for an upgraded space. After cleaning out the crawlspace, we installed TerraBlock ground insulation with CleanSpace vapor barrier on top to keep the pests out and inside the crawl controlled. Along with a SaniDry Sedona, the dehumidifier was added to take and keep the moisture out.

Burned Out Sump Pump 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!
Moist Basement In Cohasset, MA
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.
Cohasset Basement Gets Treated With All The Bells And Whistles
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!
