Waterproofing the Johnson Victrola Museum in Dover, DE

DryZone LLC.
(IC: professional)
Challenge
What made this project difficult is that there was a lot riding on the system functioning at 100% efficiency. The Johnson Victrola Museum houses phonographs, recordings, and other related antiques worth several hundred thousand dollars in total. If for some reason the WaterGuard® system failed, the displays and stored items could be irreparably damaged. Most of these items are over 100 years old and it wouldn’t take much water to damage them. Thankfully, after a year and one of the wettest summers that Delaware has ever seen, the basement is still bone dry. The sump pump is fully functional and the drainage pipes are keeping all the ground water under the basement floor.To read more about this project:
