Basement Systems of New York Before & After Photos

These homeowners contacted Basement Systems Of New York because they had water in their unfinished basement. Unfortunately, they did not know how or where the water was penetrating their home from, they only knew that they could no longer deal with water being in their home.

To fix the issue, we jackhammered around the perimeter of their basement and installed our patented Two-Stage Waterproofing system. As well, we jackhammered two laterals for their system. These laterals were installed, both diagonally and horizontally. By installing these laterals we can ensure that their system will function properly. When water enters their home, it will be caught by our system, directed to our SuperSump Plus sump pump system, and discharged from the home. This comprehensive system will keep their home dry forever.

These homeowners can now rest easy knowing that their home is protected from water penetrating it. Since waterproofing their walkout basement they have been able to regain valuable space that they can use to store their valuables, as well entertain. More importantly than anything they have peace of mind back.  

This homeowner had recently just purchased their new home. They decided to call Basement Systems Of New York because they were experiencing structural issues along the back wall of their home, a sagging main girder as well water penetrating their home.

To fix the structural issues on the back wall of their home, we installed PowerBraces. PowerBraces use the weight of the floor joists and the home to counter pressure the earth pushing in on the walls and restore structural integrity.

Then we removed their old screw jacks. Screw jacks are not up to building code. Screw jacks are not ideal because they are temporary, not permanent supports. To properly support this home and ensure that their main girder was not sagging, we replaced their old screw jacks with SmartJacks. Their home is now structurally reinforced, and their home is sound.

We then installed CleanSpace on the walls. This 20 mil thick vapor barrier will catch any water that enters the home. Once the water we catch the water it is directed to our WaterGuard New Slab system and directed out of the home via our sump pump.

Since completing their project they have noticed a tremendous difference in the overall health of their home. More importantly, than anything peace of mind was restored to them. Because of this, they are grateful that they decide to invest in their home and not let a smaller problem become a bigger one.  

These homeowners contacted Basement Systems of New York because they noticed throughout the entirety of their home their floors sagged and had a bounce to them. This was due in part to condensation and moisture attacking their wood, this ultimately rotted out all their floor joists and main girder. 

To take care of the issue throughout the entire home we had to perform our work on three separate areas in their ginormous crawl space. These areas for our Installation Specialists were broken down into the room closest to the driveway, the middle room, and the room with the crawl space entrance. In doing this we made the project extremely decipherable to our foreman, as well allowed our team to tackle the most difficult areas first.

To take care of the issues in the room closest to the driveway we had to dig down several feet in order to establish our area to install our pre-cast footings. These pre-cast footings would eventually be the supports for our SmartJack support systems with steel i-beams. Once their new sports were installed we then began to sister all of their floor joists. After these steps were completed we then dug down in front of their damaged wall and formed a new stepped footing, which we pinned rebar into and then poured a new wall.

After completing this room we moved onto the middle room. Here we began establishing the areas for our pre-cast footings. We then proceeded to install our SmartJack support systems with steel i-beams. Once this was done we then sistered all of their floor joists. Finally, before finishing this area off we removed their old main girder and replaced it with a brand new quadruple 2x10 main girder. 

Finally, we worked on the area of their crawl space that contained the entrance. Here we installed four SmartJack support systems with steel i-beams, which ran from the entryway to the front of their new main girder. We then sistered twenty-three of their floor joists. 

Since implementing these systems the structural integrity of this home and its floors home have returned to the status they were in when the home was originally purchased over thirty years ago. 

We received a phone call from a concerned home owner looking to resolve an issue with what he called "A Nightmare Crawlspace". He expressed being concerned about the energy efficiency and unhealthy environment of his home. After a free evaluation our certified professionals replaced all his moldy fiberglass with spray foam insulation and sealed his crawlspace with our 25 year warrantied CleanSpace crawlspace liner.

The home owner is very pleased and now has a storage area instead of a nightmare.

Our team was called upon to address the sinking and discoloration issues of the pool deck. To rectify the problem, we employed a highly effective solution. Firstly, we carefully drilled 5/8th pilot holes around the entire pool deck, reaching the depths of the voids. We filled these voids using our advanced PolyLevel technology, effectively lifting, leveling, and supporting the deck. This meticulous process ensured that the deck was once again level, eliminating tripping hazards. Following the successful leveling process, we focused on revitalizing the appearance of the concrete. Our environmentally safe cleaner was applied to prepare the surface, and a thorough power washing was conducted to remove dirt, grime, and stains. Once the deck was clean and ready, we expertly applied our walnut color stain, Deco Shield. This transformative application restored the deck's aesthetic appeal and harmonized its appearance with the homeowner's residence, fence, and surrounding areas. The homeowners were thrilled with the results we achieved. They expressed their satisfaction with removing tripping hazards and ensuring the safety of their pool area. Additionally, they were delighted with the remarkable transformation of their pool deck, giving it the appearance of a brand-new pool that seamlessly blended with their home. The professionalism and expertise exhibited by our skilled crews left a lasting impression on the homeowners, who were grateful to have chosen us for this project.
