Basement Systems of New York Before & After Photos

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.

These homeowners contacted Basement Systems of New York to see what could be done to help make their pool deck more functional, as well as remove the hazard and eyesores that had occurred due to poor soil conditions and water drainage issues. 

To address the problem at hand, we drilled our 5/8th pilot holes and filled the void below the deck till it was level. By doing this we were able to bring the pool deck back to level, remove the hazard and eyesores, and address the poor soil condition and drainage issue that was plaguing their deck. 

A concerned homeowner reached out to us due to persistent water infiltration issues in their barn. The barn's floor was severely deteriorated, lacking proper slope for water drainage, and offering insufficient storage accessibility. To address these problems effectively, we embarked on a comprehensive restoration project. Here's how we tackled it:

1. Creating Proper Drainage: We began by excavating the areas in front of the barn doors to establish the required slope for efficient water management and better utilization of the space.

2.  

3. Forming the Foundation: After achieving the correct depth, we meticulously constructed 2x10 wooden forms to shape the concrete foundation. These forms served as the framework for our concrete work.

4.  

5. Enhancing Structural Integrity: Ensuring long-term stability and strength, we strategically placed both vertical and horizontal rebar, providing the necessary structural support for the concrete slabs.

6.  

7. Pouring New Slabs: With our preparations complete, we proceeded to pour two fresh concrete slabs—one outside the front barn doors and one outside the back barn doors. These slabs would be instrumental in resolving the water infiltration issue.

8.  

9. Barn-Wide Restoration: Our efforts extended to pouring a new concrete slab throughout the entire barn, revitalizing the entire space.

10.  

11. With this comprehensive project completed, the barn has been restored to its former glory. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but it is also now a fully functional space, free from the constant threat of water damage. The homeowners are delighted with their investment in restoring the barn's functionality and appearance.

Our success in transforming this barn demonstrates the importance of addressing foundational issues to create a safe, functional, and visually appealing space.
