These homeowners contacted Basement Systems of New York because they noticed that their block foundation wall nearest their sidewalk up to the front door was bowing. Because of the issue, they were having they wanted to repair the damage before it became a bigger headache and cost to fix.
To fix the problem at hand we had to temporarily brace the home from inside the garage in order to make sure that our Installation Specialist were safe throughout the entirety of the project. We then started excavating the earth near their foundation wall in order to gain better access to the foundation wall. Finally, we knocked down part of their old block foundation wall. Once this was completed our Installation Specialist started to rebuild their foundation wall before lowing the home back onto the foundation
Since having us rebuild part of their block foundation these homeowners have noticed that their home feels structurally sound again, as well as the sounds they were hearing before have disappeared. More importantly than anything though they do not have to worry about the home falling down.

This homeowner sought our help to transform their wet basement into a usable space. After inspection, we identified the need for a year-round dry basement and implemented a Dual Waterproofing system. Traditional systems were not suitable due to the home's monolithic foundation, which utilized the slab as a footing. If we installed a traditional waterproofing system we would be compromising the structural integrity of the home. Additionally, cracks in the slab caused hydrostatic pressure. To resolve this, we installed separate laterals on both sides of the basement. To enhance the space without finishing it, we applied our Foamax panels, which provide a finished appearance. Moreover, we addressed structural concerns by providing permanent support through the installation of Smartjacks. Additionally, the crawl spaces required attention, as the existing beams spanned too large an area, and sections of the footing were undermined. Our solution involved pouring slabs into each of the crawl spaces to rectify these issues. At Basement Systems Of New York, we're committed to creating functional and structurally sound spaces while addressing waterproofing and structural challenges.

This homeowner reached out to us because their front steps had sunk and become uneven, creating both an eyesore and a tripping hazard.
To fix the problem, we first drilled down to the void beneath the steps and injected our PolyLevel® commercial-grade foam to lift, level, and stabilize them. Once the structure was secure, we turned our attention to restoring their appearance.
Using our brick overlay process, we ground the surface clean, applied a bonding agent, and after curing, carefully laid out a new brick pattern. The result? Steps that are not only safe and stable but beautifully refreshed with restored color and design.
The homeowner couldn’t be happierthe hazard is gone, and their entryway now looks better than ever.
