Basement Systems of New York believes that having the right windows in your basement is a big factor in keeping your basement dry. Not only is it an improvement in an aesthetic way but more importantly, it is part of an entire system that will keep your basement dry all the time. In this case, we replaced a basement window with a beautiful window well.
After living in their new home for six months, these new homeowners realized that there were a few serious issues with their home. More specifically these issues pertained to the structural integrity of their home, as well as water penetrating their home. Because of these issues, they decided to contact Basement Systems of New York to see how we could remediate the issues at hand.
By installing our patented systems we will be able to resolve both the direct and indirect effects of the water issues they are dealing with. More importantly, we will be able to restore both structural integrity back to this home and instill peace of mind for the homeowners.
We started by jackhammering their entire concrete slab and removing it. After removing the old concrete slab, we dug down several inches to establish our area for our pre-cast footings. Once all our footing were at the proper depth we laid our pre-cast footings and installed our SmartJack foundation support systems.
Once we installed our SmartJack systems, we moved on to cutting both our drain mat and CleanSpace to the proper dimensions before applying them to the basement walls. After completing the installation of our drain mat and CleanSpace. We then applied our PowerBraces with top lever brackets to the walls.
After applying our PowerBraces with top lever brackets we installed our WaterGuard waterproofing system around the perimeter of the basement, which we tied into our TripleSafe sump pump system with an external discharge line. Finally, we completed this project by pouring a new concrete slab.
Since completing this project, the homeowners have noticed a tremendous difference in the structural integrity of their homes. As well they now have a functional and usable space that is not affecting the comfort levels of their home due to water. They could not have been any happier with how their project came out.

This homeowner's main concerns were that their crawl space needed to be waterproofed, as well that their foundation had issues as they noticed that their floor was slopping. Because of these two reasons, the homeowner contacted us to perform a No-Contact Consultation to provide them with a proposal of solutions.
Because of the issues going on in their home we replaced multiple supports in the crawl space with our SmartJacks with pre-cast footings system to bring their home's floor back to true. Next, we closed the thermal envelope of the crawl space by installing CleanSpace on both the floor and walls to keep the dampness and humidity out of both the crawl space and the entirety of their home. Finally, we installed a crack monitor on any and all cracks that were on the foundation to close them up and to keep an eye on them to determine if they would become bigger or stay constant.
Since installing this multi-tiered system their home has become much more comfortable, they have gained a usable and brighter space, finally, they were able to have a home that did not have structural issues that they had to worry about regardless of the activity that they were performing.
