Basement Systems of New York Before & After Photos

This homeowner called us out originally to review their Midcentury home. The reason why they called us was that they had large cracks that ran throughout their floor, which ran approximately six feet throughout their basement floor. Because of these cracks they believe that they had an issue with dampness.

Upon our Specialist inspecting their basement we realized that cracks in their floor were allowing water and water vapor into their basement, as well as that their foundation had sunken approximately six inches.

To fix the problem we strategically drilled 5/8th pilot holes throughout the basement. Once we had drilled all our holes we started to fill the voids below their slab with PolyLevel. By doing this we could lift, level, and stabilize their foundation. Next, to remediate the water and water vapor issue we epoxyed and sealed the cracks on the floor. By doing this, we are able to make sure that nothing escapes into the basement and the home is comfortable year-round. 

Since completing this project, their home has been free of water and water vapor. They could not be any more pleased with how their project turned out. More importantly than anything, peace of mind has been restored. 

When this homeowner noticed signs of foundation trouble, they turned to us for help after thorough online research. Our consultation with a Design Specialist revealed a significant deflection in their wall, typically requiring extensive rebuilding. Fortunately, our company offers an innovative solution—the Everbrace Wall System—avoiding the need for wall replacement.

We began by installing necessary blocking in the floor joists for our top bracket. Next, we carefully cut concrete to create footings for our PowerBrace systems, applying CleanSpace as a vapor barrier. Sheet metal was then hung to relieve weight from the foundation wall. PowerBraces were installed, and footings were filled with concrete. Finally, we injected PolyLevel through the sheet metal, creating balanced pressure for stable support.

Thanks to our approach, the foundation issues were resolved without disruptive wall replacement, restoring both structural integrity and peace of mind for the homeowners.

This home, built in 1953 with a classic cinder block foundation and an unfinished basement slab, faced a serious threat last Friday night. During heavy rainfall, hydrostatic pressure became too much for one section of the foundation. A cinder block was pushed out from the wall and into the basement, allowing water to flood inside.

To make matters worse, another corner of the slab showed a significant crack and had settled 2 to 3 inches, indicating serious structural movement.

Our team sprang into action to protect the home and restore its foundation. First, we installed temporary supports to stabilize the structure and prevent further damage. Then, we excavated around the foundation down to the footing, carefully removing the compromised wall.

Next, we rebuilt the foundation from the footing up, replacing it with a new footing and block wall. To ensure long-term strength, we installed carbon fiber strips on the basement walls, tying everything together for 100% structural integrity.

Before backfilling, we parged the exterior wall and applied our high-performance GMX waterproofing membrane, protecting the foundation against future water intrusion. The soil was graded roughly to direct water away.

Finally, we installed a dual-stage sump pump system with Schedule 35 piping leading water safely out to daylight through a bubbler pot, providing reliable basement drainage.

The result? A fully stabilized foundation and a dry, secure basement, ready to stand strong for decades to come.

These homeowners were tired of living with a floor that was pitted, cracked, and downright unsafe. It wasn’t just an eyesore it was a daily hazard for them and anyone who walked through the space. They finally decided enough was enough and reached out to us to see what could be done.

After inspecting the area, we determined the best solution wasn’t demolition or replacement it was a premium epoxy overlay. This approach would eliminate the hazards, transform the look of the space, and keep the project cost‑effective.

To get the surface ready, we first ground the entire floor down to a perfectly smooth, even profile. Once the grinding was complete, we cleaned every bit of dust and debris to ensure a flawless bond.

From there, we applied our polyaspartic base layer the foundation of a durable, long‑lasting epoxy system. After polishing and correcting any tiny imperfections, we sealed the pinholes so the final finish would sit beautifully on top.

Then came the artistry: we mixed our colors and created a custom swirl pattern that brought depth, movement, and personality to the entire space.

The transformation was dramatic. The homeowners couldn’t be happier with how the floor turned out. What was once a dangerous, unattractive area is now a safe, stunning, fully usable space they’re proud to spend time in.

This home had bowed walls, as well a flooding problem. Bowed walls compromise the structural integrity of the home, in order to restore structural integrity to the home we installed our patented PowerBrace system. In order to fix the flooding problem occuring in the basement we installed our patented WaterGuard system to stop the water from coming up from the foundation and directing it to the sump pump.
