Basement Systems of New York Before & After Photos

Due to poor soil conditons and erosion the concrete started to sink. This created a tripping hazard and an eyesore for the owner. To remedy this our team Injected PolyLevel foam under the slab to compact the soil, fill in voids and lift and level the concrete.

This homeowner contacted Basement Systems of New York to see what could be done to help rid his front porch of the eyesore and tripping hazard between his steps and the landing to his front door.

Upon our inspection of his porch, we were able to determine that to fix his porch we would need to install PolyLevel underneath the structure to fill the voids that had been created and allowed this beautiful piece of concrete to become as uneven as it did.

After drilling our 5/8th pilot holes and installing PolyLevel within the voids that had been created we were able to bring the landing on his porch and stairs back to level, ultimately this allowed for his porch to become level again, more importantly, it allowed for this homeowner to not worry about hazards around his home anymore and bring back a sense of pride to his entryway. 

This homeowner contacted us to address a common issue – a sunken and settled patio due to years of soil erosion. The problem affected both the front and back portions of the patio.

To tackle this challenge, we employed our advanced solution. First, we drilled precise 5/8th pilot holes in the front section of the patio. Then, we injected our commercial-grade spray foam PolyLevel, raising the patio to an even and safe level.

Moving to the backside, we repeated the process, using PolyLevel to raise the sunken areas, focusing on making it as even as possible. This not only resolved tripping hazards but also transformed the patio's appearance, as the backside had experienced more significant deterioration.

Once both the front and back were properly raised to their ideal levels, we applied our NexusPro caulking system. This step ensured a seamless and polished finish to the repaired areas.

The homeowner couldn't be happier with the results. Not only are the tripping hazards a thing of the past, but the once-unsightly patio has been beautifully restored. We take pride in delivering solutions that enhance both safety and aesthetics for our valued customers.

A property management company reached out to us after being impressed by our previous work and online presence. They faced a serious issue: water was seeping into their parking garage, making its way into the mechanical room and through the cold joint on the front wall. The constant moisture was a growing concern, not only due to potential health risks for tenants from humidity but also the possibility of escalating structural damage.

To resolve this issue, we quickly got to work. Our team jackhammered around the front wall of the mechanical room and along its perimeter. Next, we installed gravel and perforated piping, all tied into our reliable TripleSafe sump pump. We then placed our WaterGuard waterproofing system along the exterior wall and inside the mechanical room. To further manage any incoming water, we applied a drain mat on the bottom and top of the walls, ensuring that any water would flow directly into our waterproofing system and then into the sump pump.

Before sealing everything up, we installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier over the entire system. This final step was crucial in preventing moisture, mold, and water intrusion.

Since the completion of this project, the tenants of the complex can rest easy, knowing their safety and health are prioritized, thanks to our swift and effective solution.

Basement Systems of New York was contacted by this homeowner to have us bring her steps and porch back to level and true. As you can see below her front steps and porch are unlevel, and leaning. These two issues were both an eyesore and a tremendous hazard to the homeowner and all that stepped foot on them. 

To correct the problems at hand we had to strategically drill our 5/8th pilot holes throughout the steps and porch, we then implemented our PolyLevel system to make sure that we filled the voids properly to bring the stairs as level as we could to their concrete and to fill the voids that created the separation and leaning that was occurring. We then installed a small amount of concrete to offset for the remainder of leveling that needed to occur to make their stairs and concrete level, the little bit of truing that needed to occur could not be accomplished with more PolyLevel as the amount that needed to be finished was due to how the stairs were leaning.

By using these two methods of leveling we were able to bring the homeowners' porch and stairs back to level and true with their house and front yard. This ultimately has allowed them the ability to remove the humendous eyesore and hazard from their home and has allowed them to regain peace of mind about friends, family and other setting foot on their property.
