Basement Systems of New York Before & After Photos

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. 

These homeowners contacted Basement Systems Of New York because they had extensive water damage from the last few storms. When it would rain water would easily penetrate their egress window. During Hurricane Ida, water poured in through the window sill and puddled on the floor. Because of this issue, they knew it was time to call in the experts to take care of the issue and protect their newly renovated basement.

To take care of the issue we had to come up with a unique solution to fix the problem. First, we had to identify the problems. The reason why their window well had such an issue with water penetrating it was that the only protection it had when the home was built was four by fours stacked on top of each other. The issue with this is that there are a lot of seams that water can leak through. The second issue that we identified during our consult was that when the home was built in 2000 they did not install any drains.

To fix the issue at hand and to protect their basement we attacked the issue with a two-pronged approach. First, get rid of the old four-by-four window well and install our StackWell window well, this will stop any water from coming in through the window. Second, we needed to address that there were no drains installed. To fix this issue we installed two different types of drains. This system was composed of our patented interior perimeter WaterGuard waterproofing system, along with our TripleSafe Sump Pump system and a gravity discharge.

This system will guarantee that water will not penetrate the home again via hydrostatic pressure. If our gravity discharge ever becomes overwhelmed, plugged up, or fails our patented interior system will take over and keep water out of their home.

Basement Systems of New York was called to help this homeowners pool with a much needed face lift. The pool itself was beautiful, but its concrete deck needed some help as it was sinking several inches, which ultimately created a hazard and eye sore for both the owner and those that use the pool We were able to remidy the issue at hand with the help of PolyLevel. By drilling down into the concrete we were able to properly position PolyLevel to bring both the concrete deck and pool itself back to level with one another. 

After purchasing their new home these homeowners noticed several issues that were occurring in their basement. More specifically water coming in through the wall-floor joints, humidity on the wall, and a subtle crack along their left basement wall. Because of these issues, they contacted Basement Systems of New York to see what could be done to take care of the issues at hand. 

To address all the issues in their basement we installed several of our patented products. These products consisted of our WaterGuard waterproofing system around the perimeter of their basement, four CarbonArmor foundation stabilizing straps, five PowerBrace wall supports a TripleSafe sump pump system, and finally our SaniDry XP dehumidification system.

These five systems integrated into one will make sure that their basement stays dry, humidity stays out, but more importantly that their home does not fall over.
