Basement Systems of New York Before & After Photos

These homeowners contacted Basement Systems of New York to see how we could remedy the water problem that they have been dealing with for several years. Because of how wet 2021, they continued receiving water in their basement in the obvious spots that they always saw. They also saw their basement take on water on their back wall, something that they had never seen till now. Once this new water problem emerged, they said enough is enough and decided to take care of the issue at hand. 

To take care of the water issue plaguing this basement, we started by creating a trench around the entire perimeter of their basement with two laterals along the front and back of the basement to mitigate hydrostatic pressure. Once everything was dug out we started to lay our perforated pipe and cover it with gravel through the entirety of our trench and laterals. This piping will eventually tie into our sump pump and direct any water caught by our system out of the home.

Next, we drilled our weep holes on the bottom of their block foundation. These weep holes allow us to redirect water that is entering their home to our waterproofing system. After drilling our weep holes throughout the perimeter of their foundation, we installed our DryTrak and FlowGuard waterproofing system before applying concrete to the trench we created and returning the basement to its former glory before we started their project.

Since completing this project, these homeowners have not seen any water in their basement, as well they were able to finish their basement. More importantly, than anything to the peace of mind had been restored to them.

These homeowners contacted Basement Systems of New York to see what could be done about the issues they were having with excessive moisture throughout the entirety of their crawl space and home, an excessive amount of heat loss, and a small foundation issue. With all these problems coupled together, their home was inefficient as well as cold. 

In order for us to take care of the issues at hand for these homeowners, we installed several of our patented products, more specifically our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation material with drain matting, 3" of R-21 Closed-cell spray foam on the exterior of the crawl space walls and box beam, and finally two SmartJack foundation stabilizers across the main girder. 

Since completing this project these homeowners have noticed several things that have drastically changed such as the humidity level of their crawl space and home has dropped drastically, their HVAC system has not been having to work as hard as before and their home has been so much more comfortable, and that their home is now once again structurally sound with no more bouncing floors. 

This homeowner approached us with a distressing issue – their home was susceptible to water ingress during heavy rainstorms. After enduring multiple torrential downpours, they grew tired of the constant hassle and sought a lasting solution.

Recognizing the urgency, they engaged a handyman for emergency measures to prevent mold and other problems in the affected area. Upon meticulous assessment by our specialists, it was evident that an interior waterproofing system was essential. The objective was not only to maintain a consistently dry home but also to restore the homeowner's peace of mind.

Considering the specific foundation layout, our team concluded that implementing our advanced FlowGuard system was the optimal course of action. Focusing on the unfinished part of the basement where the slab wasn't flush with the footing, our approach involved a strategic installation of the FlowGuard system. To ensure effective water drainage and alignment, we incorporated a drainage mat along the wall's perimeter. Seamlessly integrating our system, we extended its functionality by connecting it to a gravity discharge line positioned at the basement's front.

This ingenious arrangement effectively diverts water away from the house, providing an added layer of protection. A meticulous finishing touch involved encasing our system with concrete and smoothing the grade of the gravity discharge line, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics. While initially skeptical about the project's disruptions during implementation, the homeowner's skepticism was replaced with profound satisfaction.

Our Installation Specialists showcased their expertise by executing the installation with minimal intrusion. The outcome not only fulfilled the homeowner's expectations but exceeded them. The once daunting process resulted in a seamless integration that practically vanished from sight.

This transformation not only resolved the homeowner's concerns but also freed them from the burdensome routine of basement cleanup after each rainfall. The newfound peace of mind and the elimination of stress associated with water intrusion reinforced their confidence in our services. This success story exemplifies our commitment to delivering effective, efficient, and professional solutions that safeguard homes and restore comfort to homeowners.

Our clients home was having an issue with their patio, specifically not sitting level against their foundation which caused an eyesore for them, as well a tripping hazard. We injected and raised their patio to sit level with the homes foundation with the help of PolyLevel. By doing so we were able to alleviate the eyesore from their home, as well the tripping issue they were having going in and out the door due to there being a difference in height. 

The Hudson valley United Reform Church reached out to us to see what could be done to take care of the issues around the church to keep their parishioners safe. Because we at Basement Systems of New York are about helping those in need we donated our time and materials to help out this church.

The issues that they called us out to review were that the side door was lifted 6" and the sidewalk was lifted almost 8" to the top of the retaining walls. These issues were created due to loose soil conditions, as well as drainage issues. For us to fix the problem, we filled the depth of void in the areas that had sunken with PolyLevel. In doing so we were able to lift and level the concrete in a short time.

In performing this project we were able to remove the tripping hazards that plagued the church, which ultimately brought peace of mind to both the church as well as its parishioners.
