Installing A New Concrete Slab With A WaterGuard Waterproofing System - New Windsor, NY

These homeowners contacted Basement Systems Of New York because they were experiencing water seepage through multiple locations in their basement. More specifically water was coming in through the walls, the wall-floor joints, and through the center of their floor via hydrostatic pressure. The reason why water was coming into their basement was that there was an old plank-poured foundation and at some point, the builders ended up stopping it and building a block wall on top of it. By forming the walls this way so many years ago a failure point had been created. 

 

To fix the problem at hand and to make sure that this basement stays dry forever we installed a multi-step system comprised of several of our patented products. We first started by digging our trench around the perimeter of the basement, as well as two laterals through the center of the floor. These trenches would eventually be where our perforated piping, gravel, and sump pump for our system will live. Once done we turned our attention to installing our WaterGuard waterproofing system around the basement perimeter at the wall-floor joints. After installing our WaterGuard we applied CleanSpace to their basement walls in order to catch any water that may come into the home and direct it to our waterproofing system. Finally, before pouring our new concrete slab, we applied drain matting to their old slab, in doing so we are able to make sure that any water that comes up via hydrostatic pressure will have a path of least resistance and will be directed to our laterals. We then finished this project by pouring a brand new concrete slab over our system. 

 

Since installing our system in the basement of this home they have not seen any water in their home. These homeowners could not have been any happier with how their project turned out. More importantly than anything to these homeowners is knowing that peace of mind has been restored to them.
