Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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 off 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.

After being in their home for eight years these homeowners started to notice that they were having issues with water in their home. This home is unique in that it is a dome shape, which means that their yard has no pitch to it, but because their roof is essentially a grassy dome their pitch is on top of their home. Because of how this home was built water was able to overtime penetrate the foundation and make its way inside their home.

In order to take care of the problem at a hand, we implemented our Dual Stage System along the front right-hand side of the bedroom wall, which we attached to an 8' Lateral under-slab drainage system along the floor cracks. To complement and complete these systems we finally tied them into our SuperSump and ran 50" of discharge line to make sure that the water that did come out of their home was pumped out as far away from their home as possible so their home could continue to be nice and dry. 

Since we installed our systems their home has been bone dry, and they could not be more thrilled to have peace of mind returned to them, but more importantly, they love being able to have their home back to its normal self. 

After many years of heavy rain, these homeowners said enough is enough and were sick and tired of dealing with water constantly penetrating their garage and home, but more importantly, they were worried about the water issue as they were feeling the after-effects inside their home. More specifically they noticed over the years that their floors were bouncy, doors would not stay open and would close on their own and that their floors felt uneven as they walked, which are all signs of foundation support issues. Because of these issues, they decided to contact Basement Systems of New York to see what could be done to take care of the problems at hand. 

For us to take care of all the issues that were going on in this home, we had to install several of our patented waterproofing and foundation support systems. These systems included us removing their old concrete floor to install two trench drains, one on the outside and inside of the garage, two SmartJack foundation supports with poured footings, four external stabil-loc foundation supports, a SuperSump Plus sump pump system, and finally to complete the project a new four-inch-thick slab.

Immediately after we waterproofed, lifted, and stabilized their home they could see a dramatic change in their home's structural integrity, as the problems at hand were no longer existent. As well after seeing their garage transformed these homeowners could not believe that this same garage just a week ago looked as if it was on its last legs. They could not be more ecstatic about how their project turned out, but more importantly that we were able to help bring peace of mind back to them.  

This job was unique because the footing was above the floor so we needed to install CleanSpace on the walls so the water from the weepholes would be forced into our waterproofing system. This job as well required a FlowGuard system to turn this once wet basement dry. Notice how their is no longer any water on the basement floor, and the walls also look nicer. 

These homeowners contacted Basement Systems Of New York to see how we could help rid their homes of water. Over the last twenty-two years, the homeowners never had a water issue, that is until hurricane Ida. Since Ida, they have constantly had water coming in through their concrete foundation. After trying to fix the problem themselves water continued to penetrate their home and they knew that they needed professional help.

Originally, they thought that water was coming in from their bedroom. Because of the issues, they described to our Specialist during their consultation, he could pinpoint where water was penetrating the home from. Specifically, the area where they were having an issue with water penetrating their home was in their garage. In turn, this was keeping their home wet.

To make sure that water cannot penetrate their home again, our team installed our patented WaterGuard waterproofing system along the right side of their garage, which we tied directly into our TripleSafe sump pump system. By installing these systems, we are able to capture any water that comes into their home and divert it to our out of and away from their home. By installing these systems, we are able to keep moisture, humidity, and dampness out of their home.

Since installing our system, these homeowners have noticed a dramatic increase in their comfort level due to the removal of excess dampness and moisture from their homes. These homeowners now have a home that is protected. More importantly, than anything, we have restored peace to these homeowners. They can now sleep peacefully at night without worrying about their home.
