Over time our client's walkway started to deteriorate and shift due to the soil from being there for so long. Basement Systems of New York was called upon to return this walkway to its former glory, as well give their home more appeal. We were able to transform their walkway thanks to the help of PolyLevel.
This home has needed some TLC since day one due to its poor compaction of the soil when it was backfilled and graded when it was first built. Because this home was originally built on the fill basement floor with radiant heat and bluestone it settled. The homeowner several years ago repaired the settlement issue by the stones and adding a larger mortar bed. This worked for a short time. Because of this reoccurring issue, they contacted Basement Systems of New York to see what could be done to take care of the issue at hand.
For us to take care of the issue at hand we had to lift some of the stones and remove the prior incorrect repair to be able to see the original pour line. Once we were able to figure out where the original pour line was we then started to lift and level this home's floors back to their proper height with the help of PolyLevel.
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.
These complex owners were referred to us by Creative Finishes and another past client of ours. They specifically contacted Basement Systems Of New York to see how we could help bring life back to the pool in their complex. Because of the soil conditions and the location, it began to sink slowly. Once the voids formed underneath the pool, they began, to lose several thousand gallons of water.
To fix the problems that they were experiencing, we strategically drilled over fifty 5/8th pilot holes in the pool itself. Once we reached the proper depth, we began to slowly lift, level, and stabilize the pool with PolyLevel. Once done, we double-checked each hole to ensure that it was filled. Once this was confirmed, we began our clean-up and finishing process.
After completing the pool, we turned our attention to the back left side of the pool deck. The back corner needed some serious help, as the slab had sunken significantly. The sunken slab created both a tripping hazard and a safety concern. More specifically, the safety concern was that the void under the slab would grow and would cause someone to hurt themselves worse than just incurring a few scrapes. Again we strategically drilled our pilot holes to the proper depth to fill the voids. Once we achieved the proper depth needed we began to lift, level, and stabilize the affected area.
During the project, these owners were on-site to make sure that the project went smoothly, as well because of the processes and products we were using piqued their curiosity. As they watched our teamwork to bring life back both to the pool and deck they could not be more amazed at how interesting and how well the products worked. They could not be any happier with how phase one of their project turned out. They are looking forward to having us back to restore life to the rest of their pool deck at the end of May 2022.
