Basement Systems of New York serving Dutchess, NY

This homeowner contacted Basement Systems of New York to see what could be done to help their raised ranch, specifically their  double car garage which had been taking on water from both melting snow and rain. In order to resolve the issue they were having we ended up installing our patented WaterGuard System, a sump pump and a trench drain. By installing these three systems that tied together we were able to bring back peace of mind to our clients, regardless if there is water from rain or melting snow.  

We all know that not everything lasts forever and it will need to eventually be replaced. In this case, this homeowner needed to replace their sump pump system after many years of great service from it. 

They opted to install a TripleSafe system due to the three systems working within one to make sure that their home would never be wet, as over the years they did have issues with their original pump failing on them several times. 

After the installation of their new sump pump, they are extremely confident and sure that they will be able to weather any storm, regardless of how big or small it is.  

All concrete can fail based on settlement, this can occur on any structure from your home to your garage. Just like you your basement, crawl space or any other area that you rely on to use for storage, your garage is susceptible to the same issues. Unfortunately, this homeowner was a victim of settlement in his garage, which ultimately did now allow him to park his vehicle in and even take things out of with ease. 

To change this for him and bring some sense of normalcy back to him we injected PolyLevel in the 1-6" voids that were spread throughout the left side of his garage.

Once the work had been completed he was able to regain what he had lost with not being able to use his garage to its full potential. 

The number one issue that we hear from our clients is that their home is too humid, whether it is summer or winter. Well, this homeowner contacted us to see how we could make their home more comfortable year-round for them as they had been dealing with the issue at hand for quite a while and were fed up with it. 

They ultimately ended up contacting us to see how we could take care of this issue for them in the quickest and most cost-effective way possible. Based on this criteria we proposed and installed a SaniDry XP with a condensate pump kit and upper duct kit.

By installing these three items we were able to relieve not only the affected area of humidity but the entire home as we were able to tie the whole system into their HVAC system. They now have a home that is comfortable 24/7/365.

This homeowner had a major moisture problem on her basement walls, as well with water seeping in from where her home met the patio. After a thorough inspection by our specialist, he was able to propose a solution that would stop water from coming in and that would keep moisture off of her basement walls. 

We ended up installing CleanSpace on the walls, which ran over her rock walls and tied into our FlowGuard system that ran along the perimeter of her basement. We as well parged around the front of the patio, while sealing the cracks that were under her top slab and steps, which had been caused by hydrostatic pressure. Finally to rid any water that penetrated the home due to where their house was we installed a discharge line that was approximately 45 feet from the home to ensure that their yard stayed intact and we could properly dispose of the water. 

Since then they have been more than thrilled that they were able to get their lives back on track and that they could use an area of their home that they had to consistently worry about as it was intended to be used for. 

After living in their new home for six months, these new homeowners realized that there were a few serious issues with their home. More specifically these issues pertained to the structural integrity of their home, as well as water penetrating their home. Because of these issues, they decided to contact Basement Systems of New York to see how we could remediate the issues at hand. 

By installing our patented systems we will be able to resolve both the direct and indirect effects of the water issues they are dealing with. More importantly, we will be able to restore both structural integrity back to this home and instill peace of mind for the homeowners. 

We started by jackhammering their entire concrete slab and removing it. After removing the old concrete slab, we dug down several inches to establish our area for our pre-cast footings. Once all our footing were at the proper depth we laid our pre-cast footings and installed our SmartJack foundation support systems. 

Once we installed our SmartJack systems, we moved on to cutting both our drain mat and CleanSpace to the proper dimensions before applying them to the basement walls. After completing the installation of our drain mat and CleanSpace. We then applied our PowerBraces with top lever brackets to the walls.

After applying our PowerBraces with top lever brackets we installed our WaterGuard waterproofing system around the perimeter of the basement, which we tied into our TripleSafe sump pump system with an external discharge line. Finally, we completed this project by pouring a new concrete slab.  

Since completing this project, the homeowners have noticed a tremendous difference in the structural integrity of their homes. As well they now have a functional and usable space that is not affecting the comfort levels of their home due to water. They could not have been any happier with how their project came out.
