Your Professional Walden, NY Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Specialists

A concerned homeowner reached out to us due to persistent water infiltration issues in their barn. The barn's floor was severely deteriorated, lacking proper slope for water drainage, and offering insufficient storage accessibility. To address these problems effectively, we embarked on a comprehensive restoration project. Here's how we tackled it:

1. Creating Proper Drainage: We began by excavating the areas in front of the barn doors to establish the required slope for efficient water management and better utilization of the space.

2.  

3. Forming the Foundation: After achieving the correct depth, we meticulously constructed 2x10 wooden forms to shape the concrete foundation. These forms served as the framework for our concrete work.

4.  

5. Enhancing Structural Integrity: Ensuring long-term stability and strength, we strategically placed both vertical and horizontal rebar, providing the necessary structural support for the concrete slabs.

6.  

7. Pouring New Slabs: With our preparations complete, we proceeded to pour two fresh concrete slabs—one outside the front barn doors and one outside the back barn doors. These slabs would be instrumental in resolving the water infiltration issue.

8.  

9. Barn-Wide Restoration: Our efforts extended to pouring a new concrete slab throughout the entire barn, revitalizing the entire space.

11. With this comprehensive project completed, the barn has been restored to its former glory. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but it is also now a fully functional space, free from the constant threat of water damage. The homeowners are delighted with their investment in restoring the barn's functionality and appearance.

This homeowner's home had many different areas that in his mind could have been causing his home to take on water in the basement. More specifically in his mind, it could have stemmed from their crawl space. After a throughout inspection by our specialist, it was prevalent to us that the water issues he was having were caused due to the basement, more specifically the way the home had settled and the pitch in the yard. We explained all of this to him and he agreed and understood why the issue he was having was occurring and why it was occurring in that area. 

To make sure that this issue was taken care of we install our WaterGuard Waterproofing system along the perimeter of his basement, which tied into our SuperSump pump liner with 20 feet of discharge line. The reasoning for this was if or when water would come into the home it would be directed to our WaterGuard system, which would travel it to the sump pump and out through the discharge line. Because we were able to explain to him why the water problem was occurring and fix it for him he was extremely grateful and is so ecstatic now that he does not have to worry about it anymore.
