Basement Systems of New York

This homeowner contacted us due to water issues in their basement and structural problems in both the basement and crawl space. To address these concerns, we implemented a comprehensive solution: Water Intrusion: We tackled water intrusion caused by hydrostatic pressure by installing our FlowGuard waterproofing system along the basement's perimeter. This system was seamlessly connected to our lateral system, reducing the water's path to our SuperSump equipped with laterals.   Crawl Space Division: To prevent mud, sand, dirt, and debris from interfering with the waterproofing system, we injected our PolyLevel product behind the wall separating the crawl space and basement. This critical step ensured the proper functioning of the waterproofing system.   Structural Restoration: To rectify structural issues, we temporarily supported the house and replaced improperly installed screw jacks. We installed a new main girder and strengthened the deteriorating floor joists. The installation of our SmartJack system further enhanced the home's structural integrity, as it was positioned with precise spacing.   Crawl Space Enhancement: As a final touch, we enhanced the crawl space by applying a drain mat and CleanSpace. Despite the already dry nature of the crawl space with no water issues, this encapsulation system ensures dust-free and properly conditioned crawl space and subsequently improved air quality throughout the home. The homeowners expressed their utmost satisfaction with the project's results. They are particularly relieved that their peace of mind has been restored and are pleased with their decision to invest in the long-term well-being of their home

The Turtle Hatch, is perfect for creating a secure access into your crawl space. It is efficient, aesthetically pleasing, and most of all safer. This system was installed in Eldred, New York.

These homeowners just purchased this second home several months ago. After living in their new home for a short period they realized that they had a water and humidity issue. More specifically, water was coming in at the wall-floor joints and a couple of cracks on the floor as well. Because of the water intrusion, they decided to contact Basement Systems of New York to see how we could help their home. This project in itself was unique because of the fact that their home has a step footing versus a traditional footing.    To take care of the water issue at hand we dug around the perimeter of their basement, as well through the center of it to create our trench as well as laterals. Once done we installed our FlowGuard waterproofing system and tied it into our TripleSafe sump pump. Before applying concrete on top of our system, we applied both the drain mat and CleanSpace to the walls. Finally, before turning the basement back over to the homeowners, we installed our SaniDry XP dehumidification system to keep the areas free of any excess moisture or humidity.   Since installing our patented products their basement has been dry, as well the environment both downstairs and upstairs has completely changed for the better. They now have a fully functional home that they do not have to worry about every single night when they go to bed. 

These homeowners called Basement Systems of New York to evaluate their block foundation to see why they were continually taking on water in their basement even though they supposedly had a french drain installed. Upon our Specialist finishing his inspection he noted that the reason why they were having issues with water penetrating their home was twofold. Specifically that they were experiencing hydrostatic pressure coming up through the floor of their basement, as well as the french drain that had been installed by a previous company was not installed properly and was not doing it job. To take care of the issues at hand we started by removing the perimeter of their concrete slab to make way for our WaterGuard below slab waterproofing system with laterals with our SuperSump Plus sump pump system. After completing this we then moved on to installing four of our SmartJack support systems with new footings to properly support their sinking home. We then proceeded to apply drain mat to the floor and our CleanSpace vapor barrier to their walls before pouring our new slab. Finally to finish their basement off once our concrete fully dried we installed our Basementaire dehumidification system. From start to finish these homeowners could not believe the quality of workmanship as well the level of professionalism they received throughout their project. Since installing our waterproofing system they have not experienced any water in their home, a reduction in health issues, but more importantly than anything to them peace of mind.
