Adirondack Basement Systems had to brace up the cellar wall which was being pushed in by water pressure, install a french drain along the wall and install sumps to get rid of any water that got it. They also installed a dehumidifier to keep the basement dry and mold free.
They are a busy company and took several weeks for their estimator/ engineer to get to us but when he did, he spent several hours measuring/ examining and explaining their procedures, products, and techniques. It was a couples months more before they could start the job but once started, they were fast, neat, and courteous. The wall power braces actually pushed the basement wall back a little. The drains along the wall were put in place after they jack hammered a trough for them, weep holes were drilled in the block to relieve any water build up, and the drain was cemented over- a really nice job. We got the triple safe sump pump system with triple redundancy pumps- two electric motors and a battery powered motor- to ensure the water is out of the sump. They also installed a large dehumidifier which also drains to the sump. We also had their electrician install the two power lines from the breaker box to the two pump motors. Adirondack Basement Systems did a really great job and given the work involved and equipment installed, at a very reasonable cost.
