Before & After Photos

This homeowner contacted Basement Systems of New York because their home had a cinder block post-and-beam foundation with a dirt-floor crawlspace. Upon their yearly inspection of the space, they discovered a hole over ten inches in the cinder block above the frost line. Their main priority was to address the foundation issues that they were currently dealing with, as well they wanted to clean up and encapsulate their crawl space.

To take care of all the issues plaguing their crawl space, we first removed all the old fiberglass from the crawl space ceiling. Next, we started to dig our basin hole for our SuperSump plus sump pump system with a discharge line out to daylight, which we then tied into our SmartPipe waterproofing system. Once this was completed we started to excavate and remove their deteriorated support system, which we then replaced with ten SmartJack support systems. 

Finally, we sprayed 3" of closed-cell spray foam on their rim joists, installed our Basementaire dehumidification system, and encapsulated the entirety of their crawl space with our patented 20 mil CleanSpace encapsulation system with drain mat underneath it. By doing this we can keep any water from seeping into their crawl space, as well as use the path of least resistance to direct any water to our SmartPipe waterproofing system and directly out of their home through our patented SuperSump plus sump pump system. 

After installing our patented systems these homeowners noticed immediately that the structural integrity of their home vastly increased, as well that their home was much more comfortable thanks to all of the systems that we implemented in their crawl space. These homeowners could not have been any more pleased with how their project turned out. More importantly to them, than anything was that they had peace of mind restored back to them.

This crawlspace was full of nasty old fiberglass and creepy crawlies. Our crew braved the creepy crawlies and removed the fiberglass and installed our patented CleanSpace product. The trasnformation speaks for itself.

Our crew was tasked with transforming this home's crawlspace from the disgusting humidity, and moisture ridden crawlspace that you see to a beautiful functional space. We installed our Patented CleanSpace in order to get rid of and mitigate humidity, moisture, and dampnees from making its way through your concrete walls and into your basement.

This homeowner contacted us with significant structural issues in their crawl space, including a deteriorated and unsupported wall, inadequate reinforcement, and a deepened but unsecured crawl space. To address these concerns effectively, we implemented a comprehensive solution.Firstly, we installed a sturdy central beam in the crawl space, providing crucial support for the form work. This step ensured the stability and strength of the structure, laying the foundation for the subsequent repairs.

Next, we carefully poured concrete around the edges of the crawl space. This reinforced the perimeter, enhancing its overall stability and preventing future issues related to the weakened wall.

To further strengthen the home, we utilized our SmartJack system to support the existing girders properly. By strategically placing these supports, we ensured that the weight distribution was even and that the load was adequately carried by the foundation.

Finally, we encapsulated the crawl space using our innovative CleanSpace vapor barrier system. This advanced drain mat and vapor barrier combination created a protective barrier, effectively preventing the entry of water, moisture, humidity, and unpleasant odors. As a result, the homeowner's crawl space was now properly sealed and insulated, significantly improving the overall air quality and eliminating the risk of damage caused by excess moisture.

Upon completion of this project, the homeowner's concerns regarding the structural integrity of their home were fully addressed. Their crawl space was transformed into a secure and sound area, free from any risks of collapse. Furthermore, the encapsulation process ensured that their home remained well-protected against water-related issues, providing a healthier living environment.
