Before & After Photos

These homeowners contacted Basement Systems of New York to see how we could remedy the water problem that they have been dealing with for several years. Because of how wet 2021, they continued receiving water in their basement in the obvious spots that they always saw. They also saw their basement take on water on their back wall, something that they had never seen till now. Once this new water problem emerged, they said enough is enough and decided to take care of the issue at hand. 

To take care of the water issue plaguing this basement, we started by creating a trench around the entire perimeter of their basement with two laterals along the front and back of the basement to mitigate hydrostatic pressure. Once everything was dug out we started to lay our perforated pipe and cover it with gravel through the entirety of our trench and laterals. This piping will eventually tie into our sump pump and direct any water caught by our system out of the home.

Next, we drilled our weep holes on the bottom of their block foundation. These weep holes allow us to redirect water that is entering their home to our waterproofing system. After drilling our weep holes throughout the perimeter of their foundation, we installed our DryTrak and FlowGuard waterproofing system before applying concrete to the trench we created and returning the basement to its former glory before we started their project.

Since completing this project, these homeowners have not seen any water in their basement, as well they were able to finish their basement. More importantly, than anything to the peace of mind had been restored to them.

This homeowner approached us with a distressing issue – their home was susceptible to water ingress during heavy rainstorms. After enduring multiple torrential downpours, they grew tired of the constant hassle and sought a lasting solution.

Recognizing the urgency, they engaged a handyman for emergency measures to prevent mold and other problems in the affected area. Upon meticulous assessment by our specialists, it was evident that an interior waterproofing system was essential. The objective was not only to maintain a consistently dry home but also to restore the homeowner's peace of mind.

Considering the specific foundation layout, our team concluded that implementing our advanced FlowGuard system was the optimal course of action. Focusing on the unfinished part of the basement where the slab wasn't flush with the footing, our approach involved a strategic installation of the FlowGuard system. To ensure effective water drainage and alignment, we incorporated a drainage mat along the wall's perimeter. Seamlessly integrating our system, we extended its functionality by connecting it to a gravity discharge line positioned at the basement's front.

This ingenious arrangement effectively diverts water away from the house, providing an added layer of protection. A meticulous finishing touch involved encasing our system with concrete and smoothing the grade of the gravity discharge line, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics. While initially skeptical about the project's disruptions during implementation, the homeowner's skepticism was replaced with profound satisfaction.

Our Installation Specialists showcased their expertise by executing the installation with minimal intrusion. The outcome not only fulfilled the homeowner's expectations but exceeded them. The once daunting process resulted in a seamless integration that practically vanished from sight.

This transformation not only resolved the homeowner's concerns but also freed them from the burdensome routine of basement cleanup after each rainfall. The newfound peace of mind and the elimination of stress associated with water intrusion reinforced their confidence in our services. This success story exemplifies our commitment to delivering effective, efficient, and professional solutions that safeguard homes and restore comfort to homeowners.

Our clients home was having an issue with their patio, specifically not sitting level against their foundation which caused an eyesore for them, as well a tripping hazard. We injected and raised their patio to sit level with the homes foundation with the help of PolyLevel. By doing so we were able to alleviate the eyesore from their home, as well the tripping issue they were having going in and out the door due to there being a difference in height. 

We were recommended to these homeowners by a contractor who identified a significant issue with their Monolithic foundation leading to water seepage. The seepage resulted in standing water during heavy rainstorms and spring melts, prompting the homeowners to address the problem before refinishing their basement.

The challenge was not only water penetration but also a bowing right wall due to the water-related pressure from the earth. Despite having received three other proposals, the homeowners chose us over a company that misunderstood the comprehensive scope of the necessary work. To tackle the water penetration, our first step involved creating a trench for a perforated pipe. Subsequently, we dug a basin for our SuperSump Plus, equipped with a 1/3 horsepower Zoeller pump. Grinding the walls allowed us to install CarbonArmor foundation reinforcement strips. We then set up piping in the trench, connecting it to the sump pump, reconcreted over it, and applied our DryTrak waterproofing system to the wall-floor joint.

The result? All the issues affecting their home have been successfully resolved. Thanks to our systems, the homeowners can now proceed with finishing their basement, providing them with both functional space and peace of mind.
