Before & After Photos

This homeowner had just moved into their new house when they noticed something was visibly wrong with the crawl space. It appeared that an old waterproofing job had been done a long time ago, but it was no longer getting the job done. Moisture was very much an issue inside this area of the house. That’s why this homeowner in Rhinebeck, NY contacted The Basement Transformer to help them transform their crawlspace.

Our crew started by installing our drainage matting onto the floor before laying down the encapsulation barrier. This drainage matting gives water a way to move around underneath and evaporate on top of the mat if needed. It creates a permanent seal over top of the crawlspace floor, preventing water from coming inside.

The CleanSpace Encapsulation System was then installed on top of the drainage matting. It is a 20-mil reinforced polymer liner that helps to prevent mold growth, rotting wood, and pest infestations. Water intrusion is truly no match for this encapsulation system.  

To keep the air dry & safe, we also installed our amazing SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. It can remove dust mites and mold spores, all while keeping the humidity levels under control. It will even shut off to conserve energy once the desired level of humidity has been reached.

This crawlspace was safe and could withstand moisture with no problems once our crew had completed the job!

This homeowner located in Walden, NY contacted us because they were concerned about the wooden posts that were supporting crawl space. The home was built back in 1870 and needed our help to restore its structural integrity. Our specialist determined that our SmartJack System would be the solution to this homeowner’s problem and concerns. This system is designed to restore stability to the sagging floor joists inside a crawl space. Unlike wood, these support beams are made of galvanized steel so they will never rot, and they are also made to resist corrosion. Our SmartJack System is capable of supporting loads up to 60,000 pounds or more. They can even be adjusted at any time if your home requires it down the line. Once installed, this homeowner no longer had to worry about the stability of their crawl space. 

A homeowner located in New Paltz, NY had a cracked concrete block wall inside of his basement. There was a large horizontal crack running through the middle of the wall, as well as a vertical crack starting from the top. In order to fix this and prevent any more damage from occurring, our foreman Eduardo and his team installed two of our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System straps. These super flexible carbon fiber fabric straps are ten times stronger in tension than steel! We used an extremely strong epoxy resin to bond them to the interior face of the concrete block wall. Now that they are in place, this wall is stabilized and the homeowner does not have to worry about his wall falling apart.  

This homeowner in Cornwall, NY contacted us in search of a way to fix the cracking wall inside his basement. The walls inside this room had several stair-step cracks, a crack along the seam, and showed signs of water intrusion. It was clear this wall was comprised. Our crew sprang into action to fix this failing wall using our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System. It is up to ten times stronger in tension than steel and gets bonded to the interior face of the wall with super strong epoxy. Now that they are in place, this basement wall is now stabilized and isn’t going anywhere!

When this homeowner located in Cornwall, NY contacted us about a bowing wall inside their basement, we got them on the schedule for a free estimate with one of our foundation specialists. After taking a look at the wall, our specialist John proposed installing our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System to stabilize the wall and stop any more damage from occurring. This steel I-beam got secured to the floor joist above using a steel bracket that our foreman Eduardo installed. The best part is that this system can be adjusted to attempt to put the wall back in its original position. Once this was in place, the homeowner no longer had to stress about this wall bowing or cracking any further.
