Before & After Photos

This home has needed some TLC since day one due to its poor compaction of the soil when it was backfilled and graded when it was first built. Because this home was originally built on the fill basement floor with radiant heat and bluestone it settled. The homeowner several years ago repaired the settlement issue by the stones and adding a larger mortar bed. This worked for a short time. Because of this reoccurring issue, they contacted Basement Systems of New York to see what could be done to take care of the issue at hand. 

For us to take care of the issue at hand we had to lift some of the stones and remove the prior incorrect repair to be able to see the original pour line. Once we were able to figure out where the original pour line was we then started to lift and level this home's floors back to their proper height with the help of PolyLevel.

These homeowners contacted Basement Systems Of New York to see how we could not only keep water out of their garage, which they used for storage but as well to rectify their concrete floor, which had sunken and cracked. Because of our expertise with concrete leveling and repair, they knew that we were the company to complete their project.

Because of the severity of their slab, our original approach of lifting, leveling, and stabilizing it did not make sense due to how foregone their slab was. Because of how damaged it was, we transitioned away from drilling our pilot holes to fill the voids below the slab with PolyLevel to ripping out and replacing their old slab, as well as installing our patented TrenchDrain.

To do so, we first had to jackhammer the entirety of the slab to break it up and then move it by hand from the garage to our dump truck. We then made sure that everything was level. Finally, we laid our gravel and installed rebar to give the slab rigidity and to ensure that it could support the weight of personal items. Once done, we created our trench in front of the garage to make way for our TrehchDrain. This system will stop any water from penetrating their garage. It'll do this by collecting it right before it enters and will discharge it away from their home. After completing these tasks, we moved on to pouring the concrete for our new slab and filled in the trench we had created. Finally, before cleaning up we applied our hand finish.

Overall these homeowners were ecstatic with how their project turned out. Not only because of the quality of workmanship but also because of the professionalism and trustworthiness of our team. If they had to do it all over again, they would rehire Basement Systems Of New York to complete their project.

This homeowner reached out after winter wreaked havoc on their garage floor. It wasn’t just the snow and ice, it was the salt tracked in by their car that caused the real damage. Over time, the surface became a cracked, worn down mess.

At first, they thought the only option was to rip out and replace the entire slab. But instead, we offered a solution that was not only more cost-effective, but also delivered the long-term results they wanted.

Our team ground down the old surface and applied a durable concrete overlay. The result? A brand-new look that completely transformed their garage saving them time, money, and frustration.

What made this project unique is that the homeowners wanted a floor with multiple shades of gray for depth and character. We didn’t just meet that request we exceeded their expectations. Now, their garage slab looks as good as it did the day they moved in, if not better.

They couldn’t be happier with the results.

This homeowner lives by a river and as a result, they continually got water in their basement, because of this reason they decided many years ago to leave the basement as it was. After many years of dealing with the headache of receiving two-plus feet of water in their basement every time after it would storm they said enough is enough and contacted Basement Systems of New York to see what their options were to take care of the issue at hand.

For us to take care of the water problem they were experiencing and bring peace of mind to them, we poured approximately 2' on average of 3/8ths gravel in their basement. Once this was completed we installed two of our patented SuperSump Plus systems with two separate discharge lines. Once both sump pumps were installed we laid down our drain matting, which will help divert any water that possibly would penetrate their home to their new sump pumps. Finally, we poured a new four-inch thick concrete slab over everything.

Due to performing this work their basement was transformed from a basement into a crawl space. Although they lost some head and storage space they gained a more comfortable usable area. Since we completed this project they have not seen any water and could not be more pleased with the decision they made to contact us and have the work performed.

These complex owners were referred to us by Creative Finishes and another past client of ours. They specifically contacted Basement Systems Of New York to see how we could help bring life back to the pool in their complex. Because of the soil conditions and the location, it began to sink slowly. Once the voids formed underneath the pool, they began, to lose several thousand gallons of water.

To fix the problems that they were experiencing,  we strategically drilled over fifty 5/8th pilot holes in the pool itself. Once we reached the proper depth, we began to slowly lift, level, and stabilize the pool with PolyLevel. Once done, we double-checked each hole to ensure that it was filled. Once this was confirmed, we began our clean-up and finishing process. 

After completing the pool, we turned our attention to the back left side of the pool deck. The back corner needed some serious help, as the slab had sunken significantly. The sunken slab created both a tripping hazard and a safety concern. More specifically, the safety concern was that the void under the slab would grow and would cause someone to hurt themselves worse than just incurring a few scrapes. Again we strategically drilled our pilot holes to the proper depth to fill the voids. Once we achieved the proper depth needed we began to lift, level, and stabilize the affected area. 

During the project, these owners were on-site to make sure that the project went smoothly, as well because of the processes and products we were using piqued their curiosity. As they watched our teamwork to bring life back both to the pool and deck they could not be more amazed at how interesting and how well the products worked. They could not be any happier with how phase one of their project turned out. They are looking forward to having us back to restore life to the rest of their pool deck at the end of May 2022.
