Before & After Photos

Basement Systems of New York is proud to be apart of the Downtown Revitalization Initiative, Rail Trail Commons in downtown Middletown, NY. We were contracted to work on this project due to our patented products, as well our quality of work. More importantly we were chosen to do the work because the town of Middletown knows that our proudcts will keep them dry. Our installation crew installed our patented FlowGuard and CleanSpace systems, in addition they ran perferated piping from the sump pump to the storm drain to rid the building of any and all water collection. 

These homeowners were transforming their old unused space into a living area for a family member that has severe health issues. They are transforming it to give their family member the ability to regain some control over their life, as well as independence. More importantly, they were transforming the space so that they did not have to worry about their family member. 

In order for the space to be converted into a livable area, we had to pour a new slab with rebar reinforcements, as well as implement our Smartjacks system in order to stop water from coming up through the floor due to hydrostatic pressure, as well to make the building structurally sound. 

Because these systems were implemented and they have been able to move their family member into the new space the entire home, as well the members in it have been able to have a sigh of relief. 

This homeowner noticed that he was having issues with his foundation being extremely wet, as well as water coming through at the corners of his basement walls, because of these two issues he contacted Basement Systems of New York to see what could be done to help take care of his water issue. 

In order to take care of the issues at hand for this homeowner we excavate along the back and right side of their home in order to get to their current footing drains, we then installed a new footing drain system with triple wall 4" perforated pipe. We then sprayed their foundation with our GMX waterproofing coating with drain board and finally rough backfilled the trench that we had created in order to install their new footing drain system. 

Since installing our systems on the back and right side of their home they have noticed that their home is so much more comfortable, as well as a dry foundation which has allowed their foundation to remain structurally sound. 

These homeowners contacted Basement Systems Of New York to see how we could help their home, which was built in 1956. Because of where they are located, the pitch of their land, and all the rain that we have seen this year, their basement has been taking on water through cracks in their poured concrete foundation, as well as the wall-floor joint. 

To fix the problems in their home we installed three of our patented waterproofing products. We started by creating our trench around the perimeter of their basement before installing any of our products. After digging our trench we laid perforated pipe with gravel. We then proceeded to encapsulate the walls of the basement with CleanSpace. In doing so, we can ensure that no moisture or water will penetrate the basement again. Finally, we installed our WaterGuard waterproofing system and connected it to our TripleSafe sump pump before applying concrete.

Two days after installing their system, they were able to test their new system thanks to a major rainstorm that moved in. Throughout the storm, it was made clear to them that their home was bone dry and there was not any excess moisture or humidity. Because of how well their system performed, they could not be any happier with making the decision to invest in their home and improve their overall comfort level.

Just as we are always improving the lives of our clients and bringing peace of mind to them we are always improving our shop. Our team needed a dedicated area to keep materials, supplies, and miscellaneous tools/vehicles. Because of this need, we decided the best thing to do was to pour a new concrete slab that would be dedicated to these items. We now have one area where all our items can be stored, instead of them being stored in multiple locations throughout the shop.
