Before & After Photos

This homeowner was referred to us by a previous client. Because of where they live, they never had an issue with water penetrating their home. That is until hurricane Ida. During Hurricane Ida, seven inches of water flooded their basement. Since then every time there is a significant amount of rain, water comes up from the floor. Because of the issue and our client's referral, they contacted Basement Systems Of New York to see how we could take care of the issue.

To take care of the issue, we started by creating the trench for our waterproofing system around the entire perimeter of the basement. We then began to fill it with our gravel and perforated pipe before covering everything with a layer of gravel and our trenchdrain. Once covered we applied our FlowGuard waterproofing system on top of everything and tied the system into our patented TripleSafe sump pump system.

Since installing our patented waterproofing system, they have not seen any water in their home. For them, this was the biggest concern because they were tired of getting up in the middle of the night to stay ahead of water coming into their home, as well as the annoyance of having water in their home. By cutting down the wall and supporting their home we could increase the overall space they had in their home. They could not be happier with how their project turned out, but more importantly than anything, they are grateful to have peace of mind restored.  

These homeowners contacted Basement Systems Of New York because they had water in their unfinished basement. Unfortunately, they did not know how or where the water was penetrating their home from, they only knew that they could no longer deal with water being in their home.

To fix the issue, we jackhammered around the perimeter of their basement and installed our patented Two-Stage Waterproofing system. As well, we jackhammered two laterals for their system. These laterals were installed, both diagonally and horizontally. By installing these laterals we can ensure that their system will function properly. When water enters their home, it will be caught by our system, directed to our SuperSump Plus sump pump system, and discharged from the home. This comprehensive system will keep their home dry forever.

These homeowners can now rest easy knowing that their home is protected from water penetrating it. Since waterproofing their walkout basement they have been able to regain valuable space that they can use to store their valuables, as well entertain. More importantly than anything they have peace of mind back.  

This homeowner had recently just purchased their new home. They decided to call Basement Systems Of New York because they were experiencing structural issues along the back wall of their home, a sagging main girder as well water penetrating their home.

To fix the structural issues on the back wall of their home, we installed PowerBraces. PowerBraces use the weight of the floor joists and the home to counter pressure the earth pushing in on the walls and restore structural integrity.

Then we removed their old screw jacks. Screw jacks are not up to building code. Screw jacks are not ideal because they are temporary, not permanent supports. To properly support this home and ensure that their main girder was not sagging, we replaced their old screw jacks with SmartJacks. Their home is now structurally reinforced, and their home is sound.

We then installed CleanSpace on the walls. This 20 mil thick vapor barrier will catch any water that enters the home. Once the water we catch the water it is directed to our WaterGuard New Slab system and directed out of the home via our sump pump.

Since completing their project they have noticed a tremendous difference in the overall health of their home. More importantly, than anything peace of mind was restored to them. Because of this, they are grateful that they decide to invest in their home and not let a smaller problem become a bigger one.  

Our team was able to remove the cement underneath the water heater and install a WaterGuard System. The WaterGuard system is Uniquely shaped similarly to a D. This helps releave pressure against the foundation which also helps prevent moinsture, and mold. The special design also has a wall flange that also has spaces inbetween the flanges to allow any water that comes from wall seepage. 

This is an example of a before and during picture. Our team had to jackahmmer around the entire floor and even underneath and around obstacles such as water heaters. After jackhammering our team removes the cement and dirt which lies underneath the floor. After removing all of that they then, add crushed blue stone to help direct the water that seeps in through the wall and floor causing dampness, moisture, and mold. After that they installed our patented WaterGuard system, which also collects water and directs the water to the Triple Safe Sump Pump. This is what removes the water from the house. Our team sets up two Sump pumps inside of the basin which is perferated to allow the flow of water into the basin. The Sump pumps then are connected to the plumping that we also install that led to outside. Once outside our team digs another trench and installs a dischage system to remove the water further away from the house.
