Before & After Photos

This homeowner contacted Basement Systems of New York because he was having a major water problem in his basement, more specifically water was coming up through the center of their slab via hydrostatic pressure and it would pool, as well along the entirety of their basement they had an issue with water coming in at the wall-floor joints. The homeowner was concerned about this for the obvious reasons, but also because they use their basement for both entertaining and storage.

In order to remediate the problem at hand, we installed 144 feet of our patented sub-slab waterproofing system, FlowGuard which we then connected to a 50 foot lateral that ran through the center of their slab. We then installed CleanSpace along the entirety of their basement walls, which was tied into our TripleSafe sump pump system. Finally, we installed our Basementaire dehumidifier to both rid and protect their basement and home from any water vapor that would/could occur due to humidity. 

On our last day of installation, we were slated for a huge snowstorm and the homeowner was jonesing for the storm to come so he could test his new system after the snow melted. It has now been a week since the storm and the installation and the snow is melting quite quickly in his neighborhood, but not an ounce of water has penetrated his home, where before water would have been gushing in.  

After moving up from Brooklyn four years ago these homeowners thought all was well with their home, but after two major storms, they quickly realized that their home was vulnerable to water, both when it rained and snowed. Because of the headaches that they endured both during and after these two events, they said enough is enough and gave Basement Systems of New York a call to see how we could keep their home dry. 

To take care of the water issues that they were dealing with we had to install several of our patented systems. We started by digging our trench around the perimeter of their basement. We as well installed two laterals on each side of their basement. These trenches would eventually be filled with gravel and perforated pipe. This piping system is the base for our patented waterproofing system, FlowGuard, which will be installed on the perimeter of the basement walls and will divert all water to our piping and then our sump pump.

Once our trench and laterals were created and filled we proceeded to apply our vapor barrier, CleanSpace to the entirety of their basement walls. By applying a vapor barrier to their basement walls, we were able to change the overall environment of their home. 

After installing our vapor barrier, we dug for our discharge lines outside their home. Once established, we installed our TripleSafe sump pump with a battery backup. 

Finally, we installed our BasementAire dehumidification system and attached our condensate pump to drain into our TripleSafe sump pump. This created a system that these homeowners could truly set and forget. 

Since installing these systems these homeowners have not seen an ounce of water in their homes whether it be from rain or snow. They could not be any happier with how their project turned out, but more importantly that they do not have to worry about cleaning up their basement ever again as well as having peace of mind restored to them.

These homeowners purchased this home in November 2022. After purchasing, they decided to do a bunch of renovations. After living in their home for a while, they realized that they had an issue with water coming into their home. It was coming through their crawl space. When it rained, water would overflow and their crawl space and basement flooded. 

 Because of the issues at hand, they decided to call an experts and find out exactly what was going on in their home and how to fix the issue at hand.  

Upon our Specialist inspections, he realized that to take care of the problems, we needed to attack this with a three-part system. This system is comprised of our FlowGuard waterproofing system, two separate SuperSump Plus sump pumps, and our SmarJack system for their floors and foundation. 

To install the systems, we first created a trench around the perimeter of the crawl space. We then proceeded to clean it out. Once it was clean, we installed gravel and perforated piping, which we connected directly to our sump pumps. After this we applied our FlowGuard system against the walls of the crawl space. Once done, we started digging out strategic spots in their crawl space for our team to pour poured footings before installing our SmartJack systems. Finally, before leaving, we installed our Basementaire dehumidification system. 

Since completing their project, these homeowners have not had to worry about cleaning up water from their two spaces after a rain storm. As well they have not noticed any nasty smells upstairs anymore. Finally, their floors are as back to level as possible. They could not be any happier with how their project turned out. They are so glad that they decided to invest in their home. 

Many homeowners are concerend about the discharge line messing up the aesthetics of their yard. This homeowner was no different, however our crew did a masterful job installing the discharge line leaving the yard without making a mess in the yard.

After being in their home for eight years these homeowners started to notice that they were having issues with water in their home. This home is unique in that it is a dome shape, which means that their yard has no pitch to it, but because their roof is essentially a grassy dome their pitch is on top of their home. Because of how this home was built water was able to overtime penetrate the foundation and make its way inside their home.

In order to take care of the problem at a hand, we implemented our Dual Stage System along the front right-hand side of the bedroom wall, which we attached to an 8' Lateral under-slab drainage system along the floor cracks. To complement and complete these systems we finally tied them into our SuperSump and ran 50" of discharge line to make sure that the water that did come out of their home was pumped out as far away from their home as possible so their home could continue to be nice and dry. 

Since we installed our systems their home has been bone dry, and they could not be more thrilled to have peace of mind returned to them, but more importantly, they love being able to have their home back to its normal self.
