Before & After Photos

When this homeowner reached out to us, they were dealing with a host of troubling issues in their crawl space. Mold was spreading, humidity levels were soaring, and moisture seeped through the area. They noticed troubling signs of settlement, including warped floors and deteriorating girders and sill plates. The space was also plagued with mud and improper supports, making it a problematic environment.

We knew this was a serious situation, and our goal was to restore both safety and comfort to their home. To begin, we temporarily supported the house to ensure the safety of everyone while we worked on the repairs. Our first major step was to replace the old main girder with a new triple two-by-ten girder, reinforced by our advanced SmartJack and Stabil-Loc piering systems. This upgrade would provide the essential support needed to stabilize the home.

Next, we tackled the deteriorated sill plate by removing the old one and installing a new, sturdy replacement. We also addressed the rotten floor joists by sistering them—strengthening the joists that were still in good condition.

With the structural issues under control, we turned our attention to moisture management. We installed our patented sump pump to efficiently direct any water out of the crawl space. Then, we laid down a drain mat and our innovative CleanSpace vapor barrier across the entire floor. This not only helped in keeping the space clean but also prevented moisture from affecting the home above.

Finally, to combat any remaining humidity and moisture, we installed our Basementaire dehumidifier. This powerful unit ensures that the crawl space remains dry and comfortable.

Since completing the project, the homeowner's house is now structurally sound and has transformed into a much more pleasant environment. No longer plagued by moisture and mold, the space is a testament to the quality and effectiveness of our solutions.

We were contacted by the owner of the business to get a job taken care of in a very quick time frame, as they were doing an entire building remodel and wanted to be open by a certain time this year. In order for any of the other teams working on this project to be able to start their work, we had to install our waterproofing systems first. More importantly, the work we performed needed to be done quickly as the area is going to be used for a meat locker and any and all water or moisture needed to be removed before they could start using it for storage.

We ended up installing FlowGuard which runs around the perimeter to our sump pump, as well as CleanSpace in order to mitigate any water that would penetrate the building. By installing these systems we will be able to collect any water that makes its way in and divert it to the sump pump and ultimately out of the building

During the digging process our foreman noticed that a white slurry was coming into the building and for a while could not figure out what it was. Upon further researched he realized it was watered down paint that was coming in from the painters outside power washing the building to paint it. From this occurrence, we know that they will greatly benefit from the installation of FlowGuard, CleanSpace, and our sump pump system to keep their meat locker water-free. 

These homeowners contacted Basement Systems of New York to see what could be done about the issues they were having with excessive moisture throughout the entirety of their crawl space and home, an excessive amount of heat loss, and a small foundation issue. With all these problems coupled together, their home was inefficient as well as cold. 

In order for us to take care of the issues at hand for these homeowners, we installed several of our patented products, more specifically our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation material with drain matting, 3" of R-21 Closed-cell spray foam on the exterior of the crawl space walls and box beam, and finally two SmartJack foundation stabilizers across the main girder. 

Since completing this project these homeowners have noticed several things that have drastically changed such as the humidity level of their crawl space and home has dropped drastically, their HVAC system has not been having to work as hard as before and their home has been so much more comfortable, and that their home is now once again structurally sound with no more bouncing floors. 

We received a phone call from a concerned home owner looking to resolve an issue with what he called "A Nightmare Crawlspace". He expressed being concerned about the energy efficiency and unhealthy environment of his home. After a free evaluation our certified professionals replaced all his moldy fiberglass with spray foam insulation and sealed his crawlspace with our 25 year warrantied CleanSpace crawlspace liner.

The home owner is very pleased and now has a storage area instead of a nightmare.

The customer called us to resolve a water problem in their rock crawlspace.

We installed our Super Sump Pump and encapsulated their crawlspace as well. Now they are able to enjoy their dry crawlspace and live in a healthy home environment.
