Before & After Photos

Upon purchasing this commercial property, the new owner was faced with a major issue - water penetrating the building. The culprit? The pitch of the land the building was constructed on, which sloped towards the structure, compounded by the fact that it was built near a swamp. Despite having three sump pumps in place, they proved insufficient to handle the amount of water infiltration, resulting in frequent basement flooding.

To resolve the water infiltration issue, we began by removing the old baseboards and step footings to create a trench around the basement perimeter. Using jackhammers, we prepared the trench for our waterproofing system and cleared away any debris. Our solution included installing the SuperSump Plus sump pump system, with gravel and perforated pipe running through the trench and connected to the sump pump. We also installed drain mat where the curb used to be, ensuring that any water would be directed into our waterproofing system. In addition to these systems, we utilized our patented FlowGuard system along the perimeter of the basement. Finally, we applied concrete over the entire system to give it a seamless appearance. To complete the project, we installed the Basementaire dehumidifier and connected the condensate pump to the sump basin, creating a set-and-forget system. Our team left the property clean and free of debris.

Thanks to our project, the owner was able to open their business and utilize the basement for storage without worry of water infiltration. They can now have peace of mind knowing that their building is protected from water damage.

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. 

Due to poor soil conditons and erosion the concrete started to sink. This created a tripping hazard and an eyesore for the owner. To remedy this our team Injected PolyLevel foam under the slab to compact the soil, fill in voids and lift and level the concrete.

A property management company reached out to us after being impressed by our previous work and online presence. They faced a serious issue: water was seeping into their parking garage, making its way into the mechanical room and through the cold joint on the front wall. The constant moisture was a growing concern, not only due to potential health risks for tenants from humidity but also the possibility of escalating structural damage.

To resolve this issue, we quickly got to work. Our team jackhammered around the front wall of the mechanical room and along its perimeter. Next, we installed gravel and perforated piping, all tied into our reliable TripleSafe sump pump. We then placed our WaterGuard waterproofing system along the exterior wall and inside the mechanical room. To further manage any incoming water, we applied a drain mat on the bottom and top of the walls, ensuring that any water would flow directly into our waterproofing system and then into the sump pump.

Before sealing everything up, we installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier over the entire system. This final step was crucial in preventing moisture, mold, and water intrusion.

Since the completion of this project, the tenants of the complex can rest easy, knowing their safety and health are prioritized, thanks to our swift and effective solution.

These homeowners contacted Basement Systems Of New York because they had extensive water damage from the last few storms. When it would rain water would easily penetrate their egress window. During Hurricane Ida, water poured in through the window sill and puddled on the floor. Because of this issue, they knew it was time to call in the experts to take care of the issue and protect their newly renovated basement.

To take care of the issue we had to come up with a unique solution to fix the problem. First, we had to identify the problems. The reason why their window well had such an issue with water penetrating it was that the only protection it had when the home was built was four by fours stacked on top of each other. The issue with this is that there are a lot of seams that water can leak through. The second issue that we identified during our consult was that when the home was built in 2000 they did not install any drains.

To fix the issue at hand and to protect their basement we attacked the issue with a two-pronged approach. First, get rid of the old four-by-four window well and install our StackWell window well, this will stop any water from coming in through the window. Second, we needed to address that there were no drains installed. To fix this issue we installed two different types of drains. This system was composed of our patented interior perimeter WaterGuard waterproofing system, along with our TripleSafe Sump Pump system and a gravity discharge.

This system will guarantee that water will not penetrate the home again via hydrostatic pressure. If our gravity discharge ever becomes overwhelmed, plugged up, or fails our patented interior system will take over and keep water out of their home.
