Before & After Photos

These before and after pictures show the transformation of a space into something much better. This basement has our patented ThermalDry installed to allow water vapor to circulate underneath and dry out, while creating a thermal break that makes the floor's surface eight to ten degrees warmer than the concrete below.

This homeowner sought our help to transform their wet basement into a usable space. After inspection, we identified the need for a year-round dry basement and implemented a Dual Waterproofing system. Traditional systems were not suitable due to the home's monolithic foundation, which utilized the slab as a footing. If we installed a traditional waterproofing system we would be compromising the structural integrity of the home. Additionally, cracks in the slab caused hydrostatic pressure. To resolve this, we installed separate laterals on both sides of the basement. To enhance the space without finishing it, we applied our Foamax panels, which provide a finished appearance. Moreover, we addressed structural concerns by providing permanent support through the installation of Smartjacks. Additionally, the crawl spaces required attention, as the existing beams spanned too large an area, and sections of the footing were undermined. Our solution involved pouring slabs into each of the crawl spaces to rectify these issues. At Basement Systems Of New York, we're committed to creating functional and structurally sound spaces while addressing waterproofing and structural challenges.

After purchasing this beautiful new home in Cold Spring, Ny the new homeowner noticed that there were several problems that were extremely noticeable with the home's basement, as well as its foundation. They contacted Basement Systems of New York to see how they could rectify the situation at hand.

Because they are located right next to the river we could not warranty our complete drainage system against all rain, but only guarantee that their home would be waterproofed against average and mild storms. In order to guarantee this we had to install a multi-piece system that consisted of us digging down and installing footings in front of their compromised wall and laying a new block wall, a perimeter drainage system with a lateral on the interior wall, our SuperSump Plus sump pump, a new concrete floor, CleanSpace along their walls, and finally our SaniDry XP dehumidifier.

Since completing this project the homeowner has not seen any water in his home, as well feels a million times more secure with now having a properly supported home. As well they could not be more than ecstatic with the final product. 

The management team at the Olde Post Mall Apartment Complex contacted Basement Systems of New York to see what could be done to help improve the overall quality of their tenants lives in three of their apartment buildings. In order for us to remediate the temperature and musty smell issues that their tenants were dealing with we needed to install several of our patented systems to take care of the issues at hand.

In order to transform their crawl spaces we needed to blow 4-6" of gravel in all three crawl spaces and install our FlowGuard perimeter drainage system, which was then connected to our TripleSafe sump pumps. We then encapsulated the systems installed by pouring a new 4" concrete floor on top. After installing these systems we then sprayed spray foam insulation in both the floor and rim joists to seal the thermal barrier of the crawl spaces. Finally we installed two Basementaire dehumidifiers and Everlast doors.

Since we completed this project the tenants have noticed the musty smell that they were living with is now gone, as well the overall comfort level of their apartments have greatly improved. They could not be more thrilled to have a space now that they do not want to leave.

After waterproofing and pouring a new concrete slab in one of the building complexes at Olde Post Mall two years, ago they decided based on how well of a job we did, as well how well our system was, performing to have us take care of the crawl spaces of buildings number nine and four.

To deal with the presence of water, humidity and moisture in the crawl space we first had to clean out the spaces to start the installation process of our patented systems. We then started to prepare the perimeter of the ginormous crawl space for our WaterGuard waterproofing system. 

Once our WaterGuard had been laid properly and was level with the help of gravel we then moved on to installing seven of our SuperSump Plus sump pump systems, which all were tied directly into our perimeter system, we then drilled our weep hole throughout the entire perimeter of the crawl space. In doing this any water that would/could penetrate the crawl space would be collected and directed to our waterproofing system and out to daylight through our discharge lines. We then started to lay our drain mat with gravel before laying our new concrete slab. To finish this crawl space we installed two of our Basementaire dehumidification systems.

Based on how the previous system that we installed is working both the tenants and property management group can be assured that everyone will be comfortable and have peace of mind restored back to them. More importantly for the property management group, they know that have reduced their level of liability while adding value to their properties.
