Before & After Photos

Initially, this homeowner sought assistance from a different contractor to address their sinking home issues. However, the first company, upon starting the project, realized the complexities involved and abandoned the project, leaving the homeowner in a difficult situation. Understandably, the homeowner was hesitant to trust another contractor, having already faced disappointment.

After two years of patiently building trust and rapport with the client, they finally felt confident in our ability to complete the project. During this time, we provided consistent support, answering their questions, and alleviating their concerns.

Our process began by excavating the right side of the home's foundation. This involved digging down eighteen feet to reach the footing, creating space under it. We then utilized hydraulic rams to drive our Stabil-Loc push piers into bedrock or the appropriate strata. Once in place, we applied pressure upwards. This not only halted the home's sinking but also restored it to its original height, preventing future movement.

Moving to the front of the home, we had to first temporarily support the structure before removing the front porch and wall. Once safely supported, we excavated to the required depth. Here, we used pre-construction Stabil-Loc push piers to prevent the foundation from sinking, even without the weight of the structure. Afterward, we poured a new footing and wall, rebuilt the porch, and gently lowered the home.

With the exterior repairs complete, we turned our attention to reinforcing the interior foundation wall. CarbonArmor reinforcements were applied to prevent inward bowing as the exterior soil settled. To address the uneven floors caused by the sinking, we utilized our PolyLevel leveling system, ensuring a smooth, even surface.

To complete the project, we also renewed the sidewalk and graded the yard. Throughout the two-year journey and the project itself, the homeowner had numerous questions and concerns. However, upon project completion, they expressed their satisfaction and relief, knowing that their home was now secure and stable. Our work not only restored their peace of mind but also their confidence in their home's stability.

We were recently approached by a homeowner who faced an unfortunate incident involving their 60-year-old block foundation wall. During the late winter months of 2022, a car veered off the road, colliding with the wall. Fortunately, no severe injuries occurred, but the impact resulted in a significant deflection of approximately four inches. Recognizing the urgency and importance of restoring stability to their home, the homeowner sought our expertise. In this article, we will discuss the steps we took to repair and reinforce the damaged block foundation wall, ensuring the safety and longevity of the structure.

When confronted with a severely deflected foundation wall, our team faced unique challenges due to the extent of the damage, rendering our patented products unsuitable. As a result, we undertook the task of completely replacing the wall. This article details our meticulous approach, starting with ensuring the safety of the occupants, followed by excavation, demolition, and construction of a new foundation wall. We also highlight the importance of installing footing drains and applying a waterproofing membrane to enhance the structure's longevity and resilience.

After successfully completing the project to rebuild their compromised foundation wall, the homeowners now enjoy a renewed sense of security. No longer plagued by worries of an impending collapse, they are thrilled with the outcome of the project. In this article, we highlight the satisfaction and peace of mind experienced by homeowners, who can now fully trust in the stability and longevity of their home.

When this homeowner noticed signs of foundation trouble, they turned to us for help after thorough online research. Our consultation with a Design Specialist revealed a significant deflection in their wall, typically requiring extensive rebuilding. Fortunately, our company offers an innovative solution—the Everbrace Wall System—avoiding the need for wall replacement.

We began by installing necessary blocking in the floor joists for our top bracket. Next, we carefully cut concrete to create footings for our PowerBrace systems, applying CleanSpace as a vapor barrier. Sheet metal was then hung to relieve weight from the foundation wall. PowerBraces were installed, and footings were filled with concrete. Finally, we injected PolyLevel through the sheet metal, creating balanced pressure for stable support.

Thanks to our approach, the foundation issues were resolved without disruptive wall replacement, restoring both structural integrity and peace of mind for the homeowners.

After living in their new home for six months, these new homeowners realized that there were a few serious issues with their home. More specifically these issues pertained to the structural integrity of their home, as well as water penetrating their home. Because of these issues, they decided to contact Basement Systems of New York to see how we could remediate the issues at hand. 

By installing our patented systems we will be able to resolve both the direct and indirect effects of the water issues they are dealing with. More importantly, we will be able to restore both structural integrity back to this home and instill peace of mind for the homeowners. 

We started by jackhammering their entire concrete slab and removing it. After removing the old concrete slab, we dug down several inches to establish our area for our pre-cast footings. Once all our footing were at the proper depth we laid our pre-cast footings and installed our SmartJack foundation support systems. 

Once we installed our SmartJack systems, we moved on to cutting both our drain mat and CleanSpace to the proper dimensions before applying them to the basement walls. After completing the installation of our drain mat and CleanSpace. We then applied our PowerBraces with top lever brackets to the walls.

After applying our PowerBraces with top lever brackets we installed our WaterGuard waterproofing system around the perimeter of the basement, which we tied into our TripleSafe sump pump system with an external discharge line. Finally, we completed this project by pouring a new concrete slab.  

Since completing this project, the homeowners have noticed a tremendous difference in the structural integrity of their homes. As well they now have a functional and usable space that is not affecting the comfort levels of their home due to water. They could not have been any happier with how their project came out.
