Before & After Photos

The old wooden floor had rotted away. Now with the new concrete floor, the owners hope to use this as a living space!

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.

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.

Basement Systems of New York was called to help this homeowners pool with a much needed face lift. The pool itself was beautiful, but its concrete deck needed some help as it was sinking several inches, which ultimately created a hazard and eye sore for both the owner and those that use the pool We were able to remidy the issue at hand with the help of PolyLevel. By drilling down into the concrete we were able to properly position PolyLevel to bring both the concrete deck and pool itself back to level with one another. 

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.
