Before & After Photos

This homeowner had contacted us about two and half years ago saying they thought they had a leak in their basement. Our Specialist then went out and evaluated their home, upon his evaluation he was able to confirm their thoughts about a plumbing leak, he as well mentioned to them that there were a couple of signs that concerned him about their being potentially a bigger water problem in the future. Two years later our Specialist received a call again from the homeowner that their basement was taking on an extreme amount of water due to the issues that our Specialist had pointed out during his previous evaluation. He was able to figure out that they had a lot of hydrostatic pressure pushing water up into their basement.

For us to fix the problem at hand for this homeowner to ensure that their home stays dry regardless of the season, as well as the amount of rain or snow they get we installed one of our patented waterproofing systems, which is comprised of 160 feet of FlowGuard, an under slab system with a lateral that spaned from the back part of their basement to our sump basin. Finally to make sure that all water caught by our waterproofing system would be directed out of the home we installed a SuperSump basin with approximately 220 feet of gravity discharged, which would run in front of their home to the front right-hand corner of the property where it would discharge into their pond. 

Just as we are always improving the lives of our clients and bringing peace of mind to them we are always improving our shop. Our team needed a dedicated area to keep materials, supplies, and miscellaneous tools/vehicles. Because of this need, we decided the best thing to do was to pour a new concrete slab that would be dedicated to these items. We now have one area where all our items can be stored, instead of them being stored in multiple locations throughout the shop. 

This homeowner just recently purchased this home and was gutting it. During their inspection period, they were made aware that they were going to need to waterproof their basement as it had a significant water issue. Because of this, they contacted us to see what could be done in order to remedy the water issue they were having, as well as transform their basement into a beautiful usable space.

In order to remedy the problem at hand as well as accomplish the task of transforming their basement, we implemented four different systems which tied directly into each other. The systems that we installed were our patented FlowGuard waterproofing perimeter system along with Brightwall, these two systems were then tied directly into our TripleSafe sump pump system with a discharge line out to daylight. By implementing these systems together we are able to catch any and all water that would/can penetrate their home and divert it to their new sump pump, all while keeping their basement bright and beautiful. 

Since installing these systems the homeowners have noticed an overall improvement in their quality of life, but more importantly to them, they now have a beautiful brand new basement that they can use for storage space, a play place, and entertaining space. They could not have been more thrilled with how the final product came out.  

This homeowner was referred to us by a previous client. Because of where they live, they never had an issue with water penetrating their home. That is until hurricane Ida. During Hurricane Ida, seven inches of water flooded their basement. Since then every time there is a significant amount of rain, water comes up from the floor. Because of the issue and our client's referral, they contacted Basement Systems Of New York to see how we could take care of the issue.

To take care of the issue, we started by creating the trench for our waterproofing system around the entire perimeter of the basement. We then began to fill it with our gravel and perforated pipe before covering everything with a layer of gravel and our trenchdrain. Once covered we applied our FlowGuard waterproofing system on top of everything and tied the system into our patented TripleSafe sump pump system.

Since installing our patented waterproofing system, they have not seen any water in their home. For them, this was the biggest concern because they were tired of getting up in the middle of the night to stay ahead of water coming into their home, as well as the annoyance of having water in their home. By cutting down the wall and supporting their home we could increase the overall space they had in their home. They could not be happier with how their project turned out, but more importantly than anything, they are grateful to have peace of mind restored.
