Basement Systems of New York Before & After Photos

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.

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.

Basement Systems of New York was contacted by this homeowner to have us bring her steps and porch back to level and true. As you can see below her front steps and porch are unlevel, and leaning. These two issues were both an eyesore and a tremendous hazard to the homeowner and all that stepped foot on them. 

To correct the problems at hand we had to strategically drill our 5/8th pilot holes throughout the steps and porch, we then implemented our PolyLevel system to make sure that we filled the voids properly to bring the stairs as level as we could to their concrete and to fill the voids that created the separation and leaning that was occurring. We then installed a small amount of concrete to offset for the remainder of leveling that needed to occur to make their stairs and concrete level, the little bit of truing that needed to occur could not be accomplished with more PolyLevel as the amount that needed to be finished was due to how the stairs were leaning.

By using these two methods of leveling we were able to bring the homeowners' porch and stairs back to level and true with their house and front yard. This ultimately has allowed them the ability to remove the humendous eyesore and hazard from their home and has allowed them to regain peace of mind about friends, family and other setting foot on their property.
