Photo Album: A New Wall With A Waterproofing System - Wallkill, NY

Due to the low rates and everyone looking to sell during Coronavirus this gentleman was looking to purchase this home. During their inspection process, they were advised to have the foundation inspected as it had both multiple signs of cracks and water entering from the wall-floor joints, and coming up through the slab due to hydrostatic pressure. Once our Specialist had evaluated their basement we were able to explain to them that they had not only a water problem, but also structural issues. In order to fix these problems for the new homeowner, we needed to install a myriad of systems to make sure that their home is sound both from water and from falling over. In order to do this, we needed to form and pour four feet of concrete in the room with damaged walls and then install a new four-inch-thick steel I-beam with three SmartJacks with weight distribution plates. This system will alleviate any and all structural problems that they are currently having or that they will have in the foreseeable future. Next, we installed FlowGuard and Delta Drain around the main perimeter of basement with a new slab foundation with a bump-out, which was complemented with a lateral and corner basin which would lead to our TripleSafe sump pump system. Finally, we placed our vapor barrier, CleanSpace on the walls to redirect any and all moisture that would form behind it to the sump pump and out of the home. This intricate waterproofing system will keep them dry for years to come, as well as their home extremely comfortable and free of smells. This gentleman found us by performing a basic google search in order to make his home more comfortable and functional. In the end, he decided to have us perform the work due to our previous projects, as well as the reviews that we had received from those previous projects' best reviews. Since these systems have been implemented their new home has become somewhere that they do not want to leave and that they are certain will always have more than enough space for them.
