This homeowner contacted Basement Systems of New York because their home had a cinder block post-and-beam foundation with a dirt-floor crawlspace. Upon their yearly inspection of the space, they discovered a hole over ten inches in the cinder block above the frost line. Their main priority was to address the foundation issues that they were currently dealing with, as well they wanted to clean up and encapsulate their crawl space.
To take care of all the issues plaguing their crawl space, we first removed all the old fiberglass from the crawl space ceiling. Next, we started to dig our basin hole for our SuperSump plus sump pump system with a discharge line out to daylight, which we then tied into our SmartPipe waterproofing system. Once this was completed we started to excavate and remove their deteriorated support system, which we then replaced with ten SmartJack support systems.
Finally, we sprayed 3" of closed-cell spray foam on their rim joists, installed our Basementaire dehumidification system, and encapsulated the entirety of their crawl space with our patented 20 mil CleanSpace encapsulation system with drain mat underneath it. By doing this we can keep any water from seeping into their crawl space, as well as use the path of least resistance to direct any water to our SmartPipe waterproofing system and directly out of their home through our patented SuperSump plus sump pump system.
After installing our patented systems these homeowners noticed immediately that the structural integrity of their home vastly increased, as well that their home was much more comfortable thanks to all of the systems that we implemented in their crawl space. These homeowners could not have been any more pleased with how their project turned out. More importantly to them, than anything was that they had peace of mind restored back to them.
