Even Apartment Buildings Need Some TLC - Fishkill, NY

The management team at the Olde Post Mall Apartment Complex contacted Basement Systems of New York to see what could be done to help improve the overall quality of their tenants lives in three of their apartment buildings. In order for us to remediate the temperature and musty smell issues that their tenants were dealing with we needed to install several of our patented systems to take care of the issues at hand.

In order to transform their crawl spaces we needed to blow 4-6" of gravel in all three crawl spaces and install our FlowGuard perimeter drainage system, which was then connected to our TripleSafe sump pumps. We then encapsulated the systems installed by pouring a new 4" concrete floor on top. After installing these systems we then sprayed spray foam insulation in both the floor and rim joists to seal the thermal barrier of the crawl spaces. Finally we installed two Basementaire dehumidifiers and Everlast doors.

Since we completed this project the tenants have noticed the musty smell that they were living with is now gone, as well the overall comfort level of their apartments have greatly improved. They could not be more thrilled to have a space now that they do not want to leave.
