Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

In addition to installing a two system waterproofing system to the basement and apartment, we did an exterior dig to install new footing drains & applied a waterproof coating to the walls with proper drainwall

Our Basement Systems team came to the rescue when flooding disrupted a families life. We installed and implemented multiple systems to prevent this from ever happening again. 

This homeowner's main concerns were that their crawl space needed to be waterproofed, as well that their foundation had issues as they noticed that their floor was slopping. Because of these two reasons, the homeowner contacted us to perform a No-Contact Consultation to provide them with a proposal of solutions. 

Because of the issues going on in their home we replaced multiple supports in the crawl space with our SmartJacks with pre-cast footings system to bring their home's floor back to true. Next, we closed the thermal envelope of the crawl space by installing CleanSpace on both the floor and walls to keep the dampness and humidity out of both the crawl space and the entirety of their home. Finally, we installed a crack monitor on any and all cracks that were on the foundation to close them up and to keep an eye on them to determine if they would become bigger or stay constant.

Since installing this multi-tiered system their home has become much more comfortable, they have gained a usable and brighter space, finally, they were able to have a home that did not have structural issues that they had to worry about regardless of the activity that they were performing. 

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.

These before and after pictures show the transformation of a space into something much better. This basement has our patented ThermalDry installed to allow water vapor to circulate underneath and dry out, while creating a thermal break that makes the floor's surface eight to ten degrees warmer than the concrete below.
