There was a homeowner located in Hurley, NY that needed a top performing sump pump system. That’s when The Basement Transformer team came to help. Our crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which offers three lines of defense against flooding. This system includes two cast-iron Zoeller horsepower sump pumps and a battery back-up sump pump that assures homeowners everywhere that their TripleSafe Sump Pump will always work under any circumstance. All three of these pumps are designed to discharge thousands of gallons of water from your basement.
The lid and the floor drain are also airtight, keeping out unpleasant odors and ensuring that your sump pump will not become clogged with debris from the basement. It even features a WaterWatch Alarm system that will alert you in case water has risen past the point where the pumps should have activated.
After the concrete floor has been jackhammered to make room for our TripleSafe, the floor is restored, and it looks like our crew was never there.
Once this installation was complete this homeowner had no more mess and no more stress!

A homeowner in New Paltz, NY needed their crawl space to be encapsulated and sealed off from the earth. Pools of water could be seen in different areas throughout the crawl space. The dirt floor inside this crawl space had also turned into a muddy mess. It was clear that something needed to be done. After conducting an inspection, our specialist proposed installing our CleanSpace Encapsulation System, drainage matting, and SilverGlo insulation. Our CleanSpace Encapsulation System is the perfect solution for sealing off crawl spaces from the earth. This 20-mil reinforced polymer liner acts as a vapor barrier and prevents water vapor from coming up through the floor and into the crawl space. It is made with multiple layers of plastic, is resistant to tearing, is super durable, and does not support mold growth. The drainage matting gets placed underneath, enhancing the durability and longevity of the CleanSpace Encapsulation System. It too helps to form a seal over a leaking crawl space floor such as this one.
The SilverGlo insulation helps to stop air leaks from happening and cannot be damaged by moisture. Unlike fiberglass, this rigid foam insulation will not absorb water and fall apart either.
With all these products installed, this crawl space went from being a wet and muddy mess to a dry and healthy environment!
A home built in the 1970s located in New Paltz, NY was purchased by a new owner. A home inspector had pointed out to the new homeowner that the crawl space underneath the house was not in the best condition, so the homeowner contacted our company to see how we could help. When meeting with our specialist, the homeowner shared that they were concerned about the quality of the air in their home and that it smelled moldy or musty upstairs. To seal the crawl space off from the earth and prevent water vapor from entering, we encapsulated it using our CleanSpace Encapsulation System. To keep the humidity under control and to eliminate that damp feeling, we installed the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.
A crawl space located in Highland Mills, NY looked like a total disaster. There were cobwebs and dirt everywhere. The old insulation was peeling off the walls and the ceiling. Nothing about this crawl space looked or felt safe, and that’s why this homeowner gave us a call. Our crew knew that our CleanSpace Encapsulation System and Foamax Wall Insulation Panels would be the answer to this homeowner’s problems.
The Foamax Wall Panels went all along the perimeter of the crawl space and the CleanSpace Encapsulation System covered the entirety of the floor.
Unlike typical forms of insulation made from fiberglass, Foamax is waterproof and does not support mold or mildew growth. Foamax is made of polyisocyanurate foam and features a foil vapor barrier on its backside, which reduces condensation and protects against moisture.
The CleanSpace Encapsulation is the perfect waterproofing solution that also provides protection against mold growth and pest infestations. It is a 20-mil reinforced polymer liner with a drainage mat installed underneath, which forms a permanent seal for leaking crawl space floors. This vapor barrier system will ensure that the water stays out and the humidity is under control.
Once our team was done, this homeowner had a safer and dryer crawl space!
