The Basement Transformer Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Ulster Park, NY needed us to help them prevent flooding from occurring in their basement. There was a doorway that led into their basement, and it was the perfect entryway for water to just waltz right in. To combat this issue, our production crew installed the TrenchDrain Grated Drain Pipe system. It is half a drainage pipe that features a grated opening right on top, which sits flush with the floor. It is meant for doorways such as the one found in this basement, and it works by collecting any water that passes over the drain and redirects it into your sump pump system. The lid is also removable, making it super convenient for removing any debris that may get inside and clog the system. Once our TrenchDain system was in place, this homeowner knew the possibility of their doorway allowing water to come into the basement would be eliminated.  

We received a call from a homeowner located in Cornwall, NY who needed help protecting their basement from flooding. Every time it rained, they would get two inches of water inside of their basement. This is truly a nightmare for homeowners, because that much water can do a lot of damage to the basement. Our specialist determined that a TripleSafe Sump Pump System needed to be installed to protect this basement from flooding in the future.

This patented sump pump system that we offer provides the ultimate protection against flooding thanks to its three lines of defense.

It features two cast-iron Zoeller horsepower sump pumps capable of discharging thousands of gallons of water from your home. If either pump fails, or if there is a power outage, the UltraSump Battery Backup System will turn on and save the day. This backup system ensures that your sump pump continues to run smoothly, and on a fully charged battery it can discharge up to 11,500 gallons of water or more!

After the sump pump system was installed, the homeowner could relax knowing their basement was now protected from floods.  

This homeowner in Cornwall, NY contacted us in search of a way to fix the cracking wall inside his basement. The walls inside this room had several stair-step cracks, a crack along the seam, and showed signs of water intrusion. It was clear this wall was comprised. Our crew sprang into action to fix this failing wall using our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System. It is up to ten times stronger in tension than steel and gets bonded to the interior face of the wall with super strong epoxy. Now that they are in place, this basement wall is now stabilized and isn’t going anywhere!

When this homeowner located in Cornwall, NY contacted us about a bowing wall inside their basement, we got them on the schedule for a free estimate with one of our foundation specialists. After taking a look at the wall, our specialist John proposed installing our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System to stabilize the wall and stop any more damage from occurring. This steel I-beam got secured to the floor joist above using a steel bracket that our foreman Eduardo installed. The best part is that this system can be adjusted to attempt to put the wall back in its original position. Once this was in place, the homeowner no longer had to stress about this wall bowing or cracking any further. 

This homeowner contacted us because they had water issues in their basement that they wanted to address before moving.  This person was getting ready to sell their home but did not want to leave the future owner with future problems. That’s when our crew at The Basement Transformer stepped in to make things right. To help get this house water free we had to install our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. There was water coming up through the middle and the perimeter of the porous concrete floor, but thanks to the TripleSafe that nightmare would end. This impressive and one-of-a-kind system is capable of discharging thousands of gallons of water thanks to its cast-iron Zoller horsepower sump pumps. The primary pump set at 1/3 horsepower can discharge up to 2,220 gallons of water, while the secondary pump set at 1/2 horsepower can discharge up to 3,900 additional gallons. Even if you experience a tripped circuit or a power outage, the UltraSump battery backup sump pump will still stop a flood in its tracks. When set at the highest level, this device can discharge up to 11,500 gallons or more of water! We made sure to install the entire system in this homeowner’s basement to prevent water from entering and damaging the area. The concrete floor was also restored after the installation of the sump pump was complete. Once our crew was done, the homeowner knew they could move and sell their home with no issues.
