Waterproofing a Basement in Lake Katrine, NY

A homeowner who had water coming into her basement after it heavily rained contacted us to see how we could help solve this problem. Although what she saw were a couple of small puddles, one puddle is one too many in any basement. To help prevent water from finding its way in, the crew installed our DryTrak System and our CleanSpace Wall System. The DryTrak System is an interior drainage system that collects the water coming in through the concrete block walls and transports the water to the sump pump we installed. The CleanSpace Wall System got installed behind this interior drainage system and helps funnel the water directly into the DryTrak itself. This wall system also serves as a vapor barrier and blocks humidity from coming through the basement walls. Once these systems were in place, the homeowner had a dry and healthy basement! 

Preventing Floods with the TrenchDrain System in Ulster Park, NY

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.  

Preventing Two Inches of Water from Flooding a Basement in Cornwall, NY

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.  

Stabilizing a Wall with Stair-Step Cracks in Cornwall, NY

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!

Fixing a Bowing and Cracking Wall in Cornwall, NY

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.
