Trusted Basement Waterproofing in Kingston, NY

A homeowner in Kingston, NY had a horrible looking sump pump in their basement. It was simply a square shaped hole in the concrete slab with a single pump in it. These types of sump pumps are extremely unreliable and do not help to protect basements from flooding during times of rain or heavy storms. Water can easily escape these types of pumps, especially since they are not sealed in any way. Upon our specialists’ observations when visiting the home, it was apparent that water had plagued this basement given the fact that there was a chalky white substance known as efflorescence all over the concrete block walls. Not to mention there were several water stains as well.

After inspecting the basement, our specialist Stone proposed that we install our TripleSafe Sump Pump System to give this homeowner’s basement the protection against floods that it needed. Unlike the old, faulty system the homeowner had previously, our TripleSafe Safe Sump Pump has a large basin that gets securely installed into the concrete slab of your basement. Our crew worked carefully to jackhammer the concrete slab to install this basin successfully. Once the basin was in place, both pumps were placed inside the basin on stands to raise them off the bottom of the liner and to keep sediment and silt away from the pumps. Both pumps are extremely powerful and can discharge thousands of gallons of water from your basement. In the event of a tripped circuit or power failure, the battery backup pump that we also installed will keep the TripleSafe Sump Pump System running as planned. The IceGuard that we placed on the discharge line will also help to prevent flooding in the event the discharge line gets clogged or frozen during the winter.

These devices and features were totally absent from the basic hole-in-the-ground sump pump that the homeowner had previously. Now that the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed, the homeowner no longer had to worry about a major flood happening in their basement because they finally had a trustworthy system in place.

A homeowner located in Kingston, NY had been living in their white home with red shutters for 5 years. Their basement had been leaking since for a while, and the homeowner became concerned about possibility of mold growth and having a safe place to store their belongings. Water would leak through the walls whenever it rained hard. This was evident by the efflorescence left behind on the concrete block walls of the basement. There was also a small puddle of water on the floor when our transformation specialist headed out to inspect the home. This homeowner needed a solution to their problem, which is why they contacted our company. After inspecting the basement, our specialist proposed that we install our CleanSpace Wall System, DryTrak System, and our TripleSafe Sump Pump System paired with our IceGuard.

The CleanSpace Wall System is a waterproof vapor barrier which tackles the issue of the leaky walls by preventing water vapor from passing through the walls. The DryTrak System is an interior drainage system made for houses with monolithic foundations. The opening at the top allows the system to collect any water coming through the walls where it then gets directed into the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This sump pump system provides the ultimate protection with its two cast-iron Zoeller horsepower pumps and battery backup system. The IceGuard gets attached to the discharge line of the sump pump system to prevent floods due to a clogged or frozen line during the wintertime. With all our products in place, the homeowner felt confident and assured that their basement would be protected and fully waterproofed! 

A homeowner located in Kingston, NY needed our basement waterproofing services, so they gave our team a call. Their basement was suffering from water intrusion and the homeowner wanted to stop this problem and keep their basement dry. After conducting a thorough evaluation of the basement, our specialist proposed installing several of our trustworthy products. Our CleanSpace Wall System got installed on the walls and our CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed on the floor paired with our drainage matting. This was done to prevent water vapor from coming up through the floor or the walls. To help collect the water coming through the walls, we installed our interior drainage system known as WaterGuard. Finally, to protect the basement from flooding, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Together, all these products work alongside each other to help keep the basement dry.

The CleanSpace Wall System holds back water vapor and keeps it passing through your basement walls. It is strong enough to get installed on top of stone walls, such as the ones in this homeowner’s basement, because it’s extremely durable and resistant to tears. It even includes anti-microbial protection known as UltraFresh, which prevents mold or mildew from growing on top of the CleanSpace Wall System itself. 

The CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed on the floor. This 20-mil reinforced polymer liner acts as a vapor barrier and like the wall system, is also resistant to wear and tear. When paired with our drainage matting, the ultimate durability and longevity of the encapsulation system is achieved, and a permanent seal is formed on top of the floor. 

The WaterGuard System can collect any water coming through the walls due to its wall flange and will then drain it into the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System is equipped with three lines of defense against flooding with its two cast-iron Zoeller horsepower pumps and a battery backup system. All three of them can discharge thousands of gallons of water from your basement. 

When everything was installed and in place, this basement became a dry and healthy environment!

A home owner in Kingston, New York reached out to us with concerns about their crawlspace. It was damp, moldy, and unusable, creating a major issue under their home. The homeowner called and discuss their concerns with our appointment center, who then scheduled an inspection with one of our highly trained specialists. On the day of the inspection, our specialist arrived, met with the homeowner and performed a thorough inspection of the crawlspace. The inspection revealed severe moisture issues and deteriorating insulation. To address these problems, our specialist proposed a complete encapsulation and insulation solution using SilverGlo and CleanSpace vapor barrier system. The first step was to remove the old damaged insulation and prepare the crawlspace for encapsulation. We then installed SilverGlo insulation on the crawlspace walls to improve energy efficiency, and to help reflect heat back into the space. Following this, we install the CleanSpace vapor barrier system over the floor and walls to prevent any moisture intrusion. This system creates a clean, dry, and bright environment in the crawlspace, turning it into a usable and healthy space. After reviewing the proposed solution with the homeowner, they gave us the greenlight to proceed. On the day of the installation, our production team led by a highly trained Foreman came in and installed the plan.
