The Basement Transformer serving Livingston Manor, NY

A homeowner in Livingston Manor, NY with a leaky basement contacted our team here at The Basement Transformer to find out how we could help keep her basement dry. Shortly after we got her on the schedule for a free estimate, our transformation specialist headed out to her home to assess the situation. Once he completed his inspection of the basement, he determined that we needed to install the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, an interior drainage system, and a dehumidifier. When our crew completed the job in early July, they started out by jackhammering parts of the concrete slab in the basement to make room for our products to get installed. As the crew went deeper into parts of the slab, they hit water. Water could also be seen pooling in the middle of the floor. It became crystal clear to our crew that this basement was truly in need of our services and our team’s expertise. 

The interior drainage system we installed is known as The WaterGuard System. It gets installed slightly below the concrete slab and rests on top of the foundation footing, which helps to prevent it from getting clogged. The WaterGuard System collects the water leaking in through the walls using its built-in wall flange. It then transports and drains that water into the TripleSafe Sump Pump System we installed. This state-of-the-art sum pump system will protect this basement from flooding thanks to its two pumps capable of discharging thousands of gallons of water. We also included our UltraSump Battery Backup System to keep the sump pump running even if there’s a power outage or tripped circuit, and our IceGuard to prevent a flood due to a clogged or frozen discharge line. Finally, to keep the humidity low and under control, we installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier which can remove up to 100 pints of water from the basement air per day. Once the job was done, the homeowner was left with a dry and healthy basement! 

A man living in Livingston Manor, NY in a light gray house, contacted our company after he noticed that water was making its way into his basement. He had an outer entryway that was allowing water to come in, and he was looking for a way to put an end to this issue. Our appointment center scheduled the homeowner for a free estimate with our transformation specialist, Dimitri. Once Dimitri finished inspecting the basement, he knew exactly what waterproofing solution was needed for this homeowner. The homeowner agreed, and our crew installed a waterproofing system inside the basement in early July. 

To combat the leaky outer entryway, we installed our TrenchDrain system along the inside of the entrance. Thanks to the grated opening, it can accept water right from the floor and help redirect it towards the sump pump system we installed. We ran a lateral feed line from the TrenchDrain System into the SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System so that the water could be transported out and away from the home. This sump pump can discharge up to 2,220 gallons of water, and we also included an IceGuard on the discharge line to prevent flooding due to a frozen or clogged line during the wintertime. Once our team was finished, this homeowner no longer had to stress about water coming in and wreaking havoc on his basement. Now there is a reliable system in place to handle it!

This homeowner in Livingston Manor, NY needed their crawlspace completely transformed and our company knew exactly how to help. 

The Basement Transformer is equipped with state-of-the-art products that can completely change a crawl space, and that’s exactly what we did for this homeowner. 

Using our CleanSpace Encapsulation System, we stopped water vapor from finding its way from the ground up and into this small area. 

This specially designed vapor barrier prevents mold growth, wood rot, and pest infestations. It is a 20-mil reinforced polymer liner that helps to improve the air quality in the home and has a 25-year warranty against any rips and tears, giving homeowners peace of mind. 

Also included in this encapsulation job was the installation of our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. It helps to maintain the ideal level of humidity inside a crawl space and has a highly effective filter that removes particles even smaller than dust mites and mold spores. 

Finally, we installed our SmartJack Crawl Space Support System to restabilize the crawl space. They are attached by steel support beams to the floor joists and a sturdy base at the floor. Once in place, they can be adjusted at any time should your home need it. 

When this job was completed, this homeowner had a stable and dry crawl space thanks to the work done by our production crew.
