New Paltz, NY's Leading Home Repair Contractor

A homeowner in New Paltz, NY needed their basement to feel warmer and drier. After contacting us for a free estimate, we scheduled a time for our specialist to look at the basement and to see what could be done. Once the inspection was completed, our specialist proposed that our team install our Foamax Wall Insulation Panels. These panels are made with polyisocyanurate foam and feature a white foil finish on the front with a foil vapor barrier on the back. The white finish helps to brighten up the basement while the vapor barrier keeps the humidity under control. Foamax panels can help reduce condensation and help to make your basement feel warmer overall. By insulating your basement, moist air will be prevented from coming in contact with cold walls, which stops condensation from forming during the summertime. They also help keep the heat inside your home during the wintertime. As an added bonus, these wall panels do not have to be finished and can be left exposed as is. Once our team was done, not only did the basement walls brighten up the space, but it was also a much more comfortable environment! The homeowner could feel at ease knowing that their basement was taken care of and would feel much better overall.

This homeowner in New Paltz, NY had water seepage coming through the basement walls. The concrete walls began to flake as a result. Searching for a solution to this problem, the homeowner contacted our team to see how we could help. Upon inspection, our specialist determined that we would need to install our CleanSpace Wall System and WaterGuard System to prevent water from seeping through the walls and making its way into the basement.  

Our CleanSpace Wall System is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that stops the humidity from leaking through the concrete walls. Unlike concrete, the CleanSpace Wall System will never flake away like this homeowner’s walls were already doing prior to us installing this. CleanSpace does not support mold growth either and contains built-in microbial protection known as UltraFresh! This wall system truly transformed the unfinished basement walls and brightened up the space as well. The CleanSpace Wall System will then help direct the water down into the WaterGuard System. This is our patented interior drainage system made to collect water that seeps through basement walls. It can do this thanks to the built-in wall flange that extends up the basement wall at 3/8”. It even features large drain openings and a unique shape that helps make it resistant to clogs. Once both products were installed, this homeowner no longer had to worry about water coming through the concrete walls and into the basement. 

A homeowner in New Platz, NY had water seeping through their porous concrete block walls. This was clear from the white efflorescence on different areas of the walls, which gets left behind after water evaporates and dissolves the minerals in the concrete. Our specialist knew that our WaterGuard System would be the best type of French drain for this homeowner’s issue. 

This patented and award-winning system sits above the foundation footing and out of the “mud zone” so it does not get clogged from dirt or debris. Its large drain openings and unique shape also help prevent it from becoming clogged. It even has service ports which provide easy access for any future maintenance. 

The wall flange that extends up the wall at 3/8” allows the system to collect any water that seeps through where it is then directed into your sump pump system. 

It installs easily and quickly and requires minimal invasion to the concrete slab. Once the whole system was in place, all the concrete that was jackhammered away was restored. The homeowner knew water would no longer intrude through the walls and into their basement thanks to our WaterGuard System. 

A homeowner in New Paltz, New York, reached out to us with concerns about water intrusion through their foundation walls, causing persistent dampness and the risk of mold growth in their basement. The homeowner called us and discussed 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 basement. The inspection revealed that water was seeping through cracks in the foundation walls due to hydrostatic pressure. To address these problems, our specialist proposed a comprehensive waterproofing solution to ensure the basement remain dry and protected. The solution included installing our WaterGuard drainage system, a TripleSafe sump pump system, and our CleanSpace wall system. The first step involves installing the WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement floor. This system captures water seepage before it reaches the basement floor and directs it to our sump pump system. Next, we install our TripleSafe sump pump system, which features three levels of protection, a primary pump, a secondary pump for heavy water flow, and a battery backup pump for power outages. This insurance continuously operation, even during power failures, keeping the basement dry at all times. Finally, we installed our CleanSpace wall system to provide a clean, bright finish to the walls, while acting as a vapor barrier, directing any wall seepage into our WaterGuard system. 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, installed the plan our specialist created. The transformation was remarkable. The once damp basement was now dry, bright, and protected against water intrusion. The homeowner was thrilled with the results, and no longer had concerns about water entering their basement.
