Your Leading Orange County, NY Basement Finishing & Home Remodeling Company

Our team had the honor of helping this family in New Windsor with a damaged basement from years of flooding.  Their goal was to create a safe and dry space for their daughters to play in and enjoy.

To start, we had to remove the lower 32" of damaged sheet rock and other organic material that over time are going to grow mold and mildew; not the best environment for children.  We then used our patented Everlast Wall Panels  and PVC trim which is specifically designed for high humidity areas.  They are highly mold resistant, unlike standard gypsum or sheetrock boards that other contractors would use.

After just 3 days, we were able to achieve the customers goal and give them a space that they thought would take months to accomplish.  Thank you to these homeowners for allowing us to be a part of it!!!

A homeowner in Newburgh, New York reached out to us with concerns about their crawl space, it seemed to flood every time it rained which was creating a nasty, moldy, unusable space under their home. The homeowner was gave us a call and discussed their concerns with our Appointment Center who then scheduled them for an inspection with one of our highly trained specialists. On the day of the inspection, our specialist showed up, met with the homeowner, and performed a thorough inspection of the crawl space. The results of the inspection was that they water intrusion issues in their crawl space due to living in an area with a high water, after understand the cause of the flooding our specialist created a complete solution to solve their crawl space issues. The solution our specialist proposed was to have their crawl space encapsulated using our CleanSpace vapor barrier system, sump pump system, and our SaniDry dehumidifier system. The way this works is by a layer of drainage matting being placed over the dirt floor to control and direct the flow of any water that tries to enter the crawl space. To prevent any water or moisture from entering the crawl space we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier system over the drainage matting to create a clean, dry, bright, usable space. To ensure this crawl space no longer floods we installed our sump pump system, which will collect any water that flows under the drainage matting and discharges it out and away from the home. The last recommended system was our SaniDry dehumidifier, which is designed to remove any moisture, mold, or small mildew particles from the air ensuring a healthy, safe environment. After reviewing the proposed solution with the homeowner they gave us the green light to encapsulate their crawl space. On the day of the installation, our production team led by a highly trained Foreman came in and installed the proposed plan our specialist created for this crawl space. The end result was a crawl space that was clean, dry, and usable and a homeowner who no longer had concerns about their crawl space. 

At The Basement Transformer, we recently partnered with a homeowner in Arden, NY, tackling an all-too-common issue that countless folks encounter - water seeping into the basement with every rainfall. This was not just a puddle or two; we're talking about significant water intrusion that turned what could be a valuable living space into a no-go zone whenever the weather turned foul. Our approach began with a chat with our Appointment Center team, leading to an in-depth inspection by a Transformation Specialist from our Sales Team. It was quickly evident that this wasn't a problem that could be patched up with a quick fix.

The solution called for a comprehensive waterproofing system to give our client a permanently dry basement, regardless of the downpour. Here’s how we did it: First in line was the installation of WaterGuard along the basement's perimeter. It's not just any drainage system; it's designed to smartly capture wall and floor seepage before it even reaches the living space. Next, knowing the heart of any waterproof system is its sump pump, we installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump - a reliable powerhouse that kicks into action at the slightest hint of water. Facing the winter season head-on, the IceGuard system was added to ensure that even if the discharge lines freeze, the basement stays dry.

Completing the job saw our skilled team not only delivering a cutting-edge waterproofing system but also leaving the basement in spotless condition, ready for whatever plans the homeowner had in store. The aftermath? A homeowner brimming with relief and a basement that stands rain or shine - a true transformation that’s set to reinstate their peace of mind and elevate their home.

We were thrilled when this homeowner found us at our local Orange County home show. Our appointment center promptly scheduled our production crew to get to work and help this homeowner with their problem.

The porous, concrete walls in the basement were allowing water to seep through and come onto the floor. This caused damage to the surrounding concrete walls and the cement flooring. Efflorescence, a white chalky substance, started forming on the walls as well, showing signs of a moisture issue.

Our solution? Installing our trustworthy products to take care of the problem at hand. A WaterGuard drainage system was put all around the perimeter of the basement floor to ensure that water would be blocked before ever getting into the basement itself. This is also thanks to the Triple Safe Sump Pump we installed, which makes sure that the water leaves the house as it enters the WaterGuard.

IceGuards were also installed in case the pipes ever freeze when the temperature drops drastically, helping the homeowner feel at ease knowing the system we installed will still work in the cold winter months here in NY.

To combat any possible moisture issues in the future, we also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep the basement dry and damp free!

Now this homeowner’s basement is safe and usable again.

In Middletown, NY there was a homeowner very much in need of our services. The concrete walls in this basement were allowing water to seep through because of their porous nature. Efflorescence was forming all over the walls and damaging the structural integrity of them. There were visible issues and damage all over the basement.

A complete basement finishing job was proposed to make this basement look brand new and transform it into a completely useable and livable space.

We gave this basement an insulated EverLast perimeter wall system, a brand new UltraSump battery backup system, and tiled ThermalDry flooring. EverLast basement windows were also included to replace the old windows, as well as an Egress window. Before long, this basement was good as new and safe to use!

Our crew had to start from scratch to restore this homeowner’s basement, which involved ripping out what was already there previously. The old walls and floors had visible signs of severe water damage, and they were in bad shape. We used all our most trustworthy products to completely waterproof this basement and make it safe again for the homeowner. 

We started by installing a couple of new drainage systems from our various product lines. Beginning with our WaterGuard system, we installed this below the flooring and on top of the foundation footing so it wouldn’t become clogged with dirt and rock particles. The concrete floor is then restored after this step is complete. Next, we installed our TrenchDrain paired with our TrenchLock inserts. The TrenchDrain is designed to prevent water from entering the basement via an outer entryway point, like a garage door. Water is redirected to your perimeter drain and sump pump, so it never enters the basement and damages the surrounding floor. 

A TripleSafe sump pump was also installed, which features 2 main pumps, and 1 battery powered back up pump. A WaterWatch alarm system even comes with it to alert the homeowner in the event water rises above the maximum level before the pumps turn on. The IceGuard was also installed alongside these products to prevent any flooding due to a clogged line during times when the temperature drops significantly. 

Finally, a LawnScape outlet was provided to ensure that water would be directed onto the ground above and away from the home. This also ensured that the homeowner’s gutters would drain properly and that no excess water could get into the foundation. 

A homeowner in Warwick, NY contacted us for help because they saw some water pooling in one corner of their semi-finished basement. They also informed us that they were experiencing leaks during heavy rainstorms. 

As part of the solution to help stop the water from coming into the basement, we needed to install a TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This is one of our top performing sump pump systems because it features three levels of protection against flooding. It contains two cast iron Zoeller horse powered pumps, and a battery powered back up pump that turns on in the event the power goes out. The main pump is capable of discharging 2,220 gallons of water per hour, and the secondary pump can discharge up to 3,900 gallons of water per hour. When fully charged, the battery powered back up pump will pump out 11,500 gallons of water! 

Not only does this sump pump push out thousands of gallons of water, but it also features an airtight lid that keeps debris from getting inside and interfering with the sump pump. 

We helped this homeowner avoid the possibility of any flooding in the future and put their mind at ease by installing our TripleSafe Sump Pump System.

A homeowner in Greenwood Lake, NY wanted to be in a peaceful state of mind knowing that their sump pump system would never fail and would continue to work despite any harsh weather conditions that could arise. 

To make sure their TripleSafe Sump Pump System ran smoothly during the wintertime, we installed our IceGuard Discharge Line System along with it. 

In the event your line freezes, causing water to back up into your sump pump, the IceGuard will give the water a secondary route to escape. With its unique design, it fits over the top of the discharge line for the sump pump and allows water to leave through the slotted holes in the drainpipe. All the water will be directed away from the home, avoiding any horrible floods. After this was installed, this homeowner knew their crawl space would remain dry no matter what kind of weather they were having! 

This homeowner in Pine Island, NY needed their basement to be completely waterproof. The CleanSpace Wall System was the product our team installed to solve their problems. This innovative product provides protection against mold and gives the basement a cleaner and brighter appearance. It was able to cover the walls of this homeowner’s basement, making them look brand new! It is a vapor barrier made from 100% waterproof plastic, with anti-microbial properties built right into it. Once the installation was complete, humidity issues were no longer a concern, and water could not make its way through the basement walls any more. 

Our production crew also installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System paired with our IceGuard Discharge Line System to provide even more protection against water intrusion and flooding in the basement. 

Our TripleSafe Sump Pump comes with two powerful, Zoeller cast iron sump pumps and a battery powered back-up pump capable of discharging thousands of gallons of water from your basement. This system provides three layers of protection and ensures your sump pump is working, whether it’s raining or shining! 

The IceGuard Discharge Line System is another line of defense against floods. In the event the underground discharge line for your sump pump freezes, the IceGuard allows water to escape through a secondary route via the slotted openings. With this product in place, this homeowner will not have to worry about water backing up into their basement during the colder months. 

All 3 of these products gave this homeowner the perfect waterproof solution. Contact us today for a free estimate to waterproof your basement!

This homeowner in Pine Island, NY had a unique foundation known as a monolithic foundation, which required a special waterproofing solution. 

A monolithic foundation is when the walls sit on top of the floor, thus making the edges of the floor extremely thick. To avoid having to do labor intensive jack hammering on this thick flooring, our crew installed our DryTrak Drain Pipe System to help this person address their leaky basement issues. This drainpipe is epoxied directly to the floor, with a slight opening at the top to collect any water leaking in through the walls. 

Tucked into the DryTrak Drain Pipe System, was our CleanSpace Wall System, another waterproofing product that The Basement Transformer offers. This 100% waterproof plastic barrier has anti-microbial protection called UltraFresh that is built right into it. It prevents humidity from finding its way through your basement walls and into your home. It also helped to clean up the overall appearance of this basement and made the entire room brighter!
