The Basement Transformer serving Pearl River, NY

A homeowner in Pearl River, NY needed a waterproofing solution for their basement. They needed a way to deal with the water intrusion and wanted protection from flooding. The bottom portion of their walls also needed to be ripped out and replaced due to water damage. 

It was determined by our specialist that these concerns and issues could be solved with our WaterGuard System, TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and Wall Restoration System. 

The WaterGuard System is a French drain that is designed to collect any water that is seeping through your basement walls. It has large drain openings and a unique shape that makes it resistant to clogs. Its wall flange that extends 3/8” up your basement walls allows the water to make its way into the WaterGuard, which then gets directed into the sump pump we installed.

The TripleSafe Sump Pump System features three lines of defense against flooding. It has two cast-iron Zoeller sump pumps, set at different horsepower, capable of discharging thousands of gallons of water. The UltraSump Battery Backup System is the third line of defense that saves the day if either pump fails or if the power goes out. It can discharge up to 11,500 gallons of water or more on a fully charged battery and keeps your system running smoothly.

The Wall Restoration System is made of inorganic, waterproof materials that will not be affected by any leaks should they occur in the future. It can replace the bottom 32” of your drywall that suffered from water damage, and they also do not support mold growth either.

Once all these products were installed, the homeowner knew their basement was protected from floods and water intrusion.  

Recently in Pearl River, NY, a homeowner was battling with a musty odor emanating from their crawl space, an issue that wasn't just annoying but threatened the cleanliness of their home's air and its structural integrity. They reached out to us, The Basement Transformer, seeking a durable solution to their soggy dilemma. Upon contact, our Appointment Center team quickly set up a home inspection. Our Transformation Specialist carried out a comprehensive assessment, pinpointing the problem's core: humidity and water infiltration in the crawl space.

Our proposed solution was clear and straightforward—installation of our state-of-the-art product trio: CleanSpace, SaniDry Sedona, and the SuperSump pump system. The CleanSpace liner was to act as a robust barrier, preventing moisture and dampness from penetrating the space. Paired with the dehumidifying power of the SaniDry Sedona, we assured the homeowner of markedly improved air quality throughout their entire home.

Lastly, the SuperSump would offer that extra assurance, effectively pumping out any intruding water and safeguarding the crawl space from future water damage. Our production team, led by an experienced foreman, executed the installation with precision, transforming the gloomy creek beneath the home into a dry, passable, and healthy space. The difference was palpable; on completion, the homeowner was relieved to find the musty odor gone, replaced by fresh, clean air. This transformation in Pearl River stands as a testament to our mission at The Basement Transformer—we’re not just fixing homes; we’re restoring peace of mind with our reliable and long-lasting solutions.
