Red Hook, NY's Premier Basement Finishing Company

·       A crawlspace in RedHook, NY was having moisture and structural issues so the homeowner contacted our team at The Basement Transformer to see how we could help. During their appointment, the transformation specialist determined that our CleanSpace Encapsulation System and SmartJack support beams would be the correct products to solve the issues in this crawlspace.

Our CleanSpace Encapsulation System is a super durable, 20-mil reinforced polymer liner that is specifically made to prevent water from finding its way into a crawlspace. It creates a dry and healthy crawlspace that can be used for storage without any worries or hesitation.

The SmartJack support beams were installed to stop the joists and the floor overhead from sagging any further. These beams can support a vertical load of up to 60,000 pounds and can be adjusted to attempt to lift the floor back to its original position. They are also made of galvanized, corrosion resistant steel, so you will never have to fear that they will rot or become compromised in any way.

Once this job was completed the homeowner could feel at ease knowing their crawlspace was stable again and water free!

A homeowner in Redhook New York, had a finished basement that developed a leak during a rain storm, ruining their beautifully finished basement. The homeowner had someone come in to clean their basement up, but they were now left with an almost completely unfinished basement that they wanted to finish again, but we're worried that their basement might flood and ruin their newly finished basement again. Before redoing their basement, they reached out to us to see how we could prevent their basement from flooding again, so we sent one of our specialists out to inspect their leaky basement. After our specialist, inspected their leaky basement, they recommended they have their basement waterproofed using our basement waterproofing system, which consists of our WaterGuard, TripleSafe sump pump, and our SaniDry dehumidification system. Our WaterGuard system works by our crew coming in and installing the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, so that if any water tries to enter the basement, it will get captured by our water guard system, which will then direct the water to our some pump system. As water enters our sump pump system, it will get discharged out of the home by one of the three pumps located inside the sump pump. The first pump is our primary pump, which will handle most of the heavy lifting. The second pump is our secondary pump, in case the primary becomes overwhelmed with water, or in the event it fails. The third pump in our system is our battery back up pump, which will kick on and discharge water in the event the home lost power during a rain storm. To ensure this basement remains completely dry and usable, we installed our SaniDry dehumidifier system that will remove any moisture, mold, or mildew particles from the air, helping to create a dry and healthy environment. Now this homeowner has a basement that's completely dry and usable for many years to come.

A homeowner in Redhook, New York had been struggling with their crawlspace for quite some time. They were dealing with persistent, dampness, mold growth, and floors that had begun to sag. Realizing they needed professional help, they contacted us for a free inspection. Our appointment center quickly set up an inspection with one of our highly trained specialists. On the schedule day, our specialist arrived at the homeowners property, ready to assess the situation. After meeting with the homeowner, the specialist conducted a thorough inspection of the crawlspace. The inspection revealed significant moisture issues, insufficient insulation, and weakened support beams that were causing the floors to sag. Understanding the urgency, our specialist proposed a detailed plan, which included insulating the crawlspace, encapsulating it with a vapor barrier, and installing SmartJacks to stabilize the floors. We began by clearing out the debris and prepping the area for the installation. The first task was to install our SilverGlo insulation along the walls of the crawl space to enhance the energy efficiency of the home and create a thermal barrier. This was followed by the encapsulation process using our CleanSpace vapor barrier system. This system covers the floor and walls, effectively sealing out moisture and creating a clean, dry, and usable space. Next, we tackled the structural issues by installing our SmartJack support system. Adjustable steel piers were placed under the crawl space beams to lift and stabilize the sagging floors. This provided a permanent solution to the structural problems, ensuring that the floors remained level and secure. Once the homeowner reviewed and approve the plan, we schedule the installation. On the day of the installation, our production team, led by an experienced Foreman, installed the plan our specialist created. After the installed the homeowner was left with a clean, dry, usable and stable crawl space for many years to come.
