Professional Basement Finishing & Home Remodeling Experts in Rockland County, NY

We LOVE referrals from our friends, neighbors and in this case Real Estate Agents.  These homeowners were in the process of closing on this condo in Garnerville when we received a call from their Real Estate Agent Christina. 

When completing the final walkthrough, Christina and the prospective homeowners entered the basement where they discovered over 4 inches of water.

So what is the process when you have water damage in your basement?  At The Home Transformer, we start by cutting out the damaged sheet rock to a height of 32" from the floor and installing our Waterguard Waterproofing System.  Drywall is an excellent conductor of moisture and mold.  We then install our Basement Finishing System; waterproof vinyl and cement board wall panels, pvc trim and base molding.  Everything we install in a basement is completely Inorganic Material, meaning it will not crumble or grow mold in a moist environment.

With all water and moisture issues being addressed by our Basement Finishing Systems, these homeowners can move forward with the closing of their new home and a BEAUTIFUL basement to enjoy!!

Thank you Christina for the referral!!!

A homeowner in Suffern, New York, reached out to us with concerns about their basement, which experienced significant water intrusion during heavy rains. This issue was creating a damp, moldy, and unusable space, causing concern for the health and structural integrity of their home. The homeowner contacted our appointment center and discuss their concerns leading to a scheduled inspection with one of our highly trained specialists. On the day of the inspection, our specialist arrived  and met with the homeowner, to understand their concerns. After a thorough inspection of the basement, it was clear that water was seeping through the foundation walls, and the lack of a proper drainage system was making the problem worse. Our specialist proposed a comprehensive solution, involving the installation of our WaterGuard drainage system, and our TripleSafe sump pump system. The WaterGuard system was to be installed around the perimeter of the basement to capture water seepage before it reaches the the basement floor. The system would then direct the water to our TripleSafe sump pump system, which would pump the water out and away from the home, ensuring the basement remains dry. The installation process began with the excavation of a narrow trench around the perimeter of the basement. Our team then install our WaterGuard system in the trench, and sealed it with a layer of concrete, ensuring it would capture any water seepage. Next, we install the TripleSafe sump pump system, featuring three levels of protection, a primary pump, a secondary pump for heavy water flow, and a battery back up pump to ensure continuous operation during power outages. After the installation was complete, the homeowner was thrilled with the results. With a newly installed WaterGuard drainage system and TripleSafe sump pump system, the basement is now fully protected from water intrusion, providing the homeowner with peace of mind and a healthier living environment.

A homeowner in Nyack, New York, was dealing with a basement that consistently flooded every time it rained, causing significant water damage and ruining the once finished basement. Frustrated with the issue, they reached out to us for a permanent solution to keep their basement dry. Our appointment center scheduled them for an inspection with one of our experienced specialists. Upon inspection, our specialist identified the main issue, water intrusion through the wall and floor joints and high humidity levels. To address these problems, our specialist recommended our waterproofing system that includes installing our DryTrack system, TripleSafe sump pump system, and our SaniDry dehumidifier system. First, our crew installed our DryTrack system on top of the cement around the perimeter of the basement. This system will capture any water seeping through the floor and wall joints and directs it into our sump pump system. Next, we installed our TripleSafe sump pump system. This system includes three pumps, the primary pump which handles most of the water removal, the secondary pump will kick on if the primary becomes overwhelmed, and the battery backup pump kicks on during power outages. This system ensures the basement remains dry even during heavy rains or power outages. To further ensure a dry and healthy environment, we installed our SaniDry dehumidifier system to remove any moisture from the air, preventing mold and mildew growth. A basement once facing water intrusion issues, was now a dry, usable space. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and no longer worried about water or humidity problems in their basement.
