Suffern sits at the foot of the Ramapo Mountains in Rockland County, where the Ramapo and Mahwah Rivers meet. That setting makes the village a great place to live, but hillside runoff, high groundwater after heavy rain, and freeze-thaw winters put real pressure on basements and crawl spaces. Many Suffern homes are also older, with foundations and crawl spaces that were never built to keep moisture out.
The Basement Transformer has completed basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and basement finishing projects right here in Suffern. Whether you're dealing with a damp crawl space, water on the basement floor after a storm, or an unfinished basement you're ready to use, our team can inspect the space and give you a free, no-obligation estimate.
A wet, open crawl space doesn't just stay under the house. Moist air rises into your living space, bringing musty odors, mold spores, and humidity that can rot wood framing and attract pests. We recently encapsulated a crawl space in Suffern, sealing it off from the soil so it stays clean and dry year-round.
Our crawl space repair solutions for Suffern homeowners include:

When heavy rain moves through the Ramapo Valley, water finds its way through foundation walls, wall cracks, and the joint where the wall meets the floor. One Suffern homeowner called us after their basement took on water every time it rained. Our specialist found water seeping through the foundation walls with no drainage system to handle it. We installed our WaterGuard® interior perimeter drain and a TripleSafe™ sump pump system with primary, secondary, and battery backup pumps. Today, that basement stays dry, even during power outages. See the before & after.

A dry basement is the start of a great one. Once your basement is protected, we can turn it into a home office, playroom, gym, or guest suite with products made for below-grade spaces. Unlike drywall and carpet, our materials won't rot or grow mold if moisture ever returns. In one Suffern basement, our crew removed old, failing tiles and installed ThermalDry® Elite plank flooring for a warm, waterproof floor that looks like hardwood.
Our basement finishing products include:
Every project starts with a free design consultation and a 3D rendering of your new basement. Learn more about our basement finishing system, or read our tips on hiring a basement contractor.
Bowing basement walls, wall cracks, and sloping floors are signs your foundation needs attention, and they get worse with each freeze-thaw cycle. We offer permanent foundation repair solutions for Suffern homes, including:
We serve homeowners throughout the Ramapo area and Rockland County, including Suffern, Hillburn, Sloatsburg, Airmont, Montebello, and Spring Valley, as well as nearby Monsey, Nanuet, Pearl River, and Tuxedo Park.
