We then installed SilverGlo insulation on the crawlspace walls to improve energy efficiency, and to help reflect heat back into the space. Following this, we install the CleanSpace vapor barrier system over the floor and walls to prevent any moisture intrusion. This system creates a clean, dry, and bright environment in the crawlspace, turning it into a usable and healthy space.

A homeowner in Willow, New York noticed their basement walls were bowing inward, concerned about the structural integrity of their home. Worried about potential collapse, and further damage, they reached out to us for a solution. Our appointment center scheduled an inspection, and we sent one of our experience specialist to assess the situation. Upon inspection, our specialist confirmed that the foundation walls were bowing inward due to the external soil pressure, which had compromised the stability of the structure. To address the issue our specialist recommended they have our CarbonArmor wall system installed to provide stability and strength to the once failing wall. The CarbonArmor system is made up of strong carbon fibers that are bond to the foundation walls with epoxy. This system is designed to counteract the external pressure, which is causing the walls to bow inward, the system will prevent the walls from moving or collapsing. This system is installed by our crew coming in and reviewing the plans our specialists created to properly repair this failing wall. First our crew prepped the wall for our CarbonArmor system by scraffingizing the walls and making them nice and smooth to ensure proper adhesion. Next they applied a layer of epoxy over the area they just scraffized and then applied the CarbonArmor strapped to the wall. Once the epoxy dries this wall is immediately stabile and no longer at risk of failure. After the installation our production crew reviewed the finished job with the homeowner and they were happy to know that their foundation wall's were secure and stabile again. 

Recently at The Basement Transformer, we embarked on a mission to transform a home in Accord, NY, which faced a familiar nemesis many homeowners dread – a musty smell emanating from the crawl space. The homeowner reached out to us, plagued by the persistent odor that made their living space less welcoming. The journey began with our Appointment Center team setting the stage by scheduling a comprehensive home inspection.

A Transformation Specialist from our vibrant Sales Team then visited the home to diagnose the culprit behind this unsettling ambiance. The verdict was clear; moisture in the crawl space was the guilty party, creating an ideal environment for mold and mildew that tainted the air. Our solution to exorcise this unwanted guest involved a multi-pronged approach tailored to ensure a lasting resolution.

We introduced the SaniDry Sedona, a top-of-the-line dehumidifier, to aggressively tackle the humidity, drawing it out to prevent any further mold growth. Alongside, the CleanSpace liner was deployed as a barrier to ward off Earth's moisture from seeping in. Our champions, the TripleSafe Sump Pump, and IceGuard system, guaranteed protection against water intrusion. This dynamic duo ensures peace of mind during heavy rains or snow melts, pumping out intruding water and guarding against potential blockages. Delivered eloquently by our diligent production team, comprising a foreman and skilled installers, we promptly reversed the damp horrors of the crawl space into a dry, crisp area.

Throughout, clean-up and respect for the homeowner’s property were paramount, leaving no trace but the readiness to brave future storms. The outcome? A restored sense of comfort and a homeowner who could finally breathe a sigh (literally and metaphorically) of relief in their home.

This homeowner in Shokan, NY needed a LawnScape Outlet and IceGuard Discharge Line System installed after we provided them with a new sump pump system for their basement. To make sure the basement remained dry and flood proof – we used these products to help put the finishing touches on this waterproofing job. 

The LawnScape Outlet is connected to your downspout and redirects water away from your home’s foundation, while camouflaging the pipe at the very end. This can help your gutters to drain properly and avoid the possibility of a leaky basement due to the overflow of water from a clogged gutter. 

The IceGuard Discharge Line System was installed to prevent any flooding or issues during the winter months in case the main discharge line for the sump pump were to freeze, and water couldn’t escape.  

The openings on the IceGuard allow for an alternative route for the water to escape, making sure water is still transported out of the home. 

These two products provided the homeowner with ease knowing that there were added layers of protection in place to prevent floods and keep the basement dry. Contact us today for a free estimate if you have problems with your basement. We’re here to help! 

This homeowner in Katrine, NY wanted to make sure water could not get into their basement through the garage door and flood the surrounding area. 

To prevent this from happening, our team installed our TrenchDrain Grated Drain Pipe along with our TrenchLock Drain Inserts. The TrenchDrain is designed to collect the incoming water from the floor and funnels it back into your sump pump, to then be taken out of your basement. It is installed on the inside of the door as an added layer of protection against freezing during the wintertime. 

Our TrenchLock Drain inserts were also included to prevent any unwanted ground air or harmful gases from entering this homeowner’s basement. The TrenchLock system allows water to drain out, without air being able to enter because of the specially designed balls that fit over the drainage holes. When water enters, they float up and then back down again as the water leaves. 

Radon, which is a naturally occurring radioactive gas usually found in the ground, is not able to get inside your home with this system in place.

When our team was finished, this homeowner could finally feel at ease knowing their basement was protected against flooding and any harmful radon. 

A homeowner’s basement in Wallkill, NY was experiencing issues with water pooling onto the floor. The person was unsure of where exactly the water was coming from. The Basement Transformer was called and asked to help find a solution to the problem. To keep the water out of this basement, our crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System and IceGuard Discharge Line System.

The team worked hard, jackhammering away at a thick slab of concrete in the corner of the basement to make room for the TripleSafe Sump Pump.

To prepare for the IceGuard discharge line, a crew member carefully dug out the grass in small sections so we could run the line outside & away from the home and then placed the grass back where we found it.

The TripleSafe Sump Pump is a state-of-the-art product because it comes with three levels of protection against flooding. It has two horsepower cast-iron sump pumps and a battery-backup system. If the primary pump fails, the more powerful, secondary pump will turn on. If the secondary pump fails, that’s when the most powerful battery-backup system will come into play. All three pumps are capable of discharging thousands of gallons of water.

The IceGuard ensures that water will still be pumped out of your home even if the main discharge line gets clogged or freezes during the winter. It gives water another route to leave the basement instead of backing up into the basement, preventing what would be a major flood and nightmare.

With these products installed, the water that once pooled into the basement now had no way to stay!
