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.

A homeowner in Kingston, NY contacted us to help them fix their home that was built back in 1870. One of the windows was partially underground and the wall it was on would let moisture in whenever it rained. The Basement Transformer crew installed our EverLast Window Inserts to fix this issue. These windows allow us to replace any leaky windows with a fixed sash that includes double-pane insulated glass, which also prevents large amounts of heat loss. Our EverLast windows will leave you feeling stress free because they will never rust since they’re made of reinforced vinyl, and do not require any additional upkeep.

Did you know that a drainage system can be installed inside a crawl space? That’s exactly what we did for this homeowner in Woodstock, NY. Their crawl space was damp and had visible signs of water damage all over the floor. Water was coming in all along the perimeter of the crawl space. To combat this issue, we placed our WaterGuard drainage system along the perimeter within this space. This system helps to collect any water that seeps into the area and then drains it into the sump pump to get directed out. Once it was completely installed, it blended in nice and neatly with the space. Now this crawl space is dry and safe thanks to our WaterGuard drainage system! Call us today if you see water inside your crawl space. We’re here to help you find a solution!

A homeowner located in Woodstock, NY started having serious concerns about their crawl space. Every time it heavily rained, the crawlspace would leak water everywhere. This homeowner also became worried about the air quality in their home. The crawl space was the culprit. It was creating a musty smell that was lingering upstairs. After meeting with one of our specialists, it was determined that this homeowner needed a complete makeover for their crawl space. 

Our team installed our CleanSpace encapsulation system to prevent water from coming in and damaging the area again. This system also improved the air quality of the house by sealing the air leaks and allowed us to eliminate the homeowner’s concern about the musty smell. We paired this system with our SmartSump pump system and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep the moisture out and the crawl space dry! 

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!  

In Ulster Park, NY there was a homeowner in need of our TripleSafe Sump Pump System and our IceGuard Discarge Line to help protect their basement from water damage and flooding. Our team knew these were the best products to help prevent this from happening. 

The TripleSafe Sump Pump features three lines of defense against all kinds of conditions, whether it be light or heavy rain. It is built with a 1/3 horsepower Zoeller cast-iron pump that can discharge up to 2,220 gallons of water as the first line of defense. The second line of defense is the ½ horsepower pump, which will turn on in the event the primary pump fails and can get rid of up to 3,900 additional gallons of water. The third line of defense is the most powerful, which is the UltraSump Battery Back-up System. This will take over if the first two pumps fail or during complete power failure, and is capable of discharging up to 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery. 

The IceGuard Discharge Line is another form of protection on top of this already impressive sump pump system. Our IceGuard attaches to the outside, where the discharge line exits the home. The slotted openings in the drainpipe still allow the water to escape if your main discharge line was to freeze or clog during the winter months. It prevents water from backing up into your home and causing a massive flood. The IceGuard is also compatible with all our sump pump products. 

When the job was completed, the homeowner knew that floods would not be a problem keeping them up at night. They could remain calm knowing these products would protect the basement against any floods. 

In Hurley, NY there was a homeowner who had visible signs of foundation damage written all over their walls. There were large stair-step cracks along their walls, with gaps in between the blocks where they met at the seams. The pressure that builds up in the soil surrounding the foundation can often push into the walls of a basement, causing them to crack. Luckily our expert team at The Basement Transformer knew how to help. We installed our PowerBrace Wall Repair System to combat the foundation issues this homeowner was having. This system consists of steel I-beams which are secured to the joists above your walls using steel brackets. This system has added benefits such as the fact that it can be adjusted in an attempt to reverse the damage and put the wall back into its original position. It also installs quickly and there is no exterior excavation needed. 

When the installation process was complete, the homeowner had a peace of mind knowing their walls were no longer in danger of collapsing or suffering from worse damage. 

A stairway leading to a basement in Wawarsing, NY was leaving it vulnerable to the possibility of flooding. Outer entryways can let unwanted water into the basement, but thankfully our company is equipped with the products to combat this issue. 

For this homeowner, we installed our trustworthy TrenchDrain system which resembles half of a basement drainpipe with a grated opening on top. Any water traveling down the stairs and passing through the door is collected via the TrenchDrain’s openings and redirected to your sump pump system. 

Our production crew also made sure to install this behind the doorway so that the drain would not freeze during the winter months. 

As an extra precaution we even included our TrenchLock drain inserts to block any unwanted ground air and gas from making their way inside this homeowner’s basement. They work by allowing water to go down without letting the air come up, by creating an airtight seal that sinks back into place once the water has left. 

After this job was done, this homeowner was able to relax knowing that their stairway could no longer allow water to flow into the basement. 

A homeowner in Ellenville, NY contacted us because they were having issues with water intrusion in their basement. They wanted to make sure their basement protected from the water coming in. Our specialist determined that our TripleSafe Sump Pump System and IceGuard Discharge Line System were exactly what this homeowner needed to solve their problems.

The TripleSafe Sump Pump System is a state-of-the-art system equipped to handle intense amounts of water intrusion. For everyday function, it has a 1/3 horsepower cast-iron Zoeller sump pump designed to discharge up to 2,220 gallons of water. The secondary sump pump is set at 1/2 horsepower and can discharge up to 3,900 additional gallons of water.

The IceGuard Discharge Line System was also installed to ensure that the sump pump kept running smoothly if the discharge line was to freeze during the winter or became clogged. The slotted openings allow the water to escape and flow away from the home, avoiding a backed-up sump pump and severe floods in the basement.

Once this job was done, the homeowner knew their basement was protected against flooding and that any water intrusion would be handled properly thanks to our products.  

A homeowner in New Platz, NY had water seeping through their porous concrete block walls. This was clear from the white efflorescence on different areas of the walls, which gets left behind after water evaporates and dissolves the minerals in the concrete. Our specialist knew that our WaterGuard System would be the best type of French drain for this homeowner’s issue. 

This patented and award-winning system sits above the foundation footing and out of the “mud zone” so it does not get clogged from dirt or debris. Its large drain openings and unique shape also help prevent it from becoming clogged. It even has service ports which provide easy access for any future maintenance. 

The wall flange that extends up the wall at 3/8” allows the system to collect any water that seeps through where it is then directed into your sump pump system. 

It installs easily and quickly and requires minimal invasion to the concrete slab. Once the whole system was in place, all the concrete that was jackhammered away was restored. The homeowner knew water would no longer intrude through the walls and into their basement thanks to our WaterGuard System. 

A homeowner in Accord, NY wanted their basement to be insulated so they gave us a call to see how we could help. Our specialist proposed installing our Basement to Beautiful Insulated Wall Panels. These panels have many benefits, one being that they are made of inorganic material, which means they can withstand the environment in a basement. Mold growth and rotting can not be supported either since these panels are wood, drywall, and fiberglass free! We use metal studs to install the Basement to Beautiful panels, and they leave two inches of insulation behind them, never compromising the thermal blanket on your basement walls. This is because the metal studs never touch your basement walls, so no heat transfer occurs. 

Unlike other panels, these are designed with our SilverGlo insulation which is created using a special graphite infusion process. The SilverGlo makes Basement to Beautiful panels 24% more energy efficient than comparable foam paneling that is on the market. The insulation these panels provide can help you save money when it comes to heating your home. 

If you ever want to finish your basement walls in the future, it can be done even after these panels are in place.

The Basement to Beautiful panels we offer truly are a great option when it comes to insulating your basement.

After these panels were installed, the homeowner knew that their basement was a healthier and more comfortable environment.

A homeowner located in Highland, NY needed a full waterproofing system installed in their basement. The homeowner was experiencing issues with water intrusion and wanted their basement to be protected from flooding. Their existing sump pumps that we did not install also needed to be taken out, and the holes they left behind in the ground needed to be filled in with concrete.

After inspecting the basement thoroughly, our specialist determined that this basement needed our WaterGuard System, TrenchDrain System, and TripleSafe Sump Pump System.

The WaterGuard System and the TrenchDrain System will work together to collect any water seeping into the basement and direct it to the sump pump system.

The WaterGuard System is able to collect the water that seeps through your walls thanks to the wall flange that extends up the basement wall at 3/8”. The TrenchDrain System has a grated opening that is designed to accept water from the floor as it passes over the opening. Both systems give a path for the water to go directly into the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System provides the ultimate protection against flooding for your basement. It features two cast iron Zoeller horsepower pumps and the UltraSump Battery Backup System, which all can pump out thousands of gallons of water from your home.

Once all the products were in place, the concrete that was removed was restored and this homeowner had a reliable and trustworthy waterproofing system in their basement. Now the basement would be a dry and healthy environment!

This homeowner in New Paltz, NY had water seepage coming through the basement walls. The concrete walls began to flake as a result. Searching for a solution to this problem, the homeowner contacted our team to see how we could help. Upon inspection, our specialist determined that we would need to install our CleanSpace Wall System and WaterGuard System to prevent water from seeping through the walls and making its way into the basement.  

Our CleanSpace Wall System is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that stops the humidity from leaking through the concrete walls. Unlike concrete, the CleanSpace Wall System will never flake away like this homeowner’s walls were already doing prior to us installing this. CleanSpace does not support mold growth either and contains built-in microbial protection known as UltraFresh! This wall system truly transformed the unfinished basement walls and brightened up the space as well. The CleanSpace Wall System will then help direct the water down into the WaterGuard System. This is our patented interior drainage system made to collect water that seeps through basement walls. It can do this thanks to the built-in wall flange that extends up the basement wall at 3/8”. It even features large drain openings and a unique shape that helps make it resistant to clogs. Once both products were installed, this homeowner no longer had to worry about water coming through the concrete walls and into the basement. 

A homeowner reached out to us because their crawl space was unstable. They wanted to know how we could help them solve this problem and prevent it from getting even worse. Our specialist went out to inspect the crawl space and determined that our PowerBrace Wall Repair System and SmartJack System were needed to restore the stability to this crawl space.

Our PowerBrace Wall Repair System can help stop any more damage from occurring and can potentially straighten the wall back into place. This homeowner had a crack in their wall located within the crawl space, which was a clear sign that it needed to be supported to prevent further deflection. This system consists of steel I-beams that are secured with steel brackets to the joists located above the wall.

Our SmartJack System consists of beams made of galvanized steel that can support loads up to 60,000 pounds or more! Unlike wooden beams, they will never rot and are resistant to corrosion. They can also be adjusted at any time should your home require it. SmartJacks are installed by attaching a steel support beam to the floor joists along with a solid base at the floor.

Once all these products were installed, the homeowner could relax knowing their crawl space was stabilized. Worrying about the structural integrity of the crawl space was now an issue of the past!

A homeowner in New Paltz, NY needed their basement to feel warmer and drier. After contacting us for a free estimate, we scheduled a time for our specialist to look at the basement and to see what could be done. Once the inspection was completed, our specialist proposed that our team install our Foamax Wall Insulation Panels. These panels are made with polyisocyanurate foam and feature a white foil finish on the front with a foil vapor barrier on the back. The white finish helps to brighten up the basement while the vapor barrier keeps the humidity under control. Foamax panels can help reduce condensation and help to make your basement feel warmer overall. By insulating your basement, moist air will be prevented from coming in contact with cold walls, which stops condensation from forming during the summertime. They also help keep the heat inside your home during the wintertime. As an added bonus, these wall panels do not have to be finished and can be left exposed as is. Once our team was done, not only did the basement walls brighten up the space, but it was also a much more comfortable environment! The homeowner could feel at ease knowing that their basement was taken care of and would feel much better overall.

A homeowner located in Kingston, NY needed our basement waterproofing services, so they gave our team a call. Their basement was suffering from water intrusion and the homeowner wanted to stop this problem and keep their basement dry. After conducting a thorough evaluation of the basement, our specialist proposed installing several of our trustworthy products. Our CleanSpace Wall System got installed on the walls and our CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed on the floor paired with our drainage matting. This was done to prevent water vapor from coming up through the floor or the walls. To help collect the water coming through the walls, we installed our interior drainage system known as WaterGuard. Finally, to protect the basement from flooding, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Together, all these products work alongside each other to help keep the basement dry.

The CleanSpace Wall System holds back water vapor and keeps it passing through your basement walls. It is strong enough to get installed on top of stone walls, such as the ones in this homeowner’s basement, because it’s extremely durable and resistant to tears. It even includes anti-microbial protection known as UltraFresh, which prevents mold or mildew from growing on top of the CleanSpace Wall System itself. 

The CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed on the floor. This 20-mil reinforced polymer liner acts as a vapor barrier and like the wall system, is also resistant to wear and tear. When paired with our drainage matting, the ultimate durability and longevity of the encapsulation system is achieved, and a permanent seal is formed on top of the floor. 

The WaterGuard System can collect any water coming through the walls due to its wall flange and will then drain it into the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System is equipped with three lines of defense against flooding with its two cast-iron Zoeller horsepower pumps and a battery backup system. All three of them can discharge thousands of gallons of water from your basement. 

When everything was installed and in place, this basement became a dry and healthy environment! 

A homeowner located in Bearsville, NY contacted us because their sump pump needed to be fixed. When our specialist got out to the home to further investigate the issue, he discovered that this homeowner had one of those sump pumps that was simply a pump inside of a hole in the ground. A system like this is not ideal since water can so easily escape due to the fact that the pump is not sitting enclosed, inside of a liner. Our specialist proposed an entirely different solution to the homeowner, our TripleSafe sump pump liner with a 1/3 horsepower cast-iron Zoeller pump on the inside. This pump has the ability to discharge up to 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an eight-foot head. In the future, if the homeowner decided they needed an additional pump to be added, this could be easily done since there is plenty of room inside the liner! We could even add the UltraSump Battery Backup System later to ensure that the sump pump continues to run smoothly in the event of a power outage or tripped circuit. 

In addition to a sump pump, the homeowner also wanted to put a vapor barrier on their basement walls, so we installed our CleanSpace Wall System. This system acts as a barrier and prevents water vapor from passing through the foundation walls and into the basement. It even features built-in anti-microbial protection, which means that no mold or mildew can grow on the CleanSpace Wall System. 

Once our crew was done installing these products, the homeowner felt much better and knew their basement would be protected from floods and water vapor! 

A homeowner in Lake Katrine, NY had two crawl spaces that needed to be encapsulated and a basement that needed to be protected from floods and humidity. In search of a solution, the homeowner reached out to our team here at The Basement Transformer to find out how we could help. Our specialist headed out to the home to inspect the crawl spaces and the basement to see what solutions our company could provide. He proposed that we install our CleanSpace Encapsulation System to seal the crawl spaces off from the earth, our TripleSafe Sump Pump System to protect the basement from floods, and the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control the humidity.

The CleanSpace Encapsulation System is a 20-mil thick liner that is made using several layers of plastics. These plastics have different types of flexibility and resistance to tears and punctures. It is put together using two layers of polyester cord reinforcement, making it extremely durable. Once installed, this helps to prevent water vapor from seeping into your crawl space and turns your crawl space into a dry and healthy environment!

The TripleSafe Sump Pump System and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier both got installed inside the basement. The TripleSafe Sump Pump is a state-of-the-art system that provides the ultimate protection against floods. It features two cast iron Zoeller horsepower pumps that can discharge thousands of gallons of water from your home. We also installed our UltraSump Battery Backup System along with it, which keeps the sump pump running smoothly in the event of a power outage or tripped circuit. On a fully charged battery and set at the highest level, it can discharge up to 11,500 gallons of water or more!

The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier would ensure that the homeowner had a dry and healthy basement. This super-efficient dehumidifier has capability to remove up to 100 pints of water from your air every day. It then takes that dry air and pushes it all around your basement, making it dry and taking away that damp feeling. We even made sure to connect the dehumidifier to the sump pump, that way any water that is collected from the air automatically drains into the sump pump to get taken out and away from the home. Once the job was completed, the homeowner was left with a dry basement and dry crawl spaces!

A homeowner located in Kingston, NY had been living in their white home with red shutters for 5 years. Their basement had been leaking since for a while, and the homeowner became concerned about possibility of mold growth and having a safe place to store their belongings. Water would leak through the walls whenever it rained hard. This was evident by the efflorescence left behind on the concrete block walls of the basement. There was also a small puddle of water on the floor when our transformation specialist headed out to inspect the home. This homeowner needed a solution to their problem, which is why they contacted our company. After inspecting the basement, our specialist proposed that we install our CleanSpace Wall System, DryTrak System, and our TripleSafe Sump Pump System paired with our IceGuard.

The CleanSpace Wall System is a waterproof vapor barrier which tackles the issue of the leaky walls by preventing water vapor from passing through the walls. The DryTrak System is an interior drainage system made for houses with monolithic foundations. The opening at the top allows the system to collect any water coming through the walls where it then gets directed into the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This sump pump system provides the ultimate protection with its two cast-iron Zoeller horsepower pumps and battery backup system. The IceGuard gets attached to the discharge line of the sump pump system to prevent floods due to a clogged or frozen line during the wintertime. With all our products in place, the homeowner felt confident and assured that their basement would be protected and fully waterproofed! 

A homeowner located in Bearsville, NY living in a lovely pale-yellow home, contacted us because their basement was suffering from occasional flooding. After heavy rains they would sometimes get up to an inch total of water. Our specialist Lukas headed out to the home to inspect the basement and meet with the homeowner. After inspecting the basement, Lukas proposed a full waterproofing solution for this homeowner so this issue would become a concern of the past. These products included our DryTrak System paired with our BrightWall panels, TripleSafe Sump Pump System with an IceGuard, and our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.

The DryTrak System is made specifically for homes with monolithic foundations. Intense and long hours of jackhammering a thick concrete slab are not necessary because this interior drainage system gets permanently epoxied to the floor. The small opening at the top allows it to collect the water seeping through the walls. Our team made sure to include BrightWall panels extending two feet up the wall behind the DryTrak System to ensure that any water leaking through would funnel directly into the DryTrak System. These waterproof; rigid plastic panels also act as vapor barrier and block water vapor and humidity from passing through the walls. The water then gets drained into the TripleSafe Sump Pump we installed, which is equipped with three lines of defense against flooding thanks to its extremely powerful cast-iron Zoeller horsepower pumps and battery backup system. As an extra measure of protection, we also installed the IceGuard to the outside of the discharge line to ensure that water had a way to escape in the event the discharge line freezes or gets clogged during the winter. The slotted openings in this device allow the water to escape from your home, so when the colder months come rolling in you do not have to fret.

Finally, we finished the job by installing our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to help control the moisture and humidity inside the basement. This extremely efficient dehumidifier removes up to 100 pints of water from the basement air per day and uses the same amount of energy as a 40-pint dehumidifier to do it.

Once the job was done this homeowner no longer had to worry about their concrete block wall basement filling with water after heavy rains. They finally had a trustworthy waterproofing system in place to keep the basement dry and healthy!

A homeowner in Kingston, NY had a horrible looking sump pump in their basement. It was simply a square shaped hole in the concrete slab with a single pump in it. These types of sump pumps are extremely unreliable and do not help to protect basements from flooding during times of rain or heavy storms. Water can easily escape these types of pumps, especially since they are not sealed in any way. Upon our specialists’ observations when visiting the home, it was apparent that water had plagued this basement given the fact that there was a chalky white substance known as efflorescence all over the concrete block walls. Not to mention there were several water stains as well.

After inspecting the basement, our specialist Stone proposed that we install our TripleSafe Sump Pump System to give this homeowner’s basement the protection against floods that it needed. Unlike the old, faulty system the homeowner had previously, our TripleSafe Safe Sump Pump has a large basin that gets securely installed into the concrete slab of your basement. Our crew worked carefully to jackhammer the concrete slab to install this basin successfully. Once the basin was in place, both pumps were placed inside the basin on stands to raise them off the bottom of the liner and to keep sediment and silt away from the pumps. Both pumps are extremely powerful and can discharge thousands of gallons of water from your basement. In the event of a tripped circuit or power failure, the battery backup pump that we also installed will keep the TripleSafe Sump Pump System running as planned. The IceGuard that we placed on the discharge line will also help to prevent flooding in the event the discharge line gets clogged or frozen during the winter.

These devices and features were totally absent from the basic hole-in-the-ground sump pump that the homeowner had previously. Now that the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed, the homeowner no longer had to worry about a major flood happening in their basement because they finally had a trustworthy system in place.

A homeowner living in a white house with several windows and a stone foundation was experiencing water issues inside her basement. Our specialist Stone went out to look at the basement, and upon his inspection he found clear signs of water intrusion. Water could be seen coming up through the concrete floor, as there was an area where the floor was wet or damp. Concrete floors are porous, and they can allow water to slowly infiltrate your basement due to their porous nature. To put an end to this, our specialist proposed a full basement waterproofing system to combat any water intrusion. This included our CleanSpace Wall System, our WaterGuard System, and our TripleSafe Sump Pump System.

Our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System over the stone foundation walls to prevent water vapor from being able to pass through and get into the basement. It is pliable enough to cover uneven surfaces such as the stone walls in this homeowner’s basement and does not support mildew or mold growth either. To help collect and drain out any water that was entering the basement, we installed our WaterGuard System paired with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. These state-of-the-art products work together to keep water out and away from your basement. The WaterGuard System is an interior perimeter drain that collects any water leaking through your walls using its built-in wall flange and then it directs that water straight into the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This patented sump pump system has three lines of defense to protect your basement from major floods. It even features our IceGuard on the discharge line to prevent floods in the event the line clogs or freezes during the winter. Once all the products were installed and the job was completed, the homeowner no longer had to worry about a wet basement. Our team turned it into a dry and healthy environment!
