Wappingers Falls, NY Reliable Basement Finishing & Remodeling

A homeowner in Wappingers Falls, NY had a basement that was already finished but in need of some repairs. We got him on the schedule for a free estimate, and our specialist headed out to the home to take a look at the situation. Once our specialist arrived, he found that the bathroom specifically had the worst issues. The pink fiberglass insulation in the ceiling had fallen apart and landed on the floor. The walls inside the bathroom had water stains all along the bottom and were just in bad shape overall. The ceiling tiles themselves had visible brown water stains, and there were specs of dirt and debris all over the bathroom floor. Our specialist came up with a way to repair the bathroom and address the humidity issues in the basement. The homeowner agreed to the proposal, and our crew got to work. The crew ripped out the old ceiling tiles and damaged insulation in the bathroom and painted the ceiling black to give it a sleek and clean appearance.  The bathroom walls were repaired using our EverLast Finished Wall Restoration System. This is a permanent solution for these walls which cannot be damaged by water, should any water issues ever happen again in the future. It features metal studs and an inorganic, mold resistant wall product that replaces the bottom portion of the wall. 

Finally, we addressed the humidity issues in the basement by installing our SaniDry XP Dehumidifier. It can remove up to 109 liters of water per day and dries up to 2,500 square feet in an 8-foot-high basement. 

Once our team was done, this homeowner was left with a bathroom that looked better than ever and a dry and healthy basement.

A homeowner in Wappingers Falls, NY had cracks in their basement floor and water would come in during heavy rains as a result. They contacted our team at the Basement Transformer to see how we could help solve this issue. Our specialist went out to the home to assess the situation and proposed that we install our WaterGuard System and our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System.

Both products work alongside each other to help keep water out of your basement.

The WaterGuard System is our patented interior drainage system that is designed to collect the water that is seeping through the basement walls. It gets installed below the concrete slab and above the foundation footing, resting in a bed of drainage stone. This way the system is away from what is known as the “mud zone”, so it does not become clogged with dirt or debris. The WaterGuard System has a built-in wall flange that extends up the basement wall at 3/8” and directs the water from the walls and into the sump pump we installed. The SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System features a cast-iron Zoeller 1/3 horsepower sump pump that can discharge 2,220 gallons of water out of your basement. Once both products were installed, the homeowner could experience peace of mind knowing that their basement would now be a dry and healthy environment.

We stepped in to help when this homeowner had humidity problems in their basement’s hallway. To keep the humidity low, our crew at The Basement Transformer installed our trusted SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Our dehumidifier ensured that this homeowner’s basement would be protected from an excessive amount of moisture, which could lead to mold problems in the future. Each dehumidifier comes with a written warranty upon installation and a motor that quickly & efficiently pumps dry air all throughout the space. For this homeowner, we designed it so that all the collected water is then pumped to the outside drainage system, and away from the basement. Our low maintenance dehumidifiers can make a big difference in a small space! Contact us today for more information about how you can get one installed in your basement to help keep it dry and safe.
