By David
You transformed our crawlspace into a very livable space. If I was 3 and a half feet tall it would be perfect. It is now dry and nice looking a 180° turn from where it started.Thank you.
By Charlein & Joe
Everyone who has seen the bathroom you installed has loved it. Great job and thank you. I would highly recommend your company to others. No regrets so far, but I am as of this writing, still waiting on the written warranties for the work you've concluded and the extended 3 year warranty for the installation of the quick john tank Rod promised he would get to me. In retrospect concerning the tank, I wish Jeff or Tim Van Kempen would have told me that installing the tank the way you did was not what that style tank was designed for. That being said everything is currently fine with the plumbing and I'm cautiously optimistic that I won't experience any problems with that for years to come. If that's not the case and further work needs to be done, I would not hesitate calling your company to do the repairs.God Bless you all at Adirondack Basement systems.Yours Truely,Joe and Charlein Cashara
By Susan
Even though we had a few hiccups during the process overall it went smoothly. We're very satisfied now & hope that continues if we have a problem.
By Louis
We had some problems with the initial installation. I would attribute this to a break down in communication. The installation was completed to our satisfaction and we would contact them again for future work.
By Duane
100% satisfied!
By David
We wish all the contractors were as easy to deal with and as professional. Thanks for giving us peace of mind about our yearly nightmare water problem.
By Mark
They were very knowledgeable and provided me with various options to choose from. They came on time and did good work.
By Karen
We had an excellent experience with your company from my first contact right through to completion of the water guard system, everyone was great. Tim has been very accommodating and we are still working with him to complete our basement room. The installation crew was top notch, professional, dedicated, friendly, even tollerated our four cats invading their work space and their truck when it was open. We were told four days for the project and it was completely finished in two days. Anytime I went to the basement to ask questions, they stopped work immediately and gave me their full attention. We hope to finish the rest of our project with you over the next year. Unfortunately it is cost prohibitive for us to complete it all at once but again, Tim has been very understanding and continues to work with us as we move forward in stages.
By Candace
If we ever need other water issues taken care of we are absolutely calling Adirondack again.Thank you. I was very happy to find a dry basement after the storm we had last night :)
By Janet
This has been a great experience! The job was just finished last week so the basement is still wet from residual water...but there has already been 2 major rain storms and no new water has appeared...and dry spots are slowly starting to appear! I can't wait to be able to turn on the dehumidifier in another few weeks! From beginning to end I have only good things to say about the work done...and the follow-up from the office and support staff. Thank-you Doug, Matt, Jennifer and Austin!
By Donna
Came across a broken pipe(don't know if it was broken before or during pump installation) was old drainage pipe. It was completely plugged and told not working anyway but I thought that maybe it should have been looked into more.
By D
I would definitely hire this company again if needed. Everyone was very nice and the job was done very professionally. When the job was done you would hardly know that they had been here. Very pleased-good investment. Have already recommended this company to others.
By Rick
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience working with your company. Everyone was top notch. Our salesman was fantastic as was the rest of your crew.We would highly recommend your company. The proof will be in the pudding in regards to water in the basement. Thanks again.
By Nancy
Doug is great, very knowledgeable and professional. I am pleased to know that your company will stand behind its work.
By Margaret
I was very impressed with Chris and Corey. They worked so hard, non stop, and did such a good job (of course time will tell) and had positive attitudes. They are an asset to your company.
By Matthew
Thank you so much for all of your hard work and giving me the piece of mind that i can live comfortably without worry.
By Rich
Thank you. Great experience and a fantastic job.
By Arnold
The information mailed to me prior to the visit by the sales person was very informative.
By Mark
This is what all home services and contractors should strive to achieve. A well oiled machine that produces the products and services as promised. Why is this so hard for others to accomplish? Thank you for the peace of mind.

Dennis and Jennifer B.

I was very satisfied with my job.  The crew was very polite and professional.  I chose the company because of the quality of the products and the materials used for the pumps. I had my basement done in November of 2009.  We are now in April 2010 and it is working as advertised.  I lost power for 12+ hours and the battery backup pump performed excellent!

Your representative was informative and best of all not pushy.  He is an excellent rep!    Your office staff was very courteous and helpful.  I can not express how impressed I was with the two guys who came and did my installation. I don't think I've ever had anyone do work who was so polite, conscientious, and friendly! I chose Adirondack Basement for your knowledge of problems and solutions.  And you were willing to work in a crawl space!

"Chris and his helper did an excellent job in installing our sump pump and sealing off the crawl space so we won't be dealing with a wet basement anymore.  Chris was very professional in his explanation of how the pump works and what to look out for.  They finished the project in a short period of time and brought me up to speed on anything that he felt we should be aware of.  They cleaned up so well after they finished the job that I hardly had to do anything further.  Great job by this crew from Basementy."
Valerie I.

Experience with call representative:  All who answered the phone were nothing but kind respectful and knowledgeable. Salesperson and sales presentation:  Matt always got back to me with answers helped me through the entire process with pre planning and with extreme professionalism and care Our installation crew:  They were so very professional polite respectful and considerate. I am very happy and impressed with how my questions were answered immediately and Corey made certain I understood every aspect of the installation, set up and went over in detail the pump. The cleanup process:  They left no dirt or dust they cleaned impeccably between work days which meant a lot! What made you choose our company (Why did you choose us over the competition?): At first it was services available through advertising, but once I had the home visit and spoke to him about plans I was so impressed and looking forward to having the basement finished something I wanted to do for years  
Lori & Richard T.

"Anytime we call everyone is pleasant and all calls are returned. Setting up an appointment time that fit our schedule was easy to do.  Ron Patterson was on time, knowledgeable, personable and answered all our questions.  My sister had your services installed a few years ago and was so impressed with your business that we also had a system installed. My girlfriend was having issues with her sump pump and water so I suggested she give you a call. She is now one of your customers. I tell anyone who will listen about your business."

    Old Crawlspace Overhaul in Denver, NY

    This customer was dealing with a number of issues with their crawlspace that, unfortunately, naturally come with having the older stone brick foundation model. With significant flooding, cracking walls, and a dipping, crumbling ceiling, there was no other choice but to take measures to repair and prevent the damage from getting worse. What ended up being mapped out as the proper course of action was a complete overhaul of the crawlspace, addressing each problem head on.  

    Starting with the water, once the area was cleared away and dried, our installation team went in and set up a well-rounded system to combat any future flooding. The big piece to this puzzle is the TripleSafe Sump System equipped with all the proper drainage and protection from the elements. The TripleSafe is the go-to sump pump when it comes to getting the water out and keeping it away for good. And with additions like the IceGuardWaterWatch Alarm, and countless other specs, this product is strong, smart, and safe. To complete the waterproofing system, CleanSpace and drainage matting were installed to provide moisture protection. 

    As for the structural concerns, the big player on this front were the SmartJacks installed to take a good amount of the weight off the beams that were in place and give a boost to the foundation. To assist the walls and repair the cracks, CarbonArmor—a product comprised of material 10 times as strong as steel and flexible enough to mold to the wallwas used to reinforce the walls. And just to be safe, on top of all these products, an EverLast door and a Sanidry Sedona were added to keep the humidity to a minimum and the water yet another difficult obstacle to hurdle. All these products combine to transform this crawlspace into one that was on the ropes to one that is ready for anything Mother Nature decides to throw at it.

    Basement to Beautiful Installation in Richmondville, NY

    These two photos showcase the difference that our Basement to Beautiful (B2B) product can make on a basement.  This is a very unique wall paneling system that creates a vapor barrier, holding back any moisture from passing through the porous concrete walls. The B2B panels are made with a 2 ½” graphite-infused SilverGlo Insulation and a lightweight metal stud system that is highly durable. The installation process is quick, efficient, and is ready to accept wall paneling, prepping your basement for any potential finishing you may desire. Also, it can also be fully integrated with any of our basement systems, which is exactly what this homeowner did. They purchased TripleSafe Sump System, which is a powerful product that can handle large amounts of water in case of bad flooding, but with all the other products they have installed—including the Basement to Beautiful, moisture will hardly have a chance of getting in. Any potential water from the walls will be redirected by the B2B directly into the sump pump and sent away from the house. Basement to Beautiful is a fantastic product for anyone looking to add a moisture barrier or finish their basement.

    Old Basement Waterproofing in Maplecrest, NY

    This customer had purchased the property a little over a year prior to giving us a call to look at their crawlspace. The ground was more or less entirely dirt, which meant moisture had no problem getting in and disrupting the house. One of our design specialists met with the homeowner and inspected the area to determine some possible solutions. After getting a good feel for the space and what could be done to combat the moisture, we demoed the project for the homeowner, and they liked what they saw. The first big step for waterproofing this crawlspace was to install CleanSpace along the ground and walls to create a protective barrier from any invading water. Next, a SaniDry Sedona was put in to keep the humidity as low as possible. Installation of this product is easy due to the small size of the dehumidifier, but make no mistake; the SaniDry Sedona is powerful and effective against moisture in the air. With these two products working to protect the crawlspace, water problems won’t be a worry for this homeowner.

And even if there’s a bunch of things in the way, CleanSpace can still be installed without a problem! This 4-layer polyethylene vapor barrier is the perfect choice to keep moisture to a minimum in your home!
