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 IceGuard, WaterWatch 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 wall—was 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.
