Before & After

This homeowner had some sizable cracks in their basement walls that leaked water from the outside. Luckily, the fix to this is simple, noninvasive, and clean-looking. While the installation process looks like a one-step job, it actually involves three closely-related steps. The first is a flexible sealant that goes across the entire length of the crack. Then, a strip of a porous, flexible foam is installed over the crack. Finally, an impermeable membrane is attached to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. The FlexiSpan works in all conditions and is not affected by any sort of pressure or movement with the walls. It also won’t leak or reopen like mortar-based repairs, making it a strong, reliable solution to any leaking basement cracks.
This Pattersonville basement was always wet, so we installed a CleanSpace footer to combat the source of the problem.
Here’s a great look at how our CleanSpace can transform a wet, musty crawl space. Not only do the walls and floor look sleeker, but they’re highly effective against moisture and protecting the home from damage. CleanSpace acts as a vapor barrier that keeps water at bay and prevents it from pooling in the crawl space. Its 7-layer, polyethylene composition makes it super durable and resistant to moisture. It has a 25 year warranty, giving the homeowner peace of mind for a long time. If you’re looking to protect your basement or crawl space from invading moisture, check out our CleanSpace vapor barrier!
This pair of photos highlights the difference our CleanSpace and WaterGuard products can have on a basement. Both of these products do an excellent job at transforming a basement from a gathering place for water to a dry, protected area. The primary job of both products is to gather seeping water and direct it away from the basement to a sump pump where it is sent out of the home. Call today to see how these products and more can improve the quality of your basement!
Sump pumps are a vital part of any waterproofing system. If your home has an old, run-down pump or none at all, then infiltrating water is most likely a common occurrence. Here at Adirondack Basement Systems, we offer a number of different pumps to provide relief to your basement. Installation is easy and they can even go right where the old pump was. Take a look at the difference in quality between one of our pumps and a dated sump pit!
