This Delmar, NY homeowner had old rusty windows in the basement that was causing poor lighting, drafts, and water entering the basement. The homeowner wanted to upgrade his windows and decided to call Adirondack Basement Systems. On the day of the free estimate, Zach arrived at the home to inspect the basement windows. He concluded that the water seepage was caused from the old uninsulated windows. He recommended our EverLast Windows as an efficient replacement. These windows are energy-efficient, have a double-paned design, have a vinyl casing that will never corrode and has easy sliding windows that can be removed for cleaning. With the new windows properly installed, there would not be a worry for a draft or water. This is exactly the type of windows this homeowner wanted and decided to move forward with the project. On the day of install, Tim and his install crew arrived at the home to replace the old insufficient windows with our  EverLast windows. Once replaced, the entire basement had so much more light. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and can now enjoy a dry and bright basement! 

Basements with multiple rooms can be a bit more complicated to waterproof, but not a problem for us! The estimate process remained the same, the design specialist surveyed each room and every corner, gauging how serious the water troubles were, while finding the entry points in the process. Once they completed their walkthrough, they drafted a plan and presented it to the homeowner for approval. Afterwards, the project was handed off to the installation team. The installation team began by removing the bottom of the walls to make room for the WaterGuard. The best way to think about WaterGuard is like an indoor gutter system. It rests where the walls meet the floor, collecting water as it comes in and directing it to the sump pump. In the case of this basement, there were a few areas where things were in the way, preventing the team from getting at the walls, so in those instances, they installed TrenchDrain. TrenchDrain is WaterGuard, but for the open floor. It picks up where WaterGuard leaves off, going around the objects in the way and then meeting back up with WaterGuard on the other side. The entire track connected through all the rooms and led to the SinglePack sump pump. Prior to our installation, the basement did have a sump pit, but it was basically just a hole in the ground. The SinglePack was a significant upgrade and tied a lovely bow on the waterproofing system. With all these products working in tandem, this home now has great protection from the weather!

Basement windows play different roles depending on the purpose of the space, but the bottom line is they are important to every home. This homeowner had a finished basement that they wanted to feature more natural light while still being protected from all nature may throw at it. One of our certified design specialists surveyed the space and conversed with the homeowner to collectively come up with the perfect placement for a new window that is pretty, practical, and protective. They marked off the spot where the window would go with tape at properly measured intervals. A custom window was then ordered, matching the dimensions taken at the appointment. When the window arrived, the installation team got to work on the inside and outside of the house, clearing out area in the ground and wall to allow room to work and for the window well. The window was then installed, not allowing even the smallest gap between the pane and the wall. With the window secured, the well was installed with a protective covering to keep water, animals, and people from falling in. The team then filled in the ground they removed and double-checked their work to ensure that there were no gaps and everything was properly cleaned. And that was that! This home’s basement got an aesthetically pleasing upgrade that everyone can be proud of.

Our customer in Delmar, NY, called us with concerns of water leaking into her basement after heavy rainstorms. Our Design Specialist Tyler Dahlin went to check out the home, and see what was going on. He proposed a long-term waterproofing solution, starting with the WaterGuard drainage system. This system, which is hidden, catches any water leaks, whether it is coming from the floor, or through the wall. The water is then pumped out of the house through our Exterior Discharge Line, which is protected by our IceGuard to prevent the line from freezing. 

Our next step for this basement was installing our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This system keeps your basement dry with three levels of protection. The first pump within the system is set at the lowest level, which is made for normal use. The second pump is higher up, used in case the first pump fails, or the level of water goes above the first pump. The third pump, which is connected to our UltraSump battery, is used in case of a power outage. Our system gives you peace of mind that, even if there is a long power outage, your basement still won't flood! We also included our WaterWatch alarm system, so that the homeowner is aware that something is wrong. The alarm is inserted down into the sump liner and rest on top of the cover. It will sound off if the water rises above the pumps. This can usually happen if there is sediment, or a large object blocking the port. This measure ensures that your basement will be protected.

Our customer was so excited to be able to use her basement for storage again, and not worry about her items being wet. If you have a similar issue, feel free to contact us today for a free estimate!

These concrete block walls of this basement were crumbling, so the owner came to us for a solution. We installed our Power Bracing System, which is a steel I-beam that is braced against the foundation wall and uses the concrete floor and the floor joist to stabilize the wall. Two concrete anchors are used to hold the brace in place against the bottom of the foundation wall. Essentially, the power braces permanently stabilize your home's foundation walls. We also used CleanSpace over the grout on the lower portion of the wall.
