Gansevoort, NY's Local Basement Waterproofing, Foundation & Crawl Space Repair Experts

At Adirondack Basement Systems, we had the opportunity to work with a homeowner in Gansevoort, NY, facing the all-too-common struggle of a wet basement. They were dealing with pooling water in a corner of the basement that frustratingly wouldn't flow into the sump pump. On top of that, they had an aging sump pump and were looking to add value and safety to their home with 3 new egress windows. After reaching out to our friendly Customer Care team, we had a System Design Specialist visit the home. They meticulously assessed the water problem and recommended a robust solution tailored to address all the homeowner’s concerns. The plan featured our WaterGuard interior drainage system designed to effectively capture wall and floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor, our TripleSafe Sump Pump that provides three levels of protection for their basement and peace of mind for the homeowner, IceGuard to prevent discharge line freezing, and CleanSpace wall membrane to keep walls dry and clean. Our skilled production team then went to work, installing these products with precision and care. They were able to direct any water into the new, more effective sump pump system, ensuring the space would stay dry. The implementation of our protective waterproofing measures and the introduction of efficiency through new egress windows moved the needle from a problematic waterlogged area to a dry, usable, and safe space in the home. The result? A bolstered home environment where concerns over a wet basement and outdated sump pump gave way to relief and satisfaction from the homeowner. Another standing testament to our mission to provide not just solutions but also a remarkable customer experience. Through understanding, planning, and executing the right solutions, we turned what could've been an ongoing battle against

Window installation is a careful process. Our design specialist used a critical eye to gauge the extent of the damage, measurements of the sill, and what type of window would be best for both waterproofing and aesthetic purposes. What was ultimately decided on was a larger egress window that would not only protect the basement, but also provide more sunlight and a cleaner look. The first step the crew took was clearing out room to work, both inside and outside the house. Working off the precise measurements taken by the design specialist, the installation team removed the old window and cut open a larger space in the wall to allow room for the new window. Next, they inserted the custom-ordered window into the opening, secured it in place and filled in any gaps between the window and the wall. Finally, the crew went outside and installed the window covering and filled in the dirt, making sure we cleaned up any mess they made. With that, the job was done and this home had a sleek, updated window, improving the quality of their basement!

Windows play a big role in a home; both on the main floors and the basement. This homeowner had a nicely finished basement, but they had an old, worn window that needed replacing. If left to deteriorate, basement windows can become a prime location for water to enter and for heat to escape, causing damage to the basement and the bank account. After meeting with one of our certified design specialists and going over the area, a plan for a replacement EverLast window was drawn up with the owner of the home. They also wanted a bigger window to allow for more light to get through and to aesthetically improve the space, which was no problem at all. Careful measurements were taken and a custom window was ordered. Once it arrived, our install team took their time to ensure the window was a perfect fit in the sill, not leaving room for any sort of opening. The EverLast window was sealed in place and then the team moved outside to create room for a RockWell system to protect the EverLast. The RockWell not only does a great job of keeping the window from being damaged, but it has key safety features that prevent anyone from accidentally falling in and getting hurt. And with that, the job was complete! No longer will windows be a weak point for this basement!
