When the "B" family called Adirondack Basement Systems they were concerned about the slab under their detached garage sinking. After doing an internet search for structural repair they found our website and gave us a call. We were able to send Jon Roz out to inspect the property. Jon certified in structural repairs was able to propose a proven solution with Foundation Support Works patented Push Pier System. This system is exclusively from Foundation Supportworks, Inc. and permanently stabilizes your home's foundation and in many cases can lift your home back to level. Rugged steel tube sections are hydraulically driven through steel foundation brackets to reach the depths of competent load-bearing strata. The weight of your home is then transferred from the original, unstable soils, through the piers, to the competent soil or bedrock.
The "B" family can now rest assure that the Foundation Supportworks Push Pier System will immediately stabilize their settling foundation and will permanently protect their home against any further movement. Push piers come with a 25-year warranty against manufacturing defects and a performance warranty from Adirondack Basement Systems.
New homeowners had purchased a home in Lake Luzerne, NY that had a large vertical crack in the basement wall and was leaking water. Previous homeowners attempted to fix the crack using hydrol cement. This method proved to fail and the new homeowners were looking for a permanent solution. They wanted to fix it the correct way and once, so they contacted Adirondack Basement Systems for a free estimate.
One of our highly trained waterproofing specialists visited the home and recommended FlexiSpan to the homeowners as a permanent fix. FlexiSpan crack repairs are done by sealing the crack with a high-viscosity polyurethane polymer, topping it with an extra layer of drainage and then sealing it with a polyurethane sealant. They now no longer have to worry about the crack leaking again!
This basement wall had steadily began bowing outward over the last several years despite being built 30 years ago. Cause for alarm, the homeowner cut down a tree next to the home thinking its roots were the root of the cause. Unfortunately, the problem persisted and the homeowner knew that they had to have the wall repaired to protect the structural integrity of their home. So they contacted Adirondack Basement Systems for their free estimate and the ball started rolling.
After meeting with one of our structural specialists, he knew our product called PowerBrace would be the ideal solution for them. Designed specifically to correct and support a bowing wall, PowerBrace support beams can be tightened over time and require no outside excavation! They now no longer need to worry about their foundation bowing any further and causing damage to their home.
Encapsulating crawl spaces makes a home a healthier place to live and breathe. Up to 50% of the air you breathe comes up from your crawl space. Encapsulation can eliminate old, musty odors, and even prevent mold and mildew issues from arrising, keep pests away, and increases energy efficiency. This happy customer came to us wanting a sump pump and crawl space encapsulation. We used CleanSpace, which is a 20ml plastic sheet material vapor barrier, and installed a sump system. In addition to preventing moisture, outside air and pests from entering your crawl space, CleanSpace's bright white color completely transforms your crawlspace from a dusty, smelly space into a cleaner, more breatheable area.
While crawlspaces may not be the most used part of the home, they play a vital role in the health of the house. If the crawlspace is in rough shape it will affect the rest of your home. This crawlspace’s primary issue was moisture, so our Design Specialist went in to look around and see what potential solutions existed. The plan that they drew up and was agreed upon by the homeowner consisted of an upgrade to its drainage system and some added protection against moisture.
First, our team cleared out some debris that was in the way. Then, a SmartDrain and drainage matting was placed to prevent any intruding water from gathering in the crawlspace and divert it out of the house. Then, CleanSpace was spread along the walls and ground to act as a moisture barrier. Finally, to keep the humidity to a minimum and help improve the air quality not only in the crawlspace, but the entire house as well, we installed a SaniDry Sedona to get the job done.
Crawl spaces can be tough to maneuver sometimes, but they’re vitally important to the health of the house, so giving them the proper care and attention is important. If moisture gets into the crawl space, then that can mean trouble for the air quality and potentially the integrity of the house. This homeowner had issues with water and were looking to have a sump pump installed and for their crawl space to be encapsulated, so they called us in to take a look around and see if that was the best course of action. After getting a firsthand look at the space, our design specialist agreed with the plan with some minor tweaks after meeting with the customer, because at the end of the day, it’s about what they want done; we’re just here to help in any way we can.
First, a SmartSump was installed with some additional products such as an IceGuard and a LawnScape Outlet to help it perform at its highest potential, even in the event of cold weather or a power outage. We take care to measure a proper distance based on the layout of the backyard to gauge where the outlet should be placed so it doesn’t send the water right back into the crawl space.
After the sump pump system was installed, we moved on to insulation, which wasn’t an original concern, but after working with the design specialist the homeowner decided it would be beneficial to the home by keeping heat in, but also by acting as a vapor barrier, keeping moisture and humidity out. The product that was decided on was SilverGlo Wall Insulation and it works great when paired with our CleanSpace system; a very popular and effective vapor barrier that is spread along the walls and floor of the crawl space, giving moisture yet another hurdle to face if it were to try getting into the home. With all these products on the customer’s side, water doesn’t stand a chance of getting in!
This basement was having issues with water seeping in from the walls and ground, leading to small pools forming around the area. After meeting with one of our Design Specialists and walking through the basement with them, the homeowner decided upon one of our most common, effective waterproofing methods. The two primary products used in this job were WaterGuards and sump pumps.
The process started by mapping out where the WaterGuards would be installed and the optimal location for the two sump pumps. WaterGuards run along the joists where the wall meets the floor so they can collect any seeping water coming from either direction and redirect it to the drainage system, so in this case it would go to one of the sump pumps. To install WaterGuards we had to take apart the bottom of the wall and carve out a bit of the floor to provide the proper space needed to fit the product. Once the system was laid down properly and secured, we covered up the gaps and holes we made.
There was already a drainage system in place, so one of the sump pumps could be easily installed into this pre-existing location, which made things easier. Another sump pump was needed, however, to manage the large space and to keep a single pump from being overwhelmed, so we had to create another spot for a pump and hook it up to the drainage system. Two different types of pumps were installed in the end—an UltraSump and a Single Pack—both of which are highly effective and capable of keeping water out of the basement. And with the WaterGuards system’s assistance in collecting invading moisture, this home won’t have to worry about pooling water any more.
No two basements are alike, which means no two jobs are the same, as well. However, when it comes to a complete waterproofing system, the same few products are typically involved because they’re effective and work great together. This project started off like any other, with lots of measurements and planning. A full-fledged diagram of the basement was drawn up by a design specialist so everything is accounted for and the installation team knows exactly what to do. They took the plan and got to work with the proper products. First, they removed the very bottom portion of the wall where it meets the floor to make room for the WaterGuard. Similarly, they dug out a path for the TrenchDrain along portions of the concrete floor. Both these products were then installed and filled in with new concrete and the wall was repatched. Their job is to collect incoming water and direct it to the sump pump, which this home already had, but we upgraded it with a TripleSafe system that is top of the line and more than capable of handling high levels of water. With that, the waterproofing system was complete and this basement no longer has to feel the constant threat of water over its shoulders!
This foundation support job had two goals: supporting the bowing basement walls and providing a boost to sagging floors. The first step we took was to measure the displacement of both the walls and the ceiling of the basement. The process for this involves taking careful measurements and using lasers to visualize the displacement. Next, we ordered PowerBraces and SmartJacks of the proper height for this specific basement to ensure a tight fit that will effectively support the foundation. The original supports were nothing but cheap wooden beams, so our products were by far an upgrade. PowerBraces are responsible for correcting the bowing walls while the SmartJacks are in charge of lifting the floors above and putting a stop to their bounciness. Installation of both these products isn't cumbersome or a nuisance. PowerBraces easily attach right to the inside of the walls, requiring no outside excavation. What made this job a bit interesting, however, is that there was a lip in front of the wall. Thankfully, this didn’t pose a problem for the PowerBraces, which hug the wall from floor to ceiling, providing ample support and correction despite the lip. The SmartJacks, meanwhile, were spread evenly along the middle of the basement to give equal support throughout to the floor. The great thing about both of these products is that not only do they stop the damage from getting worse, they also have the ability to be tightened over time to return the walls and floors to their original position, making both PowerBrace and SmartJacks an all-around fantastic solution to foundation issues your home may be facing.
This job story showcases two products, one in the waterproofing sector, and one in foundation. It also highlights how these two products, PowerBraces and CleanSpace, are noninvasive and exceptionally compatible.
Our design specialist took care to survey the basement both for water and foundation issues, making sure that nothing was overlooked in the process. After the end of the inspection, they drew up a plan that would handle the moisture problems while also providing support to the bowing walls, then presented it to the homeowner. The solution? A waterproofing system and PowerBraces.
The first step in the installation process was to handle the moisture problem. Our team created a well-rounded system that works off one another to curb the invading water. Products included in this were CleanSpace, DryTrak, a SinglePack sump pump and more! Since CleanSpace is a focal point in the photos, let’s focus on that product! CleanSpace is a vapor barrier made up of a 4-layer Polyethylene composition which means it’s strong and durable, giving this basement lasting protection for years to come! CleanSpace keeps any moisture seeping in from the outside soil from getting into the basement and pooling, which ultimately leads to significant damage. The vapor barrier then redirects the water into the DryTrak which then transports it to the SinglePack where it is pumped out and away from the home. CleanSpace is super easy to install and contours to any shape or size wall—and is compatible with any other products, like the PowerBraces you see in these photos!
PoweBraces are a great product to help correct bowing or buckling basement walls. These supports attach directly to the walls without any need for outside excavation or any other intrusive installation tactics. PowerBraces not only keep the walls from bowing any further, but also can correct them back to their original position, thanks to their ability to be tightened. All in all, these products will help defend this home from serious harm on both the water and foundation front!
This job story displays a combination of waterproofing and a touch of foundation support. The two waterproofing products installed were WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump pump. On the foundation side of things, PowerBraces are under the spotlight. Installation started with the WaterGuard since that required the removal of small portions of the basement walls and the floor underneath. WaterGuard was installed where the two meet. Next, the TripleSafe was installed in the ground then hooked up to the WaterGuard and EDC pipes. The way this system works is any incoming moisture from outside the home gets directed into the WaterGuard, collected, and sent to the TripleSafe. From there, the TripleSafe pumps the water, even the largest amounts, out through the EDC and to the LawnScape outlet situated a proper distance away from the home so that the water doesn’t come flowing right back in. Finally, it was time for the foundation support portion of the job. The walls of the basement were bowing slightly, based on the measurements taken by an Adirondack Basement Systems design specialist. The displacement wasn’t too severe, so PowerBraces were the perfect choice. PowerBraces were custom-ordered and fitted to the floor and ceiling, right against the walls, taking the load of the foundation off the pre-existing walls. Over time, during annual maintenances, our service technicians will tighten the PowerBraces to help slowly return the walls to their original position, avoiding further damage if this was done suddenly. As a small touch on top, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was placed in the basement to help regulate the humidity.
This homeowner had an old, flimsy basement window and covering that was in need of replacement. One of our certified design specialists went out and took careful measurements of the window, inside and outside the home. When it comes to windows, precision is incredibly important. If the measurements are off in any way, then the window either won’t fit or will be too small and gaps will allow water to enter and heat to escape. Once everything was measured and double checked, a custom-made window was ordered and brought in by the installation team. After digging out around the old window to allow room to work and removing said window, they installed the new one and filled in even the tiniest openings between it and the basement wall. Then, the brand new covering was installed and the team filled in the dirt they removed, along with cleaning up any other mess they made. With this new window, the basement gets a spruced up look and better protection from the elements.
