Before & After Photos

This property management company contacted Basement Systems of New York to see how we could help alleviate the water problem, that their tenants were dealing with. During heavy rainstorms, their backyard would flood, and water would flow into the basement, in between the foundation wall, and their sill plate. Upon our Design Specialist completing his consultation he realized that the issues they were having with water were caused due to the pitch of the backyard.

For us to alleviate the water problem at hand we had to install a curtain drain. In order to handle this, run off the drain was installed in an eight to sixteen-inch deep by one-foot wide trench. Then we filled the trench with gravel, then we, placed filter fabric along the top of it. Next, we placed our perforated pipe in the trench with more filter fabric and gravel. Finally, we ran our discharge line to daylight. By implementing this system, we were able to make sure that their backyard does not flood, as well that no water would penetrate their home or sill plate. Installing curtain drains are not a way to waterproof a home, but they do help mitigate surface water and are a different approach to help with a water problem.  

By implementing our system, we were able to remediate the water problem that they were having, prevent rotting of their sill plate, and more importantly, bring peace of mind back to everyone.

After our crews leveled the garage floor, they sealed the major cracks. This not only helps prevent water from seeping into the cracks again, but it's also a cosmetic improvement!

In addition to installing a two system waterproofing system to the basement and apartment, we did an exterior dig to install new footing drains & applied a waterproof coating to the walls with proper drainwall

Here you can see the nasty crawlspace before we worked in it, after you can see our SaniDry CX dehmuidfication unit as well as how clean the crawlspace is. We also did home support work in this particular crawlspace which you can not see from these pictures. 

Our Basement Systems team came to the rescue when flooding disrupted a families life. We installed and implemented multiple systems to prevent this from ever happening again.
