A settling foundation can cause walls to shift, affecting the integrity of the home. Our Production team installed PowerBrace wall support to prevent further damage to this Selkirk home.
Before: The homeowner in Selkirk, NY, struggled with an outdated sump pump that couldn’t keep up during heavy rainstorms, leaving the basement vulnerable to water intrusion and potential flooding. The system lacked proper backup support and efficiency, causing concerns about long-term water management.
After: We upgraded their system with a state-of-the-art TripleSafe™ Sump Pump, featuring three pumps for optimal performance and a battery backup to ensure protection even during power outages. The new system provides reliable, efficient water removal, keeping the basement dry and giving the homeowner peace of mind, no matter the weather.
The heart of every waterproofing system is the sump pump. If the pump isn’t in good condition, then the effectiveness of the rest of the system diminishes greatly. Many old, dated pumps are unable to handle lots of water, have no failsafe in place, and are left uncovered, meaning dust, dirt, and other substances can get in and plug the pump—plus the smell isn’t the best. Our TripleSafe is a top of the line product that outshines every other sump system on the market. With its tri-pump system that automatically adjusts based on the amount of water coming in, the TripleSafe is very powerful. With its backup battery and IceGuard, it also is a product you can rely on even during freezing weather and power outages. And, as an added bonus, installation is easy because it can go right where the pre-existing sump is located.
This homeowner reached out to us after finding humidity had caused the insulation to get saturated and mold began to grow. After discussing with the homeowner, Jon designed a encapsulation system that dramatically reduced the humidity and provided a dehumidifying filtration system that prevented mold and reduced odors.
A customer from Athens, NY called looking for wall support in her basement. The walls were shifting from weather changes and ground movement. As a result, our team installed PowerBrace to improved the home's structural integrity.
