Albany Basement Waterproofing, Sump Pumps & Crawlspace Repair Contractors

Mr. "H" noticed the concrete slabs of his pool patio were uneven in several locations. Wanting to fix this issue, he contacted us right away to set up his free estimate with one of our design specialists.  Mark visited Mr. "H"s home and discussed our patented Poly Level System after doing a thorough inspection of his patio. Mark explained how it is common to experience concrete settlement on pool patios and decks. The soil surrounding the pool walls is only lightly compacted out of fear of causing damage to the pool walls. Overtime it begins to settle causing the slabs to sink down with it.

There are many advantages of our Poly Level System that make it the perfect solution to this common problem. The holes where the high-density polymers are injected are much smaller than other repair options. Poly Level is also lightweight and has a quick cure time; you could drive on it after 15 minutes! Poly Level is waterproof as well so you never have to worry about it washing out beneath the slabs.

Our foreman Michael and his crew came and fixed Mr. "H"s uneven slabs successfully with Poly Level. Now Mr. "H" can lay rest assured knowing that his pool patio is structurally safe with no tripping hazards and looks great as well!

Homeowners in Selkirk, NY were looking to eventually refinish their basement to have a workout area and recreation area; however, there was an obstacle in the way that they had to resolve first. Their current sump pump wasn't powerful enough to keep water out of their basement. With the pump burning out and water wreaking havoc, they needed to find an effective solution so that they may be able to refinish their basement in the future. 

Our patented TripleSafe sump pump system proved to be the ideal solution for these homeowners. Sporting 3 pumps and a liner to prevent silt and root blockages, the TripleSafe would prevent overworking of their sump system. One of the pumps is even a battery back-up should the power go out during a rainstorm. Homeowners can now look forward to their basement refinishing now that they have a dry basement!

As summer began to approach, a homeowner in Selkirk, NY was looking to spruce up their curb appeal. One of the items on their checklist was to repair their front porch. The concrete slab had been sinking over time in different areas causing it to be unlevel and crack. After seeing our advertisement in their local newspaper, the homeowner contacted us for a free estimate on our PolyLevel system.

PolyLevel was the ideal solution for this homeowner's porch patio as they could salvage the slab rather than pour and resurface a new one with hopes the problem wouldn't re-occur. The polymers injected into the slab are environmentally safe and waterproof meaning they can't be washed out beneath the concrete. When injected, the polymers expand and fill the space between the soil and the slab which raises it back to its original position. Now the homeowner can continue and plant flowers around their porch to have the curb appeal that they desired!

Our PowerBrace solution is ideal for stabilization of foundation walls. No outside excavation is required and the beams can be tightened to allow for straightening over time.

A homeowner in Altamont, NY had standing water beneath their basement that was causing the space to be damp and musty smelling. While researching a permanent solution they contacted Adirondack Basement Systems for a free estimate from one of our certified basement specialists. Bill Seabridge met with the homeowner to go over their concerns and questions while doing a thorough inspection of their basement. Based on what the customer wanted and what he found, he suggested CleanSpace vapor barrier for the walls and a SaniDry Sedona dehumdifier. CleanSpace was designed for crawlspaces and basements specifically. The inorganic durable material is mold resistant and prevents critters from gaining access. The SaniDry Sedona is our newest model of SaniDry dehuidifiers and is the most compact design we offer. It is energy star rated and highly efficient, removing up to 100 pints a day.

A homeowner in Berne, NY had a blocked foundation with structural issues. Hydrostatic pressure was causing the blocks to deteriorate and compromise the structural integrity of the home. They contacted Adirondack Basement Systems to receive a FREE estimate and figure out what solutions there were for repairing the foundation. Our Design Specialist, Bill Seabridge did a thorough inspection inside and outside of the home to decipher what damage had already happened and what might've caused it. He found a variety of cracks including stairstep cracks in the blocks and hairline cracks throughout the concrete slabs in both the garage and the basement. Some of the walls were showing signs of bowing and the overhang porch above the garage was sloping towards the center.

Bill sat down with the homeowners to discuss what he found and present the solutions he knew would be most ideal for their home. He suggested that we install push piers to help stabilize the foundation and solve settlement problems. Supportworks Push Piers are constructed with galvanized steel and can reach greater depths than any other repair option. They also help provide opportunity to lift the foundation back to its original position. The push piers were installed by being hydraulically driven through the soil until they reached bedrock or stable soil. This allows the weight of the home to be transferred onto the load-bearing soil. Once installed, they were able to lift the foundation back to its original position. Now that the foundation is stabilized, they will no longer have to worry about structural damage.
