Ballston Lake, NY's Local Basement Waterproofing, Foundation & Crawl Space Repair Contractor

This homeowner’s foundation was experiencing bowing basement walls, so they called us to look at it and gauge how dire the situation was, along with what could be done to remedy the situation. One of our certified design specialists surveyed the entire basement, inspecting each wall and measuring how displaced the walls were. Once they had a plan drawn up, they then walked through everything with the homeowner, explaining what exactly was wrong and what a potential solution would look like. For this basement, the perfect solution was CarbonArmor.  

After having the baton passed to them from the design specialist, our installation team went in and marked the locations of where the CarbonArmor would be placed, ensuring that they are properly spaced out so the weight they would be supporting is evenly distributed. With the prep work completed, all that was left was to install the product! CarbonArmor is a fantastic solution to bowing walls because it is noninvasive, meaning the installation itself doesn’t cause any hassle, and afterwards you’re free to do whatever you’d like to your basement. With this type of foundation, the tension is going to be on the inside portion of the wall, which is what makes CarbonArmor the perfect solution. The force coming from the soil pushes on the foundation from the outside, so by having the CarbonArmor attached to the inside, it provides stable support for the wall, preventing any further bowing, displacement, and damage.

EverLast window installation can take time, but it’s well worth the wait. This job started out with a conversation between the homeowner and one of our certified design specialists. The homeowner had a pre-existing basement window, but wanted to get it replaced with a larger one—not a problem for us! The design specialist looked over the area—both inside and outside the house—measured the correct window size (double checking at every step) gave an estimate, then passed it off to our installation team.  

Once the custom-made windows were in, our team got to work clearing out an area in the yard for where the window and its RockWell and covering would be. A RockWell is a great product to have to keep the window protected against inclement weather and other acts of nature. With the area clear, the team removed the old window and cut out space for the new, larger one. Then, they installed the window, making sure it was a tight seal so no water or animals can get in (or heat can escape). After the window is sealed, the RockWell and its covering were attached. We then double-checked each product, ensuring that it’s properly installed and that there are no defects. Once completed, we cleaned up the mess we made, filling in the excavated dirt so grass can start growing back, and dusting away any other things we may have left around inside. And with that, this home now has an updated, beautiful window that not only adds a bit to the aesthetic of the house, but also provides it with a nice layer of protection from the elements.
