Reliable Basement, Crawl Space & Foundation Repair Experts serving Columbia County, NY

A homeowner in Chatham, NY contacted Adirondack Basement Systems about issues they had with the crawlspace beneath their home. During the springtime the crawlspace would become very wet and musty smelling. These issues effected the entire home so they were looking for a permanent solution. We sent one of our Certified Basement Specialists out to the home to do a thorough inspection and provide an estimate. Right away they knew that this crawlspace would benefit greatly by having CleanSpace vapor barrier installed along the walls and the floor. CleanSpace is waterproof and mold resistant, designed specifically for crawlspace environments. With this barrier installed the homeowner will have a dry crawlspace with less odors, which in turn will make the air in their home healthier.

This customer in Austerlitz contacted us with worries that his basement walls were cracking and bowing. Our Design Specialist, Jon Roz, went out to the home to investigate. He proposed the PowerBrace. 

The PowerBrace is our patented wall repair system that is used to stabilize failing basement walls. This product also allows for the potential to straighten the walls over a period of time. This was perfect for this project because the PowerBrace doesn't require outside excavation, and it can be tightened to allow for the wall to improve over time! It offers immediate, and long-term results.

Now, our customer has a foundation that is stabilized and safe. If you notice cracked or bowing walls in your home, call us today to set up a free estimate. 

This homeowner gave us a call after noticing consistent leaks in their basement and wanted them addressed before the problem got out of hand. After receiving an inspection from one of our certified design specialists and discussing matters with them, the homeowner decided to go through with a simple, yet effective waterproofing job. The first step our installation team took was to work off of the plan the design specialist drew up and measure out the proper locations for where the WaterGuard would go. The WaterGuard goes along the base of the wall where it meets the floor so a piece of both had to be cut out to make room for the WaterGuard. Once the product was laid, connected, and installed, our team filled in what they removed to not disrupt the original look of the basement. A WaterGuard system’s job is to collect water seeping in from the ground outside the basement and direct it to the sump pump. This house didn’t have an existing sump pump so we installed a brand new TripleSafe, which is an incredibly reliable product, more than capable of handling even the worst northeast storms. With these two products working off each other, leaks are now a thing of the past!

EverBrace installation is something done in situations where the foundation is at severe risk of total failure. The decision to go with EverBrace is made after a careful, in-depth inspection by one of our certified design specialists. Typical signs of serious foundation failure are bowing walls, large, lengthy cracks in the walls, flaking, crumbling walls, etc. EverBrace works on practically all types of foundations, making it a great choice for upstate New York with all the different types of foundations our area has. The actual installation process begins with putting up steel corrugated panels between beams against the affected walls. Then, a specialized rigid foam is sprayed behind the panels, between them and the existing walls. Once the installation is complete, the weight of the house is transferred to the EverBrace system, taking the load off the compromised foundation, giving the home the support of a new foundation without the cost or hassle!

This basement, while having an older pump, was not dealing with significant water issues, however the air in the basement was stale and humid. To remedy this, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Installation of this product is super simple, bringing lasting relief to the air in your home. The SaniDry was also hooked up to the pre-existing sump system so the moisture it takes in is immediately discharged through the pump and out of the home. If the air in your basement is in need of assistance, the SaniDry Sedona is the perfect product.

Decks and porches often need a lift, much like a foundation does. Soil settlement and shifting over time takes porches with it, causing sagging and displacement. This homeowner had pre-existing support posts to help keep the deck from sinking any further, but the integrity of those deteriorated over time. They called us in to help alleviate the issue and we installed special piers to help lift the deck back to its original position and keep it stable in the event of future soil settlement. We simultaneously removed the old support piers and replaced them with our own, allowing for a seamless transition to reliable piers. Now, the homeowner can relax outside without worrying about their deck collapsing from underneath them.

This homeowner noticed that their walls in their basement were bending inwards. This is known as bowing walls. Bowing walls are dependent on the soil around the foundation and when the soil begins to swell or shrink due to the change of moisture, this will occur. To fix this, the homeowner decided to contact us and when one of our design specialists came out to the home, they recommended that Adirondack Basement Systems help this problem by installing PowerBraces. The homeowner liked the recommendation and continued to forward with the work. When our installation team arrived, they installed the PowerBraces by anchoring them into the foundation of the floor and tightened them so that the bowing walls can go back to the original form. The homeowner is very happy that they no longer have to worry about the walls in the basement as this is a permanent fix with the proper annual service to tighten the braces over time.

A homeowner reached out to Adirondack Basement Systems because he noticed cracks in his basement walls. Bowing walls are caused by water build up in the soil around the foundation. This can be caused by the melting of snow and/or heavy rain fall. If not taken care of properly, the walls can crack or even collapse. So, when the homeowner reached out to us, we knew the proper and effective way to assist. The correct way to take care of bowing walls is to install a couple of PowerBraces around the perimeter of the basement. PowerBraces are steel beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. This system is effective because it will stabilize the wall and return the wall to its original position. Now with the proper annual tightening of the PowerBraces, the homeowner no longer has to worry about the walls crumbling in which would have led him to an even bigger problem.

A homeowner in Valatie NY had noticed some water leaking into his basement and knew that calling Adirondack Basement Systems would fix his issue. At the initial inspection, David, inspected the basement to see what the best option for this home would be. That is when he recommended that a SuperSump Plus should be installed with a LawnScape outlet so that the water would be discharged to the outside. Since it was starting to get cold outside, David also recommended that an IceGuard be installed so that the discharge lines would not freeze during the winter. This homeowner was more than happy to go forward with the project. Ever since this was installed, this homeowner has no worries about his basement anymore.

A homeowner in Albany noticed that there was water coming in through the concrete floors of his basement. When telling people about his issue, they recommended Adirondack Basement Systems. Once David had suggested what should be done, the homeowner was ready to schedule the install. We installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which is installed just underneath the edge of the floor so that water from the walls will get drained into the drainage system instead of staying on the ground. We also installed a Super Sump Pump which allows for 2,220 gallons of water to be pumped per hour. With annual maintenance being done at least once a year, this homeowner will not have to worry about water in the basement.

She reached out to Adirondack Basement Systems so that her and her family could live a healthy life. Design specialist, Jon went out to give an inspection. He had presented and recommended that she have our team install CleanSpace liner to the crawl space which will prevent any moisture to get in. When they were speaking, the homeowner had told Jon that her floors above the crawl space get really cold in the winter. To fix that problem, Jon had our install crew install SilverGlo panels to act as an insulation but also prevents water vapor as well. This homeowner was very happy with the work that was done and can now rest knowing that her crawl space is not a worry anymore.

In Claverack, NY, a homeowner reached out to Adirondack Basement Systems looking for reliable basement waterproofing solutions. Their problem was regular water seepage during heavy rains, leading to unwanted moisture and potential damage to stored items. Referred by a friend for the best service, the homeowner sought a company not just for waterproofing but also improvements to their basement environment.
