A customer in Athens, NY was looking to purchase a new home. Upon an inspection of the basement, the engineer found that a couple of the bowing walls were in need of stabilization and repair. He recommended that the potential buyer contact Adirondack Basement Systems for an estimate on repair. We sent out one of our certified basement specialists to assess the basement and provide a detailed written estimate. After completing a thorough inspection, he knew that our powerbrace repair system would be an ideal permanent solution for the bowing walls.
This customer was dealing with a wet and musty basement and decided enough was enough; a good call for many reasons, one major reason being air quality. 50% of the air that you breathe when you’re at home comes from your basement or crawlspace, so having a clean space down below makes life above ground healthy and comfortable.
Our design specialist David LaCroix came in and went over the space with the homeowners, working together to find a solution that works for them. The plan that was ultimately drawn up involved a complete overhaul of the space, primarily including a CleanSpace wall system paired with drainage matting to keep the basement free of water. Along with this 1-2 punch came an Everlast basement window and a new drainage system to keep water as far away from the basement as possible. With all these different pieces protecting the space, moisture doesn’t stand a chance.
Sometimes, the job doesn’t involve lots of products and lengthy installations. That doesn’t make them any less important, however! Servicing existing products is often just as important as the big jobs because they ensure everything is working as they should and mending anything that isn’t up to our strict standards. We take just as much care with service jobs as we do with installations. In this example, our technician went to check up on an existing sump system and keep it functioning at its optimal level. And, after going over things with the property owner, it was decided a SaniDry Sedona would be beneficial to keeping the space free of humidity. There's always room for improvement and we're here to help out in any way we can!
This property owner was dealing with serious foundation settlement issues. The floor above was visibly sagging and the problem reached a point that required action to be taken. In a situation like this, there’s only one answer and thankfully, it’s a great one: SmartJacks. SmartJacks are incredibly strong and more than capable of taking the pressure off the existing foundation. This product is also completely adjustable, allowing the installers to fit it exactly how it needs to depending on the size of the area. This space required two different heights for the SmartJacks, but that was no problem at all. Once all in the right place and secured, SmartJacks are ready to provide the proper support your house needs.
This homeowner was experiencing a problem that many people know all too well: a wet and flooding basement. Wanting to make their basement a drier, livable space, they turned to Adirondack Basement Systems. Our Design Specialist worked with the customer to gauge their needs and formulate a plan to fulfill them. For this job in particular, the perfect answer was a SuperSump. The SuperSump is highly reliable and can handle high-volume pumping. The lid is also airtight to keeping out bugs, and preventing odors and radon gas from leaving. To aid the SuperSump in combating moisture, a WaterGuard drainage system was installed, which is nearly invisible and captures any leaking water through walls or joints. The WaterGuard is made from a plastic that won’t corrode or decay, meaning it’ll be effective for a long time. With these two products on the side of the homeowner, their water worries will be nothing but a distant memory in no time!
No two basements are alike, which keeps things interesting, but also can pose some unique problems—nothing that we can’t handle though! Many older houses have not had any remodeling or improvements made to their foundation because it involves high costs, extensive work, and ultimately isn’t entirely necessary. So, the original stone structures are present and allow water to easily pass through the walls or floor and into the basement. Thankfully, having an older basement is not the end of the world by any means! There are a number of products and methods than can be used to properly waterproof your space without the need for a huge construction project!
With this basement, while the layout is a bit unorthodox, it in no way prevented us from helping to alleviate the moisture issues. The two primary problems we found and wanted to focus our attention on was drainage and humidity. To combat each of these, a different product was needed. First, to address the pooling water and improve the drainage, we installed a SinglePack Sump System paired with an IceGuard to protect against cold weather and an extra buried pump discharge to help the sump get the water not only out of the house, but away to a safe distance where it won’t run back into the basement; a distance determined after careful surveying of the yard and measurements. Finally, for the humidity, the small, efficient SaniDry Sedona was the perfect choice due to its size and power. It is compact enough to fit into any space but can keep humidity to a minimum with no issue. Now, this old-fashioned basement is waterproofed enough to rival a modern basement!
This customer has a relatively large crawl space under their house and it needed a great deal of attention, both in terms of waterproofing and foundation support. The primary focus, however, was on the latter. The house was being held up by wooden posts that had worn down over the years, causing the floors above to sink and was setting up the foundation for serious damage if left unaddressed. Thankfully, we had a product that could easily solve this issue and act as a stronger, more reliable support beam than the wood was: SmartJacks.
We started off by inspecting the wood beams to gauge how much they’d deteriorated and how much they gave. Next, we measured how low the floors had sagged as a result of the run down posts—this helped us determine how many SmartJacks would be needed and what size. Five ended up being the magic number along with a series of supplemental beams to help lighten the load. We marked the positions for each of these beams and piers in a way that evenly distributed the weight of the house to prevent any one area from collapsing under the pressure. We then custom cut the SmartJacks and beams so they would perfectly fit this crawl space. Then, we installed them in their designated locations and double-checked that each piece was tightly secured. Thanks to these products, this house’s foundation is well-supported and the sagging floors will be lifted back to their proper level due to the SmartJacks’ adjustment feature.
As an added bonus, in the second to last picture you can catch a glimpse of a SaniDry Sedona in the bottom left, which does a great job of keeping the humidity under control. And while you can’t see the product itself, that new concrete next to the Sedona is covering a WaterGuard system designed to collect moisture as it comes in from the walls or floor and redirects it to the drainage system. With all these products, this homeowner will have very little to worry about when it comes to their crawl space and foundation!
Here’s a quick little job story detailing a CleanSpace job in a low-ceiling crawl space. There were two access points to the crawl space (we covered them when we finished the job), both being very small and cramped since the space itself was not very large (it was long, spanning the house, but there was hardly room to squat). After taking careful measurements we got the proper amounts of CleanSpace and Drainage Matting and got to cutting; making sure to be as precise as possible to allow the products to perfectly contour to the walls and floor. First, we wrapped the cement piers to protect them from water damage and then we laid out the Drainage Matting to help mitigate the water and keep it from entering the crawl space. On top of the matting and along the walls we installed CleanSpace to act as a vapor barrier to keep moisture from seeping through. These two products work as a great 1-2 punch to keep your Crawl Space from getting damp and musty.
This homeowner had a basement that was consistently very wet and damp, causing not only water damage, but also humid, stuffy air quality. After meeting with one of our certified design specialists, a simple waterproofing plan was drawn up that involved products that would combine to be highly effective at keeping the basement dry. The first step in getting the system set up was to remove a small portion of the walls where they meet the floor to make room for the TrenchDrain to be installed. The TrenchDrain collects incoming water and redirects it to the other newly installed product: a SinglePack sump pump. The SinglePack will then take the water and pump it out of the house to a distance away where it won’t come back. These two products handle the actual water, but in order to combat the high humidity, a SaniDry Sedona was also installed to keep the air at a comfortable level. With these three products working as a team, this basement’s water problems will be but a memory.
The basement featured in this job story was experiencing a decent amount of pooling water, especially during steady rainfalls. They had a pre-existing sump pump, but it was dated and since it didn’t have any other products to assist with getting the water out, the pump couldn’t keep up. A member of our team came out and inspected the basement to see what could be done to keep it dry. What they came up with was a complete waterproofing system to provide a cohesive defense against invading water even during the worst northeastern storms.
The primary areas for improvement that were focused on were upgrading the sump pump and setting up a proper way to facilitate any water that inevitably finds its way in through the walls to keep it from pooling and causing damage. In order to accomplish this plan, the installation team removed portions of the bottom of the walls and the floor at the base of the same walls to create space for where our WaterGuard system would go. WaterGuard lies at the joist and collects any water trickling through the walls and redirects to the sump pump. WaterGuard is practically invisible since the missing pieces of the wall and floor are replaced, making it noninvasive. There were some portions of the wall that the team couldn’t access to install WaterGuard since the boiler and other existing equipment was in the way. To circumvent this issue, the team installed a TrenchDrain around the inaccessible area and then hooked it back up to the WaterGuard on the other side. TrenchDrain does the same thing as WaterGuard, the only difference is that it is designed to be installed on the open floor like you see in the photos. Once those products were placed and the concrete was re-poured, the team then placed CleanSpace along the walls to provide a vapor barrier to the basement. Finally, the old sump pump was replaced with one of our TripleSafe sump pumps. The TripleSafe is a top of the line product that can handle large amounts of water with no problem, making it a powerful, reliable product more than capable of keeping water out of the basement. All together, these products create a highly effective waterproofing system that provided relief to a homeowner in need!
This crawl space’s insulation had seen better days and was in need of improvement. One of our highly trained design specialists went in and surveyed the area, checking for weaknesses in not only the insulation, but the foundation as well. Thankfully, the only issues were with the insulation and waterproofing. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier could solve both problems and was ready for the job! The installation team got to work spreading CleanSpace along the floor and short walls of the crawl space. The great thing about this vapor barrier is that it fits and works in crawl spaces and basements of any shape or size, able to contour to practically any surface. With the crawl space now covered in CleanSpace water no longer has easy access and heat cannot escape, thanks to the 4-layer polyethylene composition of the CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a reliable solution to your crawl space woes, ready to provide proper protection you can count on!
This space had no protection from water, especially with its gravel floor. Wanting to prep the space and give it a better chance against Mother Nature, the property owner brought us in to do what we do best. Our team installed WaterGuard along the edges of the floor at the base of the walls to collect any moisture that seeped in from the outside soil. To address the condition of the floor, a pairing of Drainage Matting and CleanSpace was spread out to act as a vapor barrier, redirecting any water, preventing it from pooling and causing damage. Now, this area is in good hands, with water problems in the rearview mirror!
Air quality is important in a home and it all starts in the basement. 50% of the air in your home originates right beneath your feet in the basement, so it’s important to handle the problem at its source if the air is feeling stale and stuffy. This homeowner was dealing with humidity issues, so one of our design specialists went out there to see what solutions could be found. After thoroughly looking over the basement, they recommended our SaniDry Sedona; an effective dehumidifier capable of bringing the humidity in your basement down and improving the air quality as a result. Now, humidity is no longer a problem in this basement and this customer can breathe easy, all thanks to the SaniDry Sedona.
