Dedicated Basement Waterproofing, Foundation & Crawl Space Repair Experts Serving Latham, NY

In early spring, a homeowner in Latham, NY faced the recurring issue of water seeping into their basement. With plans to waterproof the basement in anticipation of heavy spring rains, they turned to Adirondack Basement Systems, known in the community as trusted experts in basement solutions. Our initial contact started with our Customer Care Specialist, who promptly scheduled a home inspection.

Our System Design Specialist visited the homeowner to conduct a thorough inspection. During the visit, it became clear that water was infiltrating the space through both the foundation walls and the floor seams, creating an urgent need for a lasting solution to prevent damage.

To address these issues, we designed a comprehensive waterproofing strategy tailored to the home's specific needs. Our production team installed the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system below the basement floor, providing an effective and unobtrusive solution for capturing water seepage from the walls. This was coupled seamlessly with our TripleSafe sump pump, renowned for its reliability, even during power outages thanks to an integrated battery backup. Installed within a figure eight sump liner, the TripleSafe system ensured that even under heavy rain, the pumping demands would be efficiently met.

Additionally, understanding the freezing risks in northern climates, we included the IceGuard discharge line option. This offered peace of mind by safeguarding the sump pump discharge lines from potentially damaging blockages caused by snow and ice.

Satisfied with the quick and professional installation, the homeowner now has a clean, dry, and dependable basement. With these installed systems, they can look forward to using their space for storage or recreation without the constant worry of water damage.

In recent months, a homeowner in Latham, NY, reached out to us with growing concerns about their home's foundation. They had noticed troubling cracks in their foundation walls, and during heavy rain, water found its way into the basement through these openings. A quick chat with our Customer Care Specialist led to a scheduled inspection with one of our System Design Specialists.

During the thorough inspection, our specialist identified that the cracks and water intrusion stemmed from shifting foundation soils and the underlying structural strain. They recommended the SmartJack® System—a robust solution designed to stabilize and protect the home.

Soon after the initial assessment, our skilled production team arrived at the property, ready to remedy the issues in a lasting manner. They carefully set to work beneath the home, creating a stable support base with engineered fill, ensuring to lay down every material with precision. Galvanized steel columns were expertly cut to precise measurement and installed on steel bases. These columns were skillfully fastened with adjustable top brackets to existing girders, ensuring firm support.

As the installation reached completion, the heavy-duty threaded rods allowed the team to make precise adjustments, gently lifting the sagging floors to bring them closer to their original position. They meticulously cleaned the work area, leaving the homeowner with peace of mind and a corrective solution that rerouted both the visible aesthetic concerns and the hidden structural vulnerabilities beneath.

In Latham, NY, a homeowner faced a troubling issue: the bottom of the stairs connecting their basement to the garage was consistently damp. This was more than just an inconvenience—it posed risks to the integrity of their home and their peace of mind.

Upon contacting Adirondack Basement Systems, our Customer Care Specialist swiftly arranged a home inspection, ensuring that help was just around the corner. Our System Design Specialist conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the property, pinpointing the root of the problem. With years of experience in basement waterproofing, we determined that a more robust solution was needed to keep this space reliably dry.

To tackle this, we installed two key components: IceGuard and SuperSump. The IceGuard system is designed to ensure that discharge lines never back up due to freezing or blockages, with its unique design allowing water to escape if pipes become clogged or covered. In partnership with the IceGuard, the SuperSump provided a powerhouse of performance, featuring a top-rated Zoeller pump and ensuring the prolonged safety and efficiency of the basement water evacuation system.

Once installation was completed by our skilled production team, the transformation was clear. The days of moisture perched at the bottom of the stairs were over. Our thorough approach replaced worries with assurance, and the homeowner could fully enjoy their basement space, unburdened by concerns of water damage.

Recently, we had the opportunity to assist a homeowner in Latham, NY, who was dealing with unlevel concrete slabs surrounding their pool deck. This homeowner turned to us at Adirondack Basement Systems after noticing safety concerns and wanting to address the aesthetic issues caused by the uneven concrete.

The first step in our process started with a consultation call to our Customer Care Specialist. At that time, we scheduled an inspection appointment that included dispatching one of our System Design Specialists to their home. Our specialist conducted a thorough inspection around the pool deck, identifying not only the location of the problem but also the underlying cause of the shifting and sinking slabs. 

We recommended and implemented the PolyLevel system as the ideal solution to this issue. On the scheduled date, our production team, made up of a skilled foreman and certified installers, arrived on site. Small, pea-sized holes were strategically drilled into the affected slabs. These weren't intrusive and wouldn't take away from the structure’s integrity. Our team then meticulously injected high-strength polyurethane foam through these holes. As the foam expanded, it lifted and leveled the slabs back to their original positions, addressing both safety and shared cosmetic concerns. 

By the end of the job, what we had completed was a seamlessly even textured surface that not only enhanced the pool area but also restored its safety features for the homeowner and their family. Our method, precision-focused and using advanced technology, provided a reliable and lasting solution. The homeowner in Latham was delighted with the results, noting both the invisibility of our work and the professional approach we maintained throughout the process.
