Adirondack Basement Systems serving Saratoga, NY

Eric P. of Clifton Park, NY wanted a clean, safe space in his basement so that he could eventually finish the area off completely in the future.  Eric's basement was just a damp storage space at this time.  His walls were filled with effervescence and although mold was not noticeable as of yet, the entire basement smelled damp and felt humid.  Eric reached out to Adirondack Basement Systems, and with Basement Waterproofing specialist Tim VanKempen, they devised a plan to transform his wet moldy basement in to a useable space. 

Soon after their initial inspection, foreman Christopher Hurley and his crew arrived at Eric's home.  They installed our complete waterproofing system including TrenchDrain, Waterguard, Sump Pump, ThermalDry Insulation and a SaniDry dehumidification system.  WaterGuard and TrenchDrain act as a non-clogging piping system that sits above the soil.  Water passes through the system and eventually runs off into one of our Sump Pumps.  In this case Eric went with our TripleSafe pump, this is the world's MOST reliable pump system, with 1 regular, and 2 back-up pumps.  After the perimeter drain was installed Christopher and crew installed the final product our patented high-performance dehumidification and air filtration system.  The dehumidifier eliminated any damp or musty odors in Eric's basement and solved any problems with mold, allergens, or unfiltered air. 

Now that our work is done Eric’s basement is dry and ready for storage, finishing, or whatever his family and him decide to do with their brand new square footage!

Mr. "R" of Ballston Lake noticed large cracks forming in the foundation of his garage walls. Concerned with this foundation issue, he wanted to make sure it was resolved to prevent any future structural problems from occurring. After contacting our office, Mr. "R" met with our Design Specialist Bill to inspect the issue further and discuss the best possible solution to fix it.

Bill decided the appropriate solution for Mr. "R"s foundation would be to adhere our Carbon Armor straps to his walls to prevent any further damage from occurring. Carbon fiber is nearly impossible to stretch which allows it to keep concrete walls from bending or bowing inward. Carbon Armor is the perfect repair option if the walls haven't started to slide in at the bottom or lean in at the top. It is 10 times stronger than steel and the ONLY carbon fiber product designed to code American Concrete Institution 440.7R-10. Our product is engineered to be the best in the market!

Mr. "R" was very happy with the results of the Carbon Armor installation done by our foreman Austin and his crew. Now he no longer has to worry about new cracks forming and hindering the stability of his foundation.

Mrs. "C" was experiencing water seepage through a crack in her basement floor. Due to this problem her basement was damp and musty making her eager to find a solution to keep her basement dry all the time. Mrs. "C" contacted our company and set up her free estimate with our Design Specialist Bill to do a detailed inspection and recommend the most effective products for her concerns.

Bill visited Mrs. "C"s home and after a thorough analysis he decided our patented TripleSafe sump pump system in conjunction with the WaterGuard would be best to solve the water issue. Our TripleSafe System uses three powerful pumps, one of which is battery operated to ensure that even when the power is out your pump keeps working! WaterGuard lines the perimeter of your basement to create a track for the water to drain to the sump system. Mrs. "C" also decided to purchase our energy efficient dehumidifier, the SaniDry Sedona. The SaniDry Sedona has over 100 pints per day capacity and drains automatically! It also has a large MERV 8 filter which protects you from mold spores, dust and other particulates that can effect your health. To further assist in keeping the basement dry Mrs. "C" had the CleanSpace System installed. CleanSpace is designed to protect your basement or crawlspace from condensation as well as mold and the cold outside air.

Our foreman Michael and his crew worked hard to create a safe dry basement for Mrs. "C". Now she can enjoy a dry basement rest assured that the air she is breathing within her home is clean and free of mold spores, dust and other particles. 

A homeowner in Mechanicville, NY had a vertical crack in his foundation wall that had been there for nearly 11 years. This crack was causing water seepage into the basement; an issue the homeowner could no longer ignore. Since they were in the process of selling their home, they needed to fix the problem permanently and efficiently. The homeowner contacted Adirondack Basement Systems for a free estimate with one of our trained waterproofing specialists. Being a previous customer of ours and knowing about our nationally-backed warranties, the homeowner entrusted us to provide the solution they needed.

Our design specialist recommended FlexiSpan to the homeowner. Unlike hydraulic cements and some epoxies, the special sealant used for FlexiSpan will never dry out or re-crack over time. It will stay bonded with wall movement, and seal the crack permanently so you never have to worry! A pathway for water seepage beneath the sealant can be connected to either a dry well or a perimeter drainage system. The new homeowners can now have peace of mind that the crack will no longer seep in water and create a damp musty environment!

This customer from Mechanicville, NY, contacted us when he noticed cracks in his basement walls. Our Design Specialist, Dave LaCroix, decided that we would repair the cracking in the walls with our patented FlexiSpan crack repair system! This system is actually a three-part process, providing multiple layers of protection. The process begins with applying the sealant along the length of the cracks. After the sealant is applied, a foam is installed on top of that, over the crack. Lastly, an impenetrable membrane sticks to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. This allows any leakage of water through the crack to move down the wall and into the drainage system.

Now, their basement is crack-free, and you would have never known there were cracks there to begin with! If you are worried about cracking in your basement, you can reach out to us today to schedule your free estimate.

No two jobs are the same and thankfully some are easy and simple, requiring no immense renovations to solve the problem. This homeowner's basement wasn’t experiencing any immense flooding, however water getting in remained a looming presence and there were some signs of moisture seeping in, so they wanted to do something about it to ease their mind. After inspecting the basement, our Design Specialist found an easy, effective fix to their water troubles. It was determined that the water was primarily entering through the window, so a WellDuct kit was installed to keep the window well filled with water from flooding into the basement. This product also diverts the water from the window to the interior drainage system. And since the WellDuct kit can be fitted to any window regardless of shape or size, installation is a breeze! Finally, to fix the wall cracks, FlexiSpan foam was used to plug them up and prevent any additional leakage into the basement.  

Not every job has to be a complicated one, but even with the simple jobs, we make sure to take the proper care and time that’s needed to give the customer an effective, full-functioning product that does the jobs it’s meant to do. We're here to help with any job you may have, regardless of size! In this instance, much of typical work that’s needed for putting in a sump system was in place before we got there. The customer already had a Zoeller pump and the plumbing was in place, so all we needed to do was go in and install the UltraSump onto the existing Zoeller and that was that. What a seemingly small project like this accomplished was boost the sump pump system of the basement, protecting the house more effectively from invasive water and keeping it flowing out of the space with no chance of pooling. Even the smallest installation can have a huge impact on the waterproofing system of your home, so never hesitate to see what improvements can be made in your basement!

Windows play a big role in a home; both on the main floors and the basement. This homeowner had a nicely finished basement, but they had an old, worn window that needed replacing. If left to deteriorate, basement windows can become a prime location for water to enter and for heat to escape, causing damage to the basement and the bank account. After meeting with one of our certified design specialists and going over the area, a plan for a replacement EverLast window was drawn up with the owner of the home. They also wanted a bigger window to allow for more light to get through and to aesthetically improve the space, which was no problem at all. Careful measurements were taken and a custom window was ordered. Once it arrived, our install team took their time to ensure the window was a perfect fit in the sill, not leaving room for any sort of opening. The EverLast window was sealed in place and then the team moved outside to create room for a RockWell system to protect the EverLast. The RockWell not only does a great job of keeping the window from being damaged, but it has key safety features that prevent anyone from accidentally falling in and getting hurt. And with that, the job was complete! No longer will windows be a weak point for this basement!

Window replacements aren’t always as simple as getting a new one in the same size and inserting it where the old one was. There’s instances where a larger window may be more beneficial—especially if you want to get more natural light into your basement or whatever other reason you may have. The process to get a larger window installed began by assessing the pre-existing windowsill and mapping out the dimensions of the replacement window to gauge how much of the wall would have to be cut out to allot the proper space. One unique aspect of this job was the A/C unit for the house was ever so slightly in the way, so that had to get moved before the job could be done. After that was taken care of, we went around to the outside of the house and dig out space for us to work and insert the window, after we sliced open the wall, as well as the other products paired with it. We sealed the window in, checking every corner and edge for any openings, filling them in if they’re discovered. Then, we installed the RockWell and covering, which protects the window from getting damaged by the elements, animals, or people. Once all the products were properly installed, we filled in the dirt and cleaned up the mess we made, leaving the homeowner with a brand new window that not only makes the home look nicer, but also keeps water out and heat in much more efficiently than the old window. 

Foundation settlement, unfortunately, is an inescapable issue. Over time, the soil around any structure is going to shift. Problems that often arise because of this movement include cracks in the walls (both in the basement, upstairs, and outside), bouncy or sagging floors, and bowing walls. This photo series tells the story of the latter. The first step in correcting buckling or bowing walls was to measure the extent of the displacement. This information helped determine what product is right for the job. In the case of this basement, the walls were certainly bowing and based on the inspection, the product that was required was PowerBraces. Using tape, exact locations were marked along the wall, spaced out properly so the weight distribution would be even. If there is any error during the pre-planning, then the entire system could fail, so our team was very precise and took their time. Next, PowerBraces of the proper size were custom-cut to perfectly fit the basement walls. Then, the braces were attached directly to the walls with very little intrusion to the space. The PowerBraces are then tightened and the job was done. This system will keep the walls from bowing any further and correct them back to their original position over time. PowerBraces are strong, reliable, and the perfect answer to buckling or bowing walls.

This job story highlights two products commonly featured in our waterproofing systems: CleanSpace and WaterGuard. In the first few pictures, you can see the beginning steps of the installation process. WaterGuard attaches where the floors meet the walls so in order to get in there, our team had to remove portions of both to make room. They then installed the WaterGuards in a path that leads to the sump pump so they can collect water seeping in from the outside soil and redirect it to the pump. Once the path is laid out properly, the team filled in the bits of the wall and floor they removed so the basement looks how it did before and so the WaterGuard is fastened in properly.  Paired with this, CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that was spread and attached to the walls of the basement. Installation is super simple and doesn't intrude on the original set up of the basement. This 4-layer polyethylene composition is durable and reliable, giving this homeowner peace of mind knowing that they are protected from moisture, especially with the WaterGuard also in place!

This job features a product that’s a bit more for aesthetic purposes, but its waterproofing impact cannot be ignored! The owner of this home’s primary goal was to make their basement a more welcoming, livable space while also tackling the water issue. Our Design Specialist went over the entire area with the goal of making the basement not only waterproof, but also a nice place to spend time in. They brought floor samples for the homeowner to look at, both in terms of pattern and color. Once everything was decided upon, the plan was passed on to the installation team and they got to work prepping the basement for the waterproofing system, which was a traditional setup. The products used in this sector were WaterGuard, TrenchDrain, and a TripleSafe. Installation for WaterGuard involved removing small portions of the wall and floor (where the two meet), since WaterGuard sits at the joist, collecting water that seeps in from the outside soil and directing it to the sump pump. TrenchDrain was a similar installation process, except it’s strictly along the floor. These two products both divert invading water to the TripleSafe sump pump, which sends it out and away from the home. With the waterproofing portion complete, the team was then able to lay out the Elite Plank flooring. The color the homeowner selected was a simple grey, which goes great with any interior designing this homeowner planned to do. When the job was done this basement was waterproofed and presentable, a success for all involved!

Solving water issues in a basement is not something that can be accomplished without complete care and attention being given to the home. In cases where a full perimeter system is called for, anything less won’t cut it. A partial system may protect a certain area of the basement, but that would only force the water to find other entry points and come into the basement in higher concentration. After surveying this basement in particular, our design specialist advised the homeowner to go with a full waterproofing system in order to get rid of the problem once and for all. A plan of action was mapped out and handed off to the installation team to get the job done. The first step taken was to remove portions of the wall and floors where the two meet, making room for the WaterGuard. WaterGuard’s purpose is to collect water coming in from the outside soil and directing it to the sump pump, which in the case of this home, was a TripleSafe. The TripleSafe has numerous features that help it produce at its peak performance, such as a WaterWatch alarm, backup battery, and tri-pump setup. All three of these features keep the basement dry even in the event of horrible storms and power outages. Finally, after replacing the missing portions of the floor and wall, CleanSpace was spread around the perimeter of the basement to act as a vapor barrier, keeping water from seeping through from outside the home and causing damage. CleanSpace is incredibly durable and redirects the moisture down into the WaterGuard, playing a vital role in maintaining a dry, healthy basement!

Window installation is a careful process. Our design specialist used a critical eye to gauge the extent of the damage, measurements of the sill, and what type of window would be best for both waterproofing and aesthetic purposes. What was ultimately decided on was a larger egress window that would not only protect the basement, but also provide more sunlight and a cleaner look. The first step the crew took was clearing out room to work, both inside and outside the house. Working off the precise measurements taken by the design specialist, the installation team removed the old window and cut open a larger space in the wall to allow room for the new window. Next, they inserted the custom-ordered window into the opening, secured it in place and filled in any gaps between the window and the wall. Finally, the crew went outside and installed the window covering and filled in the dirt, making sure we cleaned up any mess they made. With that, the job was done and this home had a sleek, updated window, improving the quality of their basement!

Let’s explore the installation of one of our wall systems: Foamax. This basement was dealing with water, humidity, and insulation issues. After going over every inch of the basement, gauging the severity of the situation, pairing that information with the homeowner’s goals for their home, our design specialist recommended Foamax. Installation of Foamax is relatively simple, since it is placed right against the existing basement walls. It’s cut and secured to perfectly fit the space it’s in to guarantee an efficient, effective system. At its core, Foamax is a basement insulator, regulating moisture and keeping humidity down to make the space healthier and more livable. Foamax can be paired with our other waterproofing products to create a well-rounded system, or, like in the case of this home, it can exist on its own. Foamax is also compatible with basement finishing products, so if you’re looking for a good base product to help insulate your home, Foamax is also a great choice! Regardless of your plans for the basement, Foamax is the perfect choice for insulation and moisture control!

Crawl spaces may seem like hard to reach areas of your home, but they’re not a problem for us at Adirondack Basement Systems! It’s important to not forget about your crawl space and provide it with the proper protection. The health of the crawl space impacts the rest of the home, so if it’s in bad shape, then trouble may be in your future or already at your doorstep. This job story showcases a simple CleanSpace installation in a crawl space. A design specialist was the first one in, surveying the entire crawl space and determining what needed to be done to protect the area. Thankfully, there was no serious flooding or damage so CleanSpace would do the trick! The installation team went in and laid out CleanSpace, a 4-layer polyethylene vapor barrier, along the floors and walls. Now, with the help of CleanSpace, this crawl space won't have to deal with any moisture issues or musty smells emanating from it and spreading up into the home!

PowerBrace installation began with careful surveying of the buckling walls, gauging how severe the displacement was. Then, the design specialist marked off evenly spaced spots for the PowerBraces. This was an important step in the process because if the support beams aren’t properly spaced then some of the braces will take on more weight than the others, becoming overwhelmed and ultimately failing. Once all the prep work was completed, the job was handed off to the installation team who brought in the custom-cut PowerBraces into the basement and attached them to the walls at their designated locations. The team double-checked their work, cleaned up any mess they made and that was that. With the assistance of the PowerBrace system, the walls wouldn’t bow any further and our service team would come back annually to tighten them and bring the wall back to their original position!

This homeowner already had a waterproofing system done by us, but was experiencing foundation issues, so they called us back in to address the problem. Our foundation solutions are fully compatible with our waterproofing systems, so we were able to install the PowerBraces overtop the CleanSpace that was along the walls. These walls were bowing, which is why PowerBraces were selected. PowerBraces help keep the walls from buckling any further and correct them back to their original position over time, making them an excellent product to solve this home’s foundation troubles!

When a home has bouncy, sagging floors, this is an indicator that the support beneath requires a boost. The floor in question here sat above a crawl space, so our design specialist made their way in and inspected the area, looking for weak points then mapped out a SmartJacks system that would provide the proper support needed for the floors. Our installation team placed each support pier at marked off, even intervals to prevent one side from taking on more weight than the other and ultimately compromising the system. Each SmartJack was custom-cut to perfectly fit the crawl space and get the floor back to its original position. After SmartJacks were fitted, installed, and double-checked, this home had support it could rely on for years to come!

A homeowner in Clifton Park wanted to improve the windows in their basement home office. They wanted an option that would look good but would also be an effective improvement to their home. They reached out to us hopeful that we would be able to help them. We were able to send one of our design specialists to them to take measurements and go over the best options for the homeowner. After finding out that an egress window would let natural light and air into the home and save them money in the long run, they were sold. Our install crew replaced their window with an egress window and installed a window well for easy escape in case of an emergency. They finished the install off with adding a window well cover which will keep water out of the hole and out of the basement. 

This previous customer of Adirondack Basement Systems, wanted to add a window to their basement to let more light in. When Jeff went out to her, he suggested that installing an Everlast window would be the best option for her and her homes needs. With the Everlast window it will not only allow extra light into the home, but the windows will not get rusty overtime. Brandon and his install crew cut a new block for the new Everlast window and installed the window. This Clifton Park homeowner is very happy with her newly fresh looking windows and was happy to let us know that she will continue on using our services. 

A customer in Greenfield Center, NY had reached out to Adirondack Basement Systems to get a free estimate to make her crawlspace better. She first noticed that the crawlspace was very damp and the heat from the inside was not staying in. She knew that to get this problem fixed, she had to contact us. The design specialist we had sent out recommended that a CleanSpace liner was installed and went over with her that this would act as a moisture barrier to help keep the dampness out and will prevent the growth of mold. He had also suggested that SilverGlo be installed to act as insulation to help keep the heat inside. The words help and prevent was all this homeowner needed to hear to go forward with the install. On the day of the install, Matt and his crew had installed the SilverGlo and CleanSpace and made this homeowner very happy and less worried!

This homeowner had a continuing water problem in their basement. They contacted us here at Adirondack Basement Systems to get the problem resolved. We did just that when we showed up. To pump out all the water that was coming in we installed our TripleSafe sump pump which has a total of three pumps. The first pump turns on and is able to pump out 2,220 gallons of water and hour but if that is not enough the second pump turns on and is able to pump out an additional 3,900 gallons of water per hour. If the power were to go out there is a third pump which is backed up by a battery and is able to pump out 11,500 gallons of water.

This homeowner in Day, NY was experiencing moisture in their home. Moisture tends to get in through a non encapsulated crawlspace, allowing the humidity to enter the home. This crawlspace also had a dirt floor that the homeowner no longer wanted to deal with. They have seen Adirondack Basement Systems ads on the television and knew that when they wanted to get the work done with their crawlspace they would call us. When Design Specialist, Jeff, went out he knew that adding a moisture blocking wall covering to the crawlspace would be best. On the day of the install, Tim and his crew installed drainage matting which allows for the water to get to the drainage system without entering the crawlspace and is also ideal for a full encapsulation. To finish off the encapsulation of the crawlspace the crew installed 990 square feet of CleanSpace with two CleanSpace vent covers. The CleanSpace acts for a moisture barrier and the vent covers block airflow from the outside. Now that these homeowners have a newly encapsulated crawlspace, they can have a piece of mind!

After searching the internet, this customer landed on our website to get an Egress window installed to create a basement bedroom. She called into Adirondack Basement Systems to get scheduled in for a free no-obligation estimate. On the day of the appointment, Joe concluded with the customer that a small Egress window with a Rock Well window system would be what she was looking for. She liked what Joe was proposing and decided to get scheduled for the install. On the day of the install, Brandon and his crew had to excavate and cut an opening for the Egress. Next, they dug a hole in front of the window to add the Rock Well window well to add the escape route. Once the install was completed, this customer was astonished with how her new windows looked and now she can continue the work to get the basement bedroom she wanted.

This Halfmoon, NY homeowner was looking for a solution to keep his basement dry all year round. He decided to give Adirondack Basement Systems a call to get a professional basement specialist to come and assess the issue. Our Certified Design Specialist, Jeff, went out to the home to evaluate the basement. He suggested that the WaterGuard system would be the best solution for this homeowner. Brandon and his team installed the WaterGuard system. Now this homeowner doesn't need to worry about his basement having water issues again. 

A homeowner in Saratoga Springs NY noticed water issues in his crawl space. Once he noticed the issues, he didn't want them to get worse so he reached out to Adirondack Basement Systems for a permanent solution for his crawl space. Once the appointment was scheduled, Jeff went inspected the basement to see how we would be able to help. He suggested that this homeowner do a full encapsulation of his crawl space. After Jeff explained what that would entail, the homeowner was happy to move on to the next step of his ABS journey, which was to schedule the install. Tim and his crew installed TerraBlock insulation directly over the crawl space floors. Next they installed SilverGlo insulation to the walls. Both of these insulations can not be damaged by moisture, which will keep this home warm and moisture free. Lastly, they installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier which is a long-term, durable product. With the install being done, this homeowner can have a peace of mind and no longer has concerns about the crawl space.

A homeowner in Ballston Spa called due to a smelly, musty basement. Quickly, our Customer Care team set an appointment for a design specialist to carefully detect the source of the problem. Upon careful inspection, the design specialist was able to put together a free estimate and proposal. 

The homeowner and design specialist agreed on a full perimeter installation of CleanSpace, a SumpPump, a SaniDry Sedona, WaterGuard, and a TrenchDrain. Our production team quickly got to installing each of the products, carefully and precisely, to make sure they work together in the best way possible. 

Overall, the customer was very happy with a job well done and looks forward to us maintaining the SumpPump and Sedona regularly. 

Recently, in Clifton Park, a homeowner reached out to us with hopes of upgrading their SumpPump, after having such a wet season. Additionally, they lacked IceGuard and an exterior discharge line, which meant there was potential for hoses to freeze and for water to seep back into the basement, with nowhere else to go. We, at Adirondack Basement Systems understand how critical a reliable basement waterproofing system is, not only for the structural integrity of your home, but for the peace of mind it brings. 

Because of this, our Customer Care team promptly scheduled an inspection with one of our expert System Design Specialists. Upon visiting the home, our specialists thoroughly assessed the space, identified both the obvious and underlying issues, and recommended the installation of our TripleSafe Sump Pump system. The beauty of the TripleSafe system lies in its reliability and efficiency - it's designed as a comprehensive solution to basement water problems. 

Not only did the production team go in to replace the old, inadequate sump pump with the TripleSafe, but they also installed a strategic exterior discharge line to ensure water stays out of the basement for good. The outcome? A totally transformed basement space that's dry, safe, and properly equipped to handle whatever mother nature decides to throw our way.  

At Adirondack Basement Systems, we're all about providing solutions that stand the test of time and create a safer environment for homeowners. One recent job took us to Albany, NY, where a homeowner reached out with a problem that's all too common - a severely uneven concrete sidewalk. This not only detracted from the home's curb appeal but posed a trip hazard to anyone walking by. After the homeowner connected with our dedicated Customer Care team, we promptly scheduled a home inspection. Our System Design Specialist visited the property, examined the uneven sidewalk's extent, and recommended a combo of our PolyLevel and NexusPro solutions. These products are at the forefront of concrete lifting and sealing technology, ensuring both effectiveness and longevity. PolyLevel, a state-of-the-art foam injection, quickly raises and stabilizes concrete slabs without the mess of traditional mudjacking. NexusPro then sealed the deal, filling in cracks and joints to prevent future water damage and soil erosion, which are common culprits behind uneven sidewalks. The day of installation was smooth sailing. Our production team, led by an experienced foreman, professionally lifted the sunk sections of the sidewalk and sealed all cracks, substantially improving the look and safety of the property. We made certain the site was as spotless as when we arrived, leaving behind only our quality workmanship. The outcome? Another satisfied homeowner, safe from potential trips and falls, and a sidewalk that looks as good as new. This job is just one example of how our mix of advanced products and meticulous service tackles even the trickiest home issues, reflecting our mission to deliver a remarkable customer experience every time.

At Adirondack Basement Systems, we recently encountered a homeowner in Ballston Lake, NY struggling with sinking concrete around their pool area. It's a common problem that can create serious tripping hazards and detract from the overall enjoyment and value of a home. Understandably, the homeowners wanted a quick and effective solution that would also stand the test of time. After contacting our Customer Care team, a visit was scheduled with one of our knowledgeable System Design Specialists. They conducted a thorough inspection of the pool area, diagnosing the underlying issues causing the concrete to sink. Our recommended solution? The innovative combination of PolyLevel and NexusPro sealant systems. PolyLevel is an advanced polyurethane foam we inject beneath the surface, effectively lifting and leveling the concrete slabs without the mess and downtime associated with traditional methods. NexusPro sealant is then used to fill in cracks and joints, further stabilizing and protecting the concrete from future damage and wear. On the day of installation, our highly skilled production team arrived on-site, ready to tackle the project. The process went smoothly, with the area around the pool being lifted and stabilized promptly. Thanks to PolyLevel, the concrete was delicately raised to its original position, eliminating trip hazards and restoring the pool area's functionality and aesthetics. Following that, all cracks and joints were sealed with NexusPro, safeguarding the area against water intrusion and future cracking. By the time we completed the job, the transformation was remarkable. What once was an unsafe, uneven area around their swimming pool had become solid, level, and visually appealing. The homeowner was thrilled with the speed of the installation and the minimal disruption to their daily life – not to mention the reassurance that the problem was resolved long-term.

Recently, we had the pleasure of assisting a homeowner in Clifton Park, NY, who was facing a frustrating issue with their sidewalk.

At Adirondack Basement Systems, we had the opportunity to work with a homeowner in Gansevoort, NY, facing the all-too-common struggle of a wet basement. They were dealing with pooling water in a corner of the basement that frustratingly wouldn't flow into the sump pump. On top of that, they had an aging sump pump and were looking to add value and safety to their home with 3 new egress windows. After reaching out to our friendly Customer Care team, we had a System Design Specialist visit the home. They meticulously assessed the water problem and recommended a robust solution tailored to address all the homeowner’s concerns. The plan featured our WaterGuard interior drainage system designed to effectively capture wall and floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor, our TripleSafe Sump Pump that provides three levels of protection for their basement and peace of mind for the homeowner, IceGuard to prevent discharge line freezing, and CleanSpace wall membrane to keep walls dry and clean. Our skilled production team then went to work, installing these products with precision and care. They were able to direct any water into the new, more effective sump pump system, ensuring the space would stay dry. The implementation of our protective waterproofing measures and the introduction of efficiency through new egress windows moved the needle from a problematic waterlogged area to a dry, usable, and safe space in the home. The result? A bolstered home environment where concerns over a wet basement and outdated sump pump gave way to relief and satisfaction from the homeowner. Another standing testament to our mission to provide not just solutions but also a remarkable customer experience. Through understanding, planning, and executing the right solutions, we turned what could've been an ongoing battle against

A homeowner in Saratoga Springs called looking for a dehumidification system due to a moist basement. Knowing this will only get worse as the cooler months roll around, our Customer Care team quickly scheduled time for a Design Specialist to evaluate the root of the problem. The Design Specialist went out to inspect the home and recommended a series of products. 

First, the Design Specialist strongly encouraged a SaniDry Sedona, to purify the air and pull moisture out of the air already in the home. Next, Everlast Basement Windows were recommended to replace the old windows with leaky seals. The combination of products is guaranteed keep bad air out and good air in. 

The production team quickly got to installation, as the homeowner was very excited to see the results. First, the team started with installing the windows, then installed the Sedona. The project was seamless, and the home is now dry. 

A homeowner in Rock City Falls, NY called hoping to turn their basement into a livable space, while following safety regulations. Understanding the importance of getting this done before the cold weather hits, our Customer Care team quickly set an appointment for a Design Specialist to come take measurements. 

The Design Specialist provided options for egress window styles and sizes, considering factors like placement, drainage, and landscaping. Therefore, the homeowner and Design Specialist were able to agree upon windows that complimented the home's existing architecture. Egress window wells provide proper escape routes in case of an emergency, keep water from seeping in through cracks, improve heating/cooling efficiency, contribute to a home's aesthetic appeal, and more!

After scheduling an install date, the production team quickly got to work. The windows were seamlessly installed, along with a partnering window well. Now, the homeowner has natural light coming into the basement and is able to open/close the window with little to no effort. 

At Adirondack Basement Systems, we recently tackled a foundation repair case that stands testament to our commitment to making homes safer and our homeowners happier. In the heart of Corinth, NY, a homeowner reached out to us with a foundation issue that was worrying them every day. Their home, nestled among the beautiful landscapes of the area, had started showing signs of a deteriorating foundation, with crumbling and cracking that couldn't be ignored any longer. To make matters a bit riskier, this wasn't the first time their household was disrupted; they once had issues with water entering their basement years ago. Acknowledging the distress it caused the homeowner, our approach began with sending a System Design Specialist to carefully assess the situation. Taking pride in our comprehensive evaluation, we discovered that the ideal solution to reinforce and stabilize their foundation would be to install our PowerBrace system. Favored for its reliability and efficiency, PowerBrace offers a solid reprieve from foundation woes. The installation process was both systematic and respectful. Our production team, comprising a foreman and well-trained installers, arrived at the residence ready to tackle the challenge head-on. They meticulously installed the PowerBrace system, ensuring that each beam was securely in place for maximum foundation support. As part of our assurance of a remarkable customer experience, we made it a point to leave the residence as clean and untroubled as we found it, minus the foundation worry, of course. The homeowner’s relief was palpable once the job was completed. No longer would they fret over the health of their foundation; thanks to PowerBrace, their home stands on more stable ground. Stories like these are what inspire us at Adirondack Basement Systems. 

Recently, we helped a homeowner in Ballston Lake, NY, who was struggling with persistent water intrusion in their basement following some heavy rains and snowmelt. They reached out to us at Adirondack Basement Systems because water was seeping in where the cement met the foundation outside – a common issue during thawing and rainfall.

Our process began with a phone call to our customer service representative, followed by an inspection by our sales team expert. After a thorough evaluation, it was clear that the problem needed attention with targeted waterproofing solutions.

To tackle the issue, our production team delivered a bespoke approach, featuring the CleanSpace system, SaniDry Sedona, and the TripleSafe Sump Pump. The CleanSpace system provided the home with premium crawl space encapsulation, effectively transforming their previously musty area into a dry, more resilient space. This helped to stabilize the environment downstairs, preventing the kind of undesirable conditions that encourage mold and odors.

The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier reinforced these efforts, controlling any remaining humidity to safeguard the air quality and prevent potential allergens from affecting the home's atmosphere upstairs. For precipitation management, the TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed. With three layers of protection, even during power cuts, it added a robust additional safeguard against potential water damage.

After our team completed the installation and ensured thorough cleanup, the homeowner reported a noticeable difference. Their basement shifted from being a damp headache into a dry, secure environment, giving the homeowner peace of mind, knowing their investment was properly protected. 

In Ballston Spa, NY, a homeowner faced an all-too-familiar issue: uneven concrete steps leading up to their home. Wanting to restore their curb appeal before showing their home to potential buyers, they reached out to us at Adirondack Basement Systems. Their steps had settled over time, causing concern not only in terms of appearance but also as a potential tripping hazard.

Our process began with our Customer Care Specialist scheduling a convenient time for a home inspection. A seasoned System Design Specialist then visited the home to carefully evaluate the situation. The solution was clear: our PolyLevel and NexusPro systems would give lasting results.

We dispatched our experienced production team, who drilled pea-sized holes into the concrete slabs and injected a high-strength polyurethane foam using our PolyLevel system. This foam expanded underneath, lifting and leveling the steps quickly and precisely. The homeowner watched as their steps returned to their proper placement, blending seamlessly with the surrounding concrete.

But we didn’t stop there. To prevent future water damage and soil erosion—common culprits of concrete settling—we used NexusPro Joint Sealant. This efficient sealant filled joints and cracks, protecting the concrete against water infiltration while enhancing the look with a professional, clean finish.

By the end of the day, the concrete steps were not only level but robust enough to weather the elements year-round. For the homeowner preparing to sell, we've not only repaired a problem but added value to their property in a reliable, lasting way. Adirondack Basement Systems delivers tangible outcomes, ensuring homeowners feel confident and satisfied with each step we fix.
