Professional Basement Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Contractor in Depew

Eve P., from Depew, New York, noticed water leaking into her basement whenever it rained. After looking around for expert basement waterproofers, she came across Frank's Basement Systems. When our Production Manager, Mike, went out to Eve's home for a free appointment, he determined that Eve's water seepage was caused from a backflow of water in her clogged drainage system.

To remedy this, our crew came in and installed a new drainage system with our perforated piping system. This draintile will never rot or clog due to its inorganic structure. Eve can now have peace of mind and a dry basement year round!

Homeowner Michael, from Depew, NY, called into Frank's when a vertical crack in his basement wall started leaking whenever it rained. To remedy this, our crew came in and installed our Xypex crystalline solution that hardens upon contact with water to form a cement-like filling for the crack. Additionally, Xypex is a flexible sealant, so if the crack were to continue to widen, the sealant would expand with it.

Dan, a homeowner from Depew, NY, called Frank's when he noticed water leaking into his basement during heavy rain. Not only that, but his drain tile stopped working. Our crew came in and first, replaced Dan's drain tile with our perforated piping drainage system, which effectively captures ground water seepage and does not clog, allowing for the best water flow to the sump pump. Second, our crew installed our powerful and long-lasting SuperSump sump pump system, which can remove up to 2,240 gallons of water from the basement per hour with its 1/3 horsepower pump. The SuperSump also features an air-tight sump lid with both a floor drain and an alarm system, so Dan will be always notified if his sump pump is about to overflow.

Homeowner Alex, from Depew, NY, noticed water seeping into his basement from the joint where the floor and wall met. Alex had an existing sump pump, but no drainage system to properly channel the water seepage to his sump pump. Our crew went out and installed perimeter draintile around Alex's basement, so that any water seepage would flush directly out through his sump pump. Alex can now have peace of mind with a dry basement year round.

Alison from Depew, NY, called Frank's when she noticed water leaking into her basement from her basement walls. She couldn't tell if there were any fractures, but she wanted a permanent solution to keep water away from her basement floor. As trusted experts with almost 40 years of experience, Alison called the right place. Our crew came in and first, installed our patented WaterGuard drainage system which will never clog and is nearly invisible once installed. Next, since Alison had a working sump pump, we installed our UltraSump battery backup sump pump, just in case Alison's power went out. This patented system can remove up to 12,000 gallons of water on a fully-charged battery! Safe to say water will never touch Alison's floor again.

This homeowner from Depew, NY, came up to us at the Buffalo Home Show and let us know that they had water seeping in through a crack under their basement window. Our crew went out to this homeowner's home and installed Xypex, a crystalline solution that hardens upon contact with water. This solution also expands, so if the crack were to continue to expand, the Xypex would expand with it.

Dawn, a homeowner from Depew, NY, had been facing persistent water infiltration issues in her basement during heavy rains. Concerned about potential water damage and the impact on her home's foundation, she decided it was time to take proactive measures. On the scheduled day, a team of experienced professionals from Frank's Basement Systems arrived at Dawn's residence to inspect her basement. They carefully examined the areas prone to water infiltration and identified potential sources of the issue. 

To address potential water infiltration from the exterior side of the basement, the team proposed the installation of 95 feet of PVC for exterior drainage. This PVC drainage system would be strategically placed along the perimeter of the basement to collect and direct water away from the foundation. This exterior drainage system would help keep the basement dry and well-protected. To ensure the effective removal of water from the interior side of the basement, the team recommended the installation of 1 SuperSump Plus. The SuperSump Plus is a powerful sump pump system designed to efficiently remove water from the basement and keep it dry. For added protection and redundancy, the team also suggested the installation of 1 UltraSump. The UltraSump is a battery backup sump pump system that provides an extra layer of defense against potential water intrusion during power outages or in cases where the primary pump is overwhelmed.

With the installation complete, Dawn's basement was now fortified against potential water infiltration and damage. She was delighted with the prompt and professional service she received from Frank's Basement Systems.

Back in March of 2022, Tami had a sump pump installed by a local plumbing company unassociated with Frank's Basement Systems. With all the snow that came this winter, her sump pump was constantly working to account for the melting snowfall. Unfortunately, as time went on, Tami began to notice a crunching sound coming from her sump pump, that almost sounded like gravel was being sucked into the system. Nervous that something was wrong, Tami reached out to Frank's Basement Systems for a free estimate and inspection. Michael was on the scene in no time - a Triple Safe Sump Pump system was installed, allowing Tami to rest assured, knowing her sump pump will work exactly how it should.

Linda had struggled with water in her basement for some time. Her sump pump just wasn't cutting it so she decided to call Frank's Basement Systems for a custom solution. 

Frank visited her home and recommended WaterGuard interior drainage and a new SuperSump Plus sump pump. The WaterGuard was connected directly to the SuperSump plus to get and keep water out of the basement. A WaterWatch alarm was installed on the sump pump lid to alert Linda if her basement ever flooded.

Water doesn't stand a chance in Linda's basement now that Frank's Basement Systems has waterproofed it!
