When Eric B. noticed water seepage in his basement in Elma, New York, he called Frank's for help. Eric wasn't sure why he experienced water seepage when he already had a sump pump in his basement. Our Design Specialist, Mike, came in and inspected Eric's basement. He determined that Eric's old sump pump system was no long working properly and recommended upgrading to our SuperSump Plus system, which can effectively remove up to 2,240 gallons of water per hour from Eric's basement. Not only that, but this patented sump pump system is also encased in a shell that contains about 100 inlet holes to allow for ground water seepage. Eric can now have peace of mind and a dry basement!

Homeowner Liz, from Elma, NY, noticed various cracks along her wall that began to leak whenever it rained. She was lacking a sump pump system, causing her to clean up the puddles with rags and towels! This is when she knew she needed a solution. With almost 40 years of experience, we had the perfect solution.

Our crew came in and first, filled the cracks with our Xypex sealant. Xypex is a flexible, crystalline solution that hardens upon contact with water. This allows the sealant to harden all the way to the source of the water seepage to stop the flow of water. Since the sealant is flexible, if the crack were to continue to expand, the Xypex solution would expand with it.

Our crew also installed our patented SuperSump Plus sump pump system. Our SuperSump Plus is powerful as it contains a 1/3 horsepower cast-iron Zoeller pump capable of discharging up to 2,600 gallons of water per hour. It features a sump liner with 100 3/8-inch holes to capture ground water seepage, but also two larger holes for a drainage system to flow into it. It also features a floor drain built into the lid and an alarm system, just in case water flows past the pump's float.

Steve, a homeowner in Elma, NY, noticed a crack leaking water into his basement under his window. Our team came in and installed Xypex, a crystalline solution that hardens upon contact with water. Xypex also acts as a flexible sealant - if the crack were to continue to expand, the Xypex would expand with it. Steve can feel confident that no more water will come from this crack in his wall!

This homeowner in Elma, NY, called in because she noticed a lot of water seepage coming both her wall and her floor. Our crew came in and installed Xypex, a solution that crystallizes upon contact with water.

This homeowner no longer has to worry about water seepage from their walls!

Jim had cracks in his poured concrete basement walls that were leaking water. The water was damaging the insulation on the walls. Jim knew he needed it fixed fast so he called Frank's Basement Systems. 

Mike visited Jim's home and inspected the crack. Since the two ways the crack could be repaired would be a Xypex injection or FlexiSpan repair system.

Since the crack was not actively leaking on installation day, Jamie was able to use the FlexiSpan system to repair the crack. The FlexiSpan system consists of a thin strip of foam covered by a waterproof sealant and a small drainage cove at the base of the wall.

The crack is now permanently sealed and will no longer leak. 

Andrew had already finished a living space and wanted to bring everything up to code, which meant he had to have an egress window installed. After talking to a few friends about their recommendations, he decided to call Frank's Basement Systems for a free, no obligation estimate.

Frank Nati visited Andrew's home and confirmed an egress window would be installed with minimal disruption to the already finished space. 

While it can be scary having someone cut a hole in your foundation to put a window in, Eric and his crew are always very careful to not damage anything. After a few days of work, Andrew had a crank out window with Rockwell window well and cover. In the event of an emergency, the window can be opened quickly, and the combination of the steps on the window well and lightweight cover make an escape easy for everyone, including children. 

In addition to being safer, Andrew's basement living space is now up to building code and can be included in the square footage of the house.

Don had insulation on his basement walls in the hopes of warming up his basement. Unfortunately, his basement wall cracked and let water in. Now that his insulation was ruined, he decided it was time to look into having the crack repaired. Don called Frank's Basement Systems for a free, no obligation estimate.

Joe Johnson visited Don's home to inspect the crack. He recommended our patented FlexiSpan crack repair system as a permanent solution to the problem.

The 3 components of the FlexiSpan system ensure water never makes it through the wall again. A urethane sealant applied directly to the crack, a foam strip to absorb any water coming through, and another urethane sealant over the foam strip makes it impossible for even water vapor to get through.

With his wall crack triple-sealed, Don can rehang his insultation with the confidence in knowing it will stay clean and dry.
