Impressive Waterproofing Basements and Repairing Crawl Spaces in Hilton, NY

When Teresa M., from Hilton, New York, grew concerned over water leaking into her crawl space, she called the crawl space encapsulation and repair experts at Frank's Basement Systems for some help. To rid the crawl space of water, our crew installed our powerful SuperSump Plus system to remove the water from Teresa's crawl space. Our SuperSump system can remove water at a rate of 2,240 gallons per hour, effectively keeping Teresa's crawl space dry no matter how hard it rains! Teresa can now have peace of mind and a dry crawl space for years to come.

Homeowner Paul, from Hilton, NY, called in when he noticed dampness around his basement walls as well as mold growth, but he didn't see any cracks. Our team came in and installed the best solution for basement waterproofing. First, we installed our patented WaterGuard drainage system that will never clog, leading to our powerful TripleSafe sump pump, that offers three layers of protection against water: a 1/3 horsepower primary cast-iron Zoller pump that can discharge water at a rate of 2,600 gallons per hour, a 1/2 horsepower backup cast-iron Zoller pump that can discharge water at a rate of 6,200 gallons per hour, and a battery backup, which can switch on just in case the power goes out. We also installed our inorganic BrightWall wall panels, which are not susceptible to water or mold damage and can brighten an entire basement with their white color, and a patented, award-winning SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which can circulate air at a rate of 300 square feet per minute, giving Paul the cleanest air available for his basement. Paul can feel confident in a dry basement with clean air.

We met this homeowner from Hilton, NY, at the Rochester Home Show back in 2023. After letting us know they were not going to have any work done on their basement at the time, we followed up a few months later to ask if they were still interested - and they were! This homeowner completely waterproofed their basement with Frank's, as they had us install an UltraSump sump pump system, as well as an Egress window to both waterproof and bring more light into their basement. Topped off with a SaniDry Sedona, this homeowner will live both water and moisture-free!

This homeowner in Hilton, NY called in because the foundation of their old home was beginning to crumble and their walls started pushing inwards. Our crew came to the rescue and gave this homeowner new walls with our StableLock wall replacement - a smooth, strong wall created using modern concrete forming and shoring methods. StableLock has the best qualities of a newly-constructed basement wall.

Mary, a homeowner from Hilton, NY, had been noticing dampness and water seepage in her basement during heavy rainstorms. Concerned about the potential for water damage and mold growth, she decided it was time to address the issue and sought professional help. That's when she reached out to Frank's Basement Systems.

Within a few days, the Frank's Basement Systems team arrived at Mary's home to inspect her basement. They carefully examined the area and identified the source of the water issues. After discussing their findings with Mary, they proposed a comprehensive waterproofing solution to keep her basement dry and well-protected.

To effectively address the water seepage problem, the team recommended the installation of 29 feet of perforated pipe, also known as a French drain system. This drainage system would help to divert water away from the basement's foundation, preventing it from entering and causing further damage. The perforated pipe would efficiently collect excess water and direct it towards a suitable drainage outlet. With the project complete, Mary was delighted with the results. She no longer had to worry about water seepage during rainy days, and her basement was now a dry and usable space. 

When Christine noticed a musty smell in her Hilton, NY home and experienced increased humidity in certain areas, she knew it was time to address the issue. Concerned about potential moisture problems in her crawlspace, she decided to take action and reached out to Frank's Basement Systems for help.

A few days later, the Frank's Basement Systems team arrived at Christine's property. They conducted a thorough inspection of the crawlspace, confirming her suspicions about the presence of excess moisture and dampness. After discussing the findings with Christine, the team outlined a comprehensive plan to resolve the issue and enhance the overall health of her home.

To ensure a dry and comfortable crawlspace, the Frank's Basement Systems crew proposed the installation of 156 feet of CleanSpace, a durable and vapor barrier designed to keep moisture at bay. This barrier would prevent water vapor from seeping into the crawlspace and protect it from mold and rot.

To further improve the crawlspace's functionality, they suggested installing 156 feet of Drainage Matting. This innovative material would facilitate water drainage and enhance airflow, reducing the chances of standing water and moisture accumulation.

To bolster the crawlspace's insulation, the team proposed adding 156 feet of SilverGlo, a highly efficient foam board insulation that would create a thermal barrier, helping to regulate temperatures and keep the space comfortable throughout the year.

With the CleanSpace, Drainage Matting, and SilverGlo in place, Christine noticed an immediate difference in the air quality of her home. The musty smell disappeared, and the humidity levels stabilized, making her living space much more comfortable and healthy.

Mary E. has a partially finished basement that would suffer heavily from rain and snow seepage in the colder months of the year. Mary could not figure out WHERE in the world this water was creeping in from! She had a working sump pump and couldn't see any fractures or issues with her drain tile - so where could it possibly be coming from!? Tired of constantly mopping up water, Mary gave the experts at Frank's Basement Systems a call for a free estimate and inspection. Mike Barnes Jr. arrived at Mary's home and could tell right away that her Sump Pump was not only damaged, but significantly outdated.

The Frank's team replaced Mary's Sump Pump with a 1/3hp Zoeller Sump Pump and installed new perforated pipe to allow to streamlined interior drainage to the external bubbler system across the street from Mary's house!

Mary can now rest assured knowing her basement will remain dry no matter what conditions the weather brings!
