Professional Basement Waterproofing and Foundation Specialists in North Collins, NY

Denise, from North Collins, NY, noticed a lot of water seeping into her basement from the walls whenever it rained. Our Design Specialist, Russell, went out to Denise's property to inspect her home's interior drainage system. After inspection, Russell noticed that Denise's current drainage system was not enough to combat the amount of water that she was getting. Our crew came out and installed an interior drainage system with our perforated piping leading to a TripleSafe sump pump. Our TripleSafe sump pump offers three layers of protection:

1) Primary pump: A 1/3 horsepower cast-iron Zoeller pump that can remove up to 2,240 gallons of water per hour

2) Secondary pump: A 1/2 horsepower cast-iron Zoeller pump that can remove up to 6,200 gallons of water per hour. This pump is activated if there is either an influx of water that rises above the primary pump's float, or if the primary pump fails

3) Backup pump: Our backup sump pump, called the UltraSump, has a capacity of 12,000 gallons of water. It functions similarly to the primary pump and will only activate if both pumps fail, or if there is a power outage.

Lastly, our crew installed BrightWall panels around Denise's walls, to channel any water seepage directly to her drainage system to be removed through the sump pump. These various layers of protection will ensure that Denise never witnesses a wet basement again.

Our team laid down our CleanSpace vapor barrier in this North Collins, NY crawl space recently to not only make it look cleaner, but protect the space from moisture!

Donna, a homeowner in North Collins, NY, had been increasingly concerned about the structural stability of her basement. Sagging floors, visible cracks, and an overall sense of instability had become major worries for her. Determined to address these issues, Donna decided to reach out to Frank's Basement Systems. On the scheduled day, a team of experienced professionals from Frank's Basement Systems arrived at Donna's residence to inspect her basement. They meticulously examined the areas of concern, focusing on the sagging floors, cracks, and other signs of structural damage. To provide structural support to the sagging floors and address the underlying issues, the team proposed the installation of 10 SmartJack XT systems. SmartJack XT is an advanced support system designed to lift and stabilize sagging or damaged floor joists, ensuring that the floors regain their original level and stability. To reinforce the floor joists and provide additional support, the team recommended the installation of 22 Joist Assist Brackets. These brackets would help distribute the load evenly and prevent further sagging. To address concerns about the overall stability of the basement, the team suggested the installation of one 2x10 SPF Beam. This beam would provide essential support to the structure, ensuring that it remained solid and secure. To replace deteriorated or damaged joists and further reinforce the structural integrity, the team recommended the installation of 73 feet of Joist Replacements. This would involve replacing compromised joists with new, sturdy ones. With the installation complete and the structural reinforcements in place, Donna's basement was now effectively secured, and her concerns about sagging floors and structural damage were addressed. She was delighted with the prompt and professional service she received from Frank's Basement Systems.

Virginia had struggled with water in her basement for a long time. She decided to call Frank's Basement Systems for a free estimate on waterproofing her basement. Joe Johnson visited her home and designed a custom solution for Virginia's home.

The first step was to install WaterGuard drainage around the perimeter of basement. The WaterGuard would catch any water trying to enter the basement or water from a plumbing leak.

The next step was the installation of the CleanSpace wall system. The heavyweight antimicrobial plastic will prevent water from entering through the basement walls and inhibit mold growth.

The last step was a new SuperSump sump pump. The sealed lid on the sump pump liner prevents water vapor from escaping the liner and also prevents debris from falling in.

Virginia's new system will keep her basement dry from now on!

Maureen had a bowing wall in her basement that was allowing water to leak into her basement. Besides the structural concerns, she wanted to keep her basement dry. She decided to call Frank's for a free, no obligation estimate on both her structural concerns and waterproofing her basement.

Rick Pilarski visited Maureen's home and performed his inspection. Due to the severity of the bowing in the wall, his solution was to have the 20 feet of wall replaced.
