Durable Basement and Foundation Repairs in Wilson, NY

Erin, a homeowner in Wilson, NY, experienced a vertical fracture that went about half the length of the wall. The fracture was leaking enough water for puddles to form at the base of the wall, where the wall met the floor. Our crews came out and installed Xypex, a crystalline solution that hardens into crystals upon contact with water to form an impermeable barrier. Erin will never experience water seepage from this fracture again.

Kelli, a concerned homeowner from Wilson, NY, had been noticing signs of water intrusion and dampness in her basement for some time. Worried about potential water damage and the overall structural integrity of the space, she decided it was time to take action. After hearing positive reviews from neighbors and friends, she called Frank's Basement Systems. On the scheduled day, a team of experienced professionals from Frank's Basement Systems arrived at Kelli's home. They carefully assessed the basement, examining the areas of concern related to water infiltration and potential structural problems. Kelli expressed her desire for a complete solution that would not only address waterproofing but also assess and fortify the structural integrity of the space.

For basement waterproofing, the team recommended the installation of 638 feet of CleanSpace, a durable and vapor-resistant liner that would help keep the basement free from moisture and potential water seepage. To enhance the effectiveness of the CleanSpace, 638 feet of Drainage Matting was also suggested. This material would create an efficient pathway for any water to flow to the designated drainage system, keeping the basement dry even during heavy rains. To address the concerns about potential structural issues, the team recommended the installation of 102 feet of CleanSpace Wall, which would act as a barrier to further protect the basement from water vapor and humidity. Moreover, this would contribute to overall improved air quality in the space. To address any existing or potential foundation settlement, the team proposed the installation of 4 SmartJacks. These adjustable steel support posts would stabilize the basement's foundation, providing additional structural support where needed and helping to alleviate any concerns about uneven floors or sagging.

Upon completion, Kelli's basement was transformed into a clean, dry, and structurally sound space. She was delighted with the results and had peace of mind knowing that her home and belongings were now well-protected.

When Eric, a homeowner from Wilson, NY, noticed signs of water seepage in his basement during heavy rains, he knew he had to take immediate action to protect his property and belongings. Worried about potential water damage and mold growth, he decided to call Frank's Basement Systems. On the day of the inspection, a team of experienced professionals from Frank's Basement Systems arrived at Eric's home to assess the situation. They carefully examined the basement and identified the areas prone to water intrusion. After a thorough evaluation, they presented Eric with a tailored solution to address his specific waterproofing needs.

The proposed plan included the installation of a comprehensive waterproofing system to keep his basement dry and protected. It involved the use of high-quality materials and cutting-edge technology to ensure long-lasting results. The team recommended 74 feet of perforated pipe for interior drainage, which would efficiently collect and channel water away from the basement, preventing any pooling or flooding. To further enhance the waterproofing system's efficiency, they suggested the installation of 74 feet of Foamax insulation. This material acts as a thermal and moisture barrier, providing added protection and insulation for the basement, reducing the risk of condensation and mold growth. 

Recognizing the importance of a reliable sump pump system, Frank's Basement Systems recommended the TripleSafe sump pump for Eric's basement. This triple-pump system offered maximum protection with its primary pump, secondary pump, and battery backup pump, ensuring continuous operation even during power outages or extreme weather conditions. Additionally, the team proposed the installation of a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which would effectively control humidity levels in the basement, preventing dampness and musty odors. This would also contribute to improved air quality in the entire home. Upon completion, Eric's basement was transformed into a dry, comfortable, and protected space. He was relieved to know that his valuable possessions and the structural integrity of his home were now safeguarded from water damage and potential issues associated with excess moisture.

Sue's new system started with WaterGuard interior drainage being installed around the perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard, unlike most interior drainage systems, has inspection ports to all for easy cleaning and service of the system.

The next component installed was the CleanSpace vapor barrier on all the basement walls. This anti-microbial plastic wall system will prevent moisture from entering the basement and inhibit mold growth.

Sue constantly had water in the basement and crawl space of her Wilson home. Water consistently came up through the floor in both areas. She decided to call Frank's Basement Systems for a free, no obligation estimate. 

Dave visited her home and designed a custom solution for Sue. 

The first part of Sue's waterproofing system is the installation of a WaterGuard interior drainage system around the basement. WaterGuard interior drainage will catch water coming up from the ground, down the walls, and from the floor. It is specially designed to be easily cleaned and minimize clogs.

After the WaterGuard had been installed, SilverGlo insulation was installed in the crawl space and encapsulated with CleanSpace. The combination of SliverGlow insulation and the CleanSpace vapor barrier will keep the crawl space warm and dry which will in turn keep the whole house warmer and drier. The CleanSpace vapor barrier was also installed on the walls of the basement to seal out moisture. 

To round out Sue's new system, a SuperSump Plus sump pump system and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. The SuperSump Plus system has a 1/2 horsepower sump pump and 1/4 horsepower battery back up sump pump. This system will get the water up and out of Sue's basement. The Sanidry Sedona will take moisture out of the air to keep her basement air clean and fresh.

Sue's new system will keep her whole basement and crawl space dry 100% of the time. 

Mike and Elaine were frustrated with their basement always being wet. They decided to call Frank's Basement Systems for a free, no obligation quote on waterproofing their basement.

Rick Pilarski visited their home in Wilson, NY and inspected the basement. Because the house had a stone foundation, he knew it was susceptible to leaks and water vapor seeping through the walls. He recommended 130 feet of interior drainage, a 1/3 horsepower sump pump, and 120 feet of CleanSpace liner on the walls. 

The interior drainage provides an outlet for any water in the basement. The CleanSpace heavy duty antimicrobial plastic liner traps water coming through the walls and forces it down into the drainage system. The sump pump is connected to the drainage system to allow the water to be efficiently pumped up and out of the basement.
