Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: A Wet And Musty Basement Completely Transformed Down in Hilton, NY Home

David and Kristen had let the issue in their basement brew for years. It started off with just a bit of water here and there. But slowly, over time, it took over the entire space, creating an unhealthy environment neither of them wanted to deal with. Kristen was done dreading every trip downstairs just to do laundry. It had become too big a task to handle on their own, so they called in Frank's Basement Systems for help. See how we completely transformed David and Kristen's wet basement, once overtaken by mold and algae, into a space you'd hardly recognize!

Dark and Musty Basement Corners

Along the edges and deep in the corners of David and Kristen's basement, a wet, moldy problem had taken over. Water seepage had festered for too long, allowing dark mold to grow and thrive wherever it could.

Something Green Was Growing

In other parts of the basement, standing water would catch the light streaming through the windows, creating the perfect conditions for algae to start growing right on the floor. The color may have looked cool, but having that happening right beneath their home definitely was not!

Plugged and Overflowing Sump Pump

And that sump pump David and Kristen had? It didn't help much in keeping their basement dry. The old pump inside hadn't kicked on in who knows how long, letting water build up and overflow all over the floor.

Basement Walls Transformed

Before we started, David and Kristen hired a professional service to clean the space. They removed all traces of mold and algae, leaving our crew with a clean, healthy space to kick off the transformation. We started with BrightWall across every basement wall to create a bright, effective moisture barrier!

Adding In More Supports

Beyond the water issues, David and Kristen were also dealing with some support issues in their basement. By installing several SmartJacks, we stabilized the joists above, putting an end to the saggy, bouncy floors for good!

Triple the Protection For A Dry Basement

David and Kristen replaced their old sump pump system with a TripleSafe! They didn't just want a great sump pump they wanted one that was extra reliable. Thanks to the three pumps inside, including one with battery backup, they got exactly what they needed!

Clean and Dry Air

Musty, muggy air filled with dust mites and mold spores won't be a concern for this couple anymore! Now they've got clean, fresh air, thanks to the SaniDry Sedona. This powerful dehumidifier wrings moisture straight out of the air while also working double duty as an air purifier!

Newly Laid Flooring

Those stained floors won't be making a reappearance either, now that the ElitePlank flooring system is in place! It was the final touch that gave David and Kristen's basement a semi-finished look. And since it's designed specifically for basements, it'll hold up even if moisture ever becomes an issue again!
