Foundation Repair Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing and Stabilization Project Completed in Buffalo, NY

Debby and Bill had three main problems in their basement. Multiple walls were beginning to bow and had large stair-stepping cracks, water was seeping all over their basement floor, and their current sump pump was not working properly. So Frank’s Basement Systems came out to help this couple with their basement by installing I-Beams for wall stabilization, the WaterGuard drainage system to capture any moisture seepage, and upgrading their sump to a SuperSump Plus. Now, Debby and Bill’s basement is protected against water intrusion and stabilized, leaving this couple with a newfound peace of mind about their home!

Bowing Foundation Walls

This was just how one of multiple walls in Debby and Bill's basement looked. These large horizontal or stair-step-like cracks are clear indicators that a more significant structural issue is affecting the home's foundation.

Water Seepage Across Basement Floor

Water had seeped in, leaving puddles and stains across their basement floor. Having water intrusion in your home can lead to degradation of floors and walls, mold growth, and an overall unhealthy basement environment!

Unreliable Sump Pump

This old sump pump in Debby and Bill's basement couldn't keep up with all the water seeping in. It would often overflow all over their basement floor, leaving a disaster in its wake!

Wall Stabilization System Installed

The large stair-stepping cracks indicated it was bowing or slowly pushing inward. To stabilize these walls and prevent further inward movement, I-Beams were securely installed against each wall per a third-party engineer's drawing.

Advanced Interior Drainage Solution

Water seepage on Debby and Bill's basement floor won't be a concern once the WaterGuard drainage system is installed along the perimeter of their basement. This interior drainage system will capture any moisture seepage and direct it down and into the sump.

Effective Sump Pump Solution

Water all over the basement is no longer a concern for Debby and Bill after the SuperSump Plus was installed. This system features a powerful Zoeller cast-iron pump that reliably handles large volumes of water!
