Professional Basement Waterproofing and Foundation Specialists in Amherst, NY

Kathy had sump pumps in her basement but still struggled with water problems. She called Frank's Basement Systems for an assessment on her basement. Mike visited her Tonawanda home and inspected the current system. He came up with a way to protect her basement while still using her existing system.

WaterGuard interior drainage was installed around the interior perimeter of the basement. The system was then connected to the existing sump pumps to remove water from the basement. 

After a few days, Kathy's basement is now totally protected against water!

Barbara had a leaking crack in her foundation wall which led to a puddle on the floor during heavy rains. She had no sump pump or drainage in the basement of her Amherst home and wanted a permanent solution. Rick visited her home and designed a system to address all of her concerns. 

1. Rick's solution involved addressing water from the walls and floor with a complete waterproofing system of WaterGuard interior drainage and BrightWall panels. These systems work together to ensure water never reaches the basement. To remove the water from the WaterGuard, a SuperSump Plus sump pump system was installed to pump all the water up and out of the home. 

Joe was advised by a home inspector to have his crawl space checked out by a professional. He called Frank's Basement Systems for a free estimate on repairs. Donnie inspected the crawl space and designed a solution for Joe's home to give him a clean, dry crawl space.

The first part of Joe's solution was to repair the cracks in the poured wall. Xypex was applied to the six cracks to seal out water leaks. Next was the installation of 90 feet of SmartPipe drainage and a SmartSump sump pump system. These systems work together to collect and remove water from the crawl space. Dimpled drainage matting and a CleanSpace vapor barrier were installed across the floor and walls of the crawl space to seal out moisture and prevent water from pooling. 

These systems together will keep Joe's crawl space clean and dry for years to come. 

Joe had had enough of the water in his basement. He called Frank's Basement Systems for a free estimate on a permanent basement waterproofing solution.

Frank visited his Amherst home and inspected the basement. He designed a system to prevent water from entering the basement again. This new system included WaterGuard interior drainage, BrightWall paneling, and a 1/3 horsepower Zoeller sump pump. The WaterGuard and BrightWall work together to stop water from leaking into the basement. The sump pump removes all water from the WaterGuard. 

In just one day Joe's basement is permanently waterproof thanks to Frank's Basement Systems.

Jeff had some concerns about the horizontal cracks in the foundation of his Amherst home. He called Frank's Basement Systems for a free, no obligation estimate on a permanent repair. Dave visited Jeff's home and inspected the areas of concern. 

Six super strong CarbonArmor bands were installed along the failing wall. These carbon fiber bands are designed to prevent further movement in the wall and can easily be covered when finishing a basement.

The Frank's Basement Systems installation crew had all CarbonArmor bands installed in just one day.

Beverly had 5 cracks in her foundation walls that were causing her concern. She called Frank's Basement Systems for an estimate on a permanent solution. Frank inspected the cracks and determined three of the five required more extensive repairs.

All the cracks were filled with a Xypex crystalline repair to prevent water leaking through. The Xypex reacts with water and forms a crystal within the cracks and pores of the concrete to block water permanently.

The three more severe cracks required CarbonArmor stitches as part of the repair. These carbon fiber strips will prevent the walls from separating and the cracks from getting larger.

After one day of work, Beverly's foundation cracks were permanently repaired.

Sonya's Amherst home had an old, inefficient sump pump which led to water pooling in one area of the basement. She decided to call Frank's Basement Systems for a new system.

Frank visited Sonya's home and reviewed her options with her. They decided a new sump pump system and a repair to the crack in the poured concrete wall. The old sump pump was replaced with a 1/3 horsepower Zoeller sump pump and supplemented with a battery back up sump pump. The crack was repaired with Xypex which crystallizes when it comes in contact with water and prevents it from entering the basement. 

Sonya's home is now protected against water, even during power outages.

All of these great products together will keep Eric's home protected and stable.
