Byron, NY Experienced Basement Waterproofing Contractors

Brad was struggling with water in his basement every time it rained. He knew that the water had to be coming in from somewhere but couldn't find the source. So he looked online to see who could help him get to the bottom of this issue and found our team here at Frank's Basement Systems. We came out and evaluated the situation to see where the water was coming from and how we could prevent it from continuing to happen.

The tailored solution we came up with for Brad was a combination of installing the WaterGuard drainage system, the CleanSpace wall system, and upgrading his old sump to a more effective one that a dehumidifier could drain into. The CleanSpace Wall System will create an effective vapor barrier that works to direct any moisture seeping into the basement down to the WaterGuard installed below. The WaterGuard then directs any collected water into the upgraded SuperSump Plus system. This sump pump features a powerful cast-iron pump capable of pumping up to 2,220 gallons of water per hour. Finally, we added in a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This small but powerful dehumidifier was installed as well to help eliminate the mugginess and will then drain directly into the sump pump, meaning no trips down to the basement are needed to empty a tray!

After this full system was installed, Brad no longer had to worry about what would happen in his basement when the next rainstorm came. Frank's Basement Systems is happy that we were able to come in and provide a permanent solution that left this homeowner with relief!

We've all heard horror stories of what water intrusion can do to homes, and that's exactly what our South Byron, NY, homeowner was facing. During every rainstorm, water would seep into the basement, creating a host of concerns from potential mold growth to structural damage. When they reached out to us at Frank's Basement Systems, they were looking for a solution that was not only effective but long-lasting.

Our team began by scheduling a home inspection with one of our skilled Design Specialists. Through a thorough assessment, the root cause of the problem was quickly diagnosed, setting the path for an impactful solution. We recommended a comprehensive basement waterproofing system tailored precisely for the homeowner's needs. The solution comprised several effective components.

First, our CleanSpace encapsulation, renowned for its durability, tackled the basement's moisture issue by applying a high-quality vapor barrier shield across the space. This helped create a clean foundation, effectively blocking moisture. Next, we installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump system, offering triple protections with a main pump, a high-capacity supplementary pump, and an efficient battery backup, all encased within one unique system. This triple safeguard ensures continuous operation, even during power outages or heavy rainfall. Integrating seamlessly with the sump pump was our WaterGuard drainage system, which channels unwanted water away from foundation walls directly into the sump basin, effectively keeping the basement dry.

Finally, the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was set up to maintain optimal humidity levels, defeating mold growth and musty odors, contributing to a healthier, more comfortable living environment. Thanks to our system, the South Byron basement now stands as a dry, usable space that brings newfound peace of mind to the homeowner. Reliable, efficient, and unobtrusive—the system quietly ticks away, keeping their home safe from water intrusion.

When Chris E. wanted a new support system for his old farmhouse in Byron, New York, he called the experts at Frank's Basements for help. Since Chris noticed the floors above his basement sagging, our Design Specialist, Kyle, recommended that we install our SmartJack steel beams, which can stabilize the floors and return them to their original position! Better yet, these beams can be tightened with annual maintenance. Chris can now feel confident in his new basement support system.

This homeowner was experiencing moisture and dampness in his basement and wanted it taken care of. The basement was soon to be a living space, so ensuring it stays dry is a priority. Our team proposed installing our WaterGuard drainage system along the perimeter of the basement, and connect that system to a sump pump to collect any water from the foundation, preventing it to seep into the basement itself.

This homeowner noted there was a musty smell coming from his crawl space, along with moisture issues down there. The crawl space was concrete and about 2 feet tall. Our team has a variety of methods and products that can help! We could encapsulate this crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier and protect it. To combat the moisture, mold, and smells, installing a SaniDry Dehumidifier is best!
