Frank's Basement Systems serving Erie, NY

Regina decided to take down the paneling from the walls of her basement that had been there since she bought the house. They were peeling and sagging, so it seemed like the right time to finally tear them down and replace them with something nicer. Much to her surpise, the unsightly paneling was not her only problem. Years of moisture seeping through the walls had caused the blocks to crack, crumble, and shift. The sagging paneling was only a symptom of a much larger problem.

After checking local contractor reviews online, Regina decided to give Frank's a call for a free, no obligation estimate. Upon intitial inspection, Frank found more cracks than Regina initially thought. He recommended WaterGuard drainage around the perimeter of the basement, a TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and to repair the cracks in the walls.

After one day of digging, removing old clay drain pipes, and installation of our patented WaterGuard waterproofing system and TripleSafe sump pump system, Regina was well on her way to having a dry, usable basement.

Once all the concrete had hardened completely, Regina's walls were fixed and a new utility sink was installed by our plumbing division, Mr. Plumber. She could finally begin to use and enjoy her basement. 

Francis bought her home knowing it had a history of the basement flooding. While she had never seen it flood, she new there was a large amount of moisture in her basement at any given time. She decided to get a few quotes on what it would take to have a dry basement once and for all. One contractor told her they couldn't do the work she needed, but Frank's Basement Systems could.

She met with Ray Smith who recommended a multi part solution: drainage, wall panels, sump pump, and dehumidifier. 

The first step in her solution was to hang our patented BrightWall panels on all of her walls. BrightWall traps moisture coming through the wall and forces it down to the floor. More than that, it brightens your whole space and cleans with a wet rag. It will also never grow mold!

The second step was to install our patented WaterGuard drainage system around the entire basement. WaterGuard and BrightWall work together to keep water from entering your basement. The water trapped by the BrightWall flows down to the WaterGuard system and into step 3: the UltraSump sump pump.

The UltraSump system will pump any water coming from the WaterGuard system or from the floor (i.e. hot water tank leak) up and out of the basement.

The last step in Francis' solution was a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The SaniDry Sedona will remove 100 pints of water per day while using the same energy as a dehumidifier that only removes 40 pints per day.

No matter how water tries to come in, Francis is ready with her four part comprehensive solution from Frank's Basement Systems.

Alma had already had one of her foundation walls replaced in the past. Now it was time to have another one done. It had begun to fall inward and was only going to get worse. She called Frank's Basement Systems to come take a look.

Upon inspection, Rick agreed the only permanent solution for Alma was to have the entire wall replaced. The mortar had broken loose between the second and third layers of blocks causing the wall to buckle and fall inward.

The first step to a new wall is to remove the existing one. Our team placed jacks to support the weight of the house and began digging outside. Once the crew had dug down to the footer, they carefully took the wall down and removed all the old blocks. The wall was then rebuilt up to where the old wall had been. 

As an extra layer of protection, a waterproof membrane and dimple board were attached to protect the new wall.  

After seeing the finished work, Alma will be calling Frank's when it is time to replace the last wall!

Dan and Wendy had a sump pump in their basement, but still had persistent water problems. In hopes of finding an answer, they visited the Buffalo Home Show to talk to some professionals. After speaking with mutliple contractors regarding their wet basement, they decided to give Frank's a call.

While Dan and Wendy had been focusing on how to get the water in their basement out, they hadn't considered keeping it out in the first place. Our sales representative Mike Ciocca noticed their lawn was incredibly wet when performing his inspection. This indicated that there may be water seeping through the basement walls or finding its way in through improperly sealed windows or even wall cracks. A wet yard and a dry basement rarely coexisit. To solve this, exterior drainage was installed around the house to force water to drain away from the basement.

In addition to the exterior drainage, Mike decided interior drainage around the perimeter of their basement and a new 1/3 horsepower sump pump would be necessary to keep this basement 100% dry 100% of the time. Now any water that did make its way into the basement had an easy and effiecient way up, out, and away from the house.  

After 75 feet of exterior drainage, 54 feet of interior drainage, and a brand new sump pump, these homeowners could finally start to use and enjoy their basement.

Brent's house was built in the late 1800's and the years had taken their toll. The floors of his home had started to sag, so he wanted to find an economical solution and bring his floors back up where they belonged. He called Frank's Basement Systems for a free, no obligation quote on what it would take to fix his floors.

Frank Nati came out and inspected Brent's basement. Like many old houses, the supports for the floor had slowly sunk or broken and had caused the sagging Brent noticed. Frank recommended a jack post system be installed to help distribute the weight of the house from the old supports to new, heavy duty galvanized steel posts. 

Our crew led by Don Crist started by digging and concreting the floor where the posts and SmartJacks were going to be installed. This prevents the ground underneath from shifting and provides a sturdy base for the new supports. Then the team started measuring and cutting the heavy channel that would be used to distribute the weight of the house across the SmartJacks and posts. They channel was then lifted into place by the entire crew and supported by jack posts. Once the channel was secured, the SmartJack was installed near the basment wall to support the largest amount of weight. 

This process was repeated 4 times across the basement to provide even support across the whole basement. Call today to schedule your free, no obligation estimate for your permanent fix for your sagging floors.

Dan had some cracks in the basement walls of his Lake View home. As a result, water was leaking into his basement and reaching depths up to 2 inches. Dan decided to call Frank's Basement Systems and schedule his free, no obligation estimate.

Upon inspection, our representative found a total of 10 cracks leaking water into the basement. Left alone, the water would slowly cause the cracks to become wider and eventually pose a serious structural concern. A plan was formulated to fix the cracks once and for all. 

Dan's repair plan comprised of 3 parts: creating a path for water coming through the cracks to reach the sump pump, sealing the cracks, and covering the cracks. 

The floor was opened to confirm the existing drain tile was adequately draining water. Without properly functioning drain tile, water will continue to collect on the basement floor. The cracks were then sealed inside and out to stop as much water from coming through as possible. BrightWall paneling was then installed over the cracks to ensure any water that made its way through the cracks was trapped and forced down to the drain tile. 

After a week of work, Dan finally had a permanent solution to both his wall and flooding problems. Call today to schedule your free estimate!

As if a Buffalo winter doesn't present its own challenges, a car struck the corner of Daniel's house in the middle of January and caused serious structural damage. He contacted his insurance to file a claim for the broken wall, window, and floor joist. Once the paperwork had been taken care of, Daniel called Frank's Basement Systems for a free, no obligation estimate.

Mike Ciocca performed his inspection and designed a plan to return Daniel's home back to normal. His plan included rebuilding the broken wall from the footer up, installing support posts across the basement, and installing interior drainage. 

Because of the extent of the damage to the wall, the concrete floor had to be broken so the footer could be replaced. While the floor was open, 49 feet of interior drainage was placed around the perimeter of the basement and 2 floor drains. 

To help support the weight of the house, our crew installed a total of 7 support posts across the basement. These posts are installed into the concrete floor and will help take the weight of the house.

The cabinets and paneling were replaced and the basement looked better than it did before!

No matter the cause, Frank's Basement Systems will complete a free, no obligation estimate for all your basement concerns!

Over the years, Yvette had experienced repeat flooding in her basement. It typically happened when the drains at the street backed up and water typically reached ankle depth. Despite an unusually dry summer, she noticed her basement continued to flood. She needed a permanent solution to her problem before permanent damage was done. She decided enough was enough and called Frank's for a free, no obligation estimate.

Rick Pilarski performed his inspection of Yvette's basement and decided a 4 step solution was just what she needed.

The first step was install our patented WaterGuard drainage system around the entire 104 ft. perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard is specifically designed not become blocked with foreign matter. To ensure the system is flowing properly, inspection points were installed every few feet. 

The second step was to install BrightWall paneling on all the basement walls to trap water before it enters the basement. The patented BrightWall panels prohibit mold and mildew growth and clean with a wet rag. The panels trap the water and force it down into the WaterGuard system. 

The next step was the installation of our patented TripleSafe system including a 1/3 horse power primary pump, a 1/2 horse power back up pump, and a battery backup pump. The WaterGuard system runs into the TripleSafe system to be pumped up and out of the basement.  

The final step was to remove the water from the air with a patented SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Dry basement air is critical to the health of everyone in the home, and the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier removes moisture from the air more efficiently than any other dehumidifier on the market. 

Now Yvette never has to worry about her basement flooding again! Call us today to schedule your free, no obligation estimate!

Allen heard the words no homeowner wants to hear: your house is being condemned for structural failure. The foundation of his Buffalo home was no longer considered strong enough to support the weight of the home. After receiving this news, he decided to call Frank's Basement Systems in the hopes his home could be saved.

Rick Pilarski visited the home and performed his inspection. He found the walls leaning in and makeshift supports in the crawl space made out of cinder blocks and pieces of lumber. 

The answer to Allen's woes were helical piers. These piers were drilled down into the ground on the interior and exterior of the home. Brackets were installed to the footer of Allen's foundation and attached to the piers. The piers would now be taking the weight of the house instead of the foundation.

Thanks to the 23 long days of work by the Frank's team, Allen was able to keep his home and feel safe about its structure.

Nancy had been noticing water collecting on the floor of her finished basement. After removing the drywall and insulation, she was shocked to find a crack in her basement wall. She called Frank's to give her a free estimate on repairing the crack.

In order to repair the crack permanently, the floor below the crack was chipped out to ensure the existing drainage was functioning. The crack was cleaned out with water and a small drainage cove was installed below the crack. Xypex epoxy was inserted into the crack to stop water from coming through. As an additional layer of protection, our patented BrightWall paneling was installed over the crack down to the drainage cove to ensure no water could enter the basement through the crack.

Nancy was able to reinstall the insulation and drywall over the repair just like it was before. Call today to schedule your free, no obligation estimate on repairing the cracks in your basement walls. 

Jerry had noticed moisture in his crawl space and his living room floors were uneven.

Richard had noticed a crack in the basement wall of the house he was trying to sell. The crack was leaking water and he wanted it fixed in order to sell the house. He decided to call Frank's for a free, no obligation estimate on repairing the crack and stopping the leak.

Sean Kelley recommended our patented FlexiSpan crack repair system for a permanent solution. With the installation of a drywell, polyurethane sealant, secondary layer of drainage, and an overlay of another polyurethane sealant, the crack is sealed for good and water will not enter the basement again.

After a one-day repair by Frank's Basement Systems, Richard's house was now ready to be listed for sale!

Don had insulation on his basement walls in the hopes of warming up his basement. Unfortunately, his basement wall cracked and let water in. Now that his insulation was ruined, he decided it was time to look into having the crack repaired. Don called Frank's Basement Systems for a free, no obligation estimate.

Joe Johnson visited Don's home to inspect the crack. He recommended our patented FlexiSpan crack repair system as a permanent solution to the problem.

The 3 components of the FlexiSpan system ensure water never makes it through the wall again. A urethane sealant applied directly to the crack, a foam strip to absorb any water coming through, and another urethane sealant over the foam strip makes it impossible for even water vapor to get through.

With his wall crack triple-sealed, Don can rehang his insultation with the confidence in knowing it will stay clean and dry.

Keith was concerned about the crawl space in his Grand Island home. He had been doing some research about crawl space vents and wanted to know when/if he should have them open. He had also noticed evidence of rodent activity in his crawl space. Keith reached out to Frank's Basement Systems for a free, no obligation estimate and to get answers to his crawl space questions. 

Sean Kelley visited Keith's home and performed his inspection. His first recommendation was to close the vent covers immediately. Vented crawl spaces let in moisture and pests. Sealing the vents was the first step to resolving Keith's concerns. 

Next was to permanently waterproof the entire crawl space. Our patented SmartPipe drainage was installed around the entire crawl space. The SmartPipe output was connected to a SmartSump sump pump system to remove any water that enters the crawl space. 

The last step was the installation of patented CleanSpace drainage matting. The drainage matting will allow water to drain down into the SmartPipe or directly into the ground.

With the vent covers sealed and the entire crawl space waterproofed, Keith no longer has to worry about water or rodents in his crawl space.

With her new waterproofing system in place, Jamie can begin to enjoy her new basement without concern of coming home to water on the floor again.

Eugene's home had an addition built on that was built on a hill and was under supported. The addition had begun to sink and cause cracking in the walls upstairs. Eugene decided to call Frank's Basement Systems to see if there was a way to save his addition from falling down the hill.

Frank Nati inspected Eugene's crawl space and confirmed the house was sinking. Initially he wanted to install helical piers to support the addition, but due to the slope of the hill it would be unsafe to bring in the equipment needed to install them. After discussion with a professional engineer, it was determined that masonry piers would be a better avenue to stabilize the structure. He also recommended SmartJack posts be installed to lift the floor back up to where it belongs. 

Bob Farnsworth and his crew went to work installing the 6 masonry piers around the outside walls of the addition. These piers were pushed 4 feet into the ground into stable soil and attached to the foundation of the addition. Then they installed the SmartJack posts on concrete bases in the crawl space. 

Eugene could now breathe a sigh of relief with his addition safely secured at the top of the hill and his floors level again. Call us today to schedule your free, no obligation estimate today!

The first step was to address the sinking. A total of 5 helical piers were installed deep into stable soil and attached to the footer of the foundation. As an extra measure, 4 jack posts were installed to help support the weight of the wall that had settled the most. With the house now stabilized, the cracks inside the house could now be sealed. Due to the depth of the cracks, epoxy was injected deep into the two cracks to seal out water. 

With the foundation permanently fixed, Pat could now enjoy being a new homeowner!

Donna had water spots on her floor for as long as she could remember. If that wasn't enough, she also had water sitting in the doorway of her basement. Fed up with her moisture struggles, she asked around her friends and family to see who they recommended. Frank's was the name that kept coming up, so she called and scheduled her free, no obligation estimate.

Frank Nati inspected Donna's basement and recommended a full perimeter interior drainage system for her basement. A total of 96 feet of drainage was installed in Donna's basement to trap water from wherever it came from and keep it out of her basement. 

Donna can now be sure that she will never see water spots or puddles in her doorway again.

Betty had struggled with water in the basement of her Marilla home for a long time. She visited the WNY Home and Garden Show in hopes of finding someone to help. She stopped at the Frank's booth and told Frank Nati about her concerns and he assured her he could find a solution for her.

Frank visited her home and decided interior drainage would be the best option for Betty. Installing interior drainage in a basement with a history of water problems creates a place for the water to go that isn't the basement floor or personal belongings. 

With her new drainage system in place, Betty no longer had to worry about water in her basement.

Mike and Kate had a crack in their basement wall leaking water. While it wasn't causing flooding, it was causing pooling on the floor. They decided it was time to get it fixed. They called Frank's to schedule their free, no obligation estimate.

Frank Nati visited Mike and Kate's home and inspected their basement. Because the crack was deep and leaking, Xypex injection was the best option for repair. The injection would serve to permanently seal the crack and stop water from entering the basement.

Jan and Christine had a partially finished basement with cracks in the walls. These cracks were a sign of a larger problem: a shifting wall. They decided it was time to act now before the damage became worse. They called Frank's for a free estimate on their structural concerns.

Mike inspected their basement and recommended 6 Power Braces be installed along the shifting wall. The braces would serve to support the wall and actually straighten it over time. 

In addition to the Power Braces, 6 cracks in the walls needed to be fixed prior to the basement being finished. FlexiSpan was used on all six to permanently fix the cracks and prevent water from leaking through them. As an extra measure, a full perimeter interior drainage system was also installed to protect against water and flooding.

With these repairs finished, Jan and Christine can fully finish their basement with the confidence their wall is supported and water won't ruin their work.

Craig had multiple cracks in his basement walls. Some of the cracks had been unsuccessfully repaired in the past and all the cracks were leaking water. The leaks were a serious concern as Craig had fiberglass insulation hung on his walls. Left unaddressed, the water leaking through would cause mold growth in the insulation. He decided to call Frank's for a free estimate.

 Mike Ciocca inspected the cracks and agreed with Craig that the cracks needed to be permanently fixed. He recommended the FlexiSpan repair system for all four cracks in the basement. The multiple layers of a FlexiSpan repair ensures the crack is sealed and no moisture can enter into the basement.

In one day, all of Craig's cracks were permanently repaired and his insulation was safe from moisture.

Carriann and Brian decided they wanted to finish their basement.

The called Frank's Basement Systems for a free, no obligation estimate.

Dan had noticed water pooling in his crawl space when it rained. He was very concerned as he used his crawl space for storage of personal belongings. Frank's had done work for the previous owner of the home, so Dan decided to call for a free estimate to protect his belongings.

Sean Kelley visited Dan's home and inspected his crawl space. While there was a sump already installed, it was installed in the wrong location. There also was no drainage system, making the sump pump extremely ineffective. 

Sean recommended WaterGuard interior drainage be installed around the entire crawl space to catch water wherever it came from. In addition to new drainage, a SuperSump Plus sump pump was the recommendation to complete the system. This combination would ensure Dan would no longer have standing water in his basement.

To improve the overall environment of the crawl space, Sean also recommended SilverGlo wall insulation to keep the space warm and prevent water vapor from entering the crawl space through the walls. 

After all components were installed, Dan knew his belongings were safe from water and his crawl space will be warm and dry.

Andrew had already finished a living space and wanted to bring everything up to code, which meant he had to have an egress window installed. After talking to a few friends about their recommendations, he decided to call Frank's Basement Systems for a free, no obligation estimate.

Frank Nati visited Andrew's home and confirmed an egress window would be installed with minimal disruption to the already finished space. 

While it can be scary having someone cut a hole in your foundation to put a window in, Eric and his crew are always very careful to not damage anything. After a few days of work, Andrew had a crank out window with Rockwell window well and cover. In the event of an emergency, the window can be opened quickly, and the combination of the steps on the window well and lightweight cover make an escape easy for everyone, including children. 

In addition to being safer, Andrew's basement living space is now up to building code and can be included in the square footage of the house.

Sally had work done at her previous home by Frank's Basement Systems, so when the basement of her new house started to leak, she knew who to call. The difference this time was that her new home had a radon system in place.

Frank Nati inspected her basement and confirmed she needed a drainage system and sump pump. Because her home had radon, it was difficult to waterproof. Despite her unique situation, Frank was able to design a drainage system to help Sally.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from limestone rocks. For homes built in areas with radon, a pipe is installed to vent the gas out of the home. When it comes to waterproofing, special precautions must be taken to ensure the water can flow into the drainage, but radon can't come up. 

Cactus Board is a special drainage product that does exactly this. The dimples on the Cactus Board allows water to flow from both the walls and floor.

Eric had two problems in his basement: a bowing wall and moisture in his basement. After a brief internet search, he settled on Frank's Basement Systems for a free estimate.

Mike Ciocca inspected Eric's basement and designed a custom fit solution for his home. This solution comprised of four parts: I-beams for the bowing wall, BrightWall wall panels to water vapor, WaterGuard interior drainage for ground water, and a SuperSump sump pump to get rid of the water.

The bowing wall was the first concern for the install crew. Seven steel beams were installed along the failing wall to take the weight of the house. 

The next task was to install the BrightWall anti-microbial wall panels on the walls. These panels will trap water vapor as it enters through the wall to prevent it from entering the basement.

WaterGuard was installed next. The patented drainage was installed along the walls in the basement to catch water from the ground, basement floor, and walls.

The SuperSump sump pump was the last component to be installed. A sump pump is critical to any basement with water problems.

Eric no longer had to worry about his wall or the water in his basement. Call Frank's Basement Systems today to schedule your free, no obligation estimate.

Craig had a crack in his wall leaking water into his basement. He called Frank's Basement Systems for a free, no obligation estimate. 

Frank Nati inspected the crack and formulated a solution for him. Because of the nature of the crack, Xypex crystalline injection was the best repair method. 

To complete this repair, the floor was opened to test the existing drainage. Once the drainage passed a flood test, the crack was chipped out slightly to ensure a flawless application. After the Xypex was applied, a small cove was installed at the bottom of the crack where the floor was opened to allow for any water leaking through the crack  to reach the drainage. The repair was then covered with our BrightWall panels as an extra measure to stop moisture as well as hide the repair.

After one afternoon of work, Craig's wall crack was permanently repaired. Call today to schedule your free, no obligation estimate!

The wall in Anthony's basement had developed a severe bow and horizontal crack. He called Frank's Basement Systems to offer solutions for his foundation. Ray Smith visited his home and assessed the basement. He along with an engineer determined that the wall was beginning to fail and action should be taken sooner rather than later.

Due to the fairly mild bow, the wall was able to be repaired with the StableLock repair system. This method is less invasive than a whole wall replacement and requires half time. The floor in front of the wall was broken out and replaced with a rebar reinforced concrete footer. PowerBraces are installed into the new footer and attached to the floor joists. Rebar is then ran through the PowerBraces tying them together and increasing their strength. Metal forms are put up in front of the PowerBraces and concrete is pumped into the forms, creating a new concrete wall. A day later the forms are taken down to reveal a 100% structurally sound wall.

Tracy's basement had consistent water problems over the years. She decided to call Frank's Basement Systems for a solution. 

Joe Johnson determined she needed a new drainage system and sump pump. He recommended WaterGuard interior drainage to catch water from the floor, walls, and ground. He also recommended a TripleSafe sump pump system to remove the water from the WaterGuard from the basement. The TripleSafe sump pump system is designed to work in all conditions, including a power outage.

Thanks to these two components, Tracy is now protected from basement flooding permanently.

He recommended four SmartJack posts to replace the current posts. SmartJacks are a permanent solution involving a new concrete footing for the post to prevent shifting and settling. They are made of galvanized steel to prevent rust and are warrantied for 25 years.

After two days, Scott's posts were permanently replaced thanks to Frank's Basement Systems.

Jodie's home had cracks in the concrete walls that had been repaired by the previous owner. They were leaking and allowing water to pool in the basement. She called Frank's Basement Systems for a free estimate on a permanent repair. Christian inspected her basement and designed a custom system to address all of Jodie's concerns.

The new system started with repairing the three leaking wall cracks with a Xypex crystalline repair. The Xypex will fill all cracks and voids in the wall when it gets wet. The second part of the system was the WaterGuard interior drainage around the entire basement to collect any water from the walls and floor. The WaterGuard connected to the Triplesafe sump pump system to remove all water from the basement. The three pumps will keep the basement dry no matter how much water comes in or if the power goes out.

After two days, Jodie's Williamsville home is permanently protected against water.

Christian Nati inspected the space and knew right away that a structural repair would be needed, to uphold the safety of Jim and Kris's home, and to avoid future issues. 

A total of 7 Foundation Support works Helical piles were installed directly into the footing of the couple's home. Next, Helical support brackets were permanently fastened to the footers of the foundation, along with exterior helical piles to prevent any more structural movement within the foundation of the couple's home.

Now that Jim and Kris could rest assured knowing their home was protected from future structural issues, we were able to move forward to fix the multiple vertical cracks found in the basement wall. With our Xypex crack repair system, this was an easy task to take on, and Jim and Kris's basement was repaired in no time at all!

Tracy's basement was suffering from some pretty severe water damage. Tired of dealing with this large mess, and all the associated hassles, Tracy gave Frank's Basement Systems a call for a free inspection and estimate. Donnie Spacone inspected the basement and knew right away the waterproofing system in Tracy's basement was very outdated! 

The first step to getting Tracy's waterproofing system up to standard was the installation of 4 PCV perforated drainage pipes. Next, a 1/3 HP Cast Iron Pump was installed in Tracy's TripleSafe Liner with a clean pump stand, to ensure that IF any water was to enter Tracy's basement, it would have somewhere to go to be efficiently pumped outside the home. The last step in waterproofing Tracy's basement was the installation of a CleanSpace Wall System on all walls, to reduce humidity and stop the growth of mold and mildew.

Be like Tracy, and let Frank's take away the stress of large repairs! 

Luis T. had multiple cracks along the walls of his basement yet had no idea why they were forming nor just how worried he should be about the situation. Tired of the stress, Luis gave the experts at Frank's Basement Systems a call for a free inspection and estimate. Christian Nati inspected Luis's basement and was let Luis know the cracks in his basement wall were caused by the foundation of his home shifting! In order to fix this, 7 Helical piers were installed into the bedrock beneath Luis's home, to ensure the foundation would no longer shift and cause more cracks. An exterior drainage line, was also installed, starting at the right rear corner of Luis's home so all discharge and water from the Sump Pump in Luis's basement would drain out to the Bubbler system across the street.

Be like Luis, and let Frank's take away the stress of large home repairs!
