Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation

If your crawl space is not insulated, fills with water when it rains, or has structural problems, we can help. The crawl space is a vital part of your home, but it is often neglected. For your crawl space to optimally perform it should be encapsulated so there is a barrier between the interior space and the ground below. The exposed wood beams should be free of any signs of rot or mold and the floor joists should be level with no signs of sagging.

Ideally, the crawl space should also be insulated, this will help with air quality and overall home efficiency. The crawl space shouldn’t have any signs of moisture as even the slightest amount of water can lead to mold growth, rot, and mildew. To ensure the long-term health of your home and to get rid of existing crawl space issues call or click today!

Homeowner Gayle, from Grand Island, NY, called Frank's when they grew concerned over their inward bowing wall.

Sump Pump Replacement in Grand Island, NY

Homeowner Dennis, from Grand Island, NY, noticed water leaking into his basement around his sump pump, but his sump pump was not removing the water from his basement. After inspecting Dennis's sump pump, it was definitely time for an upgrade!

Our crew came in and installed our SuperSump Plus sump pump system, which has several features despite its powerful and long-lasting 1/3 horsepower cast-iron Zoeller pump. Our sump pump contains an air-tight lid that features both a floor drain and an alarm system, allowing Dennis to know when the water has risen above the pump's float. The shell of the sump pump contains roughly 100 3/8-inch inlet holes, allowing for ground water seepage, as well as two large holes, allowing for a drainage system. Lastly, the pump stand holds the pump in place, preventing the pump from being damaged by mud, silt, or residue.

Basement Waterproofing in Grand Island, NY

Homeowner Gerald, from Grand Island, NY, called in looking for assistance when he noticed his sump pump was not getting any water, but his basement was leaking from the floor wall joint where he had existing drain tile. Our expert Design Specialist determined that his drain tile was broken and needed to be replaced, since it was not capturing any water seepage from his walls.

Our crew came in and first, sealed the cracks along his wall with our FlexiSpan sealant, which features a 3-step process: 1) a flexible sealant is applied along the full length of the crack, 2) a strip of flexible and porous foam is installed over the crack, and 3) an impermeable membrane is adhered to the wall on both sides of the foam strip, creating a fail-safe treatment for wall cracks. Next, we replaced Gerald's drain tile with our patented WaterGuard drainage system, which features a rugged, inorganic structure that will never clog and looks nearly invisible upon installation. We then installed a new sump pump after determining that Gerald's sump pump was too old to function properly. With our powerful and patented SuperSump Plus sump pump system, Gerald will never have to worry about water seepage in his basement again, as the SuperSump Plus contains a 1/3 horsepower cast-iron Zoeller pump which can remove up to 2,600 gallons of water per hour from the basement.

George can now enjoy a dry basement and a new waterproofing system.

Lastly, to prevent moisture seepage, we installed our patented SaniDry Sedona, which can move air at a rate of 300 cubit feet per minute!

Persistent water infiltration, coupled with concerns about structural integrity, had left him worried about the future of his home. After hearing about the expertise of Frank's Basement Systems in basement waterproofing and structural repair, he decided to call their team for professional assistance. On the scheduled day, a team of experienced professionals from Frank's Basement Systems arrived at Anthony's residence to inspect his basement.

Crawl Space Waterproofing in Grand Island, NY

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.
