Rochester, NY Basement Waterproofing & Crawl Space Encapsulation Company

Steve was helping his daughter get ready to sell her house. They knew it would be easier to sell with a new basement waterproofing system installed. They called Frank's Basement Systems to provide a free estimate.

Matt visited the Rochester house inspected the basement. He decided a simple perimeter drainage system and sump pump were best for this house. WaterGuard interior drain tile was installed at the base of all the walls in the basement. WaterGuard is designed to catch water from the walls, floor, and ground while not clogging with mud. A SuperSump Plus sump pump system was also installed to remove water from the basement.

Ranjit had some concerns about their foundation walls. Some cracks had appeared and were causing some concern. Matt inspected the basement and determined an engineer needed to be consulted. After an engineer determined structural work was required, Matt designed a solution for this Rochester home. 

Ranjit's solution involved 12 steel beams to support the wall that was beginning to buckle. Before the beams were installed, BrightWall panels were installed on the walls to prevent moisture from entering the basement. The beams and BrightWall installation took about 2 days with minimal disruption to the home. 

Deon's historical home had sagging floors due to failing supports in his basement. He called Frank's Basement Systems for a free estimate on a permanent solution. Dave Hennessey visited his home and inspected the basement. He determined the best solution for Deon was three SmartJack posts to replace the failing supports.

SmartJack installation includes the installation of a new concrete footer where the new post will be installed. Unlike most jack posts, SmartJacks will never move or shift, but can be adjusted over time if needed. 

After two days of work, Deon's floors were permanently stabilized. 

Carrie's crawl space had high humidity and a dirt floor. She knew this combination would lead to more crawl space concerns in the future. She called Frank's Basement Systems for an estimate on a crawl space encapsulation in her Rochester home.

Matt inspected her crawl space and designed a custom system for Carrie. This system included drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier. Drainage matting prevents water from pooling in an area of crawl space. The CleanSpace vapor barrier will prevent moisture from entering the crawl space. Moisture in crawl spaces can lead to musty odors, mold, and rotten floor joists. 

In just one day, Carrie's crawl space was permanently protected against moisture.

Virginia was tired of recurring water problems in her basement and called Frank's Basement Systems for a free estimate on basement repairs. Matt assessed her home. He designed a solution to address all of her concerns and create the space she wanted.

Virginia's basement waterproofing system included interior drainage and sump pump system. The TripleSafe sump pump system includes three pumps for total basement protection. The first pump is a 1/3 horsepower cast iron sump pump which can pump over 2,000 gallons of water per hour. The second pump is a 1/2 horsepower sump pump and can operate simultaneously with the primary pump or independently in the event of primary pump failure. The third pump is an UltraSump battery back up sump pump which will turn on with rising water levels and run even without power to the home. 

After two days of work, Virginia's Rochester home is permanently protected against water.

Erin's old sump pump just wasn't cutting it anymore and needed to be replaced. She thought it was a good time to upgrade her system and called Frank's Basement Systems for an estimate. Matt inspected her basement and asked her about her goals and concerns. They decided together that a TripleSafe sump pump system was the best option for her home.  

The TripleSafe has a powerful Zoeller ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level, a second, more powerful Zoeller ½ horsepower pump set a bit higher in the liner in case of high water volume or primary pump failure, and an UltraSump battery backup sump pump, set at the highest level, will pump 11,500 gallons in case of a power outage or double pump failure on a single charge.

After one day, Erin had an entirely new sump pump system that will provide protection in all circumstances.

Rhonda wasn't happy with her current sump pump's performance. She called Frank's Basement Systems for a free estimate on a new system. 

Mike Kelly visited her home and recommended a TripleSafe sump pump system. The TripleSafe system has three pumps for more protection than any other sump pump system on the market. The system includes a primary 1/3 horsepower pump, secondary 1/2 horsepower pump in case of primary pump failure, and a battery backup pump in case of primary and secondary pump failure or power loss.

The TripleSafe also comes equipped with an airtight lid and WaterWatch alarm to alert you in the event of a basement flood. 

Rhonda couldn't be happier with her new TripleSafe sump pump system and the additional protection for her basement.

Jolene was frustrated with the water in the basement of her Rochester home. After removing the drywall in her basement, she noticed water in two corners and water marks on the walls. She decided to call Frank's Basement Systems for a permanent solution. 

Ray Smith inspected her basement and determined a full perimeter WaterGuard system with SuperSump sump pump system was the best solution for her home. The WaterGuard system was installed around the entire basement at the base of the walls. This system will catch water from the walls, floor, and below ground and funnel it into the SuperSump system. The SuperSump will pump the water up and out of the basement. 

After the two day job was completed, Jolene no longer has water in her basement.

When Michael moved into his home 5 years ago, the basement had been painted before the final inspection and he couldn't see any issues. Now the basement is always wet despite an existing drainage system. He called Frank's Basement Systems for a free estimate on a new waterproofing system.

Russell visited Michael's home and determined a new WaterGuard interior drainage system and TripleSafe sump pump system were the best options for the basement. The WaterGuard was installed below the floor at the base of all the walls in the basement. It is designed to sit on the footer out of the mud. The TripleSafe sump pump system will remove the water from the basement no matter the volume and will continue to work in a power outage. 

With this new system in place, Michael no longer has to worry about water in his basement.

Sheryl had struggled with water in her crawl space for a number of years. She callled Frank's Basement Systems for a free estimate.

Frank inspected Cheryl's crawl space and found that water was entering where her walls met the floor and also entering through the walls as well. 

To remedy both problems, Frank recommended WaterGuard interior drainage around the perimeter of the crawl space in combination with the CleanSpace wall system, These systems are designed to work together to make sure water never reached the basement again.

A TripleSafe sump pump system and SaniDry dehumidifier were also recommended to ensure all water and moisture were removed from the basement.
