Leading Mold Removal & Basement Waterproofing Contractor serving Roslyn Heights, NY 11577

This homeowner in Roslyn Heights, NY had a basement that would allow water to enter it whenever it would rain a lot outside causing the homeowner to not use parts of their basement, with the fear it might flood. The homeowner was tired of having a nasty wet basement and gave us a call to come inspect their basement issue, our team was able to turn this wet basement into a clean, dry usable one by installing our basement waterproofing system in their basement. The way our basement waterproofing system works is by our crew first installing our waterguard system around the perimeter of the basement or along the walls waters entering in from, our waterguard system is designed to collect and direct water into our sump pump system before it makes its way into your basement, leaving the basement completely dry. In the event a bad rain storm knocked out power to this home, the homeowner wouldn't need to worry about their basement flooding because we connected the sump pump to a battery backup system which will automatically kick on if the home lost power. The last thing our team installed in this basement was our dehumidifier system which is designed to filter out any small mold particles that might be in the air, along with filtering out any moisture that might be in the air and self-discharging it back outside. Leaving this basement completely clean, dry, and usable. 

This homeowner in Roslyn Heights, NY had a crawl space that would allow water to enter it whenever it would rain outside and the homeowner was looking to utilize the space for extra space and gave us a call. Our team was able to turn this leaking crawl space into a clean, dry, usable one by encapsulating the crawl space with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier which will prevent any water from entering the crawl space. Our team also installed our SaniDry Dehumidifier into the crawl space to ensure no mold would ever grow in the space, our dehumidifier is designed to filter out any moisture in the air along with any small mold particles that might be in the air, leaving this crawl space clean and dry. Now this homeowner has a clean, dry, usable crawl space that they can utilize for extra storage without the fear that water or mold will ruin their valuables. 

The homeowner called and requested an estimate to waterproof and finish their basement; during heavy rains water comes up from the floors.

Our seasoned Systems Designer, Rich Alexander, visited the client and discovered he had not only a wet basement, but also a very unhealthy crawl space that had never been cleaned and was not insulated.  This is not unusual, as many homeowners don't even know they have a crawlspace, and those that do know, have never ventured into it. 

Most crawl spaces are vented, so that in summer, warm air enters the crawl space and circulates throughout the home, reducing air conditioning efficiency, and in winter, cold air reduces heating efficiency.  Not only that, crawl spaces are usually dirty and unhealthy, filled with dirt, dust, mold, insects and critters. and other allergens -- and that air is circulated throughout the home via the HVAC system!

We first addressed the flooding issues.  We fully waterproofed the basement with WaterGuard XL, and added two WaterGuard Ports so the homeowner can check to ensure the system is working properly.  We also installed a Triple Safe Pump, which has THREE pumps, to control any future flooding.  The third pump is battery powered, so in the event of a power outage during a major storm, water continues to be pumped out of the basement.  We also installed an IceGuard and a LawnScape, to ensure easy drainage out of the house in all seasons.

To complete the basement waterproofing, we installed our CleanSpace wall system, a vapor barrier which keeps the humidity level low enough that mold cannot grow.  It completely covers the walls and piers with a healthy, clean white barrier to dirt, water, humidity, and mold.  

We then completely cleaned the crawlspace and removed all the dirt and debris.   We fully insulated the crawl space with our patented SilverGlo insulation to substantially reduce heating and cooling costs for the home.

The customer is now able to use the entire basement, and both basement and crawl space will remain clean, free of water, humidity, and mold, ensuring that the customer and his family remain healthy!

Our products are warrantied for the life of the home, and come with a Written Guarantee that transfers to the new owner in the event the customer ever sells his home.

The customer is thrilled with his new basement, clean crawl space, and healthy home!
