Foundation Repair in Baldwin, NY
Challenge
This Baldwin, NY homeowner needed help protecting their foundation and managing water around the home. Improper drainage and water buildup near the foundation can contribute to moisture concerns and potentially lead to foundation issues over time. Downspouts that discharge water too close to the home can increase the risk of water collecting around the foundation, especially during heavy rainfall. The homeowner needed a solution to help direct water away from the home while also reinforcing the foundation against potential movement or cracking. Healthy Basement Systems was brought in to install solutions designed to improve exterior drainage and provide added foundation support.
Solution
Healthy Basement Systems addressed the home's needs by extending two downspouts underground to help direct roof runoff away from the foundation. The extensions included cleanouts and LawnScape outlets to provide a designated discharge point for the water. In addition, CarbonArmor was installed to reinforce the foundation walls and help stabilize them against further inward movement. Together, these solutions help manage water around the home, reduce the risk of water-related foundation concerns, and provide added structural support and long-term peace of mind for the homeowner.
