Pouring A New Slab At Our Office - Bullville, NY

concrete repair

Just as we are always improving the lives of our clients and bringing peace of mind to them we are always improving our shop. Our team needed a dedicated area to keep materials, supplies, and miscellaneous tools/vehicles. Because of this need, we decided the best thing to do was to pour a new concrete slab that would be dedicated to these items. We now have one area where all our items can be stored, instead of them being stored in multiple locations throughout the shop. …

I requested an estimate for exterior drainage solutions and foundation repair. The gentleman came out to the house and took measurements, but it’s been almost 1 year and I haven’t received the estimate despite reaching out to inquire about it. I’ve called several times to follow up and each time I’ve been told they will send it and never do. I’m giving up.

Eric the consultant inspected the job site took the measurements he needed and gave us an explanation of how the work was going to be handled. He also offered a discount and scheduled our project for the following week. When the day came the crew arrived on time and went right to work. We will use them again in the future for our pool deck. Overall a great bunch of people and a greater service.

the job was very professionally done. There is not much to say except that I was very pleased with there work and happy that I don't have to worry every time it rains. other contractors would have just dug a hole and put in a pump, but they covered back up the hole except for exhaust pipe which leads out of the house to underground. It takes water a significant distance from my house. Thanks guys.

These guys are booked out months in advance for good reason, they are very professional and do very good work. They coordinated excavations on the outside of the property and several jobs from different contractors inside the basement and finished everything ahead of schedule and right on budget. The quality of the workmanship was top notch on everything they did. They left the worksite very clean. Overall: we had a warm-weather-only seasonal cottage with a basement that flooded in the spring, and no way to keep our pipes from freezing in the winter, and in three days these guys turned it into a year-round home.

Excellent prompt and quick work which has added double the usable space to our home as our lower living area(family room, bedroom, large bathroom etc) is now totally dry with much lower humidity levels. Highly recommended.
Description of Work
Found source of water entering our lower living area. Found hairline crack in foundation which was causing large amounts of water to constantly enter our home's lower level. Could have claimed that we needed a french drain or other very costly repairs instead of a $900 fix. Can't say whether that job should have been less than $900 but do know that if they claimed we needed thousands of dollars in repairs we may have, based on their reputation, believed them. They were very honest and the house has been dry since last fall. Also purchased a Sani Dry professional dehumidifier from them which has really made a difference in our home.

I am amending my review after subsequent contact with Basement Systems. Ultimately I am satisfied with the work they finally did, Kathy from the office is very sweet and the work done by Dale was ultimately done although there was much confusion since I was never called or emailed to let me know that the work was complete (it is a weekend property and we were not present- which makes it challenging to schedule with providers). I do wish they did a better job with communication since this was the main issue (not hearing from them when they were not able to come for an appt or not hearing that they were coming to do the job!) I will say that despite my frustration, I do think the work was done well, Dale assessed another concern or ours unrelated to this job, and will be coming back to further assess and provide an estimate if need be, and Dale even closed a garage door that was left open by another service provider which was much appreciated. So I certainly would do business with them again and am pleased with the final outcome. But for the sake of completion, below is my original review. Prior review: Was initially very pleased with prompt initial response and visit from Dale for free estimate. He came on 9/16 as scheduled, was very likable, friendly and informative and spent much of time surveying house and property and providing recommendations as to how to best address leak in basement and buried drainage pipes on the property of our newly purchased home. Was told he would email estimate within week. Dale made such a good impression that I was surprised that I did not receive the estimate within a week. I called 2 weeks later to remind them to provide estimate which should have been my first clue that things would not proceed smoothly. Had difficulty getting work scheduled which was to be approx 4 hours of labor for 2 men. Not totally their fault as we are weekenders and could only be there for thurs/friday/saturday dates, so I can appreciate that scheduling might be difficult, but still frustrated that work was scheduled for a friday 2 months later. Was called a few hours before appt and told that someone was sick and they could not do job. Was not called back when I asked to reschedule. When I finally reached Kathy who works in the office was told that Dale would come personally the following Monday and do the work himself. Needless to say he never did and I never heard from anyone from the company since then. Wasted nearly 3 months of our time and left at square one. Thanks for nothing. Extremely disappointed with lack of professionalism and surprised that this company has such high ratings.

Company walked the property, reviewed / discussed the issues and provided a book thoroughly describing basement problems and how they should be addressed. Lots of valuable info in the book which was very helpful on its own. However, the focus of their work seems to be on providing drainage solutions within the foundation walls and they appear to be experts in this regard. Our preference would be to keep the water outside the foundation walls and feel that a provider specializing in this would better suit our needs.

The crew arrived on the planned date and worked diligently. They were knowledgeable about the issues of an old house and knew exactly what they were doing. They had to carry out the debris (concrete and dirt), and bring in the material and equipment by hand. They were careful to partition off the part of the basement where they worked and keep dust and dirt from going out of the work area. The crew did a great job in making sure the work sites were cleaned up and everything was done right. A truck had to come back 2 days later to finish up the river rock in the outside trench, as they had run out of material. The yard, considering how difficult it was to dig the trench away from the house, was in very good shape. There were tree roots ans shale that made things difficult and required a jackhammer at times. It was a difficult and messy job that they did wonderfully, inside and outside. I have been very pleased with the work and there has been no problems with water or excessive dampness in the basement.
Description of Work
The house is approximately 110 years old with a stone foundation and no mortar and I have owned it for 34 years. They dug a trench along outside wall to divert water away from basement. They also covered the interior of the basement wall with material to divert the water into a trench that was made to go into a sump pump that sent the water away from the house. It was a two day job and required 2 crews;one for outside and one for inside the basement. I choose this company because they had the best plan for solving the increasing water problems that had developed over recent years. Other companies did not offer as extensive and well laid out plan and their price was the same or more.

I would recommend this company to anybody. Their professionalism and courtesy were fabulous.
Description of Work
We had a very "wettish" corner in our basement, and the dry lock was bubbling from the wall so, with the help of Angie's List, we decided to call Basement Systems of New York. The receptionist was kind and polite, and we were told someone would be in touch soon. Later that very day, Jack called, and an appointment for an estimate was set up. Jack, who was prompt, thorough and professional explained exactly what had to be done to remedy the situation. Because of what he said, we also decided to have installed a heavy duty dehumidifier which would take care of the dampness in the entire basement. The workmen arrived today at 8:30, the time they had told us they would be here. After putting down blue plastic to protect the floor where they would be walking and after walling off the corner of the basement with plastic sheeting so there would not be dust all over the place, they jackhammered a hole in the basement floor for the pump. They also jackhammered two trenches, which they filled with gravel, along each wall. All "openings" were then filled with concrete finished as smooth as cake frosting. All the debris from the jackhammering was taken away on their truck and NOT dumped in our yard!!! A vinyl like white material was neatly and evenly applied to the walls, eight feet in either direction from the corner. The sump pump water, as well as the water from the dehumidifier, leaves the house via a five or six foot white PVC drainage pipe which is perpendicular to the wall and leads to the outside of the foundation. The outside pipe is elbowed to empty into thirty feet of underground PVC pipe. The workmen dug a trench in the yard, laid the pipe, neatly replaced the grass, which they had put aside, and tamped down the area where they had dug. At the end of the underground pipe is a green drain which rests on gravel. The last construction step was to caulk the hole in the foundation. Before they left, the wall of plastic was removed, and one of the workmen rolled up the protective plastic walking backwards on it so there was not a spot of dirt to be found! The two men were here until 2:45 p.m. and worked continuously, not even stopping for lunch. They were very pleasant and professional just like everyone else we dealt with in this company. It is too early yet to know if our water problem has been fixed, but I'd bet my last dollar that it has!

Thank you for the review, I am sorry you felt the price was "exorbitant". All proposals are done the same way, and they are in direct proportion to the issues in a home and the size of the home. If you would like we can come back out and review your original concerns and see if we could do what is needed in steps. We also offer financing with 6 months same as cash with no interest.

They gave us an estimate which I was happy with and arrived on the scheduled day to complete the work. One of the cracks was much larger than we thought so they needed to com back with a different product. They came back but with an insufficient amount to complete the job. It took a long time to complete but it was sufficient to keep water out of the basement. Just realize that tax is not included in the estimate.

The representative from Basement Systems showed up right on time and got right to work taking measurements and asking questions about the space where the work was to be done. When he was done, he came back upstairs and presented very detailed drawings of the proposed work, which included a perimeter drainage system with redundant sump pumps in a newly-dug pit, which would feed into a pop-up outlet in the back yard. The sales pitch was similar to the others we had seen, where we were educated on how water gets into the basement, understanding hydrostatic pressure against the home's foundation, and where water wants to go. A few days after receiving the quote, we asked for him to come back and give us a quote for a gravity-fed system, rather than a sump-pump system. He stopped over within the same day, I believe, and took measurements, and called me at work right from my back yard. The price for the system was nearly the lowest of any others we had gotten, though we ended up not going with them because they were unwilling to do a gravity-fed system to the back of our property, as it did not have sufficient grading. The system itself seems to have a smaller channel than that of other basement waterproofing solutions, but it seemed like it would be adequate to me.

I was very satisfied with their workmanship and the quality of the product. It definitely solved the issue of flooding in my basement every time there was significant rainfall or extensive melting of snow. With regard to price, I did compare them to other companies that provide a variety of solutions to my problem. They were the least invasive in terms of destroying the basement than some of the other companies. So they really did the job with minimal disruption. They did some additional stuff. They were very good about getting back to ensure that it was working well. They sent me information if I wanted to get the system checked. They have been very good about checking back to make sure everything was working well. They were very quick to respond, and they were right on time. I was just very satisfied and pleased; they worked quickly and cleaned up. They made little additions. When they were setting up the system to go outside, I asked them to move where they had the original release of the water that accumulates in the track. They did so, and they didn’t charge me anything extra for it.

The services provided by Basement Systems of NY, out of Bullville, NY 800 719-9240 was excellent. They crew startred promptly at 7:30 am and worked to 4:43 pm. (with lunch and 2 breaks) the first day and from 7:30 am to 12 noon the second day. The work was completed in that time period. We were very pleased with their professionalism. They were punctual, professional, and curtious. We are very pleased with the job they did, would recommend them and would hire them again if need be.
Description of Work
Basement Systems of NY waterproiofed our basement by installing 96' of Flo-Guard System on three sides of the basement and a Sump basin and Gravity Line out back. They jack hammered around the inside edge of the basement, placed the Flo-Guard, drilled small hole in the basement walls so the water that comes in will drain into the Flo-Guard system and drain into the sump basin. The ditch was filled in and cemented over. They dug a ditch out the side of the house, and out back for the gravity drain, checking the angle for proper drainage, placed the pipe and filled it in. All this was done in 12 and 1/2 hours mostly by hand pick and shovel. They cleaned up and discarded the excess dirt and cement. Everything was neet and clean when the finished.
