Basement waterproofing system

Kinetic Basement Solutions is the leading local basement waterproofing contractor, serving Albany, Troy, Schenectady, Saratoga Springs, and all of Eastern NY with a sub-floor drainage system engineered specifically to solve basement water problems in our area. Our systems can be designed to meet the needs of any home, regardless of age or size.

If your basement has ever leaked or flooded, then you should consider a quality basement waterproofing system. Without basement waterproofing, water problems never get better, they only get worse. Even if water leaks are uncommon, your home's air quality can be impacted and your ability to finish your basement is restricted.

Crawl space waterproofing system

If so, you should consider taking action. Did you know that over 40% of the air that you breathe on the first floor of the home comes from the basement or crawl space? Because of this crawl space waterproofing and encapsulation is essential to your family's health.

A crawl space is essentially a small basement. In homes with crawlspaces, the living area is so close to the crawl space that moisture and unsafe air infiltrate the home, causing potential health hazards.

Crawl Space Problems and Their Solutions

At Kinetic Basement Solutions, we help our customers in Upstate, NY by getting to the root of the problem.

• Crawl Space Drainage System -If there are issues with standing water, we begin by installing a perimeter drainage system prior to the encapsulation process. We then run this drainage system into our GrateSump™ Sump Pump System to remove the water from the crawl space.

• DimpleShield Drainage Matting - This dimpled plastic material may be used on high footings or concrete floors to assist with crawl space drainage issues.

• Crawl Space Vent Covers -Most crawl spaces have been vented due to antiquated building codes. We now know that venting a crawl space creates big problems and it's necessary to seal any vents or areas where outside air can get in. We have patented crawl space vent covers to solve this issue.

• CrawlShield™ Encapsulation System -To complete the process of sealing the crawl space, we install a patented crawl space encapsulation system to completely eliminate vapors and odors rising from the ground; creating a layer of protection between the dirt floor and your living space which also helps in lowering your home's heating bills while making the upper levels living spaces more comfortable.

• Crawl Space Dehumidification System -After the area is sealed, the moisture level will need to be controlled and brought down to a relative humidity below 50%, using our high-efficiency dehumidification systems.

Sub pump system

Sump pumps are the only mechanical feature in a drainage system. That is why it is really important to use a pump system that you can depend on. Kinetic Basement Solutions recommends only submersible pumps that last longer and allow for a sealed system to be possible. The GrateSump™ Sump Pump System that we carry includes a constant run capable pump that is also used in fountains and outdoor irrigation. These pumps achieve this level of durability through tighter tolerance, all-steel construction, and actual ball bearings. No plastic bushings in these pumps!! GrateSump™ Sump Pump Systems come with a warranty and features that are overlooked in other pump kits.

Molds, Dust Mites, and Odor Removal Services 

Upstate New York living is one of the worst areas in the country for maintaining a healthy living environment. We have more humidity and moisture problems than anywhere else. In addition, New York State does not have the building codes, nor required inspections that we need in order to be educated enough to be aware of how our home is negatively impacting our lives. You don’t have to wake up in the morning with a runny nose from mold to know that you have a mold problem within your home. Some of the most dangerous cases are the ones that go unnoticed or the symptoms are ignored.

Foundation Repair 

There are a variety of causes for foundation cracks or shifting for your home. Kinetic Basement Solutions has seen them all and can advise you on the best method to stop and repair any type of foundation issue in Albany, Troy, Schenectady, Saratoga Springs, and all of Eastern NY.

Foundation repair solutions are a permanent way to remedy your foundation issues by utilizing a push pier and/or helical pier system. Kinetic Basement Solutions installs piers along with the foundation footings and grade beams as needed.

Moisture Control 

If your basement has ever leaked or flooded, then you should consider a quality basement waterproofing system. Without basement waterproofing, water problems never get better, they only get worse. Even if water leaks are uncommon, your home's air quality can be impacted and your ability to finish your basement is restricted.

Radon Prevention 

Radon enters your home through pores in the basement concrete and travels to low-pressure air inside of your basement. This air then travels upwards through the home by the stack effect. This stack effect results in 40% of basement air ending up in the living space of your home.

The dangers of radon gas are frightening and real. Concrete alone is too porous to stop it from entering. Through under-slab ventilation and vapor barrier on the exterior walls, however, radon can be greatly diminished. These precautions are especially important when finishing your basement or when a high radon level is detected.

Mold, Dust Mites, and Odors Eliminated

Just because you have a foundation waterproofing system, doesn't mean your foundation is completely dry and free of moisture. If your basement or crawlspace doesn't look, feel or smell dry, it's probably not and this means mold, dust mites, and odors are most likely present. You could be unaware that your foundation is damp and acting as a breeding ground for mold, dust mites, and odor-causing damage.

The Sump Pump Geeks are committed to providing you with comprehensive, cost-effective sump pump and waterproofing system maintenance.

Chimney Repair & Masonry Service 

The Northeast is about as rough as it gets on stone, block, and brick structures, including chimneys. Over time, rain, snow, and ice damage your chimney with cracked flues deteriorated bricks and joints, and more. The professionals at Kinetic have the knowledge to assess chimney problems and repair them to last. If you let a masonry problem go too long, the result could lead to the need for a full tear down, costing thousands more than regular chimney maintenance and repair. Call today to fix it now and fix it right. That’s the Kinetic way.

Outside Water Deflection In Place of Total Excavation

Kinetic Basement Tip - Most outside major excavation is costly and unsuccessful. It can even make your problem worse. If done improperly, disturbing the soil next to your foundation can allow an influx of water to make contact with the structure. KBS offers many alternatives to major excavation which are less expensive and in many cases, more successful. Let the hydrology experts help you save frustration & money!
