A Milford, CT homeowner was getting water seeping into their basement, so they called us at Connecticut Basement Systems searching for a permanent solution. One of our Salesmen, Brian DiRisi, visited the home to assess the basement and propose our entire perimeter waterproofing system.
Soon after, it would be time for one of our Foremen, Marcio, and his team to install this job. Because this basement had a monolithic foundation, both of our drainage systems were used, our DryTrak and our WaterGuard. DryTrak was installed around the perimeter but above the floor and will still capture water seepage from the walls. WaterGuard was installed in other areas to help lead groundwater seepage into the sump pump. Our TripleSafe and SuperSump Plus sump pumps were installed and will effectively pump out any collected water. CleanSpace vapor barrier was put on the walls to protect from moisture, but also to help direct water from the walls into the DryTrak.
Now that are systems are in place, this entire basement will stay dry all the time, ensuring the homeowner's peace of mind.
For homes in flood zones, including this one from Milford, CT, it's often beneficial for basements to have flood vents. These vents help equalize water pressure between the inside and outside of the house, preventing foundation collapse. However, openings in the basement can also let dirt, humidity, or pests into the home. The SmartVent we installed will remain closed until flood waters reach it. Not only did we protect this basement, but saved the homeowners money by reducing their flood insurance costs!
Before we arrived at this Milford home, the crawlspace was dirty, cold and damp. The homeowner was looking to upgrade her crawlspace to ensure that her home will run efficiently. A major concern that she wanted to resolve was the moisture and air entering the crawlspace since that will directly affect the efficiency of the home. She did her research and decided to give Connecticut Basement Systems a call.
In order to solve the homeowner’s main concern, Sid Avis and his production team installed CleanSpace liner professionally and efficiently. The benefit of the CleanSpace liner is that it acts as a moisture barrier so it will keep out water and air. It also gives the crawlspace a clean, fresh look which is something that the homeowner wanted.
Now that the crawlspace has the CleanSpace liner, the homeowner now enjoys an efficient home thanks to Connecticut Basement Systems! Just look at the transformation, incredible!

Before, this existing customer had our sump pump that needed to be serviced. It is a general rule that your sump pump should be serviced for maintenance every year. This particular homeowner does a very good job scheduling his service appointment every year, which is why his basement has been dry for years. In just a year, the sump was filled with debris and iron that could potentially clog important breathing holes in the sump pump. This is why it is important to annually have your system maintained. Service Tech Sam Bullock was able to clean out the system and assure that all parts were working correctly. Just look at the after photo, this is how the system should look like to work efficiently.

Before, this Milford, CT basement had a water problem every time it rained. Not wanting to wet vac each time a rain storm passed through, the homeowner decided to trust the experts to waterproof her basement.
Our Sales Representative, Doug, arrived at the home to inspect the problem and propose a permanent solution. Since the foundation of this home is monolithic, the best system to solve the water problem would be our DryTrak system paired with a Triple Safe sump pump. The DryTrak system will capture water between the wall and floor joints, in addition to water seepage from the floor. The homeowner was thrilled that there was a solution for her wet basement and went through with the project. Our Foreman Marcio and his crew were able to install this system within 2 days and now the homeowner has the peace of mind of a dry basement all year around!
