A homeowner in Vernon Rockville, CT had slight bowing in their foundation walls so they reached out to our foundation specialists at Connecticut Basement Systems to find a solution. One of our Sales Consultants, Tim Kane, visited the home to assess their foundation and propose a solution that would give the homeowner peace of mind!
Soon it would be time for one of our Foremen, Sergio Alves, and Jacob Scott to install the CarbonArmor strips. These carbon fiber strips are epoxied to the wall to strengthen and stabilize the bowing of the foundation. These carbon fibers are 10 times stronger than steel and easily installed, so this is a quick and permanent solution to stabilize and reinforce this wall! Now this homeowner has peace of mind of their basement walls!
A homeowner in Vernon Rockville, CT had a damp, wet basement. They called us at Connecticut Basement Systems to find a permanent solution. One of our Salesmen, Mark Krasnickas, went to the home to assess the basement and propose a waterproofing solution.
Soon after, it would be time for one of our Foremen, Marcial Lopez, and his crew to install this job. They installed our WaterGuard drainage system below the floor, around the perimeter to capture water seepage. Then they installed our TripleSafe sump pump to take the collected water and pump it out of the home at a safe distance. Our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to eliminate moisture and prevent mold growth throughout the entire basement.
Now, with our systems in place, this entire basement will stay dry all the time. The homeowner is happy and has great peace of mind.
Water used to collect in this Bolton, CT garage every time it rained. The old drainage system was inneffective, and kept clogging. We replaced it with our WaterGuard perimeter drain and the SuperSump sump pump. The SuperSump, featured in the After picture, can pump 2,500 gallons of water per hour out of the basement. After we waterproofed their garage, the homeowners were confident that their house would stay dry even during the most severe rainstorms.
A basement window's job is to let natural light in and beatify the basement. However, water, leaves, and dirt used to collect in this basement window well, making it a disadvantage to the basement rather than an asset. By covering it with the SunHouse window well cover, we were able to keep out the dirt and water that was plaguing the window. The clear cover lets light into the basement, and made the basement bright and beautiful once more!
Before, this Hebron, CT basement had been damaged from moisture leaking in through its old basement walls. To make matters worse, the home’s water heater and other mechanical units often caused condensation, and sent more water dripping onto the ground. A wet basement like this can cause damage to the home and create an unhealthy living environment, so the homeowner reached out to Connecticut Basement Systems. Soon after, Sales Representative Bryan Buckley traveled to the home to help formulate a solution.
After, Connecticut Basement Systems Foreman Marcial Lopez installed CleanSpace vapor barrier to the walls, which brightens up the basement walls and prevents moisture from entering the basement from outside. A Trench Drain was also installed around the water heater to help rid the basement of moisture resulting from condensation. Now, the homeowner can rest easy knowing that his basement is protected from water leaks and excess moisture.
