A homeowner in Hebron called us and said they had a shifting and settling foundation that they wanted us to repair. We sent out one of our Sales Consultants, Tim Kane, to the home to assess the issues and propose a solution that will solve this problem for good!
One of our Foremen, Sergio Alves, and his helper Jacob Scott, would tackle the installation of this job. This job required push piers. They installed multiple around the outside of the home. These piers get installed below the foundation footing where they drive steel piers into the ground to lift the home into place and stabilize it. Once it is lifted and stabilized to a certain pressure that the homeowner is satisfied with, then the crew caps off each push pier bracket. Now this home is stable and has lifted into position.
Mark K. was complaining about a damp smell in the basement and coming from the crawl space and they were also concerned with cold floors above the crawl space. He wanted a solution, and he wanted one fast, so he gave us a call at Connecticut Basement Systems, and we were happy to come and see how we could solve his problem!
Our System Design Specialist, Ferdinand Gojani, came out to survey the space, and assess what needed to be done. The first thing he suggested was a CleanSpace Radiant Vapor Barrier. This bright, white vapor barrier completely transforms a crawl space, while also working to reduce moisture and humidity within the crawl space. It also helps seal out cold drafts in the winter, and is suitable over walls and floors. We also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier, which is designed to provide many years of energy-efficient, trouble-free performance, even in tough crawl space conditions. SilverGlo rigid foam insulation was also installed. This rigid foam insulation shed water instead of soaking it up like cellulose and fiberglass insulation. The best part? It doesn't support mold EVER.
This crawl space was transformed from dark to dazzling, and this family can now use the space for storage! Call us TODAY for your free, crawl space estimate!

A homeowner in Old Lyme, CT was experiencing issues pertaining to basement moisture. Afraid of the additional issues typical with moisture, she decided to reach out to the experts at Connecticut Basement Systems to schedule a free in-home consultation.
Upon calling, the homeowner made contact with Sales Representative Brian DiRisi. Once at the home, DiRisi measured various parts of the basement, concluding the most adequate location for our TripleSafe sump pump system, and an exterior drainage line. In an effort to fit the TripleSafe sump pump system, a new location was created near the old pump's area (see pictures for more insight). By accurately measuring these areas, DiRisi ensured the homeowner would be protected against further issues pertaining to moisture.
With a finalized proposal concluded documenting all the work to be done, Foreman Delfino Mones and his team arrived on-site to begin the installation process. Following the installation, the homeowner was thrilled with the results and looks forward to her stress-free, waterproofed basement!
