To stop water from flowing through the doorway of this home, our team installed the TrenchDrain grated draining system along the edge of the entranceway. TrenchDrain resembles half of a basement drainage pipe, with a grated opening fitted snugly on top. The grate is flush or slightly below the floor, eliminating any tripping hazard. After the cement finishes drying, the owners of this home can be confident that no water will leak through their doorway any more.
Whenever it rained, water used to seep through the wall-floor joint of this Norwalk, CT home. To catch any water before it entered the basement, we installed a WaterGuard perimeter drain. The WaterGuard's design makes it resistant to clogs, and once we installed it and covered it with cement, it was a permanent and long-lasting solution to this home's water problem.
When water used to pool into the basement, it had nowhere to go. Puddles of standing water can lead to problems like mold and rot. To pump water out of the home, we installed our SuperSump sump pump system. Inside the SuperSump is the powerful, top-quality Zoeller sump pump, capable of pumping up to 2280 gal. per hour. The owners of this Norwalk, CT home now have peace of mind knowing that their basement will be dry, even in heavy rainstorms!
Before we arrived at this basement, water would leak from the wall-floor joint every time it rained. To prevent water from entering the house, we installed our WaterGuard drain around the perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard effectively captures wall and floor seepage before it reaches your basement floor. The drainage system transports all ground water to a sump pump, so that it can be pumped outside. The owners of this home now enjoy a dry basement, even in the heaviest storms!
In this Norwalk home the homeowners had a continuing moisture issue in their crawlspace. The crawlspace was dirty and very humid when they would go down there. The homeowners called the experts at CT Basement Systems and we fixed the issue on the first visit. We installed our vapor barrier which not only keeps the moisture from coming through the walls and floor but it also keeps the crawl space clean. The homeowners also had us install our crawl space insulation which is a great way to seal off your walls, while also saving money on your energy bills!
SilverGlo™ combines highly effective graphite-impregnated insulation with a built-in radiant heat barrier surface. This gives your crawl space walls an unbroken plane of R-11 insulation.
