Before, this basement window was clearly inefficient with cracks along the edges to allow air and moisture. The homeowners had even tried to cover the air leaks with a flimsy piece of cardboard as a last resort. They knew that an upgrade to their windows were a must. Connecticut Basement Systems was able to provide a permanent solution for their Milford home.
The solution was to install EverLast windows. These windows are built with reinforced vinyl frames so there is never a worry for rust or rot. This was a problem in the previous windows that is no longer an issue. EverLast windows have double-pane glass that will prevent heat loss, making your home more energy efficient. Not only are these windows practical, but they are a beautiful addition and let in a lot of natural light! This is exactly what the homeowner had wanted and was pleased with the results!
When a basement window has an insufficient window well, it can cause a lot of obstruction with dirt and debris. This obstruction can deter light from entering the basement and it is unappealing to look at from the outside. The homeowner wanted to install a window well that would protect their brand new windows. Connecticut Basement Systems was more than happy to provide a solution.
The solution was to install a Sun House window well. Our Sun House window well is superior compared to others because it is made from a durable, high-strength plastic that will never rust, deteriorate or require painting. The solid base keeps the well clean and prevents weeds from growing on the window well floor. This is exactly what the homeowner wanted and the difference is incredible!
This Milford basement had mold on the walls caused by excessive moisture in the area. This is unhealthy and concerned the homeowner greatly. He wanted a permanent solution to ensure that his basement would be dry and healthy no matter how much it rained. After doing his research, he decided to work with the experts at Connecticut Basement Systems.
The solution for this basement was to first address the mold problem. Mold X2 was the solution for the current mold. This product is applied to the contaminated surface and removes the mold. However, in order to truly prevent mold from growing back, the basement must stay dry. The solution for this was to install a SaniDry Sedona and BrightWall panels. The SaniDry Sedona is a dehumidifier that will keep the basement humidity below 55% which will make the air healthier and prevent mold. BrightWall panels were installed to prevent air and moisture from seeping through the walls. Not only is this product practical, but it gives the basement a fresh, clean look. Just look at the difference! The homeowner was pleased with her dry and clean basement.
Before, this Milford home had inadequate flooring in the basement. Typical tile flooring installed right against the concrete foundation (like this basement use to have) can cause a cold and uncomfortable surface. The cause of this problem is that there is no thermal break protecting the flooring from the cold and wet foundation. The homeowner wanted to be comfortable in his own basement and decided to work with the experts at Connecticut Basement Systems.
The solution was to install ThermalDry Floor beige tiles. One of the great benefits of this product is that there is a thermal barrier that makes the flooring 8-10 degrees warmer compared to traditional tile. These tiles are also attractive in any basement and are mold and water resistant. This is exactly what the homeowner wanted and was pleased with his transformed basement!
