Before & After Photos

A homeowner in North Branford, CT was getting water in their basement until they called us at Connecticut Basement Systems to have us find a solution. After scheduling an appointment, one of our Sales Consultants, Steve Machnicz, went to the home to assess the issues and propose our systems as a solution. 

Then it would soon be time for one of our Foremen, Moises Chantes, and his crew to work on this project. They installed our WaterGuard perimeter drain system around the basement under the floors to ensure that any water coming in from the walls or floors will get collected. Then they also installed our SuperSump Plus sump pump to take that collected water from the drains and pump it out of the home at a safe distance. To keep this basement moisture-free and prevent mold growth, they installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. As another layer of protection, they installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier along the whole basement walls to keep any moisture out and lead any water coming from the walls into the WaterGuard. These three products will work together to keep this basement dry. As a finishing touch, our crew installed Sandstone tile around the basement to give the basement floor a nice look! 

This East Hartland basement was dirty, let in a lot of moisture, and was an unhealthy environment. This was not what the homeowner had wanted and desired a basement that was clean and healthy. She did her research and decided to call Connecticut Basement Systems to help find her a solution.

The solution for this basement was to install a WaterGuard system, a CleanSpace liner, and a Sanidry Sedona. The WaterGuard system will collect water from any wall leaks before it even enters the basement and brings it to a sump pump that will properly discharge the water away from the area. A CleanSpace liner will prevent any moisture from seeping through the walls or floors. Lastly, the Sanidry Sedona will keep humidity low ensuring that air quality is at its best. With all of these products installed, the basement was completely transformed into a beautiful, clean environment. This is exactly what the homeowner wanted and was thrilled with the results. 

Water used to seep through the wall-floor joint of this Avon, CT garage every time it rained. To fix this, we installed out WaterGuard perimeter drain. The WaterGuard System is an award-winning, patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. By installing the drain at this point, it's kept out of the "mud zone", the point where clogged drains are common. The unique shape and large drain openings of WaterGuard also aid in prevent clogs in the system. With the WaterGuard installed, the owners have a dry, maintainence free garage!

Before, this Avon home was uninviting and cold where the homeowner could not enjoy this part of her home. The homeowener wanted to utilize her basement to its fullest potential and she knew finishing the basement would do just that. After doing her research and seeing our advertisement, she decided to trust the experts at Total Basement Finishing, a division of CT Basement Systems.

After completing the project, the basement was transformed into a beautiful and functional space. As seen in the after photo, the walls and ceiling were finished. We installed our EverLast wall panels. The benefits to these panels are that they are strong, durable and waterproof! They also look great in any basement. We also installed our ceiling tiles to make the basement completely finished. The transformation is incredible and the homeowner can now enjoy a bright and finished basement! 

Before, this Avon, CT basement had an open space where the stairs connected to the Bilco door. Not only was this an eyesore, but it would let in an uncomfortable draft, welcome critters to the basement, and allow water seepage to the space. The homeowner wanted a dry, pleasant basement in order to sell his home. 

The solution we provided was to install a full perimeter WaterGuard system paired with TrenchDrains and a TripleSafe sump pump. In addition, our Total Basement Finishing door was installed. A warrantied door will help prevent the uncomfortable drafts, water from entering the space and deter critters, too! With this dry and pleasant basement, the homeowner was able to sell his home within two months.
