Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Westbrook, CT had water seepage up from below the floor and had an existing sump pump that was not eliminating water. They reached out to us at Connecticut Basement Systems to find a proper waterproofing solution. We sent our Sales Consultant, Matt Kraus, to the home to evaluate the issues and propose a solution that would eliminate this problem for good! 

Once it was time for installation, we sent out one of our Foremen, Moises Chantes, and his crew to work on the job. They installed our WaterGuard drainage system below the floor, around the entire perimeter to capture the water. They then installed our TripleSafe sump pump to effectively pump out the water from the home at a safe distance. CleanSpace vapor barrier was also installed on the walls to protect from moisture damage. Now this basement is totally dry and the homeowner has peace of mind! 

A homeowner in Westbrook, CT expressed interest in waterproofing his basement. Searching for a waterproofing expert to provide peace of mind, he reached out to Connecticut Basement Systems.

Making contact with Sales Representative Mike Bourdeau, the homeowner scheduled a free in-home consultation. Once Bourdeau arrived at the home, he began measuring the basement, creating a map and labeling potential locations for a sump pump. Following his visit to the home, Bourdeau provided the homeowner with a detailed proposal documenting potential waterproofing solutions.

With the proposal approved by the homeowner, Foreman Delfino Mones and his team arrived on-site to begin the installation process. Three systems were installed: our WaterGuard French drain system, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and TripleSafe sump pump system. These three systems work in tandem to mitigate moisture, expelling any excess water to a safe location outside the home. 

Once the install was complete, the homeowner felt much more confident in his basement's ability to mitigate moisture!

This East Hampton basement had a crack in its wall that was causing concern for the homeowner. The crack looked minor on the outside, but was allowing for air and moisture to enter the basement. This additional moisture was causing the basement to have a musty odor and the excess air was causing unwanted drafts. The homeowner wanted a solution that would correctly seal and waterproof her basement’s crack. She decided to call Connecticut Basement Systems for a free estimate. 

The solution to fixing this homeowner’s problem was to apply our FlexiSpan system to the crack. Our FlexiSpan system seals the crack with a flexible sealant to prevent any air from leaking through. Then, a hidden foam channel is placed over the seal to direct any possible moisture or water to enter the basement. Unlike traditional sealant or mortar-based crack repair, FlexiSpan is not affected by hydrostatic pressure or slight movement in the basement wall. This means that our solution will work under all conditions. 

Once the entire project was completed, the homeowner was extremely happy and impressed with the results. Now, she does not have to worry about her home having water or a must odor and can enjoy a clean, dry basement all year long. 

This crawlspace in East Hampton had an evident water and moisture issue that would directly affect the home's living spaces. The homeowner wanted a solution and decided to make an appointment with Connecticut Basement Systems. 

The solution for this crawl space was to install SilverGlo wall panels, rim joist insulation, CleanSpace liner and a SaniDry. All of these products combined make a clean and energy efficient crawlspace. The SilverGlo properly insulates the area to prevent any air or moisture from entering in. The CleanSpace liner will prevent any moisture to come through the floors as well as provide a durable solution to a hard, cold floor. In order to seal everything in, the rim joists were insulated with Spray Foam. And lastly, in order to keep humidity low and create a healthier environment, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed. Just look at the transformation! The area is now a more energy efficient area! 

This Enfield, CT basement was originally used for storage. The homeowner wanted to transform her basement into a usable, inviting space that everyone can enjoy. She did her research and decided to call Connecticut Basement Systems for a free estimate of a finished basement.  

Taz Petersen was the Sales Representative who arrived at the home the day of the appointment. He went over the many different floor, wall and ceiling options the homeowner had to finish her basement. After a plan was set, the homeowner wanted to move forward with the installation process. 

Richard Sodins and his production team installed the products proficiently and efficiently. Gray ThermalDry Sandstone flooring was installed to ensure warm and waterproof floors. EverLast walls not only gave the basement a huge upgrade, but they are fully insulated which means it will always be comfortable to enjoy. Linen Ceiling tiles were installed to give the basement a real finished look. We were also able to install a closet (as seen in the after photo) for additional storage. 

Once the entire project was finished, the transformation of the basement was incredible! The homeowner was impressed with all the products and what a difference her basement looked. Now, she can enjoy her basement in a comfortable and enjoyable area for years to come.
