Before & After Photos

Before, this Trumbull basement needed an egress window to follow required building codes for their finished basement. The homeowner contacted the experts at Connecticut Basement Systems to provide the best solution. 

The solution for this home was to install a Rockwell Egress Window. This product offers an attractive alternative to most unpleasant window wells, while providing a safe, code-compliant basement egress. It combines both beauty and functionality to any basement. The natural light brightens the entire atmosphere of the basement while providing a safe emergency exit. There is also a safety cover that keeps debris and leaves out from blocking the window. The homeowner was pleased with the results and was happy he contacted the experts at Connecticut Basement Systems.

Before, this Trumbull, CT basement was plagued by slow water leaks through its stone walls. As the water slowly crept in and evaporated, it left behind dirt and other unsightly marks on the walls of the basement. More than just a blemish, this dirt provides an organic surface on which mold can grow, which can lead to an unhealthy basement environment.

Our trusted waterproofing foreman, Sid Avis, used several of our patented products to correct the problem and transform the basement into a more pleasant space. First, he and his crew installed WaterGuard, an interior draining system, along the perimeter of the basement. Next, the crew attached CleanSpace liner around the basement walls, covering the leaky areas. In this case, CleanSpace works with WaterGuard to keep the basement dry and clean. CleanSpace, a heavy plastic liner, stops water vapor and drains wall leaks into the WaterGuard drain system below.

The homeowner was very pleased that Connecticut Basement Systems was able to correct the leaks in his basement, and even noticed that the CleanSpace liner had transformed his dark, dirty basement into a considerably brighter, more pleasant area in his home.

Before, this Trumbull, CT homeowner’s basement window had been damaged over time by the same problems that many basement windows encounter. Most basement windows do not seal well, and the basement’s naturally low air pressure wants to suck air into the home. This combination can lead to expensive heating and cooling costs. Plus, the old metal window frame had been damaged by moisture and rust over time, leaving an eyesore in the middle of this homeowner’s basement.

Our trusted foreman, Noel Harvey, had just the solution for this problem. He quickly installed EverLast Windows – the perfect window for any basement. EverLast windows have double pane glass and strong weather stripping, which helped to maximize the comfort and efficiency of the home. Plus, EverLast Windows are made from vinyl, which will never rot, rust, or even need paint, so they will hold up against any and all moisture that they face.

The homeowner’s once rusty windows had become a beautiful new part of her home, and she was thrilled with the transformation that Connecticut Basement Systems was able to give her.

Before, this Trumbull, CT homeowner’s basement was susceptible to problematic leaks and other water damage caused by this water heater. Water heaters automatically refill themselves, so when a water heater leaks, it leaks nonstop. Since the average water heater can last as little as 7 years, our experienced waterproofing Foreman, Marcio Bahiense, advised the homeowner to protect their home against a potentially disastrous flood.

After speaking with the homeowner, Marcio determined that the best solution for this home was to install Connecticut Basement Systems’ patented TrenchDrain drainage system. The grated openings on TrenchDrain allow the system to collect all flood water without taking up space or causing a tripping hazard in the basement. Once water flows into the drain, it is redirected to a sump pump to be completely removed from the basement. TrenchDrain also has a removable lid for easy cleaning and service, and even includes a written lifetime warranty.

Marcio quickly installed TrenchDrain, and the homeowner was very pleased with the results. She knew that her new drainage system would protect her basement and the value of her home for years to come, which gave her peace of mind.

Over time, slow water leaks in this Trumbull, CT home left behind streaks and stains on the basement walls. As the water crept in and evaporated, it left behind unsightly dirt on the walls all around the home’s basement. These stains certainly turn the walls into eyesores, but they also provide an organic surface for mold to grow on, which can cause damage to the home and health problems for those who live in it.   

Our trusted waterproofing foreman, Krzys Wilk, spoke with the homeowner and found the best solution for this problem. To start, he and his crew installed WaterGuard, an interior draining system, around the perimeter of the basement. Next, the crew attached CleanSpace liner around the basement walls, covering the leaky areas. CleanSpace works together with WaterGuard to keep the basement dry and clean. CleanSpace, a heavy plastic liner, stops water vapor and drains wall leaks into the WaterGuard drain system below.

The crew finished up their work and the homeowner noticed an immediate change in her basement. The CleanSpace turned the dark, dirty basement into a clean, bright room, and ensures that the basement will remain this way for years to come. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and could not wait to make use of her newly improved basement.
