Before & After Photos

Water used to collect in this Bolton, CT garage every time it rained. The old drainage system was inneffective, and kept clogging. We replaced it with our WaterGuard perimeter drain and the SuperSump sump pump. The SuperSump, featured in the After picture, can pump 2,500 gallons of water per hour out of the basement. After we waterproofed their garage, the homeowners were confident that their house would stay dry even during the most severe rainstorms.

A basement window's job is to let natural light in and beatify the basement. However, water, leaves, and dirt used to collect in this basement window well, making it a disadvantage to the basement rather than an asset. By covering it with the SunHouse window well cover, we were able to keep out the dirt and water that was plaguing the window. The clear cover lets light into the basement, and made the basement bright and beautiful once more!

Before, this Hebron, CT basement had been damaged from moisture leaking in through its old basement walls. To make matters worse, the home’s water heater and other mechanical units often caused condensation, and sent more water dripping onto the ground. A wet basement like this can cause damage to the home and create an unhealthy living environment, so the homeowner reached out to Connecticut Basement Systems. Soon after, Sales Representative Bryan Buckley traveled to the home to help formulate a solution. 

After, Connecticut Basement Systems Foreman Marcial Lopez installed CleanSpace vapor barrier to the walls, which brightens up the basement walls and prevents moisture from entering the basement from outside. A Trench Drain was also installed around the water heater to help rid the basement of moisture resulting from condensation. Now, the homeowner can rest easy knowing that his basement is protected from water leaks and excess moisture.

A homeowner in Hebron called us and said they had a shifting and settling foundation that they wanted us to repair. We sent out one of our Sales Consultants, Tim Kane, to the home to assess the issues and propose a solution that will solve this problem for good! 

One of our Foremen, Sergio Alves, and his helper Jacob Scott, would tackle the installation of this job. This job required push piers. They installed multiple around the outside of the home. These piers get installed below the foundation footing where they drive steel piers into the ground to lift the home into place and stabilize it. Once it is lifted and stabilized to a certain pressure that the homeowner is satisfied with, then the crew caps off each push pier bracket. Now this home is stable and has lifted into position. 

Mark K. was complaining about a damp smell in the basement and coming from the crawl space and they were also concerned with cold floors above the crawl space. He wanted a solution, and he wanted one fast, so he gave us a call at Connecticut Basement Systems, and we were happy to come and see how we could solve his problem!

Our System Design Specialist, Ferdinand Gojani, came out to survey the space, and assess what needed to be done. The first thing he suggested was a CleanSpace Radiant Vapor Barrier. This bright, white vapor barrier completely transforms a crawl space, while also working to reduce moisture and humidity within the crawl space. It also helps seal out cold drafts in the winter, and is suitable over walls and floors. We also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier, which is designed to provide many years of energy-efficient, trouble-free performance, even in tough crawl space conditions. SilverGlo rigid foam insulation was also installed. This rigid foam insulation shed water instead of soaking it up like cellulose and fiberglass insulation. The best part? It doesn't support mold EVER. 

This crawl space was transformed from dark to dazzling, and this family can now use the space for storage! Call us TODAY for your free, crawl space estimate!
