"Our experience with your team has been nothing short of great."
Frank/Kimberly C. of East Chester, NY
Customer Testimonial
“
My wife and I recently employed Connecticut Basement Systems to do some major waterproofing work. Specifically, we had installed the WaterGuard Drainage System, TripleSafe Sump Pump, ThermalDry Flooring, Brightwall Paneling, CleanSpace and SaniDry Air System. I am happy to say that after four extremely powerful rain storms, our basement has remained bone dry!
Our experience with your team has been nothing short of great, starting with Rick, who met with us back in early January. Rick's friendly and informative style instantly made us feel at ease. This was very apparent to us, especially when contrasted with some of your competitor's hard sell tactics, which completely turned us off.
As the job date approached, Rick checked in with us to see if we had any questions. He also went out of his way one morning by agreeing to meet me and my contractor in Westchester to ensure that our basement was indeed ready for Basement Systems workers to begin the waterproofing process.
Your team of workers were fantastic, so much so that my contractor commented that he had never seen such a thorough waterproofing job. We just wanted to say thank you, and if a prospective client needs a reference, we will be happy to speak to them on your behalf.
Sincerely,
Frank and Kimberly C.

"...I can't believe that I am writing such an effusive review for a waterproofing job, but this is as close to..."
Adam E. of New Rochelle, NY
Customer Testimonial
“
The whole experience was unbelievably good from start to finish. The company gave me the name of the field tech consultant at the time I made my appointment and followed up with a short biography in the mail. They also sent me a handbook educating me on basement water issues. The tech called me the night before our scheduled appointment to confirm the date and time and to give me his cell phone number. He arrived promptly and acted professionally throughout his visit.
He found the most cost-effective waterproofing solution to my problem and was able to spec out my job at my house and set up a time to do the work. The crews arrived promptly, worked professionally, and left my home spotless. The job looks great, too.
I can't believe that I am writing such an effusive review for a waterproofing job, but this is as close to perfect customer service as you get. I HIGHLY recommend Connecticut Basement Systems to anyone looking to solve a basement water problem!!!

"...I would recommend them to family, friends and whoever has had any problems in their basements!"
John of Larchmont , NY
Customer Testimonial
“
Our experience was top notch, we had a knowledgeable professional come in and explain in detail everything they were going to do. He also explained how it was all going to work which was interesting to hear.
The day of the job my wife and I were both at work. I believe the team got there at 8:30am and when I got home at 5:00 they were wrapping things up. They were very professional and did a great job cleaning up what they had done. I would recommend them to family, friends and whoever has had any problems in their basements!

We Specialize in All Things Basementy™!
Basements are imperfect structures built in soils that vary from region to region in the northeast.
Water in the soil leaking into basements has been a problem that has troubled homeowners in Connecticut for a long time -- and the age of the house has nothing to do with the problem. This water seeps into the basement through the walls, floors, and the joints between them.
Over the years, contractors and engineers have developed a wide variety of solutions and methods to keep damp basements dry. Some of these waterproofing methods are more effective than others.

Things to Keep in Mind When Drying a Basement
Among the best of these methods is to install either an interior subfloor drainage system or a baseboard drainage system along the perimeter of the floor.
There are a few challenges to this method. One is to keep the drain from being clogged by mud over the years so you don't get water in the basement.
Many homeowners go years without a water problem and then develop one due to their existing subfloor and sub-surface drains clogging with mud.
Another challenge for subfloor systems is to set up the system to take water from the walls without leaving a large, unsightly gap at the edge of the floor which can collect dirt and debris from the floor - another potential for clogging the drain.
Basement Systems' patented WaterGuard system is designed to meet these challenges and keep your basement dry permanently.
