Connecticut Basement Systems Before & After Photos

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! 

When we arrived in this basement, we found that the existing sump pump was old and ineffective. Without a cover, dirt and debris fell into the basin and clogged the pump. In its place, we installed our SuperSump sump pump. It includes an airtight lid to keep odors and humidity out of the room, while protecting your sump from debris from the basement floor. Rubber grommets around all pipes and wires help maintain the airtight lid and also help to keep all PVC pipes steady and quiet. Additionally, The SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The owners of this home never have to worry about basement flooding again!

A homeowner in Vernon Rockville, CT had slight bowing in their foundation walls so they reached out to our foundation specialists at Connecticut Basement Systems to find a solution. One of our Sales Consultants, Tim Kane, visited the home to assess their foundation and propose a solution that would give the homeowner peace of mind! 

Soon it would be time for one of our Foremen, Sergio Alves, and Jacob Scott to install the CarbonArmor strips. These carbon fiber strips are epoxied to the wall to strengthen and stabilize the bowing of the foundation. These carbon fibers are 10 times stronger than steel and easily installed, so this is a quick and permanent solution to stabilize and reinforce this wall! Now this homeowner has peace of mind of their basement walls! 

A homeowner in Vernon Rockville, CT had a damp, wet basement. They called us at Connecticut Basement Systems to find a permanent solution. One of our Salesmen, Mark Krasnickas, went to the home to assess the basement and propose a waterproofing solution. 

Soon after, it would be time for one of our Foremen, Marcial Lopez, and his crew to install this job. They installed our WaterGuard drainage system below the floor, around the perimeter to capture water seepage. Then they installed our TripleSafe sump pump to take the collected water and pump it out of the home at a safe distance. Our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to eliminate moisture and prevent mold growth throughout the entire basement. 

Now, with our systems in place, this entire basement will stay dry all the time. The homeowner is happy and has great peace of mind.
