Connecticut Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Norwich had a below-grade garage/basement that was getting water in it. They called us at Connecticut Basement Systems to find a solution to this problem. We sent our Sales Consultant, Stephen Singley, to the home to estimate the issues and propose a permanent waterproofing solution. 

Then it would soon be time for one of our Foremen, Garfield Sanderson, and his crew to work on the installation. They installed our WaterGuard drainage system below the floor, around the entire perimeter to collect water coming in from the walls and below the floor. Then they installed our TripleSafe sump pump to take the 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. Now this basement/garage will stay dry all the time!

Before, this Woodstock Valley, CT basement was unappealing and outdated with old flooring, wall panels and ceiling tiles. This was not an ideal environment according to the homeowner. He wanted a usable space that he would be happy to be in and able to utilize. A transformation was necessary to accomplish this project, so he trusted the best in the business, Total Basement Finishing, a division of Connecticut Basement Systems. 

Now the entire basement is transformed with EverLast wall panels, ceiling linen, ThermalDry tiles, EverLast post wraps and new doors. All of these products will increase the aesthetics of the area plus prevent any drafts or moisture from entering the area. The basement came out exactly how the homeowner envisioned it and can now enjoy and be comfortable in his upgraded space!

The B. Family had a crack in their basement that was a real pain. Every time it rained, water would come into the basement, and anytime it snowed, the snow would eventually melt and water would come in. The homeowners called the experts at Connecticut Basement Systems to make sure the issues was taken care of. We came in and diagnosed the problem and recommended our FlexiSpan® crack repair system. 

The FlexiSpan® is unlike hydraulic cements and some epoxies: the special polyurethane polymer sealant used for FlexiSpan® will never dry out or re-crack even given the natural movement of the foundation wall over long periods of time. The homeowners can now rest assured that the basement will not take on water from that crack.

This homeowner in New London, CT was struggling with moisture in their crawlspace until they called us at Connecticut Basement Systems. One of our Sales Consultants Matt Kraus went out to the home to estimate the issues. Our team, including foreman Marcial Lopez, would then tackle the project. They installed CleanSpace through the crawlspace. This would act as a water vapor barrier, keeping the space dry. Now this homeowner is happy with the results and can relax knowing their space is completely waterproofed. 

This New London basement had reoccurring water issues that were making the area unusable. The constant water would leave a musty odor and the clean-up process was beyond frustrating for the homeowner. She wanted a solution to solve the constant water problem and to get rid of the distressing smell. The homeowner decided to call Connecticut Basement Systems for a free home estimate. 

The solution for this basement was to install a WaterGuard System. This system is installed internally around the perimeter of the walls and then is concealed with cement. (You can see the wet cement in the after photo.) The WaterGuard System will collect water internally and channel it out to the sump pump. The sump pump will then take the water and disperse it through the discharge line. A CleanSpace liner is beneficial for this basement because it acts as a moisture barrier which will prevent any water from seeping through the walls. (You can see the CleanSpace Liner on the walls in the after photo)

Once the installation was finished, the basement was waterproofed and the musty odor was eliminated. This is exactly what the homeowner wanted and could not be happier with the results.
