Effective basement waterproofing services

If you've noticed mold growth, musty odors, peeling paint, water stains, or wall cracks in your Stamford basement, it is highly likely that you've got a basement waterproofing problem. Luckily, we offer many highly effective basement waterproofing services, from sump pumps to vapor barriers.

Our approach to basement waterproofing in Stamford & nearby

At Connecticut Basement Systems, we've combined four great products into one amazing system. First, our award-winning WaterGuard basement drainage system is installed around the perimeter of your basement. Its patented design collects water that seeps from walls, the wall-floor joint, and from under the slab.

Our TripleSafe Sump Pump System is then installed to collect the water and pump it outside and away from your basement. Next, ThermalDry® Drainage Matting is laid on the existing floor. In some cases, new concrete is carefully poured over the drainage matting using our unique Concrete TrueFloor process, which allows collected water to flow freely under the new slab to the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. In other cases, we may recommend a different installation approach based on your home's existing concrete slab and specific needs. Finally, a SaniDry high-efficiency air system is added to your project to help reduce odors and prevent mold from growing in your basement.

Basement waterproofing solutions questions & answers

How can I permanently waterproof my basement?

A wet basement can result from many underlying issues, including pooling surface water, foundation cracks, inadequate gutter drainage, or rising groundwater pressure. Not every situation is the same, so a quick fix won't last if the source isn't identified. That is why the professionals at Connecticut Basement Systems thoroughly inspect the basement to recommend the right solution that stops water at the source. That could mean improving drainage, repairing wall cracks, or managing indoor humidity.

Our proven systems address drainage issues. Our solutions including interior perimeter drainage systems, sump pumps, and dehumidifiers, to create a dry, healthy basement. We also seal wall cracks and install downspout extensions to further protect the foundation.

How much does basement waterproofing cost?

The total cost of a basement waterproofing project depends on:

  • The severity of issues
  • The solutions needed
  • The size & layout of the basement
  • The foundation type & its condition

Our waterproofing system isn't one-size-fits-all. They are tailored to these factors to stop water intrusion and ensure lasting results. A customized solution addresses hidden issues while avoiding unnecessary systems or expenses. We even provide free basement inspections, no-cost service estimates, and financing options for qualified borrowers.

Can I waterproof my basement myself, or should I hire a professional?

Installing DIY products from big-box stores may temporarily help, but they won't address the cause of the issue. Sealants, patch kits, or off-the-shelf sump pumps can mask the symptoms without addressing the source of the water.

Connecticut Basement Systems provides thorough inspections to properly diagnose the problem and develop a customized plan to deliver long-term protection. This includes:

  • French Drain Systems
  • Sump Pumps
  • Wall Crack Repairs
  • Dehumidifiers
  • Downspout Extensions

A DIY solution might seem like it saves money, but it can lead to repeat problems, mold growth, or structural damage in the future. Connecticut Basement Systems ensures the job is done right the first time with warrantied products, skilled crews, and lasting peace of mind!

Will waterproofing help with my basement's musty smell?

Yes, musty odors come from mold, mildew, and trapped moisture. Masking the smell won't fix the problem. Addressing the source of water intrusion and improving airflow is key. We install a combination of drainage systems, dehumidifiers, and an air purifier, which eliminates dampness and keeps the basement fresh long-term.

Can humidity cause basement problems?

Yes, high humidity leads to excess moisture, creating the perfect conditions for mold, mildew, and other air quality issues. In some cases, humidity is the symptom of an underlying water intrusion problem. We address humidity issues by stopping water at the source.

  • A sump pump and drainage system collect and remove water to prevent excess moisture.
  • We seal the basement by repairing wall cracks and installing a moisture-proof vapor barrier.
  • We install a self-draining dehumidifier to regulate humidity and prevent condensation and excess moisture.
  • We provide a professional-grade air purifier that keeps the air clean, dry, and healthy.
