Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A family located in Riverside, CT expressed concerns regarding unwanted basement moisture seeping in along their basement's perimeter walls. Frustrated with needing to sweep water into an old sump pit, they reached out to the experts at Connecticut Basement Systems for assistance. 

Upon calling, the homeowners made contact with Sales Representative Vincent Orsini. After setting up a free in-home consultation, Orsini arrived at the home to diagnose the family's concerns. Providing a finalized proposal, Orsini received acceptance to begin work.

Shortly after, Foreman Antonio Diaz and his team arrived on-site to begin the installation process. Following a quick install, the basement was equipped with ample protection against further basement moisture!

A homeowner in Norwalk, CT, was getting water seepage in their basement. They called us at Connecticut Basement Systems in search of a permanent solution. One of our Service Technicians went out to view an old system they had, and he proposed our full perimeter waterproofing solution. 

Shortly after, one of our Foremen, Marcio, and his crew would install the job. They installed our dual drainage system, which consists of our DryTrak baseboard drain and a feed line, to ensure water seepage from the walls will be directed into our sump pump system. Then, they installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier on the wall to protect it from moisture and help direct water from the walls into the drain system below. Two of our TripleSafe sump pumps were installed., While only one is pictured, they will ensure the collected water will be safely pumped out of the home. Lastly, the crew installed our Sedona dehumidifier to eliminate excess moisture and prevent mold growth throughout the entire space.

Now, this entire basement will stay dry all the time, ensuring the homeowner has peace of mind! 

The inorganic materials that make up ZenWall — fiberglass, foil and vinyl, are all inorganic and will not rot or support mold growth, unlike the concrete walls in the before picture. It can also make up to a 10 degree difference in the surface temperature of the wall, adding comfort and saving energy. Aside from all of these benefits, ZenWall panels can be installed in any basement to make your walls look great! They dramatically brighten the room.

ZenWall is a 1/4" thick encapsulated fiberglass core with a reflective foil vapor barrier on the back side and a decorative vinyl finish on the front side. We use foil as a vapor barrier because it gives the added benefit of a radiant barrier, and therefore some resistance of heat flow through the panel one way or the other. While the colors and pattern and texture of the ZenWall vinyl finish hide dirt and marks, the panels are also washable, so keeping them clean is not a problem.

People often forget to shut off the water valves when they're not doing laundry. This means that their washer hoses remain constantly pressurized at about 60 pounds per square inch. A regular cunsumer grade hose is not strong enough to handle this, and upon failure, up to 650 gallons per hour can shoot out of a standard size hose. That's more than 2.5 tons of water per hour!

FloodChek hoses are the finest, safest washing maching hoses in the world. FloodChek hoses are guaranteed for twenty years, or the life of your washing machine against failure due to defective design, materials and workmanship.
