Before & After

Zen Walls, WaterGuard, and TripleSafe in Marlborough, CT

Before, this Marlborough, CT basement had a leaky basement. The incoming water left behind unwanted stains on the walls and floors. Plus, all this excess moisture in the basement made the home susceptible to mold growth, which can be a significant health issue for home owners. Hoping to protect his home from this problem, the homeowner reached out to the experts at Connecticut Basement Systems. Soon after, Sales Representative Glen Knafel arrived to evaluate the basement.

Production Foreman Kevon Barnett traveled to the home not long after that, and quickly got to work eliminating the basement’s stains and moisture issues. First, he installed WaterGuard, our patented perimeter drainage system, which catches water leaks at the base of the basement walls and channels them to a sump pump, where they are pumped away from the home. In this case, that sump pump was our most reliable pump, the TripleSafe. The TripleSafe includes a primary pump, a secondary pump that kicks in when the pump has to deal with heavy leaks, and a battery powered backup pump that is ready to take over in the case of a power outage. Finally, he installed Zen Walls throughout the basement, which prevent air and moisture from flowing into the basement space, and give the room a clean, finished look. The homeowner was pleased with the results, and happy to find peace of mind in knowing that his basement is well protected against water leaks.
