Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before we arrived at this basement, water would leak from the wall-floor joint every time it rained. To prevent water from entering the house, we installed our WaterGuard drain around the perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard effectively captures wall and floor seepage before it reaches your basement floor. The drainage system transports all ground water to a sump pump, so that it can be pumped outside. The owners of this home now enjoy a dry basement, even in the heaviest storms!

The R. Family had continuous water coming in through the walls in their basement. The water would seep in through the walls and rest on the ground in a pool of water. The homeowners wanted a fix to the water issue since from the picture you can see the mold on the walls. The homeowners contacted the experts at Connecticut Basement Systems and our basement waterproofing expert Len Fletcher made sure no more water would come in. We installed our WaterGuard French drain system to guide the water that comes in out of the basement. The WaterGuard is an exceptional product because it sits under the ground but above the foundation footing to prevent any clogging from happening. The water will be guided into our TripleSafe Sump Pump system. The sump pump has three pumps to ensure ALL the water is pumped out. The first pump which sits the lowest is the first to turn on, but if it can’t handle the amount of water coming in then the second pumps turns on to assist the first. The third pump only turns on if the power goes out but it has the capability to pump as much as half of a swimming pool. To encapsulate the walls from any moisture or any more mold being created we installed our CleanSpace Wall encapsulation system. The special material is waterproof and does not allow the moisture from the outside to get into the home. The home owners will no longer need to worry about anymore water damaging their basement. 

We epoxy the drain pipe directly to the floor, and leave a slight opening along the top to collect water leaking in from the walls. Thus, your home is waterproofed without jackhammering!

This homeowner in Norwalk, CT noticed the floors sagging and decided to call our Foundation Supportworks team at Connecticut Basement Systems. One of our Sales Consultants, Gus Stozinic, went out to the home to assess the issues. Then our Foreman Sergio Alves and Jacob Scott got to work on this project. They installed our SmartJack Systems. These SmartJacks are tightened so that the floor is level and stable. The homeowner was able to notice a difference and they are thrilled that their floor is strong and no longer sagging!

A homeowner in Norwalk, CT expressed interest in waterproofing her basement. In need of an expert, she reached out to Connecticut Basement Systems to schedule a free in-home consultation.

Upon calling, the homeowner made contact with Sales Representative Rick Raucci. Raucci took notes on the homeowner's basement, sketching drawings of the space and adding specific measurements. Once complete, he provided a proposal documenting solutions in line with the homeowner's concerns. Through the installation of our WaterGuard French drain system, the homeowner would be protected against moisture along the walls. Paired with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, the homeowner's basement would offer further peace of mind.

With the proposal accepted, Foreman Vic Varela and his team arrived on-site to begin the installation process. Installing the WaterGuard system requires minimal removal of the slab around the perimeter, which is later covered again with fresh concrete. Following the quick install, the homeowner expressed much more confidence in her basement's waterproofing abilities!
