Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Sandy Hook home had water seeping in through the cements walls underneath the insulation and made its way into the drywall damaging it. The homeowners called the experts at CT Basement Systems and Brad diagnosed the issue and fixed it. To guide the water out of the home we installed our WaterGuard below floor drain. The WaterGuard is installed in a bed of gravel on top of the foundation footing which keeps it out of the "mud zone". The water is then collected and pumped out of the home by our premier SuperSump which is capable of pumping 2,200 gallons of water per hour. Because the previous insulation was damaged we installed our ThermalDry Basement Radiant Wall Barrier. The ThermalDry® Wall system protects the finished basement from moisture and water that passes through concrete foundation walls. This product serves as both a vapor barrier and also as a way to redirect water leaking through the basement walls into the drainage system below.

Water seeping through the walls of this basement used to be a problem. To help remedy this, we installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier around the bottom half of the wall, where the leaks were occurring. The CleanSpace catches any water that passes through the walls and redirects it to the drainage system, ensuring that this Fairfield, CT basement will stay dry for years to come.

This Fairfield, CT basement leaked all the time before we arrived, causing damage to the items in the basement. It was a humid space that was damaging the value of the home. With the installation of our TripleSafe sump pump system and SaniDry dehumidifier, we were able to create a dry basement environment that was a great asset to the home.

When we arrived at this Fairfield, CT basement, it was damp and moldy. To remedy this basement water problem, we installed the WaterGuard perimeter drain. This innivative drain captures both groundwater that flows in through the wall-floor joint and any water that seeps through the wall above it. The CleanSpace along the walls is used to redirect water from the walls to the floor drain. The owners of this home can rest easy knowing that their basement is well-protected against water!

As you can see in the before photo, this Fairfield, CT basement was constantly filling with water, and was beginning to cause damage to the space's flooring and walls. These homeowners decided to give us a call at Connecticut Basement Systems to help fix the problem! In order to combat improper drainage, we went ahead and replaced the home's old sump pump with our own SuperPump. While their original pump lacked a lid, ours come with an airtight closure to keep out pests and debris. For proper drainage, we installed both our TrenchDrain and WaterGuard systems to ensure the space was permanently safe from any further water problems. Finally, to combat any unwanted moisture, and future mold problems, we installed our SaniDry Dehumidifier. This will create clean, dry air, and remove the risk of potential mold growth within the room. We left feeling confident in our work, and knowing this family would have a clean, safe space to use for years to come!
