Middlesex County, CT's Dependable Basement & Crawl Space Contractor

A homeowner in Middletown owned his home for over 41 years and continued to have water problems just like all of his neighbors. His neighbors had contractors come in and "fix" the issue but they continued to have water issues. Once we came down and started working he was certain that he wouldn't have any problems. We installed our WaterGuard® System which our patented WaterGuard® System is the result of more than two decades of research and development by the world's largest network of waterproofers -- and is backed by a lifetime transferable written warranty! This system has been successfully used in hundreds of thousands of basements in more than three continents, and is a proven way to permanently dry your basement. 

The water flowing through the WaterGuard® System stops in our TripleSafe™ Sump Pump. TripleSafe™ isn't just a sump pump. It's a sump pump system. TripleSafe™'s oversize plastic sump liner contains 3 sump pumps that can work together or separately depending on pumping demands. With the TripleSafe™ system, you don't have to worry about high pumping demands that can overwhelm or burn out single-pump systems. And if there's a power outage, your TripleSafe™ system will keep operating, thanks to a battery-powered backup pump.

Doesnt that sound like reliability?

This Westbrook, CT homeowner was looking for a new solution to the moisture seeping into her basement. She gave us a call at Connecticut Basement Systems, and we were happy to come on out! 

Our System Design Specialist, Matt Kraus, came out to the property and gave this family a solution he knew would positively affect their basement, making for a much more pleasant and energy efficient. Our expert foreman, Allan Guglielmoni, and his team came in, and quickly went to work! They first installed our SaniDry XP. This unit is industry best for dehumidifying a basement, offering 10x the performance of household dehumidifiers while using the same amount of energy. We also went ahead, and insulated the basement's rim joist. The rim joist is an area often overlooked when it comes to home insulation, and it is also a huge source of energy loss. When closed cell spray foam insulation is used, it cures dense and hard and is heavier than open cell foam. It forms an effective barrier against both moisture and air. 

This family can find relief in knowing their paid air won't go to waste, and that unwanted air will no longer sneak into their basement. Give us a call for your FREE energy evaiuation today!

A Westbrook, CT  homeowner had water seepage in their basement from the walls and from below the floors. With this being an ongoing issue, the homeowner decided to contact us Connecticut Basement Systems to find a solution to this issue. After setting an appointment with us, we sent out one of our Sales Consultants, Bret Citrin, to the house to evaluate the basement and propose a permanent waterproofing system that will eliminate this problem for good. 

Eventually, it would be time for one of our Foremen, Cisco Berrios, and his crew to tackle the installation of this proposed job by Bret.

A Middletown, CT homeowner was looking to turn their basement into a bedroom/living area, so they needed a proper egress exit to be up to code. They contacted us at Connecticut Basement Systems to see what we had for egress options. After setting an appointment with us, we sent out one of our Sales Consultants, Doug Wheeler, to the home to evaluate the basement and outside area and propose our RockWell Egress Window Well. 

Not long after, it would be time for installation. This would be done by Foreman Jacob, and his crew. First, they had to dig a trecnh in order to get to the foundation. Then the foundation was cut to a square to be ready for a window to be installed. Then they framed out the window and installed it. This window slides open and allows a person to easily exit it. Then they installed the Rockwell egress. This wraps around the window and has steps to allow a person to climb out in case of an emergency. It is a nice tan color with a "rock" look to it, so it blends in well with the outside landscape. Next, the crew backfilled the trench, leaving only a few inches of the RockWell above the ground. Lastly, they put the cover on, and the RockWell was ready to go! 

It now provides beautiful natural light to the basement, an emergency exit, and greater peace of mind to the homeowner.
