Connecticut Basement Systems Before & After Photos

When foundation walls begin to buckle, bow or tilt inward, homeowners are correct to be alarmed. Outside pressure from soil and water can actually cause foundation walls to collapse! When foundation walls begin to buckle, bow or tilt inward, homeowners are correct to be alarmed. 

This Danielson, CT home's basement was suffering from water damage all along the walls. They were made from stone and cement. Both of these materials aren't great when it comes to keeping water out of your basement. When the groundwater fills up it will eventually seep through the cement and stone. in order to address this problem we installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and TripleSafe Sump Pump. The vapor barrier is water and mold-resistant so it stops rot, mold, foul odors and insects from entering into your space. Our sump pump is an award winning, industry leading sump pump. It offers more reliability, power, and performance unlike any other sump pump on the market today. (To learn more about our sump pumps click here!) This basement is now dry and usable for endless possibilities! This family couldn't be happier with their newly transformed space.

The ceiling of this Connecticut basement was very unattractive. Wire, pipes, and insulation were exposed to the room below. Connecticut Basement Systems recommends installing a drop ceiling when finishing basements. These allow easy access to shut off valves, wires, and pipes that lead to the rest of the home. The tiles of our drop ceilings are made of mineral wool, making them completely inorganic. Mold can only grow on organic material, so mold or mildew will never be an issue on our ceiling tiles. They will not sag from moisture in the middle, giving an eternal crisp, clean finish. Our tiles even come with a 30 year warranty against mold and sagging. After the installation of the new drop ceiling, the basement was much brighter and had a clean appearance. The stylish crown molding around the perimeter of the room gives a beautiful transition to where the wall meets the ceiling.

This was exactly what the homeowner was looking for when finishing their basement and were glad to be able to make this a stylish new living space.

These before and after pictures show an outdated basement that has been transformed into a bright and clean entertainment room.  In the before picture there is an exposed ceiling, cinderblock walls and a concrete floor. The after picture shows new beautiful flooring, bright walls and a finished ceiling. The homeowners will sure enjoy this now finished basement for years to come.

This before and after photoset is of a raised ranch basement. In the before picture you can see the outdated and unappealing wood paneling on the walls. The room also looks dark because the window is not allowing natural light to flow in. In the after picture you’ll see that our crew turned this dark and outdated basement into a bright, naturally-lit functional space.
