Connecticut Basement Systems Before & After Photos

With a monolitic floor, it can often be difficult to install a below-floor drain due to the thickness of the concrete. To allieviate water pressure that builds up around the foundation and prevent cracking, our team drilled weep holes around the perimeter of the basement, and then covered them with the DryTrak perimeter drain system.  

Before we came in, the crawlspace had no access well. It was a hole in the side of the home that was open to any bugs, rodents, water, or even people that came in. We installed a Turtl access well. This airtight covered well is made of durable plastic, so it will never corrode or rot. It also has the added benefit of being lockable, for guaranteed security.

The old support posts in this crawl space were sinking, causing the floor above them to sag. To prevent any structural issues in the future, including wall cracks and unsafe floors, we installed SmartJacks. SmartJacks are a permant solution to the sagging floors, and can be ajusted to push the floor back up to the exact position it was originally. The owners of this home can rest easy knowing that their home is well-supported.

The owners of this home wanted extra living space in their home, but their basement was too cold and drab to use for anything but storage. With our innovative finishing products specifically designed for basements, we were able to create a comfortable, beautiful space for the family to enjoy! The MillCreek flooring has an authentic wood grain top surface, printed on a solid vinyl base that can’t be damaged by mold, moisture, or insects, and the EverLast basement wall panels are engineered to never get moldy or rot. With the risk of humidity and moisture that's so common in basements, these products are the ideal basement finishing materials!

When we arrived in this home, we found that water was leaking inside through the garage door. When we encounter this kind of situation, we usually recommend our TrenchDrain drainage pipe system. It is uniquely designed to span doorways, garage entrances, and similar entryway doors. TrenchDrain resembles half of a basement drainage pipe, with a grated opening fitted snugly on top. In this home, we installed this grated drain flush with the floor, eliminating any tripping hazard. Any water that will pass over the drain is collected through the openings and redirected to the sump pump. The owners of this house can rest easy knowing that their garage is protected against leaks!
