Connecticut Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This basement had prevalent water damage on the wall due to water and air moisture leaking through. There was clearly a problem, so the homeowner decided to call Connecticut Basement Systems to help find him a solution.

The solution for this basement was to install a WaterGuard system as well as BrightWall. The WaterGuard system is a below the floor system that collects water internally before it even enters the basement. It then channels that water to a sump pump that will discharge the water away from the basement. The BrightWall was installed to not only give the basement a fresh, clean look but it also waterproof, stain resistant and easy to clean. Now, this Trumbull homeowner can enjoy his clean and dry basement! 

Before, this Trumbull home had its window space blocked off. Not only did this look unappealing, but drafts were causing the area to become uncomfortable. The homeowner wanted to upgrade his windows to be energy efficient and to let in a lot of natural light.

The solution to this problem was to install our EverLast windows. Our windows are superior to competitors because it is built with reinforced vinyl frames that will not rust or rot and have double-pane glass to help prevent heat loss which makes it energy efficient. Not only are these windows practical for any home but they also let in a lot of natural light that will brighten the area. This is exactly what the homeowner had wanted and was pleased with the results! 

Before, this Trumbull basement needed an egress window to follow required building codes for their finished basement. The homeowner contacted the experts at Connecticut Basement Systems to provide the best solution. 

The solution for this home was to install a Rockwell Egress Window. This product offers an attractive alternative to most unpleasant window wells, while providing a safe, code-compliant basement egress. It combines both beauty and functionality to any basement. The natural light brightens the entire atmosphere of the basement while providing a safe emergency exit. There is also a safety cover that keeps debris and leaves out from blocking the window. The homeowner was pleased with the results and was happy he contacted the experts at Connecticut Basement Systems.

Before, the window well on the side of this home was an eyesore for these Trumbull, CT homeowners. The flimsy plastic cover had bent and warped over time, letting in a mess of water, leaves, and weeds. This caused the metal window well to grow dirty and rusty, and reduced the amount of natural light that could enter the basement.

Now, the window well sits subtly on the side of the house, free of dirt, mud and other debris. To transform this aspect of the home, our skilled foreman, Marcial Lopez, replaced the homeowners’ traditional metal window well with our SunHouse Basement Window Enclosure. SunHouse enclosures feature a durable plastic cover to keep outside forces away from your basement windows, ensuring a more pleasant view from both inside and outside the home. Unlike other window well designs, the SunHouse enclosure has a light-colored bottom, which allows more sunlight to bounce into the basement, maximizing natural light in the homeowner’s below-ground living space. 

Although this was just one piece of a larger home improvement project, the homeowners took notice of their window well transformation, and now enjoy the many positive impacts that this SunHouse Enclosure has made on their home.

Before, this Trumbull, CT basement was plagued by slow water leaks through its stone walls. As the water slowly crept in and evaporated, it left behind dirt and other unsightly marks on the walls of the basement. More than just a blemish, this dirt provides an organic surface on which mold can grow, which can lead to an unhealthy basement environment.

Our trusted waterproofing foreman, Sid Avis, used several of our patented products to correct the problem and transform the basement into a more pleasant space. First, he and his crew installed WaterGuard, an interior draining system, along the perimeter of the basement. Next, the crew attached CleanSpace liner around the basement walls, covering the leaky areas. In this case, CleanSpace works with WaterGuard to keep the basement dry and clean. CleanSpace, a heavy plastic liner, stops water vapor and drains wall leaks into the WaterGuard drain system below.

The homeowner was very pleased that Connecticut Basement Systems was able to correct the leaks in his basement, and even noticed that the CleanSpace liner had transformed his dark, dirty basement into a considerably brighter, more pleasant area in his home.
