Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water used to seep through the foundation walls of this Manchester home, making the basement wet and humid. To protect the walls and home from water damage, we installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic barrier that's perfect for unfinished basement walls. With a 25-year warranty for wear and tear, it's durable, washable, and has anti-microbial protection called UltraFresh, built right in! The homeowners can rest easy knowing that their basement is protected from leaks, even in heavy rains.

A homeowner in Broad Brook, CT was getting a lot of water coming into their basement. They made the smart decision to call us at Connecticut Basement Systems to find a solution. Once the homeowner scheduled an appointment, it would then be time for one of our Sales Consultants, Carey Benjamin, to go out to the home to assess the issues and provide a proper solution. 

Then after a proposal was made, it would be time for one of our Foremen, Al Guglielmoni, and his team to work on this project. They installed our perimeter WaterGuard system, running along the bottom of the walls below the concrete. Then they installed not one, but two of our sump pumps; one TripleSafe and one SuperSump Plus. They also installed CleanSpace on the walls to protect it from vapor, as well as installing a Sedona dehumidifier to reduce moisture and prevent mold growth. All of these systems would work together to collect water and pump it out of the home at a safe distance. Now this basement is completely dry and the homeowner was thrilled with the results! It went from having a musty smell to smelling clean and fresh!

Before, this Marlborough basement had a water issue that would make the finished area unwelcoming with damp carpet and a musty odor. The homeowner wanted her finished basement to be usable and practical. After doing some research, she decided to contact the experts at Connecticut Basement Systems for a permanent solution. 

The solution for this basement was to install DryTrak Baseboard Drain Pipe System. This system was necessary in this basement because it had monolithic flooring. We epoxy the drain pipe directly to the floor, leaving a slight opening along the top to collect water leaking in from the walls. Therefore, the basement is waterproofed without jackhammering! Half wall restoration was also performed to fix the damage that was caused by the water. The homeowner also decided to get rid of the original carpet and install ThermalDry Flooring to give the area a completed look. As you can see in the after photo, the basement was transformed to a dry and more comfortable area which is exactly what the homeowner had wanted! 

Before, this Marlborough basement had walls that were porous which allowed for water and air to flow through, making the area uncomfortable. The homeowner wanted a solution that would make the walls more attractive while also preventing air and moisture from flowing through. She contacted the experts at Connecticut Basement Systems to help her find the perfect solution.  

The solution was to install BrightWall, which is a waterproof wall panel that also acts as an effective moisture and vapor barrier. Other benefits include: stain resistantance, easy to clean, and are maintenance free. This is exactly what this Marlborough homeowner needed for her basement walls. The transformation of the before and after photos speaks for itself. Now the homeowner does not have to worry about seepage coming through the walls anymore.

Before, this Marlborough, CT basement had leaky basement walls. As moisture frequently made its way inside the home, it left behind unsightly stains on the walls and floors, and made the home susceptible to mold growth and further water damage. Hoping to protect his home from this problem, he reached out to the experts at Connecticut Basement Systems. Soon after, Sales Representative Glen Knafel arrived to evaluate the basement.

By the time the job was finished our experienced Foreman, Kevon Barnett, had gotten rid of the basement’s unsightly stains and solved its moisture issues. First, he installed WaterGuard, our patented perimeter drainage system, which catches water leaks where they begin and channels them to a sump pump. Then he installed Zen Walls throughout the basement, which prevent air and moisture from flowing into the basement space, and add give the room a clean, finished look. The homeowner was excited with the results, and happy to have a dry, clean basement.
