A New Canaan homeowner was getting water seepage in their basement due to heavy rains. They called us at Connecticut Basement Systems to find a permanent solution. We sent out one of our Salesmen, James Stablein, to the home to assess the basement and propose a waterproofing solution.
Eventually, it would be time for one of our Foremen, Marcial Lopez, and his crew to install the proposed job. They installed our WaterGuard drainage system below the floor, around the entire perimeter of the basement to collect water coming in from the walls or the ground. Then they installed our TripleSafe sump pump to take the collected water and pump it out of the home at a safe distance.
With our systems in place, this entire basement will now stay dry. The homeowner is left with nothing but peace of mind.
Here we used a Trench Drain system to direct water out of the garage. BrightWall was also added to keep the walls from molding and brighten up the space. We also used an IceGuard system to prevent water from backing up during cold connecticut winters.
This basement was having water problems. We added a Trenchdrain, DryTrak, and sump pump to remove water from the basement.
As you see from the before picture we opened up the floor around the walls to install TrenchDrain, Waterguard and a TripleSafe Sump pump to remove water from the basement. On the outside of the house we put in Iceguard to prevent water from backing up as a result of frozen pipes.
When we arrived in this basement, it was wet and leaky. However, becasue of the thick, monolithic floors, installing a conventional perimeter drain would be impractical and inefficient. Instead, we used the DryTrak baseboard drain pipe. DryTrak drainage channel has a unique profile designed to capture wall seepage and ground water that leaks into the basement along the floor/wall joint. When combined with a high-performance sump pump system from Basement Systems, DryTrak drainage provides an effective, worry-free solution to basement water problems.
