Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Fairfield, CT basement leaked all the time before we arrived, causing damage to the items in the basement. It was a humid space that was damaging the value of the home. With the installation of our TripleSafe sump pump system and SaniDry dehumidifier, we were able to create a dry basement environment that was a great asset to the home.

When we arrived at this Fairfield, CT basement, it was damp and moldy. To remedy this basement water problem, we installed the WaterGuard perimeter drain. This innivative drain captures both groundwater that flows in through the wall-floor joint and any water that seeps through the wall above it. The CleanSpace along the walls is used to redirect water from the walls to the floor drain. The owners of this home can rest easy knowing that their basement is well-protected against water!

As you can see in the before photo, this Fairfield, CT basement was constantly filling with water, and was beginning to cause damage to the space's flooring and walls. These homeowners decided to give us a call at Connecticut Basement Systems to help fix the problem! In order to combat improper drainage, we went ahead and replaced the home's old sump pump with our own SuperPump. While their original pump lacked a lid, ours come with an airtight closure to keep out pests and debris. For proper drainage, we installed both our TrenchDrain and WaterGuard systems to ensure the space was permanently safe from any further water problems. Finally, to combat any unwanted moisture, and future mold problems, we installed our SaniDry Dehumidifier. This will create clean, dry air, and remove the risk of potential mold growth within the room. We left feeling confident in our work, and knowing this family would have a clean, safe space to use for years to come!

The basement in this Fairfield, CT was dirty, wet, and visually unappealing. This family needed a solution they knew would work, so they gave us a call at Connecticut Basement Systems. We were happy to come out and help them!

Our System Design Specialist, Vin Orsini, quickly came out to their home and evaluated what needed to be done to get their basement in tip-top shape. Our expert, Kryz Wilk, and his team came out quickly after to get the job started! The first they did was install a TrenchDrain at the base of the basement's stairs. This grated drainage pipe is installed at the entry way of the basement, and it resembles half of a basement drainage pipe, with a grated opening fitted snugly on top. The grate is flush or slightly below the floor, eliminating any tripping hazard. We also installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. This drainage system is nearly invisible, and unlike others, is installed in the interior of the basement and is designed to capture the water along the wall/floor junction. This all connects to the TripleSafe sump pump, a three pump system that pumps water out quickly and efficiently. It provides durability and reliability, and even in the most dangerous situations, there is a back up battery so you never have to worry about it overflowing.

This Fairfield basement had frequent water that was causing a nuisance for the homeowner. An insufficient sump pump seemed to be the cause of this water problem. An insufficient sump pump will prevent water exiting the basement properly. The homeowner decided to call Connecticut Basement Systems and set an appointment to help find him a solution. 

The solution to this sump pump problem was to install a SuperSump pump. The SuperSump pump includes a Zoeller 1/3 horsepower cast-iron sump pump. This powerful pump is capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour! The water is collected from the WaterGuard system which was also installed and goes through the SuperSump pump and through the discharge line, away from the basement.

Now, this homeowner enjoys a dry, clean basement all year long!
