This Willington basement had water problems every time it rained. The water entering the basement would leave the basement to be a dreary, wet and unwelcoming space. The homeowner was especially annoyed with the water damaging the floor of the area. Wanting a solution to solve his wet basement, he decided to contact the experts at Connecticut Basement Systems. 

On the day of the appointment, Sales Representative Glen Knafel arrived at the home to inspect the basement.

This is exactly what the homeowner wanted and decided to move forward with the project. 

On the day of Production, Foreman Krzystof Wilk arrived at the home to install the products efficiently and professionally. The perimeter of the basement had to be excavated in order to install the WaterGuard system. This system connected to our SuperSump pump system which will effectively discharge any water trying to enter the basement. In addition, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was also installed to keep humidity low in the area, creating a healthier environment.

He decided to reach out to the experts a Connecticut Basement Systems to help find him a solution. 

The solution for this basement was to install a WaterGuard system. This system is installed internally below the ground around the perimeter of the basement. The water will be collected in this system before it reaches the area of the basement. From there, the water is channeled into a sump pump system.

Once the family decided to take action to replace these walls, they called us in order to rid their family space or harmful and pungent mold growths.

Once it was time for the appointment, our salesman suggested that Everlast walls would be the perfect replacement for having a beautiful new look in the basement, as well as keeping mold from growing through the walls.

This homeowner in Andover, CT was struggling with water in their basement. They decided to call us at Connecticut Basement Systems to find a solution for their water problem. After scheduling an appointment, one of our Sales Consultants, Mike Bourdeau, went out to the home to see what was going on. He then proposed a proper solution for the issue. He informed the homeowner that they would need our waterproofing systems in order to make their basement completely dry. 

This job would be best for one of our Foremen, Cisco Berrios, and his crew. They would begin by installing a perimeter WaterGuard drainage system. This would go below the floor to collect any water coming in from the floors or walls. They also installed a TrenchDrain at the bottom of the stairs to collect any water coming in from the slope. This would then get drained into the TripleSafe sump pump that they installed. This sump pump uses a three-pump system, one with a battery backup. Then the TripleSafe would pump out all that water through a discharge line at a safe distance from the home. This means no more water in the basement and the customer is happy with the results! Now this basement will stay nice an dry into the future.

The TripleSafe uses 3 pumps; a primary, a secondary, and a battery backup which can pump over 11,000 gallons on a full charge. This system will always be working, even if the power goes out. Now with these systems, this basement will stay dry all the time, giving the homeowner peace of mind. 

A homeowner in Hebron called us and said they had a shifting and settling foundation that they wanted us to repair. We sent out one of our Sales Consultants, Tim Kane, to the home to assess the issues and propose a solution that will solve this problem for good! He informed them that they would need our crew to install foundation push piers to stabilize and lift the home up. 

One of our Foremen, Sergio Alves, and his helper Jacob Scott, would tackle the installation of this job. This job required push piers. They installed multiple around the outside of the home. These piers get installed below the foundation footing where they drive steel piers into the ground to lift the home into place and stabilize it. To do all of this, they have to dig a trench deep into the ground to then install brackets below the footing. Then they use hydraulic pressure to slowly push the steel piers through the bracket and into the ground below. This is done until a certain pressure is reached and the piers have gone deep into the ground. They are lifted and stabilized to a certain pressure that the homeowner is satisfied with. Then the crew caps off each push pier bracket and can finally backfill the trench. Now this home is stable and has lifted into position, giving the homeowner peace of mind!
