Before, this Stamford basement would frequently experience water seeping from the walls and floors. This was concerning for the homeowner and he wanted to find a permanent solution. He decided to contact the experts at Connecticut Basement Systems to come up with a resolution.
The solution for this basement was to install a WaterGuard system. This below the ground system will internally collect the water and channel it to the sump pump where it will be discharged properly away from the home. This system is installed by excavating the perimeter of the wall (and around other objects such as in the before and after photo) and the product is placed, backfilled with gravel and then paved over with cement. Now, the water that would normally make the basement wet is channeled properly to the sump pump. The homeowner is very satisfied with the project!
In this basement we installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump; our most reliable Sump system, with 3 levels of protection. We also installed Waterguard to drain water to the sump pump. And to finish it off we install CleanSpace to give the walls a more attractive appearance.
Before, these basement walls let moisture seep through into the basement, causing damage to the floor and walls. More than just a nuisance, the water damage created a moist environment suitable for mold growth, which can threaten both the value of the home and the health of its owners. Knowing they had to act quickly, these homeowners reached out to Connecticut Basement Systems for a lasting solution.
Once we arrived, we waterproofed the basement by installing our patented WaterGuard System, which runs along the perimeter of the basement and directs any leaking water into a sump pump. After this, Foreman Chavon Bowman replaced the damaged portions of drywall with more durable EverLast Wall Panels, which are made from inorganic materials, will not be damaged by water and can even withstand flooding. Complete with a decorative molding, these new wall panels help to give the home an improved look while also eliminating any potential for mold growth. As a result, these homeowners were quite pleased with this improved, dry basement.
This Stamford, CT home had a basement that was suffering from serious water damage. Water had been leaking in at the seam where this basement wall meets the floor, and was causing the base of the wall to rot away. This leak was turning the basement into an eyesore, and made it susceptible to mold growth. Seeking a solution for his problem, the homeowner did some online research and decided to schedule an appointment with the experts at Connecticut Basement Systems.
Soon after, sales representative Gary Meglino traveled to the home and met with the homeowner. Gary entered the basement and made an efficient assessment of the problem, then shared his findings with the homeowner. Together, they found the solution that would work best for him and his home. In the end, they agreed that the best option was to correct the problem using WaterGuard and CleanSpace.
WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that is installed along the inside perimeter of the basement walls. As water leaks into the basement, WaterGuard catches it and directs it to a sump pump, which then pumps the water up and out of the basement. Foreman Marcial Lopez and his crew are well-experienced at installing products like WaterGuard, so when they arrived to begin production, they worked carefully and efficiently to rid the home of all basement leaks. Once WaterGuard was installed, the crew finished up by installing CleanSpace along the base of the basement walls where they had worked. CleanSpace is ideal for jobs like this because it acts as a vapor barrier, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing into the basement. This limits basement moisture and helps to prevent mold growth.
When the team had finished, the homeowner was thrilled with the results. The unightly damage to his wall was gone, and so was the leak that caused it. The homeowner thanked the crew for their work and took comfort in knowing that his basement water issue had been solved.
