SmartJack Installation in Hamden, CT

This family's crawl space was starting to bounce and slag, and they knew they needed a change fast. They knew it meant serious structural damage.  They needed a solution, and they needed one fast, so they gave us a call at Connecticut Basement Systems, and we were happy to come out!

Brad Glazer came out to look at the space, and quickly deduced that this family needed SmartJack crawl space stabilizers to make their space safe again. Sergio Alves and his team came out, and quickly got to work! Each SmartJack post rests on a precast concrete pad that is set on a base of compacted stone. This engineered structural system won’t settle like masonry piers can; nor will it rot or shift like a wood post. These posts are guaranteed to get your sagging crawl space to where it needs to be!

WaterGuard System in Hamden, CT

This Hamden basement before photo is a great example of how unwanted water can cause an area to look terrible and unwelcoming. The homeowner did not appreciate the water that was making his valuable basement unusable. He wanted a solution to keep his basement dry all year around and decided to give Connecticut Basement Systems a call! 

On the day of the appointment, our System Design Specialist, Rick Raucci, arrived at the home to give the homeowner a free home evaluation. He concluded that a WaterGuard System paired with a TripleSafe Sump Pump would be the perfect solution for all of the homeowner’s concerns. The homeowner agreed and with no time to waste, Cisco Berrios and his production team started on the installation process.

The WaterGuard System is installed around the perimeter of the basement walls back filled with gravel. Once installed, it is paved over with cement, as seen in the after photo. This system will channel the water internally and lead it to the sump pump. The homeowner decided to install a TripleSafe Sump Pump to direct the water away from the house. With the combination of these two products, the basement should not experience any more floods. 

The homeowner is extremely happy with his waterproofed basement and can now utilize the open space efficiently!

Basement Waterproofing a Basement in Hamden, CT

A Hamden homeowner was getting water seepage in their basement. They called us at Connecticut Basement Systems for a permanent solution. Our Salesman, Cary Benjamin, went to the home to assess the basement and propose our waterproofing system as the solution. 

Soon after, it will be time for one of our Foremen, Al, and his crew to install the proposed work. They installed our WaterGuard drainage system below the floor, around the entire perimeter of the basement, to capture water seepage. Then, they installed our TripleSafe sump pump to collect the water and safely pump it out of the home. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier was also installed on the walls to protect and prevent moisture damage. 

Now, with our system in place, this entire basement will stay dry. This leaves the homeowner with nothing but great peace of mind.
