Professional Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Company in Westchester County, NY

This Amawalk, NY homeowner was tired of letting his basement go to waste as an empty, unfinished space. He had a lot of square footage in his basement but could not make use of it because the ceiling, walls, and floor were all unfinished. The lack of insulation downstairs also made it unsuitable for storage, as high humidity and moisture would damage most items that were left down there. Finally, he decided to reach out to the experts at Total Basement Finishing to help him transform his unfinished basement into a beautiful living space.

On the day of the appointment, Sales Representative Ralph Cioffi traveled to the home to assess the basement. Ralph saw that this was going to be an extensive finishing project, but he also knew that finishing the basement would be a huge addition to the home. The large space could provide a spacious living area and finishing the area properly would likely improve its energy efficiency to some degree. Ralph shared his thoughts with the homeowner and proposed a few solutions that would help transform his basement. The homeowner agreed with Ralph’s assessment and decided to move forward with the project.

On the day of production, Foreman Micah Smith and his crew arrived at the home to begin their work. They began by installing EverLast walls throughout the basement. EverLast panels are made from 2 ½ inch thick rigid foam insulation, and a ½ inch thick concrete cladding. The concrete surface is finished with a vinyl surface treatment – a combination that helps make EverLast 197% stronger than traditional drywall. Since EverLast includes insulation in every panel, there is no need to install bothersome fiberglass batts. In addition to its convenience and durability, this patented wall system offers an excellent R-value of R-13, boosting energy efficiency and helping to keep the basement comfortable.

Next, the crew installed ThermalDry Charcoal Carpeting. ThermalDry comes in 1’x1’ square tiles that snap together with interlocking joints. This design makes them extremely easy to install, and even makes it easy for homeowners to replace damaged tiles. Each tile sits on small plastic pegs that elevate ThermalDry above the concrete floor of an unfinished basement. This creates a thermal break between the cold concrete floor and the carpet tiles, which succeeds in keeping ThermalDry 8-10 degrees warmer than the concrete for a more comfortable and aesthetic basement space. This patented flooring system can even be installed without subflooring and will not support mold growth or be damaged by moisture.

As the crew finished up, the homeowner could not believe that transformation that his basement had undergone. With attractive finished floors and the clean look of EverLast, his once drab basement was now unrecognizable. He was pleased with the results and could not wait to enjoy his new finished basement for years to come.

A couple located in New Rochelle, New York had been having water issues in their basement for a few months. The water was coming up through the basement floor as well as having water issues in different ducts in the basement. They decided that they needed to find people who would be able to waterproof their basement in a cost-effective and time-efficient way. That’s when they called up Connecticut Basement Systems in search of our assistance.

With the help of our sales representative, Vincent Orsini, the homeowners were able to get an no-obligation estimate and an inspection at no cost to them. After the inspection had been done, Vincent laid out the plans to waterproof their basement and after working with the couple, our crew had the ideal waterproofing system drawn up. Now all that was needed to be done was the installation of all the solutions we thought fit best to fully waterproof this basement.

Once our crew was assembled and had all of the solutions on sight and ready to be installed, the team got to work. With the installation of an UltraSump III, ThermalDry tiles, a WaterGuard waterproofing system, and a SaniDry dehumidifier for the ducts, there was no fear of any more water issues in this couple’s basement. With our sump pump working together with the WaterGuard water collecting system, water was not going to be getting into any unwanted areas of the basement. The ThermalDry flooring tiles were installed to keep the basement floors extra dry and extra warm while the SaniDry was able to filter out any unsafe particles in the ducts so the basement was filled with clean, safe air. Although these systems all work together it is important to understand that without waterproofing the basement first, there is no sense in adding flooring. Our expert crew made sure that the flooring was the final stage of this plan and that any aspect of basement finishing should be done following installing a proper waterproofing system. 

Our foreman, Noel Harvey did a great job with the installations of all of our products and making the homeowners satisfied with their now completely waterproofed basement. Without the help of our outstanding professionals, this couple could still be paying thousands of dollars for recurring water damage. However, they will not have to worry about that now with their newly waterproofed basement.
