A happy #CT customer blogs about how TripleSafe kept the basement dry.

Connecticut Basement Systems came out about three days later and put in the sump pump. It’s truly a beast. See boring picture below.

It rained heavily a few days later, and lo and behold, the sump pump works! No water AT ALL. We could hear it click on and flush out the water intermittently, so we know there was definitely the possibility of damage if we had done nothing.

This is an excerpt from the blog, which explains in detail how this Connecticut customer’s basement was flooded twice, between February and March 2010. The last time, it happened while they were on vacation.

They called us, and their once flood-prone basement is now dry, despite the heavy rains that have been hitting the East Coast this spring.

A Wet Basement can be a huge financial burden

Your Wet Basement May Be Costing You More Money Than You Would Pay to Have it Fixed

Your basement is unsightly, unpleasant, and uncomfortable. It is dark, dingy and smells horribly. However, since you only use it to store some items or as a laundry room, you don’t really care much about how your
basement looks and feels like. You only go there when strictly necessary and rarely spend more than a few minutes in it.

Truth is that your cave-like basement is more than just an eye sore. It might be costing you a lot of money as well, and in more than one way.

Avoiding Big Basement Disasters

Five Common Mistakes People Make with their Basements

After three years of living in basement-related forums & web sites on a daily basis, I’ve come to a few conclusions:

  1. Basement-related web sites and forums have become an impossible maze of bad advice, fad markets, and outdated advice.
  2. Homeowners are taking this advice & returning to the same forums when the advice fails
  3. Repeat Steps 1 & 2

As part of a network that’s been reputable in the basement business since 1987 nationally, we’d like to send some good horse sense into the ether.

Here, unequivocally, are the five most common mistakes that lead to disasters in the basement:
