After living in this state for 36 years, I am certain that Connecticut Basement Systems can help you with all things basementy

Those guys are ridiculous! Motherfuckers wanted 20k, half up front and a 5 month wait time to start. They’d sell you the Taj Mahal if they could.

Off of a Reddit comment recommendation of someone who had a similar experience, we used Brilliant Basement waterproofing based out of Lisbon. They came down to us in upper Fairfield county.

Small business, really good people, about half the cost and they did a great job

Yes they can, they just did my basement a few months ago. Started getting water more frequently over the last year or two to the point every time it rained I get some water from a couple different points. Our house is over 100 years old and has a fieldstone foundation. It wasn't cheap but the basement is nice and dry now. Good quality work too.

50' WaterGuard drain where the floor meets the wall, sump pump, exterior drain and dry well 20' away from from the house and vinyl wall covering above the drain came to $6,000. I had water coming in from two corners. They spent nearly 3 hours jack hammering the basement floor. I also needed an electrician to run a dedicated 20 amp outlet to the pump, not included in the price.

That’s actually a very reasonable, if not low, price
