"Working with Chris and the greater group of Dynamic Basement was an absolute pleasure. From day one, Chris went above and beyond. Starting nearly a year prior to starting our project, Chris was one of the only businesses to answer our initial quote questions. We were not ready at the time, but that did not stop Chris from continuing our conversations and answering our many questions. Fast forward a year later and selecting Chris and his team was the best decision we made. His attention to detail, genuine care and priority for meeting our vision and needs, and craftsmanship is only the tip of the iceberg when you work with Chris and each of the professionals he works with. We were so thankful for the clear and consistent communication, continued willingness to answer our questions (and there were many!), and how he treated us as friends rather than clients. Our finished basement is beyond our expectations, meeting our budget and timeline needs. Chris was able to work with us through every detail, never overlooking or disregarding what we wanted. My family and I highly recommend working with Chris and Dynamic Basements for exceptional quality!"

"What can I say about American Dry Basement Systems? A few years ago, our area experienced an extraordinary amount of rainfall. My backyard looked like a pond, and water was rising all the way to the back of my house. At the time, there was already some water in the basement, but I believed I had a solid plan in place to manage it—completely unaware of the damage that was about to unfold. The next day, I went downstairs to check the situation and was devastated to find nearly four feet of water filling my basement. Storage totes were floating, along with irreplaceable family artifacts that meant the world to me—pieces of history from loved ones who are no longer here. I immediately tried contacting the fire department, but I wasn’t alone in this situation; many others were dealing with flooding as well. With no other option, I had to purchase another water pump. After a grueling 10-hour ordeal, the water was finally removed. Unfortunately, the damage was already done. I lost cherishe"

Bath Planet of CT proudly serves its customers with pride, integrity, and attention to the details that matter most to you. This is one of the many things that sets us apart from the rest. We are locally owned and operated. Give us a call today! Is your old bathtub becoming difficult to clean? Are there unsightly cracks and chips that seem to multiply each day? A bath replacement does not have to be a time-consuming mess. Bath Planet of CT is a bath remodeling company created with the goal of providing you with the bathroom renovation of your dreams in as little as a single day and at a fraction of the cost.

"We hired Bath Planet of CT for a bathroom remodel. For $25k (for a small bathroom 5.5? x 7.5?) we got nothing but disaster. I should have put a stop to it all during demo when they ruined every wall surrounding and the ceiling below (all of which were brand new due to water damage). But it they promised to fix it. The company has a license but the crews do not. There are no qualified plumbers yet they mess around with plumbing. And they destroyed it. They stuck an unsealed flange REPAIR KIT without a wax ring into our sewage pipe (that they bent when cutting). Our home has smelled like sewage and the company refused to take onus and repair it! It has been horrible living like this and has been dangerous to my family?s health and our home.After going back and forth for months, we finally had to hire a plumber and he unearthed the disaster underneath the toilet. He said he has never seen anything so horrible in his 27 years being a plumber. Next are the walls and ceiling, on OUR dime?! "

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

The most cost-effective foundation repair is using masonry patches and sealants to seal foundation cracks and offer some support to prevent further damage. These methods are used to fix minor foundation cracks quickly. However, they’re not suitable as a long-term solution, and they only offer minimal stability. On average, masonry patches and sealants cost $500, but a sealant like an epoxy crack injection can total over $2,000. If you’re handy and only looking for a temporary solution until you contact a local foundation repair contractor for a more permanent one, you can save hundreds by DIYing this repair.

The process is different for each type of drainage system. But no matter your drainage system type, you’ll have to start by digging a hole or trench. To install an effective French drain, for example, you’ll need to dig a trench, line it with filter fabric, pour gravel inside, hook up pipe connections, set the pipe, and cover it with gravel.

You can use shovels or rent a trencher, depending on the size of the trench or hole you’re digging. You generally don’t need a permit from the city to install a drainage system on your own property, but if the work involves changing a structure or electrical work, contact your municipality to check the requirements.

Yes, slab leaks are fairly common, especially in older homes and places that are prone to earthquakes which can move home foundations.

In most cases, yes, because the large majority of basements leak or will have moisture issues at some point, and waterproofing methods can mitigate that risk or eliminate it entirely. Plus, water and moisture issues can be quite problematic, as they can lead to mold growth, rotting of building materials, structural damage, poor indoor air quality, increased electric bills, and other problems.

A sump pump can be added to an existing basement. To do this, you will need to use a jackhammer or sledgehammer to break up the concrete and dig a pit. You will also need to create a hole in your basement wall to run the discharge pipe through.
