I started Scaldino Basement Solutions in 2010 to provide homeowners in Garfield, NJ with basement improvements that address the root cause rather than patching symptoms. Basement door installation is part of that work. We install the full system at every property: frame, concrete apron, waterproofed threshold, flashing, and drainage. The goal is a door that does not leak and does not require repeated service calls to maintain its seal.
Older cellar door installations in Garfield, NJ frequently lack the waterproofed threshold, proper flashing, and drainage that a correct installation requires. That gap between what was installed and what should have been installed is where water enters. Scaldino Basement Solutions evaluates the frame, apron, and drainage at every property before proposing a replacement or new installation approach suited to the specific opening condition and site drainage. The resulting installation addresses every element that allows water to reach the basement below the door opening.
