Scaldino Basement Solutions has worked across Newark, NJ and the surrounding area since 2010. Basement and cellar door installation is one of the services we provide to homeowners who need a door that seals correctly and does not admit water. We bring the full scope to every project, covering the frame, concrete, waterproofing, and drainage, so the installation holds up through every season.
Bilco and custom cellar doors that were installed without a properly waterproofed threshold or adequate drainage around the apron will eventually allow water to migrate into the basement. This is a common problem across Newark, NJ properties that were built before modern installation standards. Scaldino Basement Solutions inspects the full door opening, frame, concrete apron, and drainage during every free assessment to determine the scope of work required for a lasting installation. The evaluation identifies every contributing factor before a replacement or new installation is proposed for your Newark, NJ property.
