I started Scaldino Basement Solutions in 2010 to provide homeowners in South Brunswick, 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.
Leaking water around the threshold, rust-through on the frame, and a door that binds or sags are the most common signs that a basement door has reached the end of its service life in South Brunswick, NJ. Older cellar doors often lack proper flashing and drainage, which allows water to pool against the frame and work through the concrete surrounding the opening. Scaldino Basement Solutions evaluates the full opening condition during every site visit in South Brunswick, NJ, checking the frame, threshold, apron, drainage slope, and concrete integrity before recommending replacement or new installation. The free assessment covers whether the existing concrete can be retained or must be repoured as part of the project scope.
