In 2010, I opened Scaldino Basement Solutions near Tuckahoe, NY, where we have completed basement door installations across properties of all ages and foundation types. Every job we take on gets the same standards: correct framing, waterproofed threshold, proper drainage, and a door that fits and seals correctly from day one. The free assessment we provide before every project is what makes that consistency possible.
Older cellar door installations in Tuckahoe, NY 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.
