Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

These homeowners in North Chelmsford were tired of their basement having a wet, musty smell. They planned to finish a section of the basement area in the near future, and so knew they needed to solve their water and moisture problem first. Their old sump pump was functional, but sitting in an exposed pit of water, which allowed mold to grow and moisture to spread. 

Our team proposed and installed a complete waterproofing system that would allow them to have a dry basement. First, the walls were encapsulated with CleanSpace vapor barrier, which effectively captures all moisture leaking through the basement walls. Next, we added a perimeter drainage system called WaterGuard along the base of all the foundation walls. Any water entering the basement from the edges of the foundation would be caught by the WaterGuard tracks and directed to the sump pump basin. The TripleSafe system within the basin includes 3 sump pumps and an alarm system. This waterproofing system also comes with a battery back-up, in case the home ever loses power during a storm. 

To further help control moisture levels in the basement, the homeowners purchased a SaniDry dehumidifier, the most effective dehumidifier on the market. This is all backed up by our full warranty and our All Things Basementy network!

With this complete waterproofing system in place, they have peace of mind that their basement will stay dry all the time! 

This homeowner in Auburndale, Massachusetts, has owned their home for the past 14 years. They had water entering their home periodically over the last decade. They called EFS for a free inspection of their basement and our Design Specialist recommended installing a perimeter drainage system into the basement to collect any water from the basement and pump it outside the home. 

Our team installed 11' of WaterGuard, 12' of CleanSpace, a TripleSafe, and IceGuard with an Exterior Drainage Line to prevent water from collecting in the basement. 

A homeowner in Manchester, New Hampshire, has lived in their home since the late 1970s. Last year, the homeowners noticed water coming into their basement during heavy rains. To find out how the water was coming into the basement the homeowners called EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist looked at the interior and exterior of the home to find where the water was coming in. Our Specialist found that water was seeping into the basement through the window. We recommend installing our SunHouse Enclosures to prevent water from flowing through the window and into the basement. 

A homeowner in Methuen Massachusetts, had lived in their home for the past 7 years. They have always had a sump pump system installed in their basement but the pump was pumping constantly. They decided they would like to upgrade their current system. They contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions to inspect their home and look at their current system. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowner and recommended installing a new sump pump system in their basement. Our Specialist recommended installing a SuperSump, SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, IceGuard, and Exterior Drainage Line to the home to pump and carry water away from the foundation of the home. 

This homeowner in East Kingston, NH had been experiencing a wet basement since the day he moved into the house. The high amount of moisture led to mold forming throughout the basement and also the first floor. After 22 years of experiencing this uncomfortable humidity, the homeowner decided to reach out to our Erickson Foundation Solutions team to make a change.

Our Design Specialist, Victor Tapia, suggested installing our SaniDry Dehumidifier to eliminate these issues. This system not only provides a dry environment, but also drains automatically, as well as removes mold spores and other irritants and allergens.

Now that the SaniDry Dehumidifier is installed, this homeowner can finally enjoy his basement and take comfort in knowing that mold will no longer be an issue.
