Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Shirley, Massachusetts had a sump pump that was unable to keep water out of the basement. Water was still coming in through the bulkhead and other areas when it rained. This has created mold concerns. Annoyed with the cleanup process and wanting to protect his investment, this homeowner reached out to our team to make sure his basement would always stay dry.

Our Design Specialist recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage, our TripleSafe sump pump system, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This combination of products waterproofs the basement by having the ability to collect water along the entire perimeter of the foundation, filtering it to the TripleSafe system, and then safely disposing it away from the home. Additionally, the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which is the most powerful on the market, keeps the space clean and comfortable by removing moisture.

Once installed, a fully waterproofed basement is created. The basement will now stay dry all the time!

In Shirley, MA, the homeowner faced water intrusion in their basement due to failed sump pump performance, leaving the area flooded. In the before photos, notice the water pooling on the floor. Our team at Erickson Foundation Solutions installed the CleanSpace encapsulation, WaterGuard drainage system, and robust TripleSafe Sump Pump. As seen in the after photos, these installations provided a permanent solution by effectively channeling water away, ensuring a dry, secure basement, ready for storage or entertainment.

Excessive moisture turned this Shirley, MA crawlspace from a problem area to a homeowner's dilemma, as you can see in the before photo.

Mark H. of Amherst, New Hampshire was experiencing water leaking into their basement for the past year. Mark is finishing the basement and doesn't want any more water leaking into the basement and threat ruining the basement when it's finished. Mark called Erickson Foundation Solutions to see if someone could come out and solve this reoccurring issue. 

Design Specialist Paul Magowan came to the home and inspected the area where water had been entering the basement. After Paul inspected the basement and the foundation wall he found where the water had been entering the basement. He proposed that EFS install Sentry Seal and some crushed stone to first stop water from coming through the foundation but to also help guide water away from the foundation. 

Crew Lead Nick Carrelli and his team came to the home and installed the Sentry Seal to the foundation and filled in 2' of crushed stone along the foundation wall.
