Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Merrimack, New Hampshire is selling her home and wants to maintain property value. The already existing sump pump in the basement has failed to keep up with water that leaks through the foundation during heavy rains. Due to negative experiences with previous companies, this homeowner valued quality and trust when choosing a company for this project. We were dedicated to providing a permanent solution for her wet basement.

Our Design Specialist, Peter Carstean, recommended installing our SuperSump sump pump to waterproof the basement. While being capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour, it is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. Our crew chipped out concrete and dug 24 inches deep to create the sump basin, installed the pump, and plumbed the discharge line from the sump pump to the backyard. It was then concreted in place.

With the previous sump pump being exposed, moisture was prone to causing mold within the basement. Our TripleSafe sump liner prevents this from occurring, while also keeping odors out and protecting your sump from debris on the basement floor.

With the new waterproofing system installed, the home selling process has become much easier. The homeowner now has peace of mind that the basement will stay dry.

A homeowner in Hudson, Massachusetts had water seeping through their basement slab. Their current sump pump system was not removing water from the home, leaving water under the finished floorboards. With concern that the leaking would get worse, she reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions in order to protect her investment.

After discussion with the homeowner, our Design Specialist, Mark Proctor, recommended installing two TripleSafe sump pump systems. One system was installed to replace the broken sump pump, and another was installed in a different location to ensure water is captured throughout the basement. This sump pump is guaranteed to pump water out of the home at all times due to our three-pump system. The first pump removes normal water levels throughout the home. A second pump is activated during events such as heavy rains or snow melting, making sure that the sump basin never overflows. A third battery-powered backup pump functions in emergency situations such as a power outage.

Once installed, these systems were cemented in place for a clean finish. The homeowner now has peace of mind that her finished basement will remain dry!

In Southborough, MA, this homeowner faced a perpetually wet dirt basement, hampering effective storage and compromising structural integrity with failing wooden support posts. Notice how the before photo captures the water and damaged elements that posed issues. To resolve this, we skillfully installed a comprehensive system: WaterGuard®, TripleSafe™ Sump Pump, UltraSump System, and IceGuard, coupled with SmartJack®. These systems were incased with a concrete floor pour. Our method permanently addressed the root causes of moisture and instability, as seen in the after photo, resulting in a dry, structural sound space with a concrete foundation fit for storage.

A homeowner in Stow, Massachusetts, reached out to us at EFS after their basement flooded on Christmas Eve. Our Design Specialist Justin recommended replacing their old sump pump with a TripleSafe. 

Our team installed our TripleSafe into the basement within a couple of hours. With our TripleSafe installed the homeowner won't have to worry about water collecting in their basement anymore.

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire, had recently purchased their home a couple of weeks ago. When they were going through the purchasing process the home was looked over by an inspector. During the home inspection, a crack in the foundation was found, which concerned the new homeowners. To protect their investment the homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist recommended installing a full perimeter drainage system. This system includes CleanSpace, WaterGuard, UltraSump, and an IceGuard. 

Our production team installed 140ft of WaterGuard, 140Sqft of CleanSpace on the walls of the basement, an UltraSump, and an IceGuard attached to the exterior drainage line.
