Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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 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. 

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire is looking to finish his basement. Leakage in the foundation was fairly minimal for the first 15 years of living in the home, but seepage has become a big issue over the past year. The homeowner is looking to waterproof the basement before finishing it to ensure that it will be protected. This led him to reach out to our Erickson team.

After scheduling an appointment through our Customer Care team, our Design Specialist Bryan Barnard went out to the home to offer a free inspection. He recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage, TripleSafe sump pump system, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to waterproof the basement. The WaterGuard perimeter drainage system collects water along the border of the foundation footing without coming into contact with the basement walls or floor. This system then delivers the water to a basin that is made in the foundation. The TripleSafe sump pump system rests in that basin and connects to the WaterGuard system to pump the water out of the home. Once installed, these systems are cemented in place. An exterior drainage line is connected to the TripleSafe to allow the water to be pumped safely out of the home. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier is then installed to the TripleSafe to reduce moisture and provide healthy air to create a comfortable living space.

With the waterproofing system in place, this homeowner can create his dream finished basement with peace of mind that it will remain dry!
