Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Tyngsboro, Massachusetts, had water entering their basement through their bulkhead. Their old sump pump couldn't effectively expell the water out of the basement. The homeowner reached out to EFS for them to replace their old sump with a new TripleSafe.

A homeowner in Moultonborough, New Hampshire went on vacation this past spring and came back home to a flooded basement. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection of the basement to find where the water was entering the basement. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowner and fully inspected the basement to propose a permanent solution to prevent water from collecting in the basement. We recommended installing a full-perimeter drainage system with a sump pump and dehumidifier. 

This homeowner has lived in their home in Acton, Massachusetts, for the past 30+ years. The homeowner has seen water appearing in the basement more frequently. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist Liam recommended upgrading their existing waterproofing system to include a better sump pump, perimeter drainage, wall encapsulation, and a dehumidifier to keep water and moisture out of the basement. 

A homeowner in Acton, Massachusetts, lives in a home built over 125 years ago. Since they purchased the home 25+ years ago they have seen water seep into the basement and puddle on the floor fairly consistently. They wanted to find a solution to prevent water from entering and collecting on the floor of the basement. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowner and recommended installing a perimeter drainage system in their basement. 

A homeowner in Acton, Massachusetts has lived in his home for the past 30 years and always had water enter his garage. With the situation getting progressively worse over time, water now enters the basement as well. Basement floods have caused damage to the bottom steps, forcing him to remove them. With the stress of foundation leaks becoming too much to bear, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions to waterproof the basement.

Our Design Specialist, Mark Proctor, recommended installing perimeter drainage and our TripleSafe sump pump system. This captures water along the foundation walls before being exposed to the basement, and is then delivered to the sump basin, where our three-pump system pumps the unwanted water out of the home through an exterior discharge line.

This before and after photo comparison highlights our crew's ability to bury the discharge system while leaving a minimal trace of the ground being dug up. The 25' of discharge line extended to the end of the backyard, providing a safe location for water to be disposed of. IceGuard was installed to this plumbing system to prohibit water from freezing in the pipes. This prevents the sump system getting backed up, eliminating the possibility of the sump basin overflowing and filling the basement with water.

With the systems installed, this homeowner now has peace of mind that his basement will always stay dry!
