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, has seen water entering their basement for the last two years. They called EFS for us to find a solution to prevent water from entering the basement. We recommended installing a TripleSafe Sump Pump in the basement to prevent water from collecting inside the basement. 

Our team installed the TripleSafe in the lowest corner of the basement to collect any water that threatens to enter. The sump will keep the basement dry so the homeowner can create a TV Room/ Album Collection Room down there. 

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!

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire has lived in his home for over 40 years. Several years ago, he noticed that his basement would leak. In order to fix this, he had a sump pump installed. This pump isn't working as it was intended to, resulting in the basement flooding. Looking for a permanent solution keep his basement dry; he reached out to our Erickson team.

Our Design Specialist, John Prince, recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage, SuperSump sump pump, and FlexiSpan crack sealant. Our crew started installing this waterproofing system by chipping our concrete along the border of the basement floor to make space for the WaterGuard drainage. This system captures water at the perimeter of the basement before being exposed to the walls or floor. The water collected then flows to our SuperSump sump pump. A new basin was created for the sump pump to sit in since the previous basin was not in the ideal spot. A feed line was installed connecting the old basin to the new basin in order to allow the new sump system to pump out the unwanted water. Once these systems were installed, they were cemented in place. An exterior discharge line was then installed to the sump pump to direct water safely out of the home. IceGuard was installed to the discharge line to prevent the pipe from freezing, which prevents sump pumps from backing up and flooding. Lastly, FlexiSpan crack sealant was used to seal a large crack in the basement wall. This sealant stops water from making its way through the crack, and is able to adjust to settlement, making it a long-lasting solution.

With the job now complete, crew lead Ryan Champagne went over a final walkthrough with the homeowner. He was thrilled that he would never have to deal with the annoying cleanup process again!
