Janelle and Joe were in the process of finishing their basement. Unfortunately, a crack appeared in the wall during that process and now there is a fear that the basement will flood. The French drain that they had installed has not diverted water in the way that they had hoped. They reached out to our team so that they did not have to fear of a flood every time it rains.

After meeting with our Design Specialist, we recommended placing WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement which would filter into our TripleSafe Sump Pump. This would provide complete protection and then pump out the water to a safe location. After discussion, Janelle and Joe decided that they wanted to install our WaterGuard system along the wall that the crack appeared, which would filter into a sump pump that they already had installed. Additionally, our Installation Specialists used FlexiSpan to seal up the crack. Although this is not a complete waterproofed system, the problem has been solved. Additional WaterGuard perimeter drainage can be added in the future if need be.

Overall, this was a very smooth process. Janelle and Joe are happy that they can now finish their basement without fear of all their belongings being damaged in a flood.

A homeowner in Bow, New Hampshire, has a semi-finished basement that they would like to add a bedroom to.  To make sure they stay in code compliance with the town, the homeowners would need to install a window into their basement that could be used in case of an emergency. The homeowner called EFS about the installation of a window in the basement and Rockwell so they could climb out of the basement if needed. Our Design Specialist Victor inspected the basement and found the best location to install the new basement window and Rockwell. 

Our installation team began by exposing the foundation wall. Once exposed, the team cut out a section of the wall so they could install the new basement window. The team framed the window into the concrete and installed ample waterproofing to prevent water from seeping into the basement. After the window was installed the team then began to install the Rockwell against the foundation wall. The Rockwell was secured against the foundation wall and the team then installed crushed stone at the bottom of the Rockwell to help drain water. After, the team then began piloting holes into the foundation so we could secure the top of the RockWell door. The door will help to guide water and/or snow from collecting at the bottom of the Rockwell.  

The homeowner was very pleased with the installation of the basement window and RockWell to make their basement code compliant with the town of Bow, NH. They were now able to add the bedroom to the basement.

A homeowner in Bow, New Hampshire, has lived in their home for the past 35+ years. Since they moved in they have always had a few cracks in the garage slab. Over the past 35+ years, the cracks haven't gotten any worse but the homeowners would like to have them looked at. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist Isaac recommended installing PolyLevel to the front of the garage to fill any void and level the concrete, then using NexusPro to seal the horizontal crack across the garage.

Our team began by drilling small portholes in a grid pattern across the garage slab to fill the void under the slab. Next, they slowly and precisely fill the void under the slab. After the void was filled the team then used NexusPro to seal the cracks in the garage. 

The homeowners were very pleased with the void fill and crack seal in their garage. 

A homeowner in Bow, New Hampshire, purchased their home in 2020, and they first noticed their wall bowing in 2021. Since they noticed the wall bowing in 2021 they've seen the wall getting worse and worse over the next year. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection, and our design specialist found that the foundation wall was deflecting an inch. Our design specialist recommended installing Geolocks to stabilize the wall, NexusPro, and SealantPro to seal the cracks in the garage slab. 

Our production team began by digging a trench parallel to the foundation wall. The trench was dug 10 feet away from the foundation and will be used to hold the Geolock Wall Anchors. The team dug the trench by using an excavator. The trench was the length of the wall so the team could install the 7 Geolocks to the foundation wall. After the trench was dug the team moved inside to begin drilling holes for each Geolock to be installed. The team measured out where each of the 7 Geolocks will be installed and drilled a corresponding hole where the team can send the rod through the wall and into the trench using an impact gun. After each rod was sent through to the trench, the team attached Geolock Plates to each end of the rod. Once secured the team tightened the rods until they were all under pressure. They then tighten each rod a little until the wall is straightened and stabilized. After the Geolocks were installed the team then moved on to installing the NexusPro and SealantPro to seal the cracks in the garage. The team repaired a handful of small cracks in the garage using NexusPro and SealantPro. 

The homeowner was very pleased with the results of the project. They no longer have to worry about the foundation wall bowing anymore.

A homeowner in Bow, New Hampshire, lived in a 200-year-old home that has a granite foundation that has some stabilization issues. Our design specialist examined the foundation and recommended installing an Auxiliary Wall.

This homeowner in Bow, New Hampshire has lived in their home for 20 years. Last year they noticed a crack in the pool deck. Almost a year later they've noticed that it has gotten worse and become an eyesore. They decided they wanted to have it looked at, so they called EFS for a free inspection. 

Senior Design Specialist Michael LaMalfa inspected the entire pool deck. Michael measured the length of the crack to be 12' and the corner where the crack is down 2" from the rest of the pool deck. Michael recommended injecting PolyLevel into the settled corner of the pool deck. 

Crew Lead Nick Melo and his team injected PolyLevel into the settled corner and lifted it 2". After the corner was raised, Nick sealed the 12' crack with NexusPro.

Kevin O. knew when he bought his home in Bow, NH that there were some concerns with some cracks in the garage foundation walls and floor. Over the years the cracks grew slightly, and Kevin decided it was time to finally work towards finding a solution. He really wanted for his property to hold it's value, and sealing cracks and having a professional take a look at it for him would provide peace of mind.

Design specialist, Kyle Jamerson, inspected the cracks in the walls and floors, and it was determined there was not much movement or settlement action. With that in mind, the ideal, immediate solution was to seal the cracks with a polymer foam injection and NexusPro sealant. 

However, in order to keep an eye on the possibility of settlement under the foundation, our production team also installed crack monitors. These monitors will allow Kevin to notice if there is indeed any movement or settlement in his garage foundation. 

With the project completed, Kevin has peace of mind that his home is safe and stable.
