Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Topsfield, Massachusetts, reached out to EFS because they had concerns with multiple things in their basement. Our Design Specialist recommended installing a new TripleSafe, 30' of WaterGuard, 50' of NexusPro, 8 SmartJacks, and a SaniDry Sedona into the basement to eliminate the concerns in their basement. 

Facing a daunting challenge in Topsfield, MA, our recent client dreamt of a dry, finished basement but was stuck with a sump basin and a flawed discharge line, compromising moisture protection and peace of mind. As you can see in the 'before' photo, the space showed the clear need for an upgrade. Erickson Foundation Solutions stepped in, bringing our expertise with the SuperSump and IceGuard systems to the fore. Notice in the 'after' photo, the dramatic transformation: a professional, robust waterproofing solution now lays the foundation for a livable, finish-ready basement. Our mission was clear - provide a remarkable experience and a lasting solution, and that's exactly what we did.

A homeowner in Epping, New Hampshire, had moved into their 1950s home approximately 5 years and since day one they have seen water collecting in the basement. The homeowners reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their basement to find a solution to prevent water from seeping into the basement. After the conclusion of the inspection, our Design Specialist recommended installing a full perimeter drainage system. This includes WaterGuard, TrenchDrain, TripleSafe sump pump, IceGuard, and 10' of Exterior Drainage Line.

This homeowner in Salem, Massachusetts, had an existing drainage system installed in their basement and the basement was now leaking from a different area. The homeowner reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their basement to add more drainage. Our Design Specialist Michael LaMalfa visited the home and recommended installing a TripeSafe, WaterGuard, SaniDry, and a feed line into the basement to capture any water that attempts to enter the basement. 

A homeowner in Salem, Massachusetts has experienced damages in her finished basement due to her sump pump failing to work. Without the sump pump working, the sump basin overflows and floods the stair area of the basement. This has led to the homeowner having to remove her carpet. Sick of having a constantly wet basement, she called our Erickson team for a permanent solution.

Our Design Specialist, George Gouthier, recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage, TripleSafe sump pump system, and CleanSpace vapor barrier. The perimeter drainage system intercepts water before being exposed to the basement walls and floor, and is then directed towards the sump pump basin. From there, the TripleSafe sump pump system pumps the water out of the home through an exterior discharge line. This system is guaranteed not to fail due to our three-pump system. The first pump handles normal water levels while operating at 1/3 horsepower. A second pump is activated during events such as heavy rains or melting, when water levels are typically higher. Lastly, a battery-backup pump is used in the event of an emergency such as a power outage. The CleanSpace vapor barrier eliminates moisture in the basement by directing it to the WaterGuard system.

Although the placement of this sump pump system was difficult, our team welcomed the challenge. We were happy to provide this homeowner with a permanently dry basement!
