Sump Pump System Upgrade in Strafford, NH

A homeowner in Strafford, New Hampshire experienced leaks in his finished basement. This created an annoying cleanup process, as well as damages to the finished wall. His main concern was being away from home for long periods of time. As someone who frequently travels, he wanted peace of mind that his basement wouldn't flood while he is away.

Our Design Specialist, Jason Vachon, recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage and upgrading the liner to the already existing sump pump. WaterGuard collects water from the high-water table surrounding the home and delivers it to the sump pump. It is then pumped out of the home through an exterior discharge line. The basin that the sump pump used to sit in left the pump exposed, which can be problematic. The TripleSafe liner covers the pump, which prevents debris from clogging the system and minimizes humidity. Once WaterGuard is connected to the sump basin, they are cemented in place to ensure proper flow and create a smooth finish.

With the basement waterproofed, this homeowner finally has the peace of mind that he's been searching for.

Crack Repair and Waterproofing, Marblehead, MA

A homeowner was in search of a way to waterproof the basement so it could be turned into a 1/2 bedroom and 1/2 storage space. Without a waterproofing system in place, water would leak through cracks in the slab and puddle around the foundation. This homeowner reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions to eliminate water from the basement permanently.

After completing a free inspection, our Design Specialist recommended installing our SuperSump sump pump, NexusPro joint repair, and our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This system stops water from being able to enter the basement and safely removes it away from the home. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant that seals joints and cracks in your concrete slab and helps prevent the water from softening and/or eroding the soil underneath. The SuperSump sits at the lowest point of the basement cemented in a basin and pumps water out of the home through an exterior drainage line. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier removes moisture and other toxins in the air and creates a dry and comfortable climate. This is a great product for those planning on living in the basement.

With all of the systems in place, this homeowner can confidently execute the plans made for the basement knowing that it will be safe and dry.

Our Design Specialist, Victor Tapia, suggested installing our SaniDry Dehumidifier to eliminate these issues. This system not only provides a dry environment, but also drains automatically, as well as removes mold spores and other irritants and allergens.

Egress Window Well Installation, Amesbury, MA

This early 1900's home in Amesbury, MA had three egress windows along one side of the house. During heavy rains, the shallow, old window wells would collect the water, eventually leading to leaking through the windows down into the basement. The owners reached out to our Erickson team to replace the window wells with an upgraded system, as well as install covers to help prevent rain from directly falling into the well space.

Our production specialists installed all three window well replacements and covers in a single day, and patched the owners asphalt driveway surrounding the wells. They took care to cleanly cutaway the existing asphalt material so that later their patching around the well would be clean and easy. Not only will the upgraded egress window system help keep water from leaking into the basement, but they look great from the outside of the home as well.
