Before & After Photos

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!

This homeowner in Hopkinton, NH had been dealing with water in their basement for years. Water was constantly leaking in through their concrete, cinderblock foundation wall. 

Our team proposed and installed a complete waterproofing system to help them keep their basement permanently dry.  The WaterGuard and trench drain system will collect all water entering through the walls and direct it towards the TripleSafe sump installed at the low point of the basement. The sump system also includes a battery back-up for extra security against any power outages.

This homeowner in Hopkinton, New Hampshire, purchased their home about a year ago. When they purchased the home the seller told them the basement hadn't flooded. Within a year of owning the home, the basement had water in it twice. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowner and looked at the basement to solve their water issues. We recommended installing a full-perimeter drainage system. The system included WaterGuard, TripleSafe Sump Pump, IceGuard, Exterior Drainage, and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. 

This homeowner in Westford, Massachusetts, has seen water entering their basement. Their old sump pump isn't doing the job it used to, so the homeowners decided to call EFS to find a solution for stopping water from entering their basement. Our Design Specialist visited the home and recommended installing a new sump pump and perimeter drainage into the basement to prevent water from collecting in the basement. 

This homeowner had noticed water accumulating in their basement, but recently it started getting significantly worse. Every time there was heavy rain, the basement would flood. This problem led to an annoying cleanup process, as well as the basement becoming filled with moisture. Signs of mold even started to arise. In order to solve this problem, the homeowner reached out to our Erickson Foundation Solutions team.

After our Design Specialist completed the home inspection, they recommended installing our SuperSump, a sump pump that disposes of unwanted water safely. This water is captured around the perimeter of the basement before having the chance to enter and filtered to the sump pump. Once the water is expelled out of the home, our IceGuard system is attached to the plumbing in order to allow water to flow even if the pipes freeze. This further guarantees that the sump pump won't overflow and flood the basement.

With this waterproof system in place, the homeowner can now rely on his basement being a dry, welcoming space.
