Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Acton, Massachusetts is in the midst of multiple home improvement projects. Replacing her sump pump to maintain a dry basement is a priority. Her basement floods when it rains and has experienced up to 8 inches of water at a time. This homeowner wants to prevent water buildup and eliminate the exposure of mold, which is why she reached out to our team for a permanent solution.

Our Design Specialist recommended installing WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system, along the edges of the basement. This would then filter to our SuperSump, an economical yet very effective pump system that can pump 2,220 gallons of water an hour safely out of the home. After talking to our specialist, this homeowner opted to get the SuperSump installed. Our installation crew dismantled the old sump pump and put the SuperSump in place. Additionally, IceGuard was added to the outside drainage line. This product is designed to keep water flowing freely despite cold temperatures and prevent freezing pipes.

With this system in place, the homeowner's basement will be kept safe. Our team was happy to offer a sump pump system that meets her basement's needs.

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.
