Before & After Photos

A homeowner in New London, New Hampshire had concerns with his damp and musty bedroom. He noticed this issue ever since he moved into the home three years ago. Unable to continue living in these circumstances, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions for a permanent fix. 

One of our Design Specialists, Josh Phillips, went to the house to conduct a free home inspection. While completing the inspection, Josh noticed that the existing encapsulation system in the crawl space was not keeping moisture out as it was intended. This was the source of why the homeowner's bedroom was damp and musty. Mold, wood rot, and other negative effects also resulted because of it. The wood rot has caused cracks in the wall and doors to not shut properly. Josh recommended installing our SuperSump sump pump, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The SuperSump sits in a basin in the crawl space and pumps out water that is surrounding the outside of the foundation. The CleanSpace vapor barrier properly encapsulates the crawl space to keep out moisture, which protects against mold, wood rot, and pests. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier further helps prevent against moisture, creating a dry space and delivering better air quality to the entire home.

The homeowner loved the final result. He will look to us when completing future home projects.

A homeowner from Concord, New Hampshire had an extremely wet basement. Even with a sump pump already installed, water still made its way through the foundation. The homeowner is sick of dealing with the seepage and doesn't want the next owner of the home to have the same experience. She reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions looking for a permanent solution for her leaky basement.

One of our Design Specialists, Anthony Brancato, went to the house to provide a free home inspection. After taking a thorough look at the basement, Anthony recommended installing our WaterGuard perimeter drainage system to the already existing sump pump. Although the sump pump works properly, it is unable to waterproof the basement on its own due to the amount of water in the soil surrounding the foundation. The WaterGuard perimeter drainage system actually allows the water to flow right into the system, and directs it right to the sump pump. By letting the water flow right into the perimeter drainage system, water doesn't build up on the outside of the foundation, which is what causes the leaks. 

With the system in place, a waterproofed basement has been created. The homeowner can now have peace of mind while she lives in the home and goes through the home selling process.

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire has lived in his home for over 40 years. Several years ago, he noticed that his basement would leak. In order to fix this, he had a sump pump installed. This pump isn't working as it was intended to, resulting in the basement flooding. Looking for a permanent solution keep his basement dry; he reached out to our Erickson team.

Our Design Specialist, John Prince, recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage, SuperSump sump pump, and FlexiSpan crack sealant. Our crew started installing this waterproofing system by chipping our concrete along the border of the basement floor to make space for the WaterGuard drainage. This system captures water at the perimeter of the basement before being exposed to the walls or floor. The water collected then flows to our SuperSump sump pump. A new basin was created for the sump pump to sit in since the previous basin was not in the ideal spot. A feed line was installed connecting the old basin to the new basin in order to allow the new sump system to pump out the unwanted water. Once these systems were installed, they were cemented in place. An exterior discharge line was then installed to the sump pump to direct water safely out of the home. IceGuard was installed to the discharge line to prevent the pipe from freezing, which prevents sump pumps from backing up and flooding. Lastly, FlexiSpan crack sealant was used to seal a large crack in the basement wall. This sealant stops water from making its way through the crack, and is able to adjust to settlement, making it a long-lasting solution.

With the job now complete, crew lead Ryan Champagne went over a final walkthrough with the homeowner. He was thrilled that he would never have to deal with the annoying cleanup process again!

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire had been experiencing leaks in her basement. One area that the homeowner was particularly concerned about was the water heater. Looking for a way to keep the basement permanently dry, she reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our Design Specialist, John Prince, conducted a free inspection of the home. After discussion with the homeowner, John recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage, TrenchDrain surface drainage, and TripleSafe sump pump system. This system captures water at the perimeter of the basement and delivers it to the sump pump, where it is then pumped out of the home through an exterior discharge line. When there are areas where WaterGuard is inaccessible, TrenchDrain is installed to continue the flow of water to the sump pump. The TrenchDrain system connects to the WaterGuard system, as can be seen in the after photo.

Once all these systems are installed, they are cemented in place. This homeowner now has peace of mind that her basement will stay dry!

A homeowner in Manchester, New Hampshire, had recently purchased their home in the last year. When they moved into their home there was a large rainstorm that allowed water to leak into the basement. They wanted to use their basement for storage and didn't want to worry about water entering the basement and ruining their belongings. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowners and took a detailed look at the basement to find where and why water was entering the basement. We found the water was seeping through the 60+-year-old foundation wall during heavy periods of rain. Our Installation Team installed WaterGuard, TripleSafe, CleanSpace, IceGuard, EDL, and SaniDry Sedona in the basement to prevent water from entering the basement and ruining their belongings.
