Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Methuen, Massachusetts removed drywall in the finished basement to discover water leaking through the foundation wall. With an old sump pump already installed, the homeowners realized they needed a better waterproofing system to keep the basement dry all the time. Looking to protect the finished basement, they reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our Design Specialist, Tom Armano, recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage and our UltraSump sump pump. This system is designed to waterproof the basement by collecting water from outside wet soil before coming in contact with the interior basement, delivering it to the sump pump, and safely pumping it out of the home through an exterior discharge line. IceGuard is installed to the discharge plumbing system to prevent frozen pipes, which eliminates the possibility of pipes bursting or backing up, resulting in basement flooding.

With the basement now fully waterproofed, this homeowner has peace of mind that the finished basement is protected from water.

A home near a lake has a high water table around their home. Recently the water has been overwhelming the old sump pump. They decided to call Erickson Foundation Solutions to inspect the basement. EFS recommended installing Water Guard, Water Guard Port, Sani Dry, Freeze Guard, and Super Sump TripleSafe.

This homeowner in Hampstead, New Hampshire, had an influx of water enter their crawlspace. Their old sump pump failed and resulted in upward of 3' of water inside the crawlspace. They called EFS for an inspection of their home and we recommended installing a TripleSafe, SmartJacks, SmartPipe, and CleanSpace into the crawlspace to keep water and moisture out and stabilize a sagging support beam.
