Before & After Photos

In North Andover, MA, a homeowner faced persistent basement leaks through cold joints despite having an exterior French drain and sump pump. As you can see in the before photo, water intrusion disrupted their peace of mind. We addressed this by installing the WaterGuard system, a reliable interior drainage solution to channel water away. The UltraSump System and IceGuard were added for extra protection and discharge reliability. Now, as shown in the after photo, the basement remains dry year-round.

A homeowner in Somerville, Massachusetts, had moved into the home about a year ago and was planning to finish the basement. The previous homeowners noted during the purchasing process that the basement had flooded in the past. The new homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist inspected the basement and recommended installing a full perimeter drainage system. The perimeter drainage system included WaterGuard, TrenchDrain, TripleSafe, and IceGuard. 

A homeowner in Somerville, Massachusetts, has lived in their home for about 4 years. Recently they noticed minor water seepage in their basement. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their basement. After inspecting the basement our design specialist recommended installing ThermalDry Flooring into the basement to replace their existing floor that was being damaged by the water seepage.

Our team removed the old basement floors and replaced them with our ThermalDry Floors which will allow water to travel through them and drain out beneath them. 

A family home in Somerville, Massachusetts, had water frequently entering their basement. The owners of the home reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist inspected the basement and recommended installing a perimeter drainage system into the basement to collect any water that threatened to enter. Our team installed 140' of WaterGuard, SuperSump, IceGuard, and EDL to protect the basement from water entering.

A homeowner in Somerville, Massachusetts had water coming in through her basement entrance. Heavy rains would cause water to spread throughout the basement floor, which created a very annoying cleanup process. While also wanting to use the basement for storage, this homeowner reached out to us to make sure her basement would stay dry.

One of our Design Specialists came out to inspect the home and recommend a permanent waterproofing solution. This waterproofing solution we recommended is composed of our UltraSump sump pump and TrenchDrain surface drainage system. This waterproofing system works by collecting water through our TrenchDrain system, and then filtering it to the sump pump. The sump pump then pumps the water out of the home. Our installation crew chipped out concrete to make space for the drainage system and pump. Once the space for drainage and basin were made, we laid the two systems into place. The TrenchDrain system was connected to the sump pump, and then cemented into place. An exterior discharge line was then connected to the sump pump. On that discharge line, IceGuard was installed. This is a mechanism that allows water to still flow freely despite freezing temperatures. This guarantees the pipes will not freeze, further ensuring that the basement will remain dry.

With everything completed, a waterproofed basement has been created. The homeowner can now have peace of mind that her basement will permanently stay dry.
