Before & After Photos

A homeowner had water coming into their basement periodically. One of their friends referred them to Erickson Foundation Solutions and our design specialist recommended installing WaterGuard and a TripleSafe in their basement. 

A homeowner in Salem, New Hampshire, has lived in this home since 1992. The home was built in 1945 and has a cinderblock foundation that constantly floods during rainstorms. This year the homeowner went on vacation a short drive away from Salem. During their vacation, a rainstorm flooded the basement, and they had to return early to remove the water. The homeowner sees this home as their forever home because they are close to their family and grandchildren so they plan to stay here and repair any current issues. The homeowners called EFS for a free inspection of their basement and we recommended installing a full perimeter drainage system into the basement to collect any water that entered the basement and pump it out. 

A homeowner in Salem, New Hampshire has encountered water intrusion in their garage, with up to three inches accumulating on the floor, jeopardizing stored items. In search of a lasting solution to keep the garage dry, they contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our System Design Specialist recommended the installation of WaterGuard perimeter drainage and a TripleSafe sump pump. WaterGuard has been installed around the garage's perimeter to collect water and channel it to the sump pump basin. The water, once collected in the sump basin, is expelled through an exterior discharge line. To prevent freezing and subsequent backups that could lead to flooding, IceGuard was added to the discharge line. This new waterproofing system takes the place of an older sump pump that failed to capture water effectively. The TripleSafe sump pump system features three pumps: a primary, a secondary, and a battery-operated backup pump, ensuring continuous operation and water removal, even during power outages.

The homeowner can now rest assured that their personal belongings are secure, and the concern over the tedious cleanup process is eliminated.

A homeowner in Northwood, New Hampshire, recently bought their home and found a couple of cracks in their basement that were allowing water into their basement. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist John recommended installing FlexiSpan to seal the cracks in the foundation. John also recommended using PowerBraces to add support to the wall. This will protect the wall from cracking due to hydrostatic pressure.
