Photo Album: Foundation Wall Crack Leaking, Epsom, NH

A homeowner in Epsom, New Hampshire, had water coming through their cracked foundation wall. With the water coming through the crack the wall was leaning inward. The homeowner wanted to stop water from entering the home and straighten the foundation wall. Our design specialist recommended installing Geolocks, Cleanspace, and a perimeter drainage system in the basement.  Our production first started by installing the Geolocks on the leaning foundation wall. The team dug a trench parallel with the wall and installed our Geolock plates on the foundation wall and the inner wall of the trench. The team tightened the plates until the wall was straight. After the wall was straightened they started installing the CleanSpace. The CleanSpace acted as a moisture barrier. The team started at the top of the wall and worked their way down. When the team reached the Geolocks the team made sure to not cover the part that can be used to tighten or loosen them. Before they reached the bottom of the wall, the team chipped the concrete at the base of the wall so they could install the WaterGuard. The team finished installing the WaterGuard at the base of the wall and tied it in with the CleanSpace System. The team connected the WaterGuard to a sump pump in the corner of the basement. The sump pump is then plumbed outside to an IceGuard which was attached to an exterior drainage line.
