Photo Album: Water Entering Finished Basement, Manchester, NH

A homeowner in Manchester, New Hampshire, had vertical cracks in their foundation that were allowing water into their finished basement. The homeowner was tired of vacuuming up water on their floors. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our design specialist recommended installing a new TripleSafe, WaterGuard, and IceGuard into the basement to collect any water that entered.  Our production team began by chipping out a small section of concrete along the foundation wall. The team installed the WaterGuard into the trench and dug a hole for the TripleSafe. Once the WaterGuard and TripleSafe were installed they poured concrete over the perimeter drain and around the basin of the sump pump. The team then plumbed the drainage line of the sump pump to the exterior of the home. On the exterior of the home, the team installed an IceGuard to prevent water from backing up the drainage line. After the IceGuard was installed the team made sure to the drainage line extended 10' away from the home to make sure water can't re-enter the basement.
