Over the years, this home in Concord, MA had water occasionally leak in to the basement on very wet days. The summer of 2023 was very wet the entire season, and so the homeowners found they were always cleaning up water and having to deal with the mess more than they wanted. They also couldn't use the entire basement space, as anything they put down there would get damaged. They reached out to contractors for a solution to prevent the rainwater from entering their basement, and after free consultation, chose our Erickson Foundation Solutions team.
Our team designed and proposed a full perimeter waterproofing system, which guaranteed all the water would be captured on all walls and effectively removed through our TripleSafe sump pump system, complete with a battery back-up. There were some obstacles in the basement, such as the water heater, and in places like this our installation specialists installed trench drain to capture any water, rather than the perimeter WaterGuard up against the walls.
With the system installed and backed up with an emergency battery in case of power outages, this home is in good shape and will stay dry all the time going forward. The owners now have peace of mind and can once again use their basement space for whatever they need.
