Photo Album: Basement Flood During Heavy Rains in Lynn, MA

A homeowner in Lynn, Massachusetts experienced leaks in the basement whenever there were heavy rains. Water entered and pooled in one corner of the basement. Concerned that the wet fieldstone foundation would hurt property value, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions to have the basement waterproofed. Our Design Specialist, Kenneth Calabrese, recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage, CleanSpace wall encapsulation, SuperSump sump pump, and a Lally column replacement. The waterproofing system captures water and moisture from outside soil, delivers it to the sump pump, and then pumps it out of the home through a discharge line. The Lally column replacement stabilizes the floor above the foundation, offering more support to the home.
