Before & After

Preparing for a Finished Basement in Portsmouth, NH

A homeowner in Portsmouth, New Hampshire plans on finishing the basement in the near future and wisely wanted to waterproof it first. Already experiencing water seepage in the basement during heavy rains, it was essential to keep the basement dry all the time. The existing sump pump that had previously been installed in the basement was unable to capture all the water. Looking to protect his future investment, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our System Design Specialist, Bryan Barnard, recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage, TrenchDrain surface drainage, and a SuperSump sump pump. WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement to capture water and deliver it to the sump basin. TrenchDrain was installed to reroute water around the oil tank. This system connects to WaterGuard, creating one flow of water to the sump basin. Once water enters the sump basin, the SuperSump pumps the water out of the home. Our SuperSump includes a primary pump, as well as a battery-powered backup pump to ensure that water stills gets pumped out of the home in the event of a power outage.

With a durable sump pump and French drain style drainage system, this homeowner can confidently finish the basement knowing that it will stay dry all the time!
