Adding Perimeter Drainage to a Sump Pump System in Nashua, NH

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire, had repeatedly faced flooding in her finished basement, resulting in water damage. The flooding of the children's bedrooms was particularly alarming due to safety concerns. Seeking a lasting resolution instead of spending on temporary repairs and replacements, the homeowner contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our Design Specialist, Josh Phillips, conducted a complimentary home inspection. He observed that the existing sump pump system failed to capture all the water seeping through the basement's perimeter. Josh suggested adding WaterGuard perimeter drainage and TrenchDrain surface drainage to the homeowner's current sump pump setup. This would ensure that water along the basement's edge is collected and directed to the sump basin. Despite our advice to install our TripleSafe sump pump to manage the substantial water influx, the homeowner was satisfied with their existing pump. Our installation crew installed WaterGuard and TrenchDrain along the entire perimeter of the basement, giving the finished space full protection.

Upon completion of the installation process, the basement was fully waterproofed. The homeowner was delighted, enjoying the assurance that their children had a secure area and that the value of their property was enhanced.
