Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire has lived in their home for the past 35 years. About 10 years ago they noticed a crack in their foundation wall. After 5 years of seeing the crack, water started to enter the basement. The homeowner called EFS for a free inspection of the basement. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowner and then inspected the basement and recommended installing FlexiSpan over the crack to prevent water from entering the basement. 

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire, had lived in their home for about a year before they started to notice water coming into the basement during rain storms. The home has a finished basement and the homeowners would like to find a way to protect it. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their basement and our Design Specialist examined the space and found a solution to prevent water from entering the basement. We recommended installing a perimeter drainage system to collect any water and pump it out of the basement. Our installation team installed the system and was able to eliminate the water concerns in the basement. 

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire recently bought a new furnace and wanted to waterproof the basement to protect it. The homeowner also wanted to use the basement area for storage, and insisted on making sure that the belongings would be kept safe. Our team was happy to evaluate the situation and offer a permanent solution to the problem.

Our Design Specialist recommended installing a full waterproofing system, composed of our TripleSafe sump pump, WaterGuard perimeter drainage system, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The WaterGuard drainage system can be seen in the attached after photo. This system is installed at the perimeter of the foundation and safely collects water before entering the basement. The system then delivers the water to the sump pump. The sump pump then disposes the water out of the home through an exterior drainage line. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier is installed to keep moisture out of the basement and provide a comfortable and healthy climate.

With these systems working together, a fully waterproofed basement is created. The new furnace, along with all the other belongings in the basement, will be kept dry and protected.

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.

In Nashua, NH, a homeowner faced the challenge of a dark, damp basement lacking an essential emergency exit. Before, as shown in the photo, the space lacked natural light and an ample exit space. Our team transformed it by incorporating an egress window and a RockWell window well, immediately brightening and securing the area. Plus, we installed our WaterGuard, TripleSafe Sump Pump, and IceGuard systems to reliably dispel water, ensuring a dry and comfortable living space. Notice in the after photo the remarkable change - proof of our mission to deliver long-lasting solutions and a commendable customer experience.
