In Chelmsford, MA, this homeowner wanted to ensure their basement was waterproof before renting it out. The before photo captures the old, unreliable sump pump in dire need of an upgrade. Fast forward to our solution: the installation of our cutting-edge WaterGuard and TripleSafe Sump Pump systems, as seen in the after photo.

A homeowner in Chelmsford, Massachusetts already had one of our sump pumps installed. We had previously suggested installing perimeter drainage in order to direct the high amount of water surrounding her foundation to the sump pump. Due to certain circumstances, the homeowner opted to just have the sump pump put in at the time. Although the sump pump system is working, she now chose to install the perimeter drainage to fully optimize her waterproofing system.

We recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage and CleanSpace vapor barrier to fully protect the basement. CleanSpace was applied to the walls to prevent moisture and humidity. This encapsulation system filters any moisture to the WaterGuard system. Even though the sump pump was already installed, WaterGuard is still able to be connected to it. This system sits within crushed stone and is cemented in place once installed to ensure proper flow.

After installation, our crew tested the system by pouring water into it. After seeing the system work properly, the crew met with the homeowner to perform a final walkthrough. The customer was ecstatic!

This homeowner in Bow, New Hampshire, had a semi-finished basement and wanted to add a bedroom into the basement but needed to add a window to be up to code for the town. The homeowners called EFS so they could install a window into the basement and our Design Specialist Victor recommended a window and out RockWell so if needed someone could exit the basement in case of an emergency.
