Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Georgetown, Massachusetts planned on making a playroom for their children in the basement. After getting the permitting to build, they learned that an egress window needed to be installed for the basement to be up to code. Looking for a company that could provide quality work at a reasonable price, they reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our Design Specialist, John Prince, recommended installing an egress window with a RockWell window well and cover. The egress window, paired with the well and cover, is designed to allow more natural light into the living space, while also providing a safe exit in the event of an emergency. The RockWell well system has built in steps and a strong, durable lid that prevents children, pets, and everything else from falling in.

With these systems installed, the homeowners can build their playroom knowing it will be a bright and safe space!

A homeowner in Strafford, New Hampshire experienced leaks in his finished basement. This created an annoying cleanup process, as well as damages to the finished wall. His main concern was being away from home for long periods of time. As someone who frequently travels, he wanted peace of mind that his basement wouldn't flood while he is away.

Our Design Specialist, Jason Vachon, recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage and upgrading the liner to the already existing sump pump. WaterGuard collects water from the high-water table surrounding the home and delivers it to the sump pump. It is then pumped out of the home through an exterior discharge line. The basin that the sump pump used to sit in left the pump exposed, which can be problematic. The TripleSafe liner covers the pump, which prevents debris from clogging the system and minimizes humidity. Once WaterGuard is connected to the sump basin, they are cemented in place to ensure proper flow and create a smooth finish.

With the basement waterproofed, this homeowner finally has the peace of mind that he's been searching for.

This homeowner in East Kingston, NH had been experiencing a wet basement since the day he moved into the house. The high amount of moisture led to mold forming throughout the basement and also the first floor. After 22 years of experiencing this uncomfortable humidity, the homeowner decided to reach out to our Erickson Foundation Solutions team to make a change.

Our Design Specialist, Victor Tapia, suggested installing our SaniDry Dehumidifier to eliminate these issues. This system not only provides a dry environment, but also drains automatically, as well as removes mold spores and other irritants and allergens.

Now that the SaniDry Dehumidifier is installed, this homeowner can finally enjoy his basement and take comfort in knowing that mold will no longer be an issue.

This early 1900's home in Amesbury, MA had three egress windows along one side of the house. During heavy rains, the shallow, old window wells would collect the water, eventually leading to leaking through the windows down into the basement. The owners reached out to our Erickson team to replace the window wells with an upgraded system, as well as install covers to help prevent rain from directly falling into the well space.

Our production specialists installed all three window well replacements and covers in a single day, and patched the owners asphalt driveway surrounding the wells. They took care to cleanly cutaway the existing asphalt material so that later their patching around the well would be clean and easy. Not only will the upgraded egress window system help keep water from leaking into the basement, but they look great from the outside of the home as well. 

A homeowner in Ipswich, Massachusetts, has lived in the home for almost 10 years. Recently they found that water was entering the basement from the front foundation wall. They called EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowner and recommended installing a full perimeter drainage system. This system will include WaterGuard, a TripleSafe sump pump, CleanSpace Wall System, IceGuard, and an Exterior Drainage Line.
