Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A longtime resident of Boxford, Massachusetts has been dealing with basement water seepage for 20 years now. Seeking a solution, they called EFS for a free inspection. After meeting with our Design Specialist, it was recommended to install a perimeter drainage system. The team successfully installed WaterGuard to collect water from walls and floors, TrenchDrain for water collection in other areas, FloodRing to safeguard the water heater, and SuperSump to pump out all the water from the drainage system.

Before diving into the depths of water trouble, notice in the before photo how heavy rains in Boxford, MA, led to unwelcome puddles forming in this basement—turning it into a space of concern rather than comfort. But, dive into the after photo and you’ll see our effective trap: WaterGuard, SuperSump, and IceGuard installed flawlessly to steer clear water away with grace. Now, this basement is dry, safeguarded, and a testament to our mission to deliver not just solutions but peace of mind.

A homeowner in Fremont, New Hampshire, had lived in their 1920s home for over a decade and had seen water leaking through their old bulkhead door. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their bulkhead to find a solution to prevent water from seeping into the basement. 

Our Design Specialist met with the homeowners and inspected the bulkhead door and determined that the wooden and concrete base had given way to allow water to flow into the basement. Our specialist recommended replacing the bulkhead with a new one. Before leaving the home our specialist measured the bulkhead so our installation team could install the correct size door. 

Our installation team arrived at the home and replaced the old bulkhead door with our new one. 

A homeowner in Gilford, New Hampshire had water entering his foundation near his sewage discharge line and existing sump pump. This occurred every time it rained and when snow melted. Mold had formed as a result. Looking to eliminate wet basement problems, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our Design Specialist, Jason Vachon, recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage to the existing sump pump and CleanSpace wall encapsulation. This system is designed to capture all the water that led to seepage in the foundation walls, and filter it directly to the existing sump pump.

These systems waterproof the basement and eliminate moisture. The homeowner now has peace of mind that his basement will stay dry.

A homeowner in Lynn, Massachusetts, had lived in their home for the past 30 years. Their 1928 home has had a small leak in the basement since they purchased it in 1990. The homeowner had recently retired and now had the time to address some issues in their home. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection, and our design specialist recommended installing a perimeter drainage system in the basement to prevent water from collecting on the floor.
