Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Mark H. of Amherst, New Hampshire was experiencing water leaking into their basement for the past year. Mark is finishing the basement and doesn't want any more water leaking into the basement and threat ruining the basement when it's finished. Mark called Erickson Foundation Solutions to see if someone could come out and solve this reoccurring issue. 

Design Specialist Paul Magowan came to the home and inspected the area where water had been entering the basement. After Paul inspected the basement and the foundation wall he found where the water had been entering the basement. He proposed that EFS install Sentry Seal and some crushed stone to first stop water from coming through the foundation but to also help guide water away from the foundation. 

Crew Lead Nick Carrelli and his team came to the home and installed the Sentry Seal to the foundation and filled in 2' of crushed stone along the foundation wall. 

A homeowner in Amherst, New Hampshire, had water entering the basement from a cold joint. The water entered the basement and overwhelmed the existing sump pump until it failed. Then the water continued to rise, causing damage to the finished basement. The homeowners call EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist recommended installing a perimeter drainage system and a sump pump to prevent the basement from getting damaged again. 

Our production team installed 36' of WaterGuard to the base of the foundation wall and an Ultra Sump. 

A homeowner in Amherst, New Hampshire had found cracks from inside their basement. The cracks were on the foundation wall and were allowing water to come into the basement. The homeowners called EFS for a free inspection of their basement and our Design Specialist recommended installing 2 FlexiSpans and an Injection Crack Sealant into the basement to prevent water from entering their basement anymore. 

A new homeowner in Littleton, Massachusetts, had noticed that there is water coming through a crack in the basement floor. The crew installed 22 of WaterGuard into the basement that tied in with an existing sump pump. 

With a newly finished basement, a homeowner in Littleton, Massachusetts wanted to install an egress window to let in more light and enhance the living space. Looking for a company that values expertise, cleanliness, and offers warrantied products, she reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our team noted that along with building codes requiring finished basement living areas to have an emergency egress, they must also have a large window well with a step in it outside the egress window. The installation crew installed our Rockwell egress window and window well. The window well features built in steps for an easy exit in case of emergency, as well as a sleek and durable cover to prevent debris from entering the well. 

Now that the job is complete, this homeowner has a naturally bright basement while also offering a safe exit space.
