Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Water Consistently Entering the Basement, Dover, NH
A homeowner in Dover, New Hampshire, had lived in their early 1900s home for the past decade. Every year water entered their basement which is half fieldstone and half poured concrete. This year the homeowners decided it was time to call someone to find a solution to their problem. They decided its time to repair the problem so they call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist Isaac recommended installing 50ft of WaterGuard, a SuperSump, IceGuard, SaniDry, and a buried downspout.
Our production team began by chipping out the concrete along two of the walls in the basement. The team chipped out the concrete so they could install 50ft of WaterGuard. At the end of the WaterGuard, the team dug a basin to install our SuperSump to pump out the water that the WaterGuard collects. After the WaterGuard was laid against the wall and the SuperSump was installed into the basin, the team then poured concrete around the basin and over the WaterGuard to conceal the system. While the concrete was curing the team installed the SaniDry next to the WaterGuard. The team set the dehumidifier up so it will drain into the WaterGuard. The team then plumbed the SuperSump so it would drain the water away from the home. On the drainage line from the sump, the team used an IceGuard to prevent the drainage line from backing up into the basement. Continuing after the IceGuard, the team buried the drainage line away from the home.
