Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Water Entering Basement Through Bulkhead, Derry, NH

A homeowner in Derry, New Hampshire, had water entering their basement from their bulkhead. The homeowner had concerns about mold and tried to fix the problem themselves. Their solution did not hold up and they decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist Victor inspected the basement and recommended installing WaterGuard, CleanSpace, and an UltraSump with an IceGuard and discharge line into the basement to collect any water that enters.  Our installation team began by installing the sump pump. They chipped out the concrete and removed dirt from beneath the concrete until they could fit the sump basin in the hole. Next, the team plumbed the sump outside and installed the IceGuard and then the discharge line. Then the team started chipping out the concrete in the bulkhead so they could install the WaterGuard. Once chipped out the team then prepped the walls in the bulkhead to install the CleanSpace. The team will integrate the CleanSpace and WaterGuard so any water collected in the CleanSpace will be directed into the WaterGuard which will then be sent to the UltraSump. After the CleanSpace and WaterGuard were integrated, the team then mixed some concrete and poured it over the perimeter drainage and around the sump pump. Now if any water enters into the bulkhead it will be collected by the CleanSpace and WaterGuard which is sent to the UltraSump and discharged away from the home.
