This homeowner in Allenstown, New Hampshire, purchased their home 3 years ago. A few times a year the homeowners have to deal will water coming into the basement. After owning the home for 3 years, they decided to call EFS to inspect their basement for a waterproofing solution. Our Design Specialist Victor Tapia met with the homeowner and inspected the basement. During his inspection, Victor recommended installing a full perimeter drainage system completer with WaterGuard, a TripleSafe, IceGuard, and Exterior Drainage to prevent water from collecting in the basement.
Our Installation Team led by Gunther and Paul began by chipping out the concrete around the perimeter of the basement so we could install our perimeter drainage and sump pump. Once the team chipped out a 6-inch wide trench around the perimeter and a basin for our TripleSafe sump pump, we began installing the drainage and the sump pump. After the drainage and the sump pump were installed into the basin the team then plumbed the TripleSafe to the exterior of the home where we installed 2 IceGuards and an 8-foot Exterior Discharge Line to carry water away from the foundation. After the drainage was installed the team then buried the drainage line and then returned back inside the basement. Lastly, the team mixed up concrete and poured it over the WaterGuard and around the basin of the sump pump. Once the concrete was cured the system was now locked into place and the homeowner now doesn't have to worry about water entering their home anymore.
