Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: 1900s Home Has Water Entering Basement, Bedford, NH

A home in Bedford, New Hampshire, was built in the early 1900s. The home was a chicken farm that was purchased by the current owners 40 years ago. 15 years ago an addition was installed onto the home. This year the homeowners noticed water coming into their basement and would like to find a solution to prevent this from happening again. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist Josh Phillips met with the homeowners and talked about their concerns. They wanted to find a solution to stop water from entering their basement. Josh inspected the basement and recommended installing a perimeter drainage system into the home to prevent water from seeping into the basement and collecting on the floor.  Our Installation Team led by Gunther and Paul began by chipping out 30 feet of concrete inside the basement. After chipping the concrete, we installed 30 feet of WaterGuard and a TripleSafe into the basement. After both were installed the team then plumbed the sump pump to the exterior of the home where we installed our IceGuard and Exterior Discharge Line to prevent water from backing up into the basement and carrying water away from the foundation of the home. Next, the team mixed up concrete and poured it over the WaterGuard and around the TripleSafe. Lastly, after the concrete was cured the team then installed our SaniDry Sedona. The Sedona will control the humidity inside the basement and prevent the risk of mold growing inside the home.
