Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Water Entering Basement, Auburndale, MA

A homeowner in Auburndale, Massachusetts, has lived in their home for the past 14 years. Since living in the home for 14 years the homeowner has seen water enter the basement only 5-10 times. The homeowners plan to sell the home in the future and don't want to pass on the leaky basement to the next owner. To solve this problem the current owner called EFS for a free basement inspection. Our Design Specialist Josh Bartholomew met with the homeowner and talked to the homeowners about their issue. Josh then inspected the basement to find a solution to stop the water from entering the basement. After his inspection, Josh recommended installing 11' of WaterGuard, a TripleSafe, IceGuard, 12' of CleanSpace, and a SaniDry Sedona into the basement to prevent water from entering the home.  Our installation team led by Gunther Billhardt, began by chipping out 11' of concrete on the front foundation wall. The team chipped and removed the concrete from the basement so we could install our perimeter drainage and sump pump into the basement. After the drainage and sump were installed into the trench the team then began to install the CleanSpace on the wall above the perimeter drainage and sump pump. The team installed the CleanSpace Encapsulation and tied it to the WaterGuard. This will allow any water that penetrates through the wall to be guided into the drainage system. After the wall encapsulation and the perimeter drainage were integrated we then poured concrete around the sump pump and over the perimeter drain to lock everything into place. After the concrete cured the team installed the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier next to the sump pump to lower the humidity inside the basement. Lastly, the team plumbed the TripleSafe to the exterior of the home and installed IceGuard. Attached to the IceGuard was an exterior drainage line that carried water away from the foundation.  The homeowners were very pleased with the results of the project.
