Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Finished Basement Ruined by Water, Salem, NH

A homeowner in Salem, New Hampshire had a finished basement that was ruined by water seeping in. The homeowners suspected that the pond at the front of the home was responsible for the water damage. They contacted EFS for a free inspection, and our Design Specialist, Liam FitzPatrick, met with them and inspected the basement to identify the cause of the problem. After the inspection, Liam recommended installing a perimeter drainage system to prevent water from seeping into the basement again.   Our installation team, led by Anthony LoCascio, began by chipping away the concrete along the perimeter. Then, they installed our WaterGuard, TrenchDrain, and TripleSafe Sump Pump to protect each wall of the basement with perimeter drainage. After the installation of the drainage and sump pump, the team plumbed the system to the exterior of the home, where they installed our IceGuard and a buried exterior drainage line. Once the exterior drainage was in place, the team mixed concrete and poured it over the WaterGuard and around the TripleSafe to secure the system.   While the concrete was curing, the team installed our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier beside the TripleSafe, so that the moisture from the dehumidifier would drain into the sump pump basin. With the system fully installed, the homeowner won't have to worry about water seeping into the basement again. They can now proceed with repairs to refinish the walls and floors.
