Leaky Wall Crack
Prior to Erickson Foundation Solutions' visit, the homeowner had tackled mold growth in areas prone to leaks, like the wall crack shown here.
Sealing Foundation Cracks
FlexiSpan has been installed to seal the crack and waterproof it. In the event that the crack shifts or widens in the future, any water will be directed to the WaterGuard system, guaranteeing a dry basement floor.
Additional Basement Moisture Protection
The homeowner began to observe mold in the finished basement area. To combat mold growth, the homeowner opted for the installation of CleanSpace to encapsulate the sections more susceptible to moisture.
Bulkhead Door Surface Drainage
TrenchDrain was installed outside the bulkhead door to capture water entering from outside and channel it to the sump pump.
UltraSump Sump Pump
The UltraSump system gathers and ejects water from the home. It includes an extra battery-operated pump, guaranteeing that the basement remains safeguarded against water intrusion at all times.
Safely Removing Water From the Basement
A discharge line has been installed from the sump pump to a downward-sloping area in the backyard, ensuring water does not return and press against the foundation wall's exterior. IceGuard was attached to the discharge line to prevent freezing, thus protecting the basement from potential flooding. Additionally, a LawnScape outlet was placed at the end of the discharge line to avert surface flooding on the lawn. Finally, our team buried the discharge line with minimal disruption to the lawn's appearance.
