The homeowner in Newmarket, NH, faced a significant problem with water entering their basement through a cold joint, accompanied by an inadequately cased sump pump setup, as seen in the before photo. We addressed these issues using our WaterGuard® basement perimeter drainage, SuperSump® system, and IceGuard® discharge solution. The after image showcases the transformation to a dry, secure basement environment. Our installation ensures effective water management, with WaterGuard® capturing seepage before it hits the floor, and SuperSump® efficiently channeling water away—all without freezing risks, guaranteeing permanent peace of mind.

This homeowner in Amesbury, Massachusetts, has lived in their late 1800s home for the past 6 years. When they moved into the home they have seen water seeping into the basement. Now 6 years later they have "had enough" of the water coming into the basement. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist Michael LaMalfa inspected the home and recommended installing a TripleSafe, WaterGuard, and CleanSpace to stop water from entering the basement. 

A homeowner in Amesbury, Massachusetts had been experiencing flooding in the front right corner of his basement. The seepage was coming through near his utilities. This, along with the annoying cleanup process drove this homeowner to look for a permanent solution. Our Erickson Foundation Solutions team was happy to provide options to keep this basement dry and give this homeowner the results that he wanted.

Once an appointment was scheduled through our Customer Care team, one of our Design Specialists completed a thorough home inspection. We recommended installing our Ultra Sump along with an interior and exterior drainage line. The sump pump was installed by creating a basin in the basement concrete. Crushed stone was placed in the basin along with the sump pump, and then cemented into place. The interior drainage line was connected to the sump pump so water could safely be removed from the home. Once the plumbing reached outside, IceGuard, a system that prevents pipes from freezing and getting backed up, was installed to the exterior drainage line. With the exterior drainage line in place, it could then be buried.

With all systems in place, water will be safely redirected away from the house and leave the utilities dry and unharmed.

Water intrusion through an old basement window in this Amesbury, MA, home caused wood rot and damaged stored items. Erickson Foundation Solutions stepped in to provide a reliable solution. We replaced the problematic window and installed a SunHouse Window Well to prevent future leakage. A SunHouse Window Well Cover was also fitted to enhance protection. Notice in the after photo how these upgrades create a secure, dry environment. With our proven basement waterproofing techniques, we deliver permanent solutions that protect and preserve the integrity of your home.
