Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Pepperell, Massachusetts noticed a few months ago that water would infiltrate the basement. This was odd for them, because they already had a sump pump installed. As time went on, water would enter the foundation from all angles during heavy remains and snow melt off. This caused concern because the basement was used for storage space. With the problem worsening, they wanted a company that they could trust to get the job done right.

After reaching out to our team, a Design Specialist went out to the home to conduct a free home inspection. We recommended replacing the sump pump with our TripleSafe sump pump system, as well as perimeter drainage. This system captures water along the entire border of the foundation and filters it to the pump, where it is then expelled out of the home through an exterior discharge line. Our three-pump system ensures that water will always be properly pumped out of the home. One pump handles normal water levels at 1/3 horsepower. The second pump is activated when water levels rise, such as heavy rains or snow melting as mentioned earlier. Finally, a battery-powered back up pump operates during loss of power.

With this waterproofing system in place, these homeowners are guaranteed to have a dry basement. They now have peace of mind that the belongings in their storage space are safe.

In the before photo, the homeowner in Pepperell, MA faced significant water intrusion in their finished basement due to cold joint issues. As you can see, this can compromise the space's usability. Our team at Erickson Foundation Solutions tackled this challenge by installing the WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system, ensuring easy evacuation of incoming water. Paired with our reliable TripleSafe Sump Pump and IceGuard discharge line systems, we effectively ensured a dry, protected basement. Notice in the after photo – the space is now equipped for year-round use.

Before, the homeowners in Pepperell, MA faced persistent water intrusion through their fieldstone foundation walls, leading to puddles on the dirt basement floor. In addressing this issue, we installed our specialized waterproofing system. As part of our solution, we used WaterGuard, TripleSafe Sump Pump, and a SaniDry Sedona. After securing effective drainage with WaterGuard, we poured a concrete floor, ensuring permanent and reliable protection. The after photo shows a clean and dry basement, ready for use. This transformation stands as a testament to our dedication to permanent solutions and exceptional service in basement waterproofing.
