The homeowner pulled away the drywall to reveal a crack in the foundation wall and some water seepage marks. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection.

A homeowner in Moultonborough, New Hampshire went on vacation this past spring and came back home to a flooded basement. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection of the basement to find where the water was entering the basement. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowner and fully inspected the basement to propose a permanent solution to prevent water from collecting in the basement. We recommended installing a full-perimeter drainage system with a sump pump and dehumidifier.
A homeowner in Moultonborough, New Hampshire had a deteriorating fieldstone foundation that would leak, leaving the walls more susceptible to mold growth. Concerned with the structural integrity of the foundation, they contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions for assistance.
Our System Design Specialist, Jason Vachon, had advised the installation of our PolyWall to protect the fieldstone foundation from further degradation and to channel any leaking water into the existing perimeter drainage system. The PolyWall consists of polyurethane foam, which solidifies upon application, thereby enhancing the stability of the foundation wall. The installation team meticulously applied the durable polyurethane foam, skillfully navigating around egress windows, utilities, and the bulkhead door.
With the PolyWall now installed, the foundation's integrity is preserved, and the basement remains dry.
