Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Pelham, NH, who recently settled into her new residence, observed a crack stemming from her egress window. This defect led to water leakage in the basement during rains, resulting in puddles on the floor. Eager to address the water intrusion and prevent the crack from expanding, she contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions for assistance.

Our Design Specialist, Debra Rayborn, suggested the use of FlexiSpan to address the crack and halt additional basement leaks. The installation team applied a pliable sealant across the entire length of the crack, followed by placing a strip of porous, flexible foam over it. To complete the process, they secured an impermeable membrane on the wall flanking both sides of the foam strip. This robust solution ensures that any subsequent water seepage through the crack will be discreetly directed down the wall and into the basement's perimeter drainage system. Our team removed a small section of the basement's concrete floor to install WaterGuard, which captures any water that may seep through. Once installed, the WaterGuard system was securely cemented into position.

Upon project completion, the crew cleaned the basement and conducted a final walkthrough with the homeowner, demonstrating the installation and addressing any remaining questions. The homeowner can now rest assured that her basement will remain dry and her foundation is secure.

A homeowner in Lowell, Massachusetts noticed water entering his basement since moving into his home in 2019. As of recently, the problem had gotten much worse. The basement completely flooded, causing damage to stored belongings and creating a nightmare of a cleanup. With fear of the basement flooding again, the homeowner reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions in search of a permanent solution.

Our Design Specialist, George Gouthier, recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage, TripleSafe sump pump system, and CleanSpace vapor barrier. WaterGuard intercepts water along the border of the foundation before being exposed to the basement floor and walls. The water is filtered to the TripleSafe sump pump system, where it is then discarded safely out of the home through an exterior discharge line. The CleanSpace vapor barrier was added to areas that were more exposed to water leaking through the basement walls. This system encapsulates the wall, eliminating moisture and directing it to the WaterGuard system. Other benefits of this system include added insulation, as well as reduction of humidity and mold.

After our team installed these systems, foreman Anthony LoCascio performed a final walkthrough with the homeowner to reiterate the work that was done and answer any additional questions. The homeowner was thrilled to have peace of mind that his belongings are now protected in his dry basement!
