Additional Waterproofing in Gilford, NH
A homeowner in Gilford, New Hampshire had water entering his foundation near his sewage discharge line and existing sump pump. This occurred every time it rained and when snow melted. Mold had formed as a result. Looking to eliminate wet basement problems, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.
Our Design Specialist, Jason Vachon, recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage to the existing sump pump and CleanSpace wall encapsulation. This system is designed to capture all the water that led to seepage in the foundation walls, and filter it directly to the existing sump pump.
These systems waterproof the basement and eliminate moisture. The homeowner now has peace of mind that his basement will stay dry.
