A homeowner in Hudson, Massachusetts had water seeping through their basement slab. Their current sump pump system was not removing water from the home, leaving water under the finished floorboards. With concern that the leaking would get worse, she reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions in order to protect her investment.
After discussion with the homeowner, our Design Specialist, Mark Proctor, recommended installing two TripleSafe sump pump systems. One system was installed to replace the broken sump pump, and another was installed in a different location to ensure water is captured throughout the basement. This sump pump is guaranteed to pump water out of the home at all times due to our three-pump system. The first pump removes normal water levels throughout the home. A second pump is activated during events such as heavy rains or snow melting, making sure that the sump basin never overflows. A third battery-powered backup pump functions in emergency situations such as a power outage.
Once installed, these systems were cemented in place for a clean finish. The homeowner now has peace of mind that her finished basement will remain dry!

This homeowner in Milford, NH was concerned with a crack they discovered in their basement foundation wall beneath a cast iron drainage pipe. The crack had been there for several years, however over the past year had started leaking small amounts of water. Not wanting the problem to get worse, they reached out to our Erickson team for a solution.
Our design specialist, Anthony, was able to determine there was no movement or deflection in the concrete wall itself. The amount of water coming in through the crack also did not warrant a perimeter waterproofing system. The best solution was for this type of crack was Flexispan crack seal. The homeowner was pleased with the proposal and explanation from Anthony, and hired our Erickson team for the repairs. Our service technician, Branden Edwards, completed the Flexispan installation in half a day, and also recommended a SaniDry dehumidifier for the basement since the humidity rating was above 70%.
After a clear design and installation process, and the crack being properly sealed, the homeowner was very pleased with the results.
