Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Acton, Massachusetts, lives in a home built over 125 years ago. Since they purchased the home 25+ years ago they have seen water seep into the basement and puddle on the floor fairly consistently. They wanted to find a solution to prevent water from entering and collecting on the floor of the basement. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowner and recommended installing a perimeter drainage system in their basement. 

This homeowner in Acton, Massachusetts, has lived in their home for the past 7 years. Recently the owners had become concerned with the air quality in their home. They decided to reach out to EFS for a free inspection of their home because they were worried about cancer and their health. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowner to talk about their concerns and then inspected the home's basement to find a solution. After the inspection, we recommended installing an ERV system in the basement to replace old stale air with fresh air from outside. 

A homeowner in Acton, Massachusetts is in the midst of multiple home improvement projects. Replacing her sump pump to maintain a dry basement is a priority. Her basement floods when it rains and has experienced up to 8 inches of water at a time. This homeowner wants to prevent water buildup and eliminate the exposure of mold, which is why she reached out to our team for a permanent solution.

Our Design Specialist recommended installing WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system, along the edges of the basement. This would then filter to our SuperSump, an economical yet very effective pump system that can pump 2,220 gallons of water an hour safely out of the home. After talking to our specialist, this homeowner opted to get the SuperSump installed. Our installation crew dismantled the old sump pump and put the SuperSump in place. Additionally, IceGuard was added to the outside drainage line. This product is designed to keep water flowing freely despite cold temperatures and prevent freezing pipes.

With this system in place, the homeowner's basement will be kept safe. Our team was happy to offer a sump pump system that meets her basement's needs.

A homeowner in Acton, Massachusetts has lived in his home for the past 30 years and always had water enter his garage. With the situation getting progressively worse over time, water now enters the basement as well. Basement floods have caused damage to the bottom steps, forcing him to remove them. With the stress of foundation leaks becoming too much to bear, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions to waterproof the basement.

Our Design Specialist, Mark Proctor, recommended installing perimeter drainage and our TripleSafe sump pump system. This captures water along the foundation walls before being exposed to the basement, and is then delivered to the sump basin, where our three-pump system pumps the unwanted water out of the home through an exterior discharge line.

This before and after photo comparison highlights our crew's ability to bury the discharge system while leaving a minimal trace of the ground being dug up. The 25' of discharge line extended to the end of the backyard, providing a safe location for water to be disposed of. IceGuard was installed to this plumbing system to prohibit water from freezing in the pipes. This prevents the sump system getting backed up, eliminating the possibility of the sump basin overflowing and filling the basement with water.

With the systems installed, this homeowner now has peace of mind that his basement will always stay dry!

This homeowner in Hopkinton, NH had been dealing with water in their basement for years. Water was constantly leaking in through their concrete, cinderblock foundation wall. 

Our team proposed and installed a complete waterproofing system to help them keep their basement permanently dry.  The WaterGuard and trench drain system will collect all water entering through the walls and direct it towards the TripleSafe sump installed at the low point of the basement. The sump system also includes a battery back-up for extra security against any power outages.
