Before & After Photos

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!
