A homeowner of a 1950s home in Concord, Massachusetts, recently purchased the home in June of 2022. The previous homeowner told them that water leaked into the basement near the bulkhead. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our design specialist recommended installing a perimeter drainage system in the basement to collect water entering the basement and send it to a sump pump which will push the water through the drainage line to the exterior of the home. 

Our team installed WaterGuard, Trench Drain, UltraSump, IceGuard, and a SaniDry into the home.

This homeowner is a member of our annual maintenance program, the Erickson Care Club. During their annual check-up, our service technician completely disassembled the sump pump system in order to clean the pump, the basin, and other various components. Through regular maintenance and cleaning, the lifespan of this waterproofing system is extended for several years, ensuring the basement in this Concord home will continue to stay dry. This photo series highlights the difference after thoroughly cleaning the float which lies in the basin, and shows the significance of needing to remove debris from the system which collects over time .

A homeowner in Concord, Massachusetts, had lived in their home since 2012. After moving into the home they noticed that there was water seeping into their basement. Over the next 10+ years, they noticed the seeping get worse. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their home. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowners inspected their home and recommended a solution to them to prevent further seepage.

Our installation team arrived at the home and began by chipping out concrete around the perimeter of the basement so we could install our perimeter drainage and sump pump into the basement to collect any water. Then we plumbed the sump pump to the exterior of the home. On the outside of the home we installed our IceGuard and discharge line to carry water away from the foundation.

This all changed a couple of years ago, and now rainstorms will cause water to flood their basements.

The homeowners called EFS and our Design Specialist met with the homeowners and inspected the basement. After the inspection, we recommended installing a sump pump, interior drainage, and an exterior drainage system.
