Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Somerville, Massachusetts had water coming in through her basement entrance. Heavy rains would cause water to spread throughout the basement floor, which created a very annoying cleanup process. While also wanting to use the basement for storage, this homeowner reached out to us to make sure her basement would stay dry.

One of our Design Specialists came out to inspect the home and recommend a permanent waterproofing solution. This waterproofing solution we recommended is composed of our UltraSump sump pump and TrenchDrain surface drainage system. This waterproofing system works by collecting water through our TrenchDrain system, and then filtering it to the sump pump. The sump pump then pumps the water out of the home. Our installation crew chipped out concrete to make space for the drainage system and pump. Once the space for drainage and basin were made, we laid the two systems into place. The TrenchDrain system was connected to the sump pump, and then cemented into place. An exterior discharge line was then connected to the sump pump. On that discharge line, IceGuard was installed. This is a mechanism that allows water to still flow freely despite freezing temperatures. This guarantees the pipes will not freeze, further ensuring that the basement will remain dry.

With everything completed, a waterproofed basement has been created. The homeowner can now have peace of mind that her basement will permanently stay dry.

Before our team arrived in Somerville, MA, the homeowner faced persistent worries about foundation erosion due to their home's fieldstone foundation. As you can see in the ‘before’ photo, the basement wasn't ready to defend against water intrusion. But take a look at the ‘after’ - crisp, clean, and secure. With the expert installation of our WaterGuard system and the reliability of our TripleSafe Sump Pump backed by IceGuard and SaniDry Sedona, this home is now set for a drier, healthier future. A textbook transformation on providing peace of mind and a safeguarded home environment.

A homeowner in Candia, New Hampshire, had water entering their basement from two different corners. They called EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist recommended installing Crack Injection to both of the corners to prevent any water from entering from those corners again. 

This homeowner in Methuen, Massachusetts had an issue where water was collecting in the basement. The water was ruining the finished section of the basement. The basement had a sump pump but the sump had randomly stopped working. The homeowners are looking for a permanent repair option. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Crew Lead Nick Carelli and his team arrived at the home and installed the Super Sump, Water Guard, and Ice Guard into the basement. The crew had to take down some of the finished walls to install the Super Sump and Water Guard. 

A homeowner in Methuen, Massachusetts, had their basement flooded and have some personal items ruined by the water. The homeowner wanted to prevent this from happening again so they reached out to EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist recommended installing a perimeter drainage system in the basement to collect any water that enters the basement and pump it out. 

Our installation team installed a TripleSafe, 2 IceGuards, and 130' of WaterGuard into the basement to collect any water in the basement and pump it out.
