Professional Retaining Wall Contractors in Methuen, MA

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 Triple Safe 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. Ice Guard 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!
