  • Water Grabber

     

     

     

    Water Grabber - Most waterproofing systems are done on the inside of the home. When interior drainage systems are installed, they need a central ejection device - a way to get the water from the basement to the outside of the home. The Water Grabber®, Sump Pump Extraordinaire, is the heart and lungs of our system.

  • Alternator

    Alternator - The Alternator allows you to re-route the discharge point to the area needed. Our Freeze Stop guarantees the pump will discharge in freezing conditions. Our Alternator™ gives you the option to direct the water to a different spot in the yard.

  • Freeze Stop

    Freeze Stop - Most waterproofing systems run on sump pumps. The sump pump usually runs to the outside of the home. When it gets cold, exterior discharge lines easily freeze. The pump will continue to pump, but due to the frozen discharge line, the water will back up and cause your basement to flood. Not Any More! Our Freeze Stop™ eliminates this from ever happening.

  • Finish White

    Finish White - Finish and waterproof your walls in one step. The Finish White™ panel system makes your basement look like a finished room and also waterproofs at the same time.

  • Hot Floor

    Hot floor - Hot Floor™ is a specially insulated padded barrier installed between your concrete basement floor, plywood and carpet. It is unique because it actually gives you the warmth and comfortable feeling of a “hot floor” similar to the top floor of your home.

  • Tank Pro

    Tank Pro - A hot water tank rupture can devastate a basement. You've protected yourself with the best basement waterproofing system on the planet, you should also protect your basement from unexpected plumbing breaks. The exclusive design of this product allows it to be put around washing machines, well water tanks, and any other water holding device in the basement. So if a disaster happens; a hose on washing machine lets go, or a tank ruptures, the water will be contained.

  • Bon Aire

    Bon Aire - Having the Bon Aire System installed will extract humidity from the lowest point of your dwelling, which is your basement floor. By extracting this moist cool air, warmer, drier air will be pulled down from upstairs until the desired, preset humidity level is reached. In this fashion, it recycles hot air which would otherwise be lost through normal building leaks. The system acquires through normal filtration of air throughout the dwelling via cracks, doors, windows and plugs.

  • Air Mop

    Air Mop - The ultimate in dehumidification and clean, dry air for your basement environment - the combination of the Air Mop® 30 and the Bon Aire™. The Air Mop® 30 dries the air and removes harmful water vapor. It turns the water vapor to a liquid and in turn, drains the water to your Water Trek system or drywell beneath the floor.

  • Crawl Space Solution

    Crawl Space Solution - Dirt crawl spaces underneath homes are another unfortunate common occurrence. Dirt under a home is a bad concept for the health of your family and home. The dirt tends to be damp and allows humidity vapors up into the living space creating potential for mold and mildew, insects and rodents, along with potential for structural damage to the home.

  • Fieldstone Wall Solution

    Fieldstone Wall Solution - Fieldstone foundation walls are an unfortunate reality in some older homes. These foundation walls always have gaps in them, which allow water, humidity, dampness, rodents and insects to enter the basement.

     
EFS can work with any foundation material/configuration: fieldstone, concrete block, poured concrete, with footer, without footer, crawl spaces, finished basements, unfinished basements…

Basements are not built to be water tight. Builders take steps to damp proof exterior foundations, but do NOT waterproof them.

Virtually every basement receives some water entry whether it be in the form of moisture noted on the walls and/or floor or a noticeable stream of water running through the basement.  Due to many factors, including foundation material utilized (block, stone, poured concrete…) and water entry points, there is not one method or product to fix all of the possible problems.  That is why Engineered Foundation Solutions, PLLC offers many patented products from the industry leader Basement Technologies to allow us to offer “Custom Tailored Waterproofing."
