Hampshire County, MA Detailed Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair

The Leader Foundation Solutions installation team headed out to Florence to waterproof a basement. The first two pictures were the 'Before' shots. They installed CleanSpace, which is the white poly sheet material shown in the last picture. It is a major part of the waterproofing system, and redirects moisture and vapor coming through the wall into the perimeter drain system they installed, which can be seen in the last picture as well. A TrenchDrain was also put in at the base of the stairs to catch any water that seeps in from the bulkhead, which can be seen in the third picture. They did a fantastic job!

Our crew went out to a couple's home in Florence. They reported high flooding in the basement, even though there was a sump pump installed by another company down there already. Our company found that water was seeping in at the base of the walls. Our crew installed WaterGuard sub-floor drainage to direct water to the newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. The water was then sent through the discharge line, exited via the LawnScape Outlet and away from the home. An IceGuard was also installed to keep the discharge free from freezing and blockages in the winter months.

When this customer called, they reported that they had a "muddy, scary crawlspace". They wanted it to be cleaned up to make access easier and to improve the air quality of their home. Our Call Center Representative scheduled an appointment for a free inspection and written estimate with a System Design Specialist.

The System Design Specilist found that what this family needed was to encapsulate their crawlspace with our CleanSpace vapor barrier system. He also recommended the installation of a SaniDry Sedona to keep things free of mold, must and mildew. 

This customer is a Gulf War Veteran and we were very honored to help with his home.

He was noticing seepage coming up from the floor and he believed the air quality was an issue. He  had seen our work in a friend's basement and wanted Leader Foundation Solutions to do the work in his home.

Our System Design Specialist evaluated the home and recommended the SaniDry™ Sedona, which is proven to improve a home's indoor air quality. It also can remove the smell of must and prevents mold growth by reducing humidity. 

We also installed a condensate pump because there wasn't easy access to a drain or a sump pump. This condensate pump will discharge the water out of the home. 

All of our Veterans receive a Military Discount for their honorable service to our country. 

This customer in Florence, MA reached out to us because they were having issues despite a sump having been installed by another company.

This customer in Belchertown, MA, contacted due to a consistent water issue in her basement. She stated she'd noticed water for years prior to calling. She said that until recently, the water had been minimal, but suddenly there was a great amount of water despite it not raining. She had a sump pump that was pre-existing installed by someone else in the past, but it wasn't working properly. We set her up with a System Design Specialist.

Our crew installed WaterGuard, a TrenchDrain, an IceGuard, a LawnScape Outlet, and a SuperSump pump. Now this customer has a dry basement whether it is raining or not!

A customer in Northampton, MA wanted us to come and conduct annual maintenance on his sump pump because a water main had recently broken on his road.

We know things happen unexpectedly and always do our best to accommodate our customers!

This new homeowner in Amherst, MA contacted us to ensure that the pre-existing SuperSump pump in her basement was working as it should.
We were very proud to have the opportunity to meet the new homeowner and evaluate the sump we had installed. The system was working as desired. Many unexpected things can pop up after buying a new home. A wet basement shouldn't be one of them!

This homeowner first contacted us back in 2015  to waterproof their basement. We have been conducting annual system maintenance ever since. We are proud to say that this was yet another positive outcome for a homeowner. 

While on this particular annual appointment, our Service Specialist noticed a leaking pipe and notified the homeowner. He was very thankful to know about the pipe so that he could have it repaired.

This customer in Amherst, MA contacted us after having his radon system installed. He noticed water entering his basement. He did have a sump, but when the radon system was installed the installer covered the sump.

Now our customer is able to enjoy a dry, comfortable and healthy basement!

This customer contacted us regarding water entering her home. 

Our System Design Specialist met with this homeowner and recommended several of our waterproofing products.

Our team was quick to install our WaterGuard sub-floor perimeter drainage system along with inspection ports. We also installed a TrenchDrain at the foot of the stairs. Next, we installed our SuperSump and an IceGuard, which ensured there wouldn't be any clogs or freezing during extreme temperature changes. 

The customer was very satisfied with the result and we couldn't have been happier to provide the solution to her concerns. 

This customer first reached out to us because she wanted her crawl space encapsulated.  At that time, the crawl space was insulated with fiberglass. Our System Design Specialist recommended that we install our CleanSpace vapor/moisture barrier as well as our SmartDrain, a SaniDry dehumidifier, and vent covers. 

This customer reached out to us with a damp and moldy crawl space. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier, along with a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier were the perfect solutions for this customer. Due to mold not being able to grow in humidity below 55%, the dehumidifier solved her mold issues. 

   This customer called the appointment center with concern about her flooded basement. She set an appointment for an inspector to come out and see what could be done to solve her issues. The inspector crafted a solution especially for this customer and her space. She set an appointment for installation.

   The crew arrived and installed a Trench Drain, a SuperSump to pump the water out, a Floodscape and a Lawnscape outlet, where the water would be discharged outside. The crew cleaned up her basement and left the customer happy she had utilized Leader Foundation Solutions.

  When this customer called, she was very concerned because she had water coming into her crawlspace through an area where the floor above was sagging. The customer believed she needed a support beam replaced, so we sent our inspector out immediately to see what could be done to remedy her dire situation.

   After the inspection, a civil engineer went out to assess for safety in the job to be completed. Then the work was set to be performed when proper permits were acquired. Two Smart Jack XT supports were installed to support the floor joist system above. A supplemental PowerBrace beam was also installed. Assist Brackets were attached to floor joists above the support beam and all joists in the area of the crippled joists were replaced. This customer saved her home by having our professional and experienced company come to the rescue!

   When this customer called the Appointment Center, she complained of a long, thick crack in the wall of her foundation. She stated that water leaked through this crack and all over the floor anytime it rained. Our Appointment Center Representative sent out a System Design Specialist to inspect the foundation.

   The solution for this customer's issue was relatively simple and cost-effective. She had FlexiSpan inserted into the crack. Now, when it rains, her basement stays dry and the crack is no longer spreading!

   This customer wanted the concrete from his garage floor removed and replaced. The crew went out and an excavation was performed. They disposed of the concrete and debris. They then loaded, drove and dumped concrete and dirt material from the home to the closest stone yard. 

   When this customer called, he reported that his basement was getting water damage on the floor due to frequent flooding. He wanted a System Design Specialist to come out for a free inspection and to provide a written estimate.

  Our crew ended up installing two TripleSafe sump pumps to expel water from the basement. The pumps had WaterWatch alarms. They also installed a discharge line with an IceGuard to prevent any freezing or blockage of the line in winter months.

When this customer called he was looking for a cost-effective way to solve his basement water problems. We set up an appointment for him to meet with a System Design Specialist to create a solution within his budget.

Our crew installed 108 feet of WaterGuard drainage around the perimeter of the basement along with a WaterGuard Port for the system to be flushed annually. He also had a SuperSump Plus pump to discharge water collected by the WaterGuard.
