Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Concord, New Hampshire, had their stone and brick foundaiton wall bowing outward. The homeowner reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their foundation to find a solution for their home. Our Design Specialist inspected the home and recommended installing an Auxiliary Wall against the foundation where the wall was bowing outward. Our crew arrived at the home and installed an Auxiliary wall over the bowing section of the foundation. 

This homeowner in Auburndale, Massachusetts, has owned their home for the past 14 years. They had water entering their home periodically over the last decade. They called EFS for a free inspection of their basement and our Design Specialist recommended installing a perimeter drainage system into the basement to collect any water from the basement and pump it outside the home. 

Our team installed 11' of WaterGuard, 12' of CleanSpace, a TripleSafe, and IceGuard with an Exterior Drainage Line to prevent water from collecting in the basement. 

This before and after series highlights the effectiveness of PolyLevel for lifting and leveling concrete slabs. This homeowner was very concerned with the individual concrete slabs he had running along his view of the Merrimack River in Manchester, NH. There were several tripping hazards, and overall it was becoming more and more unsightly. 

Our concrete repair team successfully leveled various sections of the patio for the homeowner, while also sealing all the joints and exposed cracks for additional layer of protection. With rainwater unable to seep beneath and cause more erosion, this concrete is protected for years to come.

A homeowner in Manchester, New Hampshire, has lived in their home since the late 1970s. Last year, the homeowners noticed water coming into their basement during heavy rains. To find out how the water was coming into the basement the homeowners called EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist looked at the interior and exterior of the home to find where the water was coming in. Our Specialist found that water was seeping into the basement through the window. We recommend installing our SunHouse Enclosures to prevent water from flowing through the window and into the basement. 

A homeowner in Lowell, Massachusetts has lived in a home over 200 years old. For 10 years, he has experienced water seepage ruining his basement walls and floor. Concerned about the health of his foundation, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Design Specialist, Victor Tapia, visited the home to provide a free home inspection. Although many people consider a French Drain (an outside perimeter drainage system), Victor explained how trenching outside the exterior of the foundation wall can be harmful. With durable soil being removed from along the foundation walls, the structural integrity is at risk, especially an old cobblestone foundation. This could cause basement walls to bow, lean, and even collapse. Victor instead recommended an indoor perimeter waterproofing system. This system is composed of our WaterGuard perimeter drainage, UltraSump sump pump, and CleanSpace vapor barrier. The system collects water along the border of the foundation and distributes it to the sump pump basin. From there, the sump pump expels water safely out of the home through an exterior discharge line. The CleanSpace vapor barrier captures any additional water that seeps through the wall and filters it to the WaterGuard system. With the wall encapsulated, moisture in the basement is also alleviated.

With a little TLC, this 200-year-old chamber is turned into a beautiful dry basement!
