Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner is selling their home in the near future and wants to make sure the selling process goes smoothly. Structural issues were a big concern. Looking to strengthen the foundation, this homeowner reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Design Specialist, Mark Proctor, noticed severe foundation problems upon giving a free home inspection. Cobblestone walls had settled, resulting in brick walls bowing outward and even partially collapsing. With such drastic basement damage, Mark recommended reconstructing the foundation walls and pouring a new concrete slab. Our installation crew demoed the entire front wall section, carefully disassembling the corner that was held together by only foam. Reconstructing the foundation was a challenge with rain hitting the exposed cobblestone, but with the crew's care and attention to detail, they were able to overcome it.

With a new foundation, the home is now properly supported. This homeowner now has peace of mind during the home selling process, and while he continues to live in the home.

An autobody shop in Worcester, MA had been experiencing issues with cars entering and exiting the bays due to sinking concrete. Voids underneath the concrete had caused the concrete to sink, creating an uneven surface. This business reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions to lift and stabilize the concrete.

Our Design Specialist recommended installing PolyLevel concrete leveling and NexusPro joint repair. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that is injected underneath the concrete to fill the voids and almost instantly create a level surface. This is a quick and permanent solution that costs a fraction of installing new concrete. Once the PolyLevel lifted the concrete, NexusPro was used to seal the joints between the concrete. NexusPro prevents water from invading the soil underneath the concrete, preventing concrete cracks or becoming uneven. It is resistant to UV rays to prevent the sealant from cracking, foaming, or drying.

With the concrete now lifted to its original placement, both employees and customers can rejoice that cars can easily make their way in and out of the bays. 

This homeowner in Ashby, MA was concerned with the concrete walkway leading up to the entrance of their house. The walkway was uneven and full of trip hazards due to the uneven concrete. Over the years, as water eroded away the soils under the slabs, voids formed, and the concrete began to sink.

Our team proposed lifting the sunken areas with PolyLevel, a polyurethane based foam product, which effectively fills all the voids beneath the concrete and lifts it to the desired location. Demolishing and replacing this concrete walkway would be expensive and take several days to complete. With PolyLevel, our team left behind no mess, finished in a single day, and saved the homeowner money while delivering with a great solution. 

The trip hazards are now gone, and they have peace of mind that guests visiting their home will be safe while walking up to the front door.

A homeowner in Cranston, Rhode Island was concerned with their concrete patio cracking and settling, creating tripping hazards. Noticing that the problem was getting worse, they wanted to lift and stabilize the concrete before further damage occurred.

Our Design Specialist, Jim Meglio, went to the home to conduct a free home inspection. After completing the inspection, he recommended installing PolyLevel to lift and level the sunken concrete. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam used to fill voids between the soil and concrete. Our installation crew drilled tiny holes in the concrete in order to inject the foam. After lifting the concrete back to its original spot, NexusPro joint repair was used to seal the cracks. NexusPro stops water from making its way underneath the concrete, preventing shifting and cracking.

With the application of these products, the patio has become a safe and more visually appealing space.

A homeowner in New London, New Hampshire had concerns with his damp and musty bedroom. He noticed this issue ever since he moved into the home three years ago. Unable to continue living in these circumstances, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions for a permanent fix. 

One of our Design Specialists, Josh Phillips, went to the house to conduct a free home inspection. While completing the inspection, Josh noticed that the existing encapsulation system in the crawl space was not keeping moisture out as it was intended. This was the source of why the homeowner's bedroom was damp and musty. Mold, wood rot, and other negative effects also resulted because of it. The wood rot has caused cracks in the wall and doors to not shut properly. Josh recommended installing our SuperSump sump pump, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The SuperSump sits in a basin in the crawl space and pumps out water that is surrounding the outside of the foundation. The CleanSpace vapor barrier properly encapsulates the crawl space to keep out moisture, which protects against mold, wood rot, and pests. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier further helps prevent against moisture, creating a dry space and delivering better air quality to the entire home.

The homeowner loved the final result. He will look to us when completing future home projects.
