Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Methuen Massachusetts, had lived in their home for the past 7 years. They have always had a sump pump system installed in their basement but the pump was pumping constantly. They decided they would like to upgrade their current system. They contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions to inspect their home and look at their current system. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowner and recommended installing a new sump pump system in their basement. Our Specialist recommended installing a SuperSump, SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, IceGuard, and Exterior Drainage Line to the home to pump and carry water away from the foundation of the home. 

A homeowner in Methuen, Massachusetts had removed the drywall in their basement due to water seepage, only to discover that there were massive cracks in their foundation wall. They reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions to stabilize the wall and protect the property value.

Our Design Specialist, Tom Armano, recommended installing GeoLocks to prevent the foundation wall from further bowing inward. The GeoLocks are put in place by installing steel plates to the wall, and anchoring them in to strong, durable soil outside of the home. This prevents the wall from leaning and can even straighten it.

With the GeoLocks installed, the wall is stabilized, and the home is properly supported. The homeowner now has peace of mind in having a safe basement.

A homeowner in Strafford, New Hampshire experienced leaks in his finished basement. This created an annoying cleanup process, as well as damages to the finished wall. His main concern was being away from home for long periods of time. As someone who frequently travels, he wanted peace of mind that his basement wouldn't flood while he is away.

Our Design Specialist, Jason Vachon, recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage and upgrading the liner to the already existing sump pump. WaterGuard collects water from the high-water table surrounding the home and delivers it to the sump pump. It is then pumped out of the home through an exterior discharge line. The basin that the sump pump used to sit in left the pump exposed, which can be problematic. The TripleSafe liner covers the pump, which prevents debris from clogging the system and minimizes humidity. Once WaterGuard is connected to the sump basin, they are cemented in place to ensure proper flow and create a smooth finish.

With the basement waterproofed, this homeowner finally has the peace of mind that he's been searching for.

A home in Wilmington, Massachusetts, had an issue with the foundation sinking. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their foundation. Our Design Specialist Mark Proctor met with the homeowner and inspected all of their concerns. After the inspection, Mark recommended installing Helical Piers around the settling portion of the foundation. We installed a total of 8 Helical Piers around the sinking corner of the foundation. 

In this recent basement waterproofing project in Wilmington, MA, the homeowner faced challenges due to a failed sump pump that left their finished basement water-damaged. As solution innovators at Erickson Foundation Solutions, we applied a comprehensive strategy: installing WaterGuard®, TripleSafe™ Sump Pump, and IceGuard®. These features work seamlessly to channel and remove intruding water, showcased in the after photo. Further stabilization was achieved using the SmartJack® system, while the aesthetics were restored with our ThermalDry Flooring and EverLast Half Walls. With expertise and cutting-edge systems, we have redefined the construction experience.
