Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Nashua, New Hampshire has consistently experienced leaks in his finished basement. The carpet gets damp and creates an uncomfortable living space, especially since the basement is his workspace. This has also raised mold concerns. Looking for peace of mind, the homeowner reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

We recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage and our TripleSafe sump pump system to waterproof the basement. This waterproofing system intercepts water along the entire border of the foundation and pumps it safely out of the home. Our crew installed this system by first chipping out concrete along the perimeter of the basement. This allowed space for the WaterGuard system to be put in place. Simultaneously, a basin was created for the TripleSafe sump pump system to sit in. Once debris from the chipping were removed, the WaterGuard and TripleSafe were put into place on top of crushed stone. They were then cemented into the foundation. An exterior drainage line was then added to the sump pump system. This plumbing allows the sump pump to dispose the water outside of the home. IceGuard was added to that plumbing to prevent pipes from freezing in extreme temperatures.

With all these systems in place, a waterproofed basement has been created. After going through the final walkthrough with the homeowner, he was thrilled that he finally has a clean and dry workspace!

A homeowner from Nashua, New Hampshire had his finished basement ruined after the basement flooded. Water made its way through the foundation, ruining walls, floors, and personal belongings. Wanting to repair the living space, this homeowner knew he had to start by waterproofing the basement.

Anthony Brancato, one of our Design Specialists, went out to the home to provide a free inspection. He recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage and our TripleSafe sump pump system. This waterproofing system collects water at the perimeter of the basement and delivers it to the sump pump, which then pumps the water out of the home through an exterior drainage line. Our crew chipped out concrete to create a basin for the sump pump to sit in, and along the foundation border for the WaterGuard system. Once these systems were installed, they were cemented into place. The exterior drainage line was then installed and buried in a safe location outside of the home. Our IceGuard mechanism was installed to the exterior drainage line to prevent freezing, eliminating the risk of another flood.

With all systems in place, a waterproofed basement has been created. The homeowner can now rebuild his finished basement with peace of mind that the basement will stay dry.

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire wants to turn her basement into a living space. Before being able to use the space as a music and workout room, she wanted to make sure the basement would stay dry all the time. Creating a waterproofed basement was essential to ensure that damaged personal belongings would not occur.

After reaching out to our team, Design Specialist, John Prince, went out to the home to conduct a free home inspection. After completing the inspection, John recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage and TripleSafe sump pump system. This system is designed to intercept water before entering the foundation and pump it out of the home. The WaterGuard system is installed along the perimeter of the foundation to collect water before being exposed to the basement walls or floor, and then diverting it to the sump pump. The sump pump system sits in a basin where water is collected and pumps the water out of the home through an exterior discharge line. IceGuard was attached to the discharge line to prevent it from freezing. A frozen drainage line can lead to water backup, resulting in a potential basement flood.

With this system installed, the homeowner can use the living space with peace of mind knowing that her music and workout equipment are safe from leaks and flooding!

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire is preparing to sell their home and is looking to make the right investments to increase its value. This includes addressing the bulkhead door that has begun to rust and allows water to seep into the basement. In search of a company that offers high-quality installation services, they contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Upon inspecting the bulkhead door, our System Design Specialist, Michael LaMalfa, advised the installation of a new one. Crew foreman Justin Broussard and his team, with meticulous attention to detail, diligently removed the decayed bulkhead door and installed a replacement.

The installation of the new bulkhead door has successfully prevented water from entering the basement and has significantly enhanced the aesthetic appeal. Consequently, the homeowner has fulfilled their initial objective of the project, which was to increase the property's value.

A resident of Nashua, NH recently conducted a radon gas test in their home and discovered a concentration of 4 pCi/L, which aligns with the threshold established by the Environmental Protection Agency for the installation of a radon mitigation system. Radon is a hazardous gas that cannot be detected by human senses, thereby increasing its risk. This gas originates from the soil beneath a home's foundation and has the potential to infiltrate the basement and other areas of the residence. Given that the homeowner frequently occupies the basement, this finding was particularly alarming. Consequently, they contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions to seek a lasting resolution. After a successful installation, the home is now safe from radon gas. The homeowner can now enjoy the basement space, as well as the rest of the home, with peace of mind.
