Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Belmont, Massachusetts has a finished basement that kept leaking. This has caused mold and other undesirable affects. The homeowner wants to create a livable space for family members to use. In order to achieve this, she reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

One of our Design Specialists, Scott Ruisi, came out to the home to complete a free home inspection. Within 90 minutes, Scott diagnosed the issues with the basement and proposed solutions that met the homeowner's expectations. He ultimately recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage, TrenchDrain surface drainage, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This waterproofing system collects water at the perimeter of the foundation before entering the basement, filtering it to the sump pump, and then expelling it from the home through a drainage line. The dehumidifier removes moisture from the air, thus eliminating mold spores and other toxins, which creates better air quality. Our installation crew chipped out the perimeter of the basement floor and wall to make space for the WaterGuard system. Once space was made, WaterGuard was laid in place on top of crushed stone. TrenchDrain is used in areas where WaterGuard in inaccessible.  These two systems connect to each other, forming a path that allows water to flow to the sump pump. A basin was created for the sump pump to sit in and collect the water. Once the drainage system was connected to the sump pump, everything was cemented in place. The exterior drainage line was then added to the sump pump.

Our installation crew made sure to keep the space neat and tidy. Once the job was complete, they gave the homeowner a walkthrough of their new waterproofing system. They were thrilled with the result.

In Andover, MA, a homeowner faced the challenge of a badly cracked and sunken garage floor, which had dropped 4 inches, complicating garage access and increasing frustration, especially during winter. With expertise and precision, Erickson Foundation Solutions effectively restored the garage floor using our advanced PolyLevel® system, which expertly lifted and stabilized the slab with high-strength polyurethane foam. We complemented this with NexusPro® Joint Sealant to reinforce the repair, sealing cracks and keeping the garage accessible and durable. As photos show, our solution returned a stable and functional surface for everyday use.

We recently tackled a challenging repair in Fremont, NH, where a homeowner faced a frustrating issue - the right side of their garage floor had sunk by 3 inches. As you can see in the before photo, the imbalance was quite noticeable and problematic. By leveraging our cutting-edge solutions, PolyLevel and NexusPro, we effectively raised and stabilized the sunken concrete. The after photo showcases the seamless and level surface - testament to our commitment to delivering durable solutions and an exceptional customer experience.

This sidewalk leading up to the entrance of the Blaisdell Library in Nottingham, NH had some uneven concrete and trip hazards. For families and children, these trip hazards were unsafe. When it came to shoveling snow in the winter, the uneven concrete was a nuisance. 

Our concrete repair team was successfully able to lift and level the uneven sections of the sidewalk with PolyLevel to help the library create a safe environment for their community. A one day repair that saved the library thousands of dollars compared to replacing the walkway with new concrete.

A homeowner in Woburn, MA, who recently acquired a property, decided to test for radon gas. The test results indicated levels exceeding 20 pCi/L, necessitating the installation of a radon mitigation system. To put it in perspective, levels above 4.0 pCi/L are considered harmful to health. Following an assessment by one of our Design Specialists, a strategy was devised to implement the radon mitigation system. The installation team promptly and carefully set up the system, which includes an extraction point in the basement and a fan that channels the gas from beneath the ground, through the pipes, and out above the roofline, ensuring it is directed away from the house. Equipped with a monitor to measure radon levels, the homeowner can now rest assured that they are safeguarded against this hazardous gas.
