Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

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.

A homeowner in Medford, Massachusetts noticed their foundation wall was severely bowing inwards with multiple cracks after removing drywall. This raised big concern that the wall would collapse. In search of safety and peace of mind, they reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our Design Specialist, Kenneth Calabrese, recommended installing an auxiliary foundation wall to stabilize the foundation. Our installation crew started the job by demoing the necessary area of drywall in order to access the foundation wall. PowerBraces were then installed, which consist of steel I-beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. A SmartJack was also installed to support the floor joist system. Concrete was then poured to create the auxiliary wall. 

After the concrete dried, the crew looked over the work, cleaned up the space, and performed a final walkthrough with the homeowner. The wall is now stabilized and can be added on in the future if the homeowner so chooses to finish the basement.

This homeowner in Reading, MA was concerned with the condition of the concrete walkway leading up to their front door. Over the years as water eroded away the soil base of the walkway, the slabs began to sink and shift in various directions. This left an uneven surface that was not only unsightly, but also full of trip hazards. The owner was looking for a solution that did not require replacing the entire walkway, and our Erickson team proposed and installed the solution they needed.

To remove the grit and grime build up, our team first pressure washed the concrete surface. To level and stabilize the concrete slabs, they then injected PolyLevel, a polymer foam which expands and fills voids. Once the trip hazards were leveled out and the concrete was even, the final step included sealing the joints with NexusPro silicone, and sealing the surface with SealantPro. This surface sealant ensures that the porous concrete surface will no longer absorb rainwater (or snow melt), and so prolongs the life of the concrete.  In the after photo, the green tint is within the sealant spray, which helps the installer visually as he applies the material. As it dries, the tint fades and leaves nothing but a clear concrete surface.

This walkway has been fixed and protected, ensuring it will last for years to come.
