Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner in North Andover, MA has been experiencing flooding in their crawl space. This flooding has caused a good amount of damage, as well as mold and odors. Additionally, the crawl space was now struggling to support the rest of the home. This homeowner wanted a permanent solution to eliminate these issues, which is why he reached out to our Erickson Foundation Solutions team.

After a free inspection with our Design Specialist, Nikki Burke recommended installing SmartJacks in the crawl space to withhold and support the structure. Installing a waterproofing system was also essential. In order to do this, our team installed our SmartSump, a sump pump system which collects all the unwanted water and disposes of it safely away from the home. In addition to this, CleanSpace is applied to encapsulate the space. Our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier was also installed to prevent moisture and other undesirable qualities such as mold.

This crawl space was once wet, cold, moldy, and unstable. After installing these products, the crawl space has transformed into a dry and solid foundation. Without worry of water, air is healthy for the household and sagging floors have been restored. This homeowner was thrilled to say the least.

A homeowner from North Andover, Massachusetts is looking to build an addition to their home. Before doing so, the homeowner wanted to make sure that the structure of the home was properly supported. Noticing cracks in the basement foundation, this homeowner called Erickson Foundation Solutions to ensure their foundation walls were stabilized.

After scheduling an appointment for a free inspection, a Design Specialist came to the home and identified the issues that were occurring and discussed a range of solutions that works for the homeowner. We recommended installing GeoLock Wall Anchors and BrightWall. Our Geolock system works by installing galvanized steel plates to the wall, and anchoring them to strong and durable soil, thus stabilizing the wall. The BrightWall system is a 100% waterproof rigid plastic paneling for unfinished basement walls. It stops humidity and water vapor from passing through your basement walls, while turning the basement into a bright and beautiful space. Our installation crew installed these walls prior to the installation of the GeoLocks. To set up the GeoLock system, our crew dug a small trench outside of the home where durable soil was found. The anchoring system was drilled through the wall and soil, until reaching the trench. Then, the steel plate and anchor were screwed and tightened into place. Finally, Hide-A-Way covers are added to those steel plates to create an appealing finish.

With this system in place, the basement wall is now stable and can provide support to the rest of the home, including the addition that is planned to be added. Additionally, the basement will be a much more comfortable living space.

In North Andover, MA, a homeowner dealing with relentless water intrusion in their finished basement faced the costly removal of damaged walls and flooring. Their existing exterior French drain worsened the issue rather than resolving it. We implemented a permanent solution by installing CleanSpace on the foundation walls to direct seepage into our WaterGuard system. In addition, TripleSafe sump pumps and IceGuard discharge lines ensure optimized drainage and protection in severe weather. Notice in the after photo how the space now welcomes beautiful Elite Plank Flooring. Quality craftsmanship and reliability restored this basement's potential.

The entrance way and concrete patio outside this condo residence in Cambridge, Massachusetts was cracked, discolored, and showing signs of settlement. Our specialist showed them how our team could address all their concerns and protect the concrete against future problems as well.

After lifting and stabilizing the concrete, our production team also applied DecoShield, which acts as a concrete sealant to prevent water from seeping into the concrete. This sealant material also had a gray tint, and so the surface of the concrete looks new again. The transformation of the entrance way for this community is not only safer now, but brighter and cleaner. 

This homeowner in Stoneham, Massachusetts, had an issue with drafts and moisture that were causing the floors in the home to be cold during the winter. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their crawlspace. Our Design Specialist recommended installing PolyWall Restoration, CleanSpace, TerraBlock, and a SaniDry Sedona into the crawlspace to address their concerns.
