Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Middleton, New Hampshire, had purchased their lakeside home just over two years ago. When they purchased the home they noticed the floors in the home seemed to be out of level. They called EFS to have us inspect the crawlspace to look at the supports and the floor system. We recommended replacing the existing cinder block supports with 12 SmartJacks and Supplemental beams to stabilize and level the floors. 

The association for this condo village in Canton, MA wanted to fix various walkways and concrete entrances. Over the years, the slabs had settled, cracked, formed trip hazards, and become unsightly. Rather than tearing out to replace all the concrete, one of the property managers mentioned he came across PolyLevel while researching repair methods, and was anxious to see if this would be the right solution for them. After receiving a free inspection and a detailed proposal outlining the benefits of PolyLevel, they decided to hire Erickson Foundation Solutions for the repairs. 

After installation of PolyLevel to lift, level, and stabilize the various concrete walkways, our production team also sealed all the cracks and joints with NexusPro, a silicone based caulking specifically designed for exterior applications. 

The condo association was pleased with the results and are glad they chose our Erickson team for their concrete repair needs. 

The coping around this pool in North Andover had separated from the concrete pool deck as the patio settled over the years. When our team arrived, the concrete had settled up to 2 inches in some spots. This created a dangerous trip hazard around the perimeter of the pool.

After installation of PolyLevel, this joint was near level, and the trip hazard had disappeared. Rather than rip out and replace all the concrete, this solution was cost effective and quick, as repairs took a single day. 

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.
