Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Westford, Massachusetts, has seen water entering their basement. Their old sump pump isn't doing the job it used to, so the homeowners decided to call EFS to find a solution for stopping water from entering their basement. Our Design Specialist visited the home and recommended installing a new sump pump and perimeter drainage into the basement to prevent water from collecting in the basement. 

This homeowner had noticed water accumulating in their basement, but recently it started getting significantly worse. Every time there was heavy rain, the basement would flood. This problem led to an annoying cleanup process, as well as the basement becoming filled with moisture. Signs of mold even started to arise. In order to solve this problem, the homeowner reached out to our Erickson Foundation Solutions team.

After our Design Specialist completed the home inspection, they recommended installing our SuperSump, a sump pump that disposes of unwanted water safely. This water is captured around the perimeter of the basement before having the chance to enter and filtered to the sump pump. Once the water is expelled out of the home, our IceGuard system is attached to the plumbing in order to allow water to flow even if the pipes freeze. This further guarantees that the sump pump won't overflow and flood the basement.

With this waterproof system in place, the homeowner can now rely on his basement being a dry, welcoming space.

A homeowner in Westford, MA, faced a common nightmare: a broken sump pump that led to a flooded basement, spotlighted in our 'before' photo. Rising to the challenge, Erickson Foundation Solutions came through, and as evident in our 'after' picture, we transformed chaos back into tranquility. By installing our TripleSafe Sump Pump, coupled with WaterGuard drainage and an IceGuard system, we not only rectified the flooding issue but also co-engineered a robust defense to ensure lasting dryness and peace of mind.

In Westford, MA, a homeowner faced a common but troubling issue: a wet crawl space with a dirt floor, leading to unwanted humidity. Understanding the discomfort, we jumped into action to turn this nuisance around. As shown in the before photo, the challenge was evident. Yet, notice in the after photo how our solution reinstates comfort. By laying down a robust drainage matting beneath our CleanSpace liner and installing a high-efficiency SaniDry Sedona, we not only addressed the wetness but set the stage for further waterproofing with a TripleSafe liner—ready for a future pump installation. This transformation is not just about solving today’s humidity issue; it’s about sustainable comfort for the days to come.

Concerned about elevated radon levels in their Westford, MA home, a homeowner reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions after a radon test revealed concentrations of 4 picocuries per liter. This level is the threshold at which the Environmental Protection Agency advises the installation of a radon mitigation system. To provide a permanent solution, we installed our radon mitigation system, which included creating an extraction point through the foundation, routing PVC piping from the extraction point to the exterior, installing an active radon fan, and venting the radon above the roofline. Additionally, we used NexusPro to seal all basement cracks, further preventing radon gas infiltration. The homeowner immediately noticed a reduction in radon levels, ensuring their home is now permanently safeguarded from this hazardous gas.
