In Westford, MA, a homeowner faced basement water seepage in one corner, hindering a potential sale. In the before photo, you can see visible damage from recurring water leaks. We implemented a comprehensive solution to ensure lasting dryness and increase the home's market value. Our team expertly installed the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system, effectively capturing water before it reached the floor. Paired with the UltraSump System for reliable water removal and IceGuard to combat winter blockages, the after photo reveals a completely dry, stable basement. These solutions create healthier and more valuable homes.
In Westford, MA, the homeowner faced a serious issue with water intrusion through a cracked basement foundation wall and 1/4'' wall deflection. This compromised their home's structural integrity and security. Leaks and wall shifts were evident. Erickson Foundation Solutions swiftly addressed this with our advanced GeoLock Wall Anchor and FlexiSpan systems. These solutions prevented further inward wall movement and ensured effective crack sealing. The after photo clearly demonstrates the restored stability and water protection, guaranteeing a safer, sounder home environment.
In the before photo, notice the sunken courtyard area in Westford, MA, which led to standing water issues after heavy rains. This problem diminished the safety and usability of the homeowner’s space. Utilizing our expertise at Erickson Foundation Solutions, we provided a sophisticated fix. We applied PolyLevel® to stabilize and lift the concrete slabs, attaining proper elevation and water drainage. Given the lasting impact of moisture, SealantPro® was also employed to reinforce the foundation. This provided a waterproof, lasting barrier, preserving the concrete’s integrity. The result? A safe, secure courtyard, now dry and stable regardless of rainfall.
Before: This Westford, MA homeowner was dealing with sagging floors caused by inadequate basement support. During our inspection, we found that aging wooden support posts and temporary support posts were no longer providing the structural strength needed to support the floor system above. As a result, the floors had begun to sag, creating concerns about stability and making future home improvement projects difficult to tackle with confidence.
After: To permanently stabilize the floor system, Erickson Foundation Solutions installed four SmartJack® support posts in the basement. The SmartJack system provides strong, adjustable support to reinforce weakened floor structures and help prevent further movement. With the new supports in place, the homeowner now has a stabilized floor system and can confidently move forward with other home projects, knowing their home is built on a stronger foundation.
This homeowner had concerns with the supports in the crawlspace. The floors in the home were sagging and noisy, and the supports in the crawlspace were old, rusted, and unreliable. A number of SmartJacks were installed by Erickson Foundation Supportworks, as well as some reinforcing steel i-beams.
