Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Concord, Massachusetts, has lived in their home since the early 90s. They have gone over 20 years without having water in their basement. This all changed a couple of years ago, and now rainstorms will cause water to flood their basements. The homeowners don't have a sump pump so they have to clean up the basement themselves by using a shop vac. 

Over the past couple of years, the homeowners have grown frustrated with each rainstorm. This year they decided it was time to find a solution to prevent the water from collecting on the floor in the basement. The homeowners called EFS and our Design Specialist met with the homeowners and inspected the basement. After the inspection, we recommended installing a sump pump, interior drainage, and an exterior drainage system. 

Our Installation Team installed WaterGuard, TripleSafe, IceGuard, and Exterior Drainage to the home to prevent water from collecting on the basement floor. 

An owner of a rental property in Concord, Massachusetts, has seen water entering their basement during rainstorms. The owner called EFS to have us inspect the basement and find a solution to their water problem. Our Design Specialist met with the owner and looked around the basement. They recommended installing a full perimeter drainage system into the basement to prevent water from collecting in the basement. 

Our installation team installed 140 feet of WaterGuard, a TripleSafe, 2 IceGuards, and 10 feet of Exterior Drainage. This system will protect the basement from water penetrating the basement and causing a flood. The system will collect that water and pump it out and away from the foundation.

A homeowner in Concord, Massachusetts experienced a cracking and sinking concrete walkway. The sinkage caused massive puddling on the way to the front door. Looking to eliminate this issue and establish a cleaner look, she reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our Design Specialist, Mark Proctor, recommended installing PolyLevel and NexusPro to lift, level, and stabilize the concrete. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that was injected underneath the sinking concrete slab. This fills voids, which stabilizes the concrete. After achieving the lift, our installation crew leveled the concrete. NexusPro was then installed to seal joints and cracks. This helps prevent further settling and cracking in the future, while also proving an attractive finish.

With the concrete repaired, the puddling and trip hazards are eliminated. The homeowner now has a safe and inviting walkway.

A homeowner in Sherborn, Massachusetts, had lived in their home for 6 years. Their neighbors one day knocked on the door to tell them that they had installed a radon mitigation system in their home because they had higher than recommended radon levels. The homeowner decided to get their home tested after their neighbors stopped by. The levels in their home tested at 5.8 pCi/L so they decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist recommended and designed a radon mitigation system to install in their home. 

Our installation team installed a radon mitigation system into the home and lowered the radon levels from 5.8 pCi/L to below 4.0 pCi/L. 

A homeowner in Sherborn, MA expressed concerns about the safety of their residence after detecting radon levels of 8 picocuries per liter. The Environmental Protection Agency recommends mitigation for homes with radon levels exceeding 4 picocuries per liter. Following a comprehensive inspection, we devised a tailored solution to protect the home from radon. This solution involved creating two extraction points in the basement, equipping them with PVC piping to safely expel radon, installing a radon fan to actively draw radon gas, and extending additional PVC piping to release the radon above the roofline. The homeowner now has peace of mind, knowing their home is safeguarded against radon gas.
