Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Chelmsford, Massachusetts already had one of our sump pumps installed. We had previously suggested installing perimeter drainage in order to direct the high amount of water surrounding her foundation to the sump pump. Due to certain circumstances, the homeowner opted to just have the sump pump put in at the time. Although the sump pump system is working, she now chose to install the perimeter drainage to fully optimize her waterproofing system.

We recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage and CleanSpace vapor barrier to fully protect the basement. CleanSpace was applied to the walls to prevent moisture and humidity. This encapsulation system filters any moisture to the WaterGuard system. Even though the sump pump was already installed, WaterGuard is still able to be connected to it. This system sits within crushed stone and is cemented in place once installed to ensure proper flow.

After installation, our crew tested the system by pouring water into it. After seeing the system work properly, the crew met with the homeowner to perform a final walkthrough. The customer was ecstatic!

Before, the fading sand-colored concrete around this Chelmsford, MA homeowner's pool detracted from the beauty of their backyard haven. As you can see in the photos, we revitalized the space with DecoShield, transforming the dull area into a sleek light gray oasis. Not only did this enhance the aesthetic appeal, but it also delivered a durable solution tailored to withstand time and elements. Now, this homeowner can take pride in an upgraded, polished pool area that truly complements their home.

Upon detecting radon gas in their home, a family in Chelmsford, MA realized the necessity of installing a radon mitigation system to protect their property from this hazardous substance. Our Customer Care team scheduled an appointment for System Design Specialist Mark Proctor to visit the residence and determine the optimal installation strategy for the radon system. Upon hearing our proposal, they expressed enthusiasm about moving forward with the installation. The installation team, headed by Cameron Hughes, began by creating an extraction point in the foundation floor. PVC pipes were then fitted from the extraction point, running along the foundation wall and out of the basement. A fan was attached to the pipes outside, effectively removing radon from the home. The "after" photo shows the pipes extending above the roofline, which prevents radon exposure within the home. The manometer installed in the basement tracks any fluctuations in radon levels, guaranteeing the home's safety. The family can now rest assured that their entire home, not just the basement, is a secure environment.

After a homeowner from Chelmsford, MA completed a radon test and discovered their home had radon levels between 5-8 picocuries, they reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions. This meant the family was at risk for the long-term health effects associated with radon, including lung cancer. With a basement renovation planned, it was essential they protect the new living space from this hazardous and almost undetectable gas, which is likely to rise from the soil and seep through a home's foundation. To offer peace of mind, Erickson Foundation Solutions installed a radon mitigation system for the family.
