Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner had water coming into their basement periodically. One of their friends referred them to Erickson Foundation Solutions and our design specialist recommended installing WaterGuard and a TripleSafe in their basement. 

A homeowner in Salem, New Hampshire, had lived in their home for the past 30 years. Over the years the homeowner had noticed the block foundation wall start to bow and deteriorate. Our design specialist recommended installing a new masonry wall to the front of the home in place of the bowed one. 

A homeowner in Salem, New Hampshire, has lived in this home since 1992. The home was built in 1945 and has a cinderblock foundation that constantly floods during rainstorms. This year the homeowner went on vacation a short drive away from Salem. During their vacation, a rainstorm flooded the basement, and they had to return early to remove the water. The homeowner sees this home as their forever home because they are close to their family and grandchildren so they plan to stay here and repair any current issues. The homeowners called EFS for a free inspection of their basement and we recommended installing a full perimeter drainage system into the basement to collect any water that entered the basement and pump it out. 

A homeowner in Salem, New Hampshire had been experiencing drywall cracking and sagging floors in the house. With plans to sell the home in the near future, the homeowner wanted to stabilize the floors in order to maintain value of the home. She reached out to Erickson team for a permanent solution.

Our Design Specialist, Liam FitzPatrick, recommended installing SmartJack support posts in the crawl space in order to uplift and stabilize the floors. These SmartJacks are similar to Lally columns, but are able to provide more support to the structure. This system is installed by attaching steel support beams to the floor joists and a sturdy base at the floor. Once all posts are installed, they are adjusted to raise the floors to a level position. A total of six SmartJacks were installed.

The floors in the home were instantly leveled and supported. This homeowner now has peace of mind that the structure of her home is strong and stable.

A homeowner in Salem, New Hampshire has encountered water intrusion in their garage, with up to three inches accumulating on the floor, jeopardizing stored items. In search of a lasting solution to keep the garage dry, they contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our System Design Specialist recommended the installation of WaterGuard perimeter drainage and a TripleSafe sump pump. WaterGuard has been installed around the garage's perimeter to collect water and channel it to the sump pump basin. The water, once collected in the sump basin, is expelled through an exterior discharge line. To prevent freezing and subsequent backups that could lead to flooding, IceGuard was added to the discharge line. This new waterproofing system takes the place of an older sump pump that failed to capture water effectively. The TripleSafe sump pump system features three pumps: a primary, a secondary, and a battery-operated backup pump, ensuring continuous operation and water removal, even during power outages.

The homeowner can now rest assured that their personal belongings are secure, and the concern over the tedious cleanup process is eliminated.
