Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Hillsborough, New Hampshire had been experiencing sinking floors in their home. In an attempt to support the structure, the homeowners put concrete blocks under the support beam. This unconventional technique did not work, so they turned to Erickson Foundation Solutions for a professional and permanent solution.

After a thorough inspection, Design Specialist Jason Vachon recommended installing SmartJacks and encapsulating the crawl space with CleanSpace. This proposal would uplift and stabilize the home, while also providing a dry crawl space. Our installation crew started by putting the SmartJacks in place. This consisted of placing the steel plates on crushed stone to create a sturdy base, attaching the steel beams to those plates, and then attaching those beams to the supplemental support beam that was installed and leveled. With the SmartJacks in place, the team could then move forward with encapsulating the crawl space with CleanSpace. This vapor barrier was applied to the entire crawl space. Finally, our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was put in place.

This solution by our team delivers stability to the entire home and a dry and insulated crawl space. The benefits of these features include leveled floors, protection from insects and critters, a comfortable living space, and better air quality. The homeowner really enjoyed the result.

In North Sutton, NH, a concerned homeowner detected troubling odors and moisture in their crawl space shortly after moving in. This typical issue, as seen in the before photo, often leads to complications such as mold and increased energy expenses. We implemented our CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system to tackle these problems effectively. With its durable 20-mil liner designed to combat mold and mildew, CleanSpace significantly improves indoor air quality. Our innovative system ensures this home now rests on a clean, dry, and healthy foundation, resolving pre-existing odors and moisture issues efficiently.

In Charlton, MA, concerns about a sinking pool deck prompted a call to us for long-term preservation. Initially, a section of the deck showed signs of sinking and crack formation. As shown in the before photo, immediate attention was essential to prevent further damage. Our solution involved using the PolyLevel system to effectively lift and level the affected slab. Complete stabilization was achieved by injecting high-strength foam. We sealed the troubling cracks with NexusPro for durable protection and applied SealantPro to shield from future water and chemical damage, ensuring lasting integrity of the pool area.

The potential buyers of a home in Bennington, New Hampshire, are to have the home inspected for potential issues. The inspector flags the barns as a potential issue. The potential buyers called Erickson Foundation Solutions about an inspection and a solution. The Design Specialist from EFS recommended installing SmartJacks to stabilize the barn. The potential buyers pursue the home and end up purchasing the property. After the home was purchased, they called EFS to schedule an installation for the SmartJacks. 

This retaining wall had several large cracks along the length of it, and was beginning to lean. The homeowner wished to permanently stabilize the wall before conditions got worse. Erickson Foundation Supportworks stabilized the wall with 12 GeoLock anchors.
