Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Alex M. of North Reading was experiencing settling that was affecting the front door and steps of his home. Alex called EFS to see if they could help with the settling of his home. Design Specialist Chuck Hallas of EFS came out of the home and inspected the area of concern. Chuck concluded that the home could use some Push Piers to stabilize the part of the foundation that is settling. 

Jon Provost and Spencer Ladd came to the home and dug out a section of dirt near the stairs to exposed the footing of the foundation. Once they found the footing they attached a Push Pier mount to the footing and started pushing rods down until they hit bedrock or a sustainable press to hold the home.

This homeowner in North Reading, Massachusetts was experiencing a crack in their basement start to leak. The crack was sealed previously. When the homeowners first moved into their home 8 years ago, a crack was visible in the basement. The crack is leaking again and they need to seal it. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Stephen Caron inspected the home.  As he walked into the basement he noticed the crack on the wall. Stephen examined the crack and recommended resealing the crack and then installing FlexiSpan over the sealed crack.

The crew began sealing the crack and then began installing the FlexiSpan. FlexiSpan is a product that is a permanent solution to keeping wall cracks dry. Before applying FlexiSpan, the crew seals the crack using crack injection. Then they put a coat of FlexiSpan open-cell foam sealant over the sealed crack. On top of the special sealant, they then installed the FlexiSpan. This method will seal the crack but, if the crack does leak again the FlexiSpan will act as a channel and guide the water to a draining point at the floor where it is connected to WaterGuard or Catus Board.

Our Design Specialist recommended installing 3 Push Piers to the interior of the garage so they could stabilize the foundation and prevent further settlement.
