Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Wakefield, Massachusetts was experiencing bouncy and unlevel floors. The wooden Lally columns in their basement began cracking and splitting, causing concern. Looking for peace of mind, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our Design Specialist, Debra Rayborn, recommended installing SmartJacks to stabilize the floor and support the home. Our SmartJacks provide more stability than Lally columns, especially wooden ones, due to the galvanized steel plate and beam. Since they are also adjustable, we ensure that this is a permanent solution!

With the 5 SmartJacks installed, the floors are now stabilized, level, and no longer bouncy.

In Wakefield, MA, our team tackled an environment where mold had found a foothold due to a failing moisture barrier in the crawl space. This not only created musty odors but also led to insulation falling from the joists. Erickson Foundation Solutions helped transform this crawl space by strategically installing SilverGlo, Drainage Matting, TerraBlock, and CleanSpace. These solutions provided a comprehensive moisture-proof barrier and insulation system, substantially enhancing air quality by reducing humidity and eliminating mold support, as visibly demonstrated in the attached after photo.

When a Newton, NH homeowner noticed rising water levels in their basement, fear of flooding became a reality, pushing them to seek a solution. As you can see in the before photo, they struggled with a failing sump pump inadequate for keeping the area dry. Our team at Erickson Foundation Solutions sprang into action, replacing it with a high-capacity SuperSump and IceGuard system to outsmart freezing and blockages, ensuring a dry basement throughout the year. The transformation is clear in the after photo – a secure and dry space ready to withstand anything. Through this, we've not only solved a problem but also restored peace of mind, showcasing our commitment to providing a remarkable customer experience and reliable, long-lasting solutions.

This storage area in the basement of a Charlestown, MA property was dirty and uninviting. Our team encapsulated the floors and walls with CleanSpace vapor barrier, allowing the owner to get more use of the space.

The basement area of this condo unit in Charlestown, MA had a number of old wooden columns supporting the floor above. Over the years, temporary adjustable jacks were also  installed to help with the sagging floors, but this was not a permanent solution. Our team installed 3 SmartJacks to replace the failing columns. The SmartJacks are engineered to withstand the weight of the entire structure above, and will prevent any further floors or beams from sagging.
