Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Salem, MA noticed sinking and sagging floors in his home. Looking to permanently stabilize the floors and provide support to the home, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our Design Specialist, Kenneth Calabrese, recommended installing SmartJacks in the basement. These SmartJacks are similar to Lally columns, while offering more support and providing permanent stability. Typically, these SmartJacks are cemented into the foundation. Since the basement floor was composed of pebbles, the SmartJack steel plates were buried in them. This allows for the SmartJacks to be cemented into the foundation if/when the homeowner has a concrete slab poured.

With the installation of these 5 SmartJacks, the floors are now stabilized and level.

A homeowner in Salem, MA recently detected radon gas levels of 5 pCi/L in their home, surpassing the Environmental Protection Agency’s recommended threshold for installing a radon mitigation system. Radon, a hazardous gas originating from the soil beneath a home’s foundation, can infiltrate basements and pose serious health risks, including respiratory issues and lung cancer. Concerned for their family’s well-being, especially given the significant time spent in their finished basement, the homeowner reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions. We promptly installed a radon mitigation system and sealed all cracks and cold joints, effectively preventing radon intrusion. Now, the homeowner can have peace of mind knowing their family is safeguarded from the dangers of radon gas.
