Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Somersworth, Massachusetts, had some cracks in their foundation that they are concerned about. One year ago the home had the main beam replaced, and since then they have seen cracks in the foundation. Our team installed PowerBraces and SmartJacks into the basement to add support to the home. 

A homeowner in Somersworth, New Hampshire, had water seeping into their basement. They had seen water seeping into their basement for 30 years but it has gotten much worse this year. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist recommended installing a perimeter drainage system into their basement to collect any water that threatened to enter and pump it out of the home. 

The owner of this old barn in Somersworth, NH knew they had to take action to save the old fieldstone foundation from crumbling, as well as repair the sagging floor joist system. Our team of specialists proposed and designed solutions for both concerns and permanently fixed the problems for the owner. 

For the collapsing stone and brick foundation walls around the perimeter, our team supported them with an auxiliary, poured concrete wall system, complete with reinforced steel and rebar components. When it comes to field stone foundations, a lot of times this is the only solution that does not involve completely lifting the structure and pouring new foundation all together. 

Once the old foundation walls were stabilized, our crew then replaced the failing lally column supports throughout the crawlspace area with our steel SmartJack supports. These new columns have large steel bases installed over large concrete or engineered fill footings, ensuring the weight load is properly distributed, as well as removing the chance for further settlement. 

This property owner now has peace of mind knowing their old barn has a solid foundation, allowing them to preserve the structure above and keep it standing for years to come.

In Somersworth, NH, a homeowner faced challenges with fieldstone foundation walls occasionally leaking, especially troubling after the basement dehumidifier failed, leading to puddles and condensation. Notice in the before photo how moisture threatened the integrity of the space. We provided a permanent solution by installing our WaterGuard system, channeling water to the SuperSump to maintain a dry environment, as seen in the after photo. IceGuard provides additional discharge security, while the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier ensures optimal humidity. This comprehensive approach leaves the basement clean and dry throughout the year.

Concerned by a 3-inch slope in their concrete pool deck away from the pool, a homeowner in South Weymouth, MA sought our expertise. The issue raised potential safety hazards and compromised the deck’s functionality. As you can see in the before photo, our team brought stability back to the deck using our PolyLevel® system. This precision-engineered solution lifted the slab, restoring its intended position. Afterward, we applied NexusPro® Joint Sealant to secure the surface against future erosion, providing a resilient, lasting result visible in the after photo.
