Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, moved into their home last October. The previous homeowners noted before they sold the home that there was a crack in the foundation wall behind the garage. The new homeowner decided they wanted to fix the issues before they got any worse so they called EFS for a free inspection of their foundation. Our Design Specialist inspected the entire foundation and recommended installing 3 Geolocks onto the back wall of the garage foundation to straighten and stabilize the foundation wall. 

A homeowner in Fitchburg, Massachusetts had concerns regarding her constantly wet basement. Her existing sump pump failing had led to ankle-deep water puddling in corners of the basement and mold growth. With the homeowner's daughter being allergic to mold, it was essential to waterproof the basement.

Our Design Specialist, Mark Proctor, recommended installing our TripleSafe sump pump system. Unlike other sump systems, the TripleSafe is composed of three pumps. When water gets filtered to the sump basin, the first pump is activated to dispose of the unwanted water. When water levels rise, which can occur during heavy rains or snow melting, the second pump is activated to ensure the sump basin doesn't overflow. Lastly, a battery-powered backup pump adds an extra layer of protection in the event of emergency such as a power outage. Additionally, our installation crew installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This eliminates moisture in the basement, promoting healthy air quality by removing mold spores and other toxins.

With our basement waterproofing systems installed, mold is subdued, and the basement stays dry all the time!

In Fitchburg, MA, a homeowner faced safety concerns with a cracked and unlevel walkway, visible in the initial photo. Our professional team at Erickson Foundation Solutions remedied the issues using PolyLevel® and NexusPro®. The PolyLevel® system efficiently stabilized, lifted, and leveled the slabs, making the surface secure. Then, with the application of NexusPro® Joint Sealant, we sealed all joints and cracks, preventing moisture infiltration and soil erosion. The visible transformation in the after photo highlights our expertise in concrete repair, ensuring a safe environment as clients age.

Before and after look at a foundation wall crack. The crack was behind a finished wall in the home's basement, so drywall needed to be removed in order to access the crack. The foundation crack was sealed with a polyurethane injection, a foam material that quickly expands within the crack and effectively seals it all the way through. On the surface of the crack, an waterproof epoxy, NexusPro, is applied to further protect against seeping water.
