Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A new homeowner in Gloucester, Massachusetts, had purchased their home and had lots of plans to renovate. The first item on their list was to encapsulate their concrete crawlspace. The homeowner had found that groundwater was collecting on the floor in the crawlspace. Our team installed Drainage Matting, CleanSpace, and a SmartSump into the crawlspace to create a moisture barrier and expel any water that collects on the floor.

A homeowner in Gloucester, Massachusetts, had recently installed a radon system in their home. Since the system was installed the team noticed that their sump pump hadn't been working. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our design specialist recommended installing a TripleSafe, TimeMachine, IceGuard, and Exterior Drainage Line into the basement. 

A homeowner in Gloucester, Massachusetts, had questioned the air quality and humidity in their basement. They reached out to EFS for the service of their existing SaniDry Sedona. Our Service Technician Justin performed the annual service on the SaniDry but had a conversation with the homeowner revealing that they were concerned with the air quality in their home. After a conversation with the homeowner, Justin recommended an ERV system to the homeowner to improve the air quality in their basement. 

A homeowner in Gloucester, Massachusetts, has lived in their home for the past 50 years and since they moved in they have had moisture in their basement. They have noticed insulation falling and moisture collecting in their basement. One of the homeowners recently had covid and has become sensitive to the quality of air. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our design specialist recommended installing Foamax and a SaniDry dehumidifier. 

Our team installed Foamax against the wall where the moisture was collecting and then they installed a SaniDry in the basement to control the moisture in the air. 

A homeowner in Gloucester, Massachusetts became concerned about the radon levels in their home following an understanding of basement systems. The radon test results indicated levels between 6-9 pCi/L, exceeding the EPA's recommended action level of 4 pCi/L. In an effort to reduce the radon levels, they contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our Design Specialist, Tom Armano, recommended installing a radon mitigation system with a fan moisture guard and exterior aesthetic package. The installation team initiated the process by creating an extraction point through a small circular opening in the basement concrete floor for the radon mitigation system. A radon pipe was then affixed to this point and extended to the home's exterior, where the radon fan was mounted on the side. Additional piping from the fan was routed alongside the house, extending above the roof to prevent radon re-entry. After testing the fan for operational integrity, the team provided the homeowners with a charcoal test kit to reassess the radon levels after approximately one week.

With the proper precautions now taken, this homeowner has peace of mind that his home is safe from radon.
