Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

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.

Before water woes could rain on this Gloucester homeowner's parade, we stepped in with a robust solution. As you can see in the 'before' photo, the basement's old sump pump struggled, letting water breach near the bulkhead entrance during storms—posing a threat to utilities. Enter our dynamic duo, the WaterGuard and TripleSafe Sump Pump system, showcased in the 'after' photo. These installations now divert unwanted water with ease, preserving the basement’s utility and the homeowner's peace of mind.

Facing the chill of Gloucester, MA, a homeowner struggled with cold, damp floors due to their crawl space's harsh conditions. In seeking a remedy, they turned to us. As you can see in the poignant before photo, the space was unwelcoming. But, notice in the after photo how significantly it's been transformed. Our team installed SilverGlow insulation and CleanSpace liner, effectively sealing off dampness and insulating the area. The result? A warmer, dryer foundation that promises comfort and energy-efficiency year-round.

Witness the transformation in Gloucester, MA - where water entering through every cold joint turned a basement from a flood zone to dry haven! As you can see in the before photo, water wreaked havoc, previously pooling up to a foot! The after shot? A testament to Erickson Foundation Solutions' commitment. We employed the WaterGuard and TripleSafe Sump Pump, backed by IceGuard and SaniDry XP Dehumidifier, to encapsulate a now serene, moisture-free basement. This is home improvement where peace of mind meets unmatched reliability.
