Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

These homeowners in Mirror Lake, New Hampshire recently purchased their forever home. Before further investing in other home projects, they wanted to make sure the foundation was secure and safe. This led them to reach out to our Erickson Foundations Team to schedule a free inspection.

Justin Broussard carefully inspected the basement and then consulted with the homeowners. He noticed that one of their foundation walls was bowing extremely inward and was at risk of even potentially collapsing in. For a home that was built in the 1700's, it was crucial that this home got the support it needed. Justin recommended installing our PowerBrace auxiliary foundation wall. This wall stabilizes the fieldstone foundation. The homeowners recognized the importance of the situation and scheduled an installation date.

Once our installation crew had the auxiliary wall in place and completed the job, they had a walkthrough with the homeowners to go over the work that was done. The homeowners were very happy with the job knowing that their forever home is now supported by a strong foundation.

Homeowners in Pelham, New Hampshire had recently experienced multiple basement floods once snow started melting. The previous sump pump that was installed in their home was unable to keep up with the high volume of water surrounding the foundation. With plans to finish the basement in the future, these homeowners know they had to waterproof the basement in order to protect their investment.

Design Specialist, Josh Bartholomew, recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage and a TripleSafe sump pump system. The WaterGuard system is installed around the perimeter of the basement and collects water from the wet soil surrounding the basement before being exposed to the basement walls and floor. WaterGuard then distributes that water to the TripleSafe sump pump system. The TripleSafe guarantees that unwanted water will always get pumped out of the home. The three-pump system has a pump for standard water levels, high water levels, and an emergency battery-powered backup pump.

After installing these systems, our installation crew performed a final walkthrough with the homeowners. They were extremely happy with the final result! 

A homeowner in Lowell, Massachusetts has lived in a home over 200 years old. For 10 years, he has experienced water seepage ruining his basement walls and floor. Concerned about the health of his foundation, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Design Specialist, Victor Tapia, visited the home to provide a free home inspection. Although many people consider a French Drain (an outside perimeter drainage system), Victor explained how trenching outside the exterior of the foundation wall can be harmful. With durable soil being removed from along the foundation walls, the structural integrity is at risk, especially an old cobblestone foundation. This could cause basement walls to bow, lean, and even collapse. Victor instead recommended an indoor perimeter waterproofing system. This system is composed of our WaterGuard perimeter drainage, UltraSump sump pump, and CleanSpace vapor barrier. The system collects water along the border of the foundation and distributes it to the sump pump basin. From there, the sump pump expels water safely out of the home through an exterior discharge line. The CleanSpace vapor barrier captures any additional water that seeps through the wall and filters it to the WaterGuard system. With the wall encapsulated, moisture in the basement is also alleviated.

With a little TLC, this 200-year-old chamber is turned into a beautiful dry basement!

In Dracut, MA, a sunken concrete slab in front of a storefront posed a significant trip hazard, detracting from the business's appeal (as you can see in the before photo). Our team at Erickson Foundation Solutions raised the slab back to its original position using PolyLevel injection foam and sealed the cracks with NexusPro (notice in the after photo). This not only eradicated the hazard but also revitalized the storefront's entrance, reflecting our commitment to delivering lasting, reliable solutions and a seamless customer experience.

A homeowner in Lincoln, Massachusetts, has lived in their home for the past 40 years. Years back they noticed moisture and minor seepage in their crawlspace. The problem continued for years until this year when the homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their crawlspace. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowners and talked about their concerns before the specialist inspected the crawlspace. After the inspection, our specialist recommended installing CleanSpace into the crawlspace to encapsulate the space and installing a SaniDry Sedona to control the moisture. This system will prevent water from seeping into the crawlspace and also control the moisture.
