Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Groton, MA contacted us after discovering radon levels of 15 picocuries in their home, significantly above the Environmental Protection Agency’s recommended limit of 4 picocuries. Radon is a harmful gas that can accumulate in the soil beneath a home’s foundation and seep inside, posing serious respiratory health risks over time.

To address this issue, we installed a radon mitigation system. We began by creating two extraction points in the basement floor and fitting PVC pipes to these points, directing them to the exterior of the home. A radon mitigation fan was then installed on the side of the house. This system is designed to draw radon from the soil beneath the home and safely vent it outside, preventing it from entering the living space. Additional PVC piping was extended from the radon fan to surpass the roofline, ensuring the radon gas is released safely away from any entry points.

With the radon mitigation system now in place, the homeowner can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that their long-term health is protected from the dangers of radon exposure.

In Groton, MA, the homeowner reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions with concerns about a sagging floor above their basement. Left unaddressed, this issue could lead to more severe damage or settlement. To stabilize the area, we installed our SmartJack System to the newly added main beam supplemental beam. In the after photo, notice how the system’s galvanized steel columns successfully uplift the structure towards its original level. This reliable upgrade ensures the homeowner enjoys robust floors without the worry of future instability.

In Merrimack, NH, a homeowner faced a significant vertical wall crack in their cement block foundation, as clearly seen in the before photo. This crack risked compromising the structural stability of their home. By implementing our advanced PowerBrace™ System, we permanently stabilized the affected wall. The after photo illustrates the effective placement of zinc-plated steel beams, securely anchored from floor to framing. This tailored solution ensures that there is no further inward movement, enhancing the long-term integrity of the foundation without needing extensive drilling or digging.

In Groton, MA, the homeowner aimed to boost property value before sale, but the existing lally columns in the basement were ineffective at supporting the floors. As shown in the before photo, this caused structural concerns, potentially impacting the home's overall worth. Erickson Foundation Solutions expertly resolved this by installing our SmartJack® System. Notice in the after photo how this system efficiently stabilized the floor joists, addressing the weak lally column issue and promoting stability and confidence in the home’s foundation for potential buyers.
