This homeowner in Concord, Massachusetts had some concerns with the back wall of their garage as it was cracked and bowing out. They called Erickson to find a permanent fix to these issues. Design specialist John Prince proposed Geolock wall anchors to stabilize the wall. Crew lead Josh Provost and his team installed the Geolocks and the wall is no longer at risk of bowing or failing. There are also cover plates over the Geolocks to be a bit more appealing to the eye on the outside of the house in that location.

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.

This homeowner in Arlington, Massachusetts needed a Radon Mitigation System. They had gotten a radon test done in 2003 and the levels came back at 14 and 16 pCi/l. The pCi/l should be around 4.0 or below.

Erickson Foundation Supportworks, Design Specialist John Prince, was able to come to the homeowner's house and design a radon system for them. After designing a radon system, a team lead, Scott Crandall comes in with their team and installed the radon system in the home. Post-installation, the team checks that everything is working as it should and double-checks that the radon levels have lowered to below 4.0 pCi/l. 

The pictures show what the exterior of the house looked like before and after the radon system was installed. 

Now that the homeowner has their radon levels back to normal they are now able to do further work in their basement.

Before and after view of a crack seal application in Winchester, Massachusetts. The crack was sealed with a polyurethane foam, which expands and reaches deep into the crack, ensuring it is thoroughly sealed. The surface of the crack is patched with an epoxy sealant called NexusPro. Quick and clean application, this homeowner no longer needs to worry about water seeping in through this crack.

There was also a crack monitor installed over the crack. Should the crack ever grow in size, this device helps monitor the action and track the movement. Such movement usually means the foundation is sinking and settling.

The bump addition on this home in New Boston was settling over time. It was supported by 3 concrete pillars, all of which had failed and were sinking. Our team proposed and installed 3 EZ Post helical piles to replace the concrete pillars. The EZ posts are permanent and will not settle.

With these added features, the wall is now permanently stabilized and won't ever move again.
