Erickson Foundation Solutions serving Belmont, NH

Recently, a homeowner in Belmont, NH reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions with a troubling issue: water was seeping into their finished basement area from an unfinished section. They were understandably concerned about the potential damage to their property and belongings.

Recognizing the need for a permanent solution, our Customer Care Specialist promptly arranged a home inspection. Upon evaluation, our System Design Specialist diagnosed the root cause of the seepage and proposed an effective remediation plan. The homeowner was recommended a comprehensive system comprising three key products: WaterGuard, SuperSump, and IceGuard, each expertly designed to combat basement water problems. Our production team, led by experienced foreman Anthony LoCascio, then arrived on site to implement the solution. We began by installing the WaterGuard system, setting it discreetly around the perimeter, beneath the basement floor and above the footing. This subfloor drainage system effectively captures water seepage before it hits the floor, channeling it directly to the sump pump. Next, we introduced the SuperSump system, a robust and efficient sump pump designed for high-volume water evacuation. With its cast iron pump and built-in alarm, the SuperSump ensures reliable protection against possible basement flooding. Finally, our team installed IceGuard on the exterior. This innovative discharge line system safeguards against freezing and blockages, automatically allowing water escape during the harsh New Hampshire winters.

The outcome was a noticeably drier basement, transforming it into a space that the homeowner could utilize confidently. With our professional approach and reliable products, the home's valuable living area was preserved and stay protected from future water intrusion.

In Belmont, NH, a homeowner was increasingly concerned about their lake house's foundation. Sloping floors and growing cracks on the walls and ceiling signaled an underlying issue. Recognizing the importance of a solid foundation, the homeowner reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions in search of a permanent and reliable solution.

Our process began with a prompt response from our Customer Care Specialist, who scheduled a detailed inspection. During the inspection, our System Design Specialist Bryan Barnard conducted a thorough assessment, diagnosing the home's foundational instability issues. The examination revealed that shifting and settling soils had compromised the foundation, thus necessitating intervention. To address these challenges, we recommended the installation of our Helical Pier system—renowned for its effectiveness in stabilizing and potentially lifting homes back to their original positions. Our professional production team, skilled in precision installation, undertook the task. They strategically placed engineered steel piers into the soil adjacent to the foundation. Each pier was expertly drilled to reach substantial depths, ensuring the load-bearing soil could accommodate the home's weight. Once set, these piers were affixed to the foundation using durable steel brackets, effectively transferring the weight of the home from the unstable soil to resilient, stable earth layers.

Post-installation, the homeowner observed an immediate difference. The lake house’s foundation was not only stabilized but in parts, restored close to its initial alignment. This intervention effectively arrested further settlement, secured structural integrity, and offered the homeowner renewed peace of mind and long-term property value. Through exemplifying our commitment to exceptional service, we proved once again why homeowners entrust Erickson Foundation Solutions with their most valued assets.

Wendy and Evan, who had just moved into their new home in Belmont, New Hampshire, were immediately concerned about the radon gas levels. Their home's radon test revealed a level of 9.1 pCi/L, which is more than double the federal safety limit of 4.0 pCi/L. As a young family intending to use their basement as an office and workout area, ensuring a radon-safe environment was a priority. They sought a reputable company with a track record of quality and positive feedback and decided to contact Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our Customer Care team arranged for Jason Vachon, our experienced System Design Specialist, to meet with homeowners Wendy and Evan. Following a complimentary home inspection, Jason identified the optimal location and method for installing the radon mitigation system and provided a quote the same day. Impressed by Jason's demonstration of the installation process and the system's advantages, the homeowners decided to proceed with the installation. On the day of installation, our crew met with the owners for a walkthrough of the project's steps. The installation began with drilling a 3-inch hole in the foundation to establish a radon suction point. PVC piping was then connected to this point, extending to the home's exterior where the radon fan would be mounted. After securing the fan to the home's exterior, additional PVC piping was installed to extend the vent above the roofline. With the system fully installed, it is now capable of extracting radon-laden air from beneath the house, channeling it through the piping, and safely releasing it above the home.

Parents who were once justifiably concerned about raising a family in an environment contaminated by harmful gas can now rest assured that their basement and the entire home are secure. They can now utilize their basement space with confidence and tranquility.
