Michael LaMalfa inspected the interior and exterior of the foundation. Michael found that the foundation wall is in stage 2 wall failure. The wall has long horizontal cracks and steps cracks, which are indicators that the wall is failing. Michael recommended installing Geolock Wall Anchors on the foundation wall.

During a pre-purchase inspection, the home inspector for the home buyers tested the home for radon. The levels in the home were 52 pCi/L. The previous homeowner had lived in the home for 35 years and had no idea the radon levels were as high as they were.

Before moving into the home the new homeowner called Erickson Foundation Solutions for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Stephen Caron inspected the home and determined 2 extraction points would be a minimum requirement to lower the high radon levels. But he recommended installing 4 total extraction points to ensure the radon levels are mitigated to a healthy level. The homeowner decided to start with 2 extraction points instead of 4, and agreed to upgrade to 4 extraction points if radon levels were still high after several months.

Crew Lead Dillon Kingsbury and his team installed two radon systems with the designed two extraction points. The mitigation system was designed to extract from both sides of the home.

Brian had found some water intrusion from the left foundation wall, so he recommended installing UltraSump, IceGuard, and FlexiSpan in the basement. 

Our production team began by digging the basin for the UltraSump. After the Ultra Sump basin was dug and installed, the team fed the drainage line to the exterior of the home. They connected an IceGuard to the drainage line to prevent water from backing up into the basement. Finally, the team used FlexiSpan to seal a crack on the foundation wall that allowed water to come into the basement. 

The team stopped water from entering the home and the buyer completed the purchasing process. 

A homeowner in Moultonborough, New Hampshire, built their home a little over a year ago. The homeowner owns homes in the past that had higher than recommended radon levels.

The results from the CRM test were 11.2 pCi/L. Our design specialist Jason recommended installing a radon mitigation system.

Our production team began by chipping out an extraction point in the basement. The team chipped out a small section of concrete to attach a PVC pipe to the extraction point. Next, the team fed PVC pipe to the exterior of the home where they can install the radon fan. The team installed the radon fan onto the exterior of the home. After the radon fan was installed the team added more PVC pipe to the fan to vent the system above the roofline of the home.

A homeowner in Center Ossipee, New Hampshire, had used this home as their second home since the 1970s but now they wanted to use it as their primary residence. To prepare for living in Center Ossipee full time the homeowners decided to have the home tested for radon. The homeowner placed a 24/7 radon monitoring system into the home to test the radon levels. The radon levels in the home were tested for 48 hours and the results came back with radon levels around 37 pCi/L, which was high. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a radon inspection, and our design specialist recommended installing a radon mitigation system with 2 extraction points. 

The production team began by creating the two extraction points in the basement, one in the northeast corner and the other in the southwest corner located in the utility room. The team chipped out a small section of the concrete floor to create the extraction point. The team connected PVC to each extraction point and then connected each extraction point together to lead to the radon fan. The radon fan was installed in the southwest corner of the home.

The homeowner is very happy with the results of the radon system being installed. The homeowners no longer have to worry about high radon levels in their home. 

A homeowner in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, had the purchase of their new home under contract but wanted to have an eyesore addressed before they moved in. The whole home was in immaculate condition except for the garage floor. The garage had cracks all over and had become an eyesore. The homeowner called EFS because of our expertise in concrete repair and our design specialist recommended installing our 3-part concrete protection system.

Our production team began by injecting PolyLevel under the slab in the garage to fill any void. Once the team ensured that the void (if any) was filled, they then seal all of the cracks in the concrete with NexusPro. The team injected NexusPro into the cracks and smoothed it with a "spoon". After the NexusPro was installed the team then began spraying the concrete with SealantPro. SealantPro is a clear liquid that is sprayed over the surface of the concrete to protect the surface of the concrete from staining and accelerated erosion. 

The homeowner was very happy with the results of the project. They no longer have to worry about the garage being an eyesore for the home.

This homeowner in Sanbornville, NH was concerned with a stream of water entering his basement through some cracks and holes. The water was mainly leaking in through some holes where pool lines and irrigation lines exited the basement to the exterior of the house. The main goal of the project was to seal up these points in the foundation wall so that moisture would no longer be an issue in the basement. In the same vicinity as those water lines, water was also entering the basement through a crack in the foundation wall, right at a corner wall joint. Our waterproofing team sealed up all the necessary sections, holes, and cracks, with FlexiSpan and polymer injections, which will prevent any further water from entering in these locations. The homeowner was pleased with the results and happy with the way the crew cleaned up the work area.

A homeowner in Sanbornville, New Hampshire, had lived in the house for the past 2-1/2 years with little to no issues. That was until 2 days until Christmas 2022 when water started coming into their basement from the feed to their swimming pool. The homeowners decided to call EFS and our Design Specialist Jason recommended sealing around the pool feed using crack injection. Jason also found a crack near the pool feed line that could allow water into the basement. So he recommended sealing that crack as well. 

Our production team installed about 10' worth of crack injection around the feed line and the foundation crack to prevent water from entering the basement. 

The homeowner was very pleased with the entire process of the project. The team was able to install the crack injection into the basement and prevent water from entering the basement. 

A homeowner in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, purchased their 1940s home 4 years ago. This past August the homeowners noticed sagging on their main floor. Then reached out to EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist Jason recommended installing SmartJacks to lift and add supports to the floors. The crawlspace under the floors was only about a foot tall so our team had requested the homeowners remove the floors before our arrival. 

Our team began by marking where each of the SmartJacks will be installed. We then removed and leveled the dirt where each SJ will be installed. The team made sure each footing was leveled before installing the SmartJacks. The team used a supplemental beam to add support across the floor joists so we could lift and level the floor. Our SmartJacks have an adjustable top so we can lift or drop the floor if needed. To finish the job our team lifted and leveled the floor, and then we installed subfloor plywood over the floor joists. 

The homeowner was very happy with the project. They were very impressed with the stability of the floor and how the SmartJacks were adjustable.
