Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Facing a damp and outdated basement in Georgetown, MA, a homeowner turned to us for help. As you can see in the 'before' photo, the lack of insulation around the foundation walls left the basement space cold and dreary. Enter Foamax – our innovative solution not just to insulate but also to rejuvenate basements. Notice in the 'after' photo how neatly Foamax is installed, surrounding the electric panel, transforming the space into a dry, efficient, and brighter area. By tackling this issue, we ensured the homeowner's comfort and peace of mind, perfectly aligning with our mission to deliver not only outstanding results but also a remarkable customer experience.

In the before photo, notice the Revere, MA crawl space with inadequate insulation and persistent moisture issues. This led to discomfort and energy inefficiency for the homeowners. Our team at Erickson Foundation Solutions addressed these concerns with a tailored approach. We installed SilverGlo Crawl Space Wall Insulation to ensure optimal thermal efficiency and prevent moisture intrusion. Coupled with CleanSpace Drainage Matting and CleanSpace encapsulation system, we redirected water away and added durable insulation. The after photo illustrates our permanent solution in action: a dry, energy-efficient, properly insulated crawl space.

A homeowner in Amesbury, Massachusetts, had a musty odor coming from their crawlspace and wanted to find a solution for it. The homeowners called EFS for a free inspection of their crawlspace. Our Design Specialist looked at the space and recommended installing CleanSpace, Drainage Matting, PolyLevel Wall Restoration, and a SaniDry Sedona into the crawlspace to fully encapsulate the space and eliminate the odors. 

A homeowner in Durham, New Hampshire had been experiencing sinking and uneven floors. With concern that the situation could worsen, they reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions for a permanent solution.

One of our Design Specialists came out to conduct a free inspection of the home. Upon completion of the inspection, our Design Specialist recommended installing SmartJacks. SmartJacks are similar to Lally columns, but are able to provide better support to the home, and are also adjustable. The SmartJacks are installed by inserting a galvanized steel plate into the foundation on top of a sturdy base of crushed stone. Then, the steel post is attached to the plate, and also connected to a supplemental support beam. The system is then cemented in place.

With the system in place, the proper support is given to the home. This levels out floors and eliminates the bouncy feeling in floorboards. This homeowner can now have peace of mind that his floors are permanently stabilized!

By addressing the problem at its root, we ensured a healthier home environment and peace in the homeowner’s mind.
