Foundation Problems Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Hampton, New Hampshire, encountered cracks in their foundation walls and floor, leading to water infiltration during heavy rains and resulting in a tedious cleanup process. To ensure a permanently dry basement, the homeowner sought assistance from Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our Design Specialist, Debra Rayborn, recommended installing FlexiSpan and NexusPro to seal cracks and waterproof the basement. The FlexiSpan wall crack repair system is a three-step process starting with the application of a pliable sealant across the entire length of the crack. Subsequently, a strip of porous, flexible foam is placed over the crack. The final step involves attaching an impermeable membrane to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. This robust treatment ensures that any water seeping through the crack in the future will discreetly travel down the wall and into the basement's perimeter drainage system. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant designed for joints and cracks, offering enduring flexibility and resilience against severe weather conditions. It was installed to the floor cracks to prevent water seepage.

This crack repair treatment, in conjunction with the homeowner's current sump pump system, will ensure the basement remains dry at all times, providing the homeowner with peace of mind.

A homeowner in Hampton, New Hampshire, had some beams that were sagging in their basement. The homeowner called EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist inspected the basement and recommended installing SmartJacks in the basement to eliminate the sag in the main beams. Our installation team installed 4 SmartJacks under the two main beams in the basement. The team used the adjustable tops of the SmartJacks to lift the floor until it was level. 

This home on a crawlspace foundation in Hampton, NH was dealing with sagging floors. There were temporary bricks and old beams supporting the entire structure. SmartJacks were installed to replace these failing supports and provide something more stable and permanent.

This homeowner in Hampton, New Hampshire, had a sunroom attached to the back of their home that had begun to settle a few years ago. The homeowners decided they needed to have someone look at the sonotubes. Our Design Specialist looked at the supports and recommended installing Helical Piers to replace the old supports.
