Expert Concrete Leveling & Concrete Sealing Company in Needham Heights, MA

Recently, in Needham, MA, we encountered a homeowner faced with a big challenge that many desire to avoid - a basement that couldn't be finished due to a failing sump pump. Understandably, like most homeowners, they dreamt of transforming their basement into a livable, functional space rather than just a storage dump. Worried that their dream wouldn't materialize because of water issues, they reached out to us, hoping that Erickson Foundation Solutions could provide a breakthrough solution.

The journey toward a solution began with our Customer Care team setting up an appointment for a home inspection. Our System Design Specialist Kenneth Calabrese then rigorously inspected their basement, identifying not just a defective sump pump but also the imminent threat of moisture damage to the basement's foundational elements. We proposed a combination of our top-notch solutions: WaterGuard for efficiently managing perimeter drainage, CleanSpace for wall protection, and our reliable TripleSafe Sump Pump to guarantee that not even a single drop creates havoc. Furthermore, we added IceGuard to the mix, ensuring functionality even in the coldest Needham winters. Our production team, precise and meticulous, set about creating a safer and dry basement. Removing the old sump, they installed our recommended solutions, artfully integrating them into the existing basement structure, preserving both aesthetics and structural integrity. Beyond our expert installation, we ensured the site was spotless upon our departure, fostering ultimate satisfaction.

What we left behind was more than a mere dry basement; we instilled confidence and peace of mind in the homeowners, offering a blank canvas to finally achieve their dream basement transformation. This story stands as a testament to how Erickson Foundation Solutions turns dilemmas into opportunities for home improvement and rejuvenation.

Concrete settles when the soil beneath it shifts or sinks and is no longer providing a stable base for the slab. That's exactly what happened to the garage slab on this home in Needham Heights, MA. The detached garage was used for storage over the years, and the owner first saw cracks and early signs of settlement several years ago. As the problem got noticeably worse, he knew it was time to find a solution to the settlement issue before it collapsed or lead to more substantial costs for repairs. 

Upon inspection, our team determined PolyLevel would be an ideal solution for the homeowner to lift and stabilize his sinking concrete garage floor. While the concrete itself was old and uneven, once lifted and properly stabilized, it would still be in good condition and functional. By repairing the slab in this manner, the homeowner was able to save on the costs of total replacement and pouring of a new slab. 

Installation of the polymer foam took just a day to complete, our team expertly pinpointing where to inject the material to ensure the entire concrete slab was stabilized and lifted as needed. The homeowner was very pleased with the results, glad to have an even slab once again. The cracks and joints were then all sealed with NexusPro, a silicone based caulking designed specifically for concrete applications, With the repairs complete, the owner had peace of mind his garage was in good shape and was able to continue to use his space.
