Foundation Repair & Radon Mitigation Company Serving Rockingham County, NH

This homeowner in Derry, NH contacted us as she noticed a large crack in her garage wall near a corner. Upon inspection, our design specialist observed there were few signs of settling within the house aside from windows being slightly stuck. However, on the outside of the garage, there were significant signs of sinking which would then lead to extensive damage within the home. 

The solution; push piers to raise the sinking corner 3-4 inches and prevent the foundation from sinking any further. 

We excavated the outside of the garage down to the footing of the foundation. We found the general contractor who built the home placed the footings and foundation directly on stumps and trees, which of course is a big mistake. As the trees decomposed, the ground began to sink and took the foundation with it. 

Our push piers were securely fastened to the bottom of the footings on the foundation and driven down 10-12 feet, beneath the sinking soil and into the bedrock below. This will prevent the home from sinking any further. We also slightly lifted the footing up to the bottom of the foundation to reconnect them, however chose to not lift the house too much as there was little damage within the house. Lifting the house too much could possibly have cracked the drywall.

Problem solved and customer satisfied. 

This customer was having a sunroom installed on top of their existing deck. The deck was not built for supporting a structure above, and so additional supports were needed below. There was only about 3.5 feet of space beneath the deck, and so getting underneath to dig and pour new concrete piers would not be an easy task.

EZ Posts were an ideal solution, as the existing deck floor was going to be completely covered by the sunroom. This allowed our Erickson Foundation Supportworks crew to cut small holes into the surface of the deck. Through these holes we were able to install EZ posts with our Bobcat using pier extensions.

A project which would have taken 2-3 crew members one or more days to complete was finished within 4 hours. The EZ Posts were installed at depths ranging from 7 to 9 feet. We removed some concrete pillars in order to install two of our EZ Posts, these concrete pillars being only two feet deep. It was a good decision to replace them!

Homeowner Stephen W. of Salem, New Hampshire had a beautiful pool set up in his backyard. Over the years, wear and tear ran its course, and the patio around the pool was sunken, cracked, uneven, and discolored all over. More and more, Stephen was spending time out by his pool with his family and was tired of all the trip hazards and unsightly cracks throughout the patio. He decided it was time to look into fixing the problem, and so reached out to Erickson Foundation Supportworks for a solution. Ultimately, Stephen wished to improve the quality of his family's life.

Design specialist Nate Erickson proposed a three-step process to lift and level the uneven sections of concrete, resurface the top, and protect it all with SealantPro.  

The first step involved injecting PolyLevel beneath the slab to fill the voids and level out as much of the patio as possible. Once the concrete was stable and even, the crew then sealed all the cracks, large and small. Day 2 of the project entailed resurfacing the entire pool patio area, covering up all the discolorations and imperfections. Once the new surface had time to cure, the final step was to apply SealantPro to complete the total concrete protection system. 

Replacing the existing patio would have been a lengthy, expensive undertaking. Removing the concrete and coordinating a crew and truck to pour a new slab would have taken a lot of time and effort. This was not an option for Stephen.

In the end, Stephen received his desired outcome. A new patio. The surface is now even, crack-free, and pleasant to look at. 

Barbara F. of Plaistow, NH reached out to Erickson Foundation Supportworks when she heard that some of her neighbors were having radon mitigation systems installed.

The contractor who built the home had actually installed a vent pipe during original construction. Unfortunately, it was not properly located and was in a very hard to access location in the unfinished attic space.

Senior Design Specialist, Michael LaMalfa, designed and proposed an efficient system for Barbara. The system was installed in half a day by Scott Crandall in November 2020. It was a quick, clean installation, and Barbara now has peace of mind knowing her family is no longer exposed to high levels of radon in their home. 

The owner of this property on Cobbetts Pond in Windham, New Hampshire knew when he bought the home that eventually the concrete walls of the boathouse would need to be repaired. There were visible, large cracks on the wall which faced the water. There was slight settlement, and the walls in general were shifting more and more each year. He reached out to a number of foundation repair contractors but in the end found only Erickson Foundation Supportworks had the right team and the right solution. And rather than wait for the situation to get worse, the time had come to fix it. 

Our inspection specialist David Cormier viewed the walls and designed a system utilizing 8 GeoLock wall anchors, as well as 6 Helical Piers. Together these anchors and piers would prevent the walls of the foundation from any further movement. The challenge for the production team was having to work in the frigid pond water in the late autumn months. With the right equipment and a 'can do' attitude, the crew worked diligently to install the system.

The concrete walls of this boathouse are now permanently stabilized, and the homeowner can now continue to preserve this small piece of New Hampshire history.

This homeowner in Londonderry, New Hampshire was experiencing their house settling and beginning to sink. With the issues getting worse, the homeowner called Erickson Foundation Solutions and set up a meeting with Design Specialist Paul Magowan. Paul came to the home and looked over the homeowner's concerns. He recommended installing push piers to stabilize and stop the home from sinking any further.

Crew Lead Chris Hanulek and his team came to the home to install the push piers beneath the foundation. They start by digging near the affected areas to expose the footing of the foundation. Then they create a notch on the foundation where they can attach the brackets that hold the push pier in place. Next, they use a hydraulic press to push the pier down into the ground until it hits a substantial force that the home can rest on. Although it is not guaranteed, it is not uncommon to see a house lift a couple of inches. In this case the home was slightly lifted, and permanently stabilized against any further settlement.

Miles C. of Londonderry, New Hampshire was having concerns with his homes foundation. He was experiencing sticking doors and windows, cracks in the foundation walls, sloping and sagging floors, and a cracked slabs outside.

Crew Lead Nick Melo and his team came to the home and dug down to expose the foundation footing. When they got to the footing they installed Helical Piers in the affected areas to permanently stabilize the walls. After all the piers were pressed down to their desired PSI, the crew filled the void with PolyLevel as well, a polymer based expansion foam.

Condo Association owner Ray C in Hampton, New Hampshire called Erickson about saving the foundation of his building. Design Specialist Michael LaMalfa had come to the building and examined it. Ray's building was experiencing a couple of different foundational issues, mostly caused by the marsh that the back of the building sits in. The daily movement of the water caused by the tides has left a toll on the foundation. The foundation has been pushed and pulled so many times has caused the concrete on the garage level to heave in the middle and cause uneven floors on the above levels. There is a 75' crack on the back of the building where the wall has begun to bow. Inside each of the 10 tenant's garages, there are uneven floors and cracks. 

A few different Erickson Foundation Solutions teams came to the Condo Association to repair the foundation. The first team to arrive at the condos was Spencer Ladd's Team. Spencer's team specializes in Foundation Stabilization Products. Spencer and his team installed Geolocks between the back wall and the garage floor. One end of the Geolock was placed under the garage floor and the other was placed against the crack on the back wall to stabilize the back wall. 

The second team at the job was Nick Carelli's team. Nick's team was installing Push Piers to the foundation; this is going to support and prevent it from sinking. Push Piers is a sleeve that is mounted to the footing of the foundation and once it is mounted the team will use a hydraulic press to push 3-1/2' sections of the interlocking rod down into the ground until they hit bedrock or reach an acceptable PSI to hold the foundation in place. 

The third team was Nick Melo and his concrete repair team. They specialize in lifting and leveling concrete using PolyLEVEL. They came to the property and injected PolyLEVEL into the garage floor to lift, level, and fill any voids that were created by the foundation issues. 

Lastly, Branden Edwards and his team specialize in sealing cracks. The team was able to seal the 75' crack on the back wall and was able to pour new concrete into each of the garages to repair the hole the Geolocks were installed in.

This was one of the larger jobs that EFS has done recently. The job took around 6 weeks and a couple of different crews to complete but the EFS Crew delivered what they promised, and that was a secured foundation.

Homeowner Charlie N. of Auburn, NH had a concrete patio around his pool that was first installed back in the late 1990's. Around 2013, Charlie started to see noticeable cracks and pooling water in various sections. By 2020, the concrete patio had several large cracks and sections that were unlevel. All this uneven concrete was leading to tripping and stubbed toes, as well as being generally unsightly. The problem was not going to improve on it's own, and Charlie decided to seek repair options. 

The first consideration for him was to rip out and replace. The pool itself was 20' x 40', and so the amount of demolition and new concrete needed for this type of project was substantial, and costly. This type of fix would have been very labor intensive and taken at least a week to complete. 

Charlie then also reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions regarding PolyLevel as a possible solution. PolyLevel is a polymer foam which does not disrupt the surface of the concrete or it's surroundings, and simply lifts the uneven concrete by filling the voids beneath it. Installation of PolyLevel is generally a single day process and the concrete can be walked on within 30 minutes after installation. 

Repairing the concrete with PolyLevel was going to save Charlie thousands of dollars, and so he chose this solution. 

The project estimate and design was completed by design specialist Paul Magowan, and the foreman leading the crew for the concrete repairs was Scott Crandall.

This homeowner in Salem, New Hampshire had a flood in their basement and it ruined the finished area. The basement had two sump pumps in the basement. When the water was pushed outside of the home it froze. Once the water froze in the pipe, the sump pumps couldn't push the water through the system. The water eventually backed up into the basement. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection to make sure something like this wouldn't happen again. 

Design Specialist Chris Greenwood inspected the home and the sump pumps. The sump pumps worked but had one crucial flaw, no Freeze Guard. Living in New England the weather is very hot and cold. During the summer it can hit almost 100 degrees and in the winter it can hit 0 degrees, so a system must be able to work in both extremes. Sump pumps have sections of pipe that are either laid on top of the ground or in the ground to expel the water away from the home. During the time in this pipe, depending on the temperature, the water can heat up or cool down. In freezing temperatures the water can freeze in the pipe. Freeze Guard allows water that has been blocked by a clog or frozen water in the pipe to overflow out of the pipe and not back into the basement. Chris recommended installing new sump pumps with Freeze Guard.

Crew Lead Ed Nadreau and his team came to the home and installed two Ultra Sumps and 2 Freeze Guards.

The owner of this property in Hampstead, New Hampshire has lived here for more than 25 years in a home just a couple of hundred feet from the edge of a lake. The area around the home has a high water table because of the lake being close by. While they have had a sump pump in the basement for many years to help with their wet basement, over the past couple of years the sump pump hasn't been able to keep the basement dry.  The homeowner decided to call EFS to help determine a more permanent solution to their wet basement concerns.

Our EFS waterproofing specialist found the existing sump pump was outdated and wasn't big enough to push out all of the water from the basement. It also hadn't been serviced in many years. Additionally, over the years water in the soil on the outside of the foundation walls was building up and pushing against the foundation, beginning to cause worse problems. In order to solve the problem, the homeowner needed to properly waterproof their home. Our specialist recommended installing WaterGuard, Freeze Guard, and a Super Sump Triple Safe, in the basement.

This homeowner in Atkinson, NH had a 3-season entrance porch area to their home. Beneath the subflooring, the crawlspace was very damp and moldy, causing the floor above to become spongy. Water and moisture was entering the space through the exposed dirt floor as well as the concrete walls of the crawlspace foundation.

For our inspection, it was clear to see how wet the crawlspace had become. The insulation meant to be tucked up into the floor joists was all damp and drooping down. Some of the wood joists had extensive rot damage and others were moldy. Our design specialist proposed replacing some of the damaged floor joists and supporting the entire floor system in this area with a couple SmartJacks. To prevent further water from entering the space, it was also recommended the entire crawlspace be encapsulated with CleanSpace.

A homeowner in Londonderry, New Hampshire, had mold growing in the upstairs of their home. They also have standing water and high humidity in the basement. Our design specialist examined the basement and noticed the high humidity and the standing water in the basement. After our specialist walked through the basement, they recommended installing a perimeter drainage system, a humidifier, and an air purifier in the basement. 

Our production team first chipped out a 132 linear foot trench around the perimeter of the basement to hold the WaterGuard again the foundation wall. Second, the team chipped out and dug a basin for a Tripesafe Sump Sump. The TripleSafe is placed into the basin and is connected to the perimeter drainage system to collect all of the water and send it outside of the home. On the way out of the home, the water will run through a FreezeGuard. The guard will prevent the discharge line from backing up the system if the water line freezes. Next, the team attached the CleanSpace Encapsulation to the foundation walls in the basement to funnel all water coming down the wall into the perimeter drain. Following the CleanSpace, the team installed a SaniDry dehumidifier and an Aspen Air Purifier in the basement to condition the air. 

With the waterproofing system, the dehumidifier, and the air purifier installed the home will be able to drop the relative humidity and prevent water from collecting in the basement as well as have better air quality in the home. 

A homeowner in Atkinson, New Hampshire, didn't like the cracking and settlement in their garage. They planned on staying in this home for a while and didn't want to look at the issue for the next several years. Our design specialist John examined the garage and recommended using PolyLevel to eliminate the settlement. 

Our production team first drilled 1/2" port holes in a grid pattern around the garage floor. Next, the team set up the Poly rig and began filling void by systematically injecting PolyLevel into each port hole. Our team performed a lifting procedure in some areas in the garage to lift the slab back up to its original height. Finally, after all the PolyLevel was complete the team used NexusPro to seal all of the cracks in the slab. 

The homeowner was happy the slab was returned to what they remember. 

A homeowner in Auburn, New Hampshire, had lived in this home since 2005 and started noticing in 2021 that the garage slab is sinking. Our design specialist Michael looked at the garage floor and recommended using PolyLevel to lift and level the sunk part of the slab. 

Our production team drilled 1/2" port holes in a grid pattern every couple of feet to ensure we get a consistent lift around the garage slab. The team worked their way around to each port hole filling them until they get the lift they desired to level the slab.

The team lifted and leveled the sinking slab, and made sure the homeowner was happy with the project. 

A homeowner in Plaistow, New Hampshire, had installed a pool at their home four years ago. Two years ago, they noticed the concrete around their pool started to crack. The homeowner is upset that the concrete has only lasted a couple of years before something has gone wrong. Our design specialist Brian examined the concrete around the pool and found a 4' crack near the stairs of the pool. Brian recommended installing NexusPro on all control joints and in the crack near the stairs to stop water from flowing beneath the concrete. The flow of water underneath the concrete can cause the soil to be washed away, which can cause the slab to be left unsupported. 

To ensure water doesn't travel under the concrete, our production team led by Tyler will seal all 107' feet of control joints and cracks around the pool. The NexusPro will help to guide water off the concrete so the water doesn't wash away the soil. 

A homeowner in Londonderry, New Hampshire, had a stamped concrete pool patio that is sinking. The patio had been poured at two different times and the concrete is sinking where the two batches of concrete meet. The homeowner would like to have the concrete lifted to eliminate any tripping hazards. Our design specialist Isaac examined the concrete patio and recommended installing PolyLevel to lift the stamped concrete. 

Our production team first created small port holes in the area where the concrete is sinking. The team then used PolyLevel to lift each section of concrete until they were level. After the slabs were leveled, the team used universal concrete to seal the port holes. The homeowner was happy with the results of the project. They are relieved that they don't have to worry about anyone tripping. 

A homeowner in Epping, New Hampshire, had cracking and sinking on the back corner of their home. The homeowners were the original owners of the home that was built in the mid-1990s. A couple of years ago they started to notice a sinkhole behind their home, and the sinkhole was progressively getting bigger. Not long after they noticed the sinkhole they found a crack in the foundation wall. The homeowners wanted to make sure the problem doesn't get worse so they reached out to some foundation repair companies. Our design specialist Nate examined the sinkhole and found 3/4" of settlement in the back part of the home. Nate recommended installing Interior Push Piers, PolyLevel, and Injection Crack Sealant to stabilize the foundation and prevent further settlement. 

Our team led by Matt C. started by chipping out sections of concrete at the base of the walls. After the concrete was chipped the team dug to the footing of the foundation. Once they found the footing, they chipped out some of the concrete to mount the push pier bracket to the footing. Once the three brackets were mounted to the footing the team then used a hydraulic press to push 3' sections of steel into the ground until sufficient pressure was achieved. After the Push Piers are pressurized correctly, the team filled dirt over the piers and poured concrete to replace the concrete they chipped out. As the concrete is curing the team sealed the cracks in the foundation wall using Injection Crack Sealant. The last part of the job was to install PolyLevel. Our PolyLevel team led by Nick M. installed Poly under the basement slab to fill the void under the slab in the basement. The homeowner was happy to know that their home won't settle anymore. 

A homeowner in Salem, New Hampshire, had just purchased a home and was concerned about radon. They hadn't moved into the home yet because one of the homeowners had a pre-existing condition that required them to have a radon mitigation system installed in their home. Our design specialist dropped off a Continuous Radon Monitoring (CRM) Device to test for radon in their home. The results from the test average were around 5 pCi/L with lows of 2 and highs of 10. Our design specialist recommended installing a radon mitigation system in the home. 

Our radon team installed a radon mitigation system into the home. They had begun the installation by chipping out a small section of the basement slab to install a radon pipe. The team connected the radon pipe to the radon fan and more PVC piping to vent the radon above the roofline of the home. To ensure that radon doesn't seep through the floor the homeowners were tasked with filling the oil line in the basement to seal the floor. 

The homeowners were very pleased with the installation of the radon mitigation system. The system was crucial for them to move into their new home.

A homeowner in Londonderry, New Hampshire, had a porch that was sinking more and more every year. For the past five summers, the homeowners have jacked up their porch to try and stop it from sinking. The homeowner also noticed a large void under the edge of their pool deck that they would like filled. The homeowner wanted to find a permanent solution. Our design specialist Michael Bradley recommended using EZ Posts to support the porch and PolyLevel to fill void under the pool deck. 

Our production team began by installing 5 EZ Posts to support the porch. The team removed the concrete piers from the 3 supports in the front and one support from each side. The team replaced the concrete piers with essentially a giant screw. The team used a hydraulic drive head to twist the screw into the ground until sustainable pressure is found. The EZ post is then attached to the wooden support of the porch. After the EZ post were installed, the team moved on to fill the void under the pool deck. The team used the poly spray gun to free spray the void under the pool deck. Once the poly is sprayed out of the gun it rapidly expands to several times its size filling the area it was sprayed into in no time. 

The homeowner was very happy that they don't have to do yearly maintenance on their porch anymore.

A homeowner in Exeter, New Hampshire, moved into their home 4 years ago and had made some upgrades to the home. They know that they added a significant amount of weight with the upgrades they made to the home. They reached out to EFS to see if the floor system would be able to support the weight they have added. Our design specialist Chris Greenwood recommended bolstering the floor system so the homeowners didn't have to worry about the floor system. 

Our production team installed 3 new SmartJacks into the basement. They added one near the stairs down to the basement and replaced two old lally columns with SmartJacks. The team started by chipping out a section of concrete until they reached dirt. Once the concrete is removed the team poured new concrete to make a base for the SmartJack to rest on. Once the concrete cured the team placed the SJ on the base and secured it to the beam above. After the SJ is secured, the team poured concrete over the base to lock the SmartJack into place. 

Our team installed the 3 SmartJacks into the basement of the home to strengthen the floor system. The homeowners were happy that they didn't have to worry about if the floor system was strong enough to hold the upgrade they have made. 

A homeowner in Hampton, New Hampshire, had water coming into their basement during heavy rains. The homeowners wanted to find a lasting fix so unexpected water doesn't continue to appear in the basement. Our design specialist Stephen recommended installing a small section of WaterGuard, a SuperSump, and an IceGuard in the basement.

Our WaterProofing team began by chipping out 13' of concrete along the foundation wall. This trench created by the team will hold the WaterGuard. The WaterGuard collects any water that had tried to enter the basement. In the back corner of the basement, there was an old sump pump basin that the team was going to use for the new sump pump. The team increased the size of the old sump pump basin to make room for the larger SuperSump. The SuperSump was connected to the WaterGuard System. So water will collect in the WaterGuard and that water will be guided to the SuperSump to be pumped out of the home. To pump the water out of the home the team used a core drill to create a hole in the wall. The team installed the drainage line through the hole they created with the core drill. On the outside of the home where the drainage line comes out, the team installed an IceGuard to protect from water backing up into the basement. The team then connected the rest of the drainage line into the yard so the water won't come back into the basement. 

The homeowners were happy with the waterproofing system installed in their basement. The homeowners don't have to worry about water entering their basement anymore. 

A homeowner in Windham, New Hampshire, had a pool deck that was 40 years old and was showing its age. The pool deck had become cracked and sunken since it was installed in the 1980s. The homeowners planned to use this home as their retirement home. They wanted to improve the appearance of the pool deck so they called EFS. Our design specialist Michael B. recommended installing PolyLevel and NexusPro around the pool deck to lift, level, and seal the cracks on the pool deck. 

Our production team first started by drilling small port holes in a grid pattern around the pool deck. The team used the port holes to inject PolyLevel under the pool deck. Short bursts of PolyLevel allowed the team to slowly and precisely lift each slab until they were level. After the team lifted and leveled all of the slabs around the pool, they then moved to use NexusPro to seal the joints and crack repair. The team had to use almost 500 feet of NexusPro to seal all of the joints and cracks on the pool deck.

The team was able to lift, level, and seal the pool deck to improve its appearance. The homeowner no longer has to worry about the pool deck sinking. 

A homeowner in Salem, New Hampshire, had been referred to us by a past customer. The homeowner thought they had some settlement and waterproofing issues so their friend recommended EFS. Our design specialist Chris inspected the home for settlement and waterproofing. Chris didn't find anything concerning about the foundation but the homeowner also wanted to address water entering their basement, so Chris recommended installing WaterGuard and a TripleSafe. 

Our production team began by chipping out the concrete around the perimeter of the basement. The team chipped out 119' of concrete so they could install WaterGuard into the basement. After the team chipped out all of the concrete, they began to lay the WaterGuard in the trench at the base of the wall. The team connected each section of WaterGuard until all 119' was linked with the perimeter drain. After the WaterGuard was complete, the team installed the TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is connected to the perimeter drain so any water that entered the WaterGuard will run down into the Triplesafe basin and then when the water gets high enough in the basin the pump will push the water outside via the drainage line. Once the WaterGuard and TripleSafe are linked up the team covered the WaterGuard and around the basin of the TripleSafe with concrete to conceal the system. 

The homeowner was very happy their friend referred a quality company to address the concerns in their home. The homeowner no longer has to worry about water entering their home. 

An owner of a condo in Exter, New Hampshire, recently had water in their basement after a rainstorm. The homeowner had a Star Wars collection that they would like to protect from water intrusion in the basement. Our design specialist Brian recommended installing WaterGuard, TripleSafe, and IceGuard in the basement to protect their collection from potential water damage. 

Our production team began by chipping out the base of the wall where the water entered the basement. Next, the team installed the WaterGuard into the trench and pitched them toward the sump pump. After the WaterGuard was pitched, the team installed the TripleSafe into a basin that the team had dug out. After the team set the TripleSafe in the basin the team plumbed the sump pump and the drainage line together. Connected to the drainage line was an IceGuard, the IceGuard will prevent water from backing up into the basement from the drainage line freezing or somehow clogging. After everything was plumbed and installed, the team poured concrete over the WaterGuard and around the TripleSafe basin. 

The homeowner is relieved that the system that EFS installed stops water from collecting the in the finished basement of the condo. The homeowner is thankful they no longer have to worry about water ruining their collection. 

A condo association had a detached garage with 3 bays that the concrete inside of them was sinking and cracking. The condos were built in 2001 and in 2010 some of the tenants that use the garages noticed the concrete started to crack and sink. The tenants notified the condo association and they put it off for a couple of years. After a decade of the sinking and cracking being brought up by tenants, the condo association decided to repair the garage bays. Our design specialist Brian recommended installing PolyLevel and NexusPro into the garage to lift, level, and seal the concrete. 

Our production team began by drilling port holes in a grid pattern throughout the concrete. The team used the portholes to inject PolyLevel underneath the concrete to lift and level the slab. The team used short bursts of poly to lift the concrete slowly and precisely. Once the team lifted and leveled the entire slab they then transitioned into sealing all of the cracks using NexusPro. The team used a motorized caulking gun to push NexusPro into the cracks in the concrete. The team sealed about 57' of cracks around the garage to cover all of the cracks. 

The condo association and its tenants are happy with the results of the project. They both no longer had to worry about sinking and cracking concrete in their garages. 

A homeowner in Salem, New Hampshire, had lived in their home for the past 30 years. The home was built in the 1950s and had a concrete block foundation. Over the years the homeowner had noticed the block foundation wall start to look its age, the mortar was starting to come loose and the wall had begun to bow. Finally, after watching the wall get worse over the years, the homeowners decided to call someone to take a look at the foundation. Our design specialist Jason recommended replacing a section of the block foundation wall with a new masonry wall. 

Our masonry team began the project by adding temporary support to the foundation. The temporary supports will support the home when the team removed the wall. After the supports were installed the team began excavating the dirt away from the foundation until they reached the footing of the wall. Once they reached the footing of the wall the team started removing the foundation wall. The team fully removed the wall and hauled away the debris so they could start making the new masonry wall. The first step to begin making the masonry wall is to pour a footing where the team can lay the first row of blocks. After the first row of blocks was installed, the masonry blocks were laid one by one until the wall was finished. After the team laid all of the blocks they installed SentrySeal to waterproof the masonry wall. Once the waterproofing was installed, the team backfilled the dirt that they excavated. During our team's time at this home, the crew noticed that one of the walls that were connected to the wall that they were building seemed to be bowing. Our crew notified the homeowner and recommended to them to have us install PowerBraces. The homeowner felt like it was important to the stability of their home to have the PowerBraces installed. After the team completed the masonry wall, they moved to the adjacent wall and installed 5 PowerBraces on the wall. The PowerBraces are mounted to the base of the wall and then into the floor joists. The team used a special bracket which allowed them to brace the wall using the home as leverage. After the team installed the PowerBraces, the job was completed. 

The homeowner was very happy with the results of the project. They no longer have to worry about the foundation of their home bowing anymore. 

A homeowner in Hampton, New Hampshire, now possessed their mother's home of 30 years. The home was built in the 1920s and for 5 years the homeowner noticed the floor was sagging near the cabinets in the kitchen. The homeowner might be planning the home in a few years, so they wanted to correct the floors for when the time comes they could place the home on the market. Our design specialist recommended installing SmartJacks in the crawlspace under the home to add support under the kitchen and to the main beam. 

Our production team began by removing the supports that are failing. Next, the team laid down some engineered fill to add support to our SmartJacks. Our team used our big plate SmartJacks. The big plate SJs use a larger footplate than our normal one. Our team installed 2 SmartJacks underneath the kitchen and one further down the main beam. The team connected the SmartJacks to the beam with long screws and used the adjustable top to lift the main beam. The team lifted the beam enough to level the floors of the home. 

The homeowner was happy that the floors are now supported. They now can decide whether they wanted to sell the home yet or not. 

The homeowner of a Townsend home, built in 1983, tested their radon levels with a charcoal kit. The test results were processed and provided by Alpha Energy Labs, and the levels were found to be high, in the 10 to 11pCi/L. They reached out to our experts at Erickson Foundation Solutions for a free estimate and design of an effective radon mitigation system. Their main concern was the health of their family, as they spent time in their partially finished basement. For peace of mind and safety, they wanted to install the radon mitigation system to lower their levels to below 4.0 pCi/l.

A homeowner in Stratham, New Hampshire, was the first owner of the home built in 2018. 4 years later the homeowner found some cracking in their foundation wall. The homeowner wanted to make sure the young home was protected. The homeowner also planned to finish the basement soon but wanted to make sure the foundation was secure before doing so. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection, and our design specialist recommended installing 8 PowerBraces again the cracking 4-foot foundation wall in the basement. 

Our production team began by installing L Brackets near the base of the foundation wall. The team used large concrete screws to anchor the L brackets in place. After the brackets were installed the team began installing the top brackets. The top brackets were installed in between the floor joist. The brackets tighten from the top and the homeowner can tighten the brackets over time to straighten the wall. Each PowerBrace was installed and tightened to stabilize the wall. 

The homeowner was happy that they no longer have to worry about their foundation wall. They can now plan to finish their basement. 

A homeowner in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, recently purchased a home that was built in 1900. The home had unlevel floors that they would like to repair and the basement had brick columns that the homeowner would like to have replaced. The homeowner reached out to EFS for a free inspection, and our design specialist recommended replacing the brick columns with SmartJacks to stabilize and level the floors above.

Our team began by setting up temporary posts around the basement. After the temp posts were installed, the team began removing the brick columns from the basement. Next, the team chipped out the concrete where the old brick supports were installed. Once a section of concrete was removed the team dug down and set rebar into the hole. After, the team created a base for the SmartJack by pouring concrete into the hole with the rebar. The team let the concrete cure before installing the SmartJacks. When the concrete was cured the team secured the SmartJack to the beam above and the footing onto the newly cured concrete base. Once the team made sure the SmartJacks are leveled, they poured concrete over the footings to lock them into place. Once all of the SmartJacks were installed the team used the adjustable top to lift on the beam and level the floor.

The homeowners were very pleased with the SmartJacks installation. The homeowners no longer have to worry about the supports in their basement failing. 

A homeowner in Londonderry, New Hampshire, had been living in their home for the past 20 years. Since they moved in the homeowners have noticed water entering their basement. They never thought it was that big of an issue since it would only happen during periods of a lot of rain but no the homeowners just want to repair it. Along with the water coming into the basement, the homeowners think that they have high radon levels in their homes and would like to have a radon mitigation system installed. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection, and our design specialist recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System, UltraSump with IceGuard XL, and Flexispan into the basement to reduce the radon and water collecting in the basement. 

Our team began by sealing the crack in the basement with the Flexispan. The Flexispan will cover the crack and create a channel that collects the water that enters through that crack. The team chips out a small section of the concrete to make drainage so the water will never enter the basement. After the Flexispan was set up, the team then moved on to installing the UltraSump and IceGuard XL in the basement. The team first created a basin for the UltraSump by chipping out some concrete and digging out enough dirt to set the basin in the hole. Once the UltraSump fit into the hole, the team began plumbing the sump pump to the exterior of the home. The team finished plumbing the exterior of the home and connected the IceGuard XL to the plumbing. The IceGuard will prevent water from backing up the drainage line causing it back up into the basement. Following the installation of the UltraSump the team began setting up the radon mitigation system. The team first created the extraction point in a predetermined location in the basement. The team drilled through the concrete and connected the PVC pipe to the extraction point to start collecting radon-filled air. The team then fed the PVC piping out to the exterior of the home. The team then installed the Radon Fan to the exterior of the home and attached the radon pipe to the fan and then vented the system above the roof of the home. This will ensure that no radon can re-enter the home. 

A homeowner in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, had some radon and waterproofing concerns in their home. The home had a finished basement and a 5.5ft tall crawlspace with crushed stone along the floor. The homeowner was worried that the crushed stone would allow moisture and radon into the crawlspace and the rest of the home. Our design specialist recommended installing a radon mitigation system with 2 extraction points and then encapsulating the crawlspace with Draining Matting and CleanSpace. 

Our team began by determining the location of the two extraction points for the radon mitigation system. The team installed one extraction point in the crawlspace and one in the finished basement. After they made the extraction points they began to connect PVC to the extraction point and run the PVC pipe to the exterior of the home. Once the PVC pipe was directed to the exterior of the home the team began to install the radon fan to the exterior of the home. After the team secured the fan to the siding of the home the team connected the PVC pipe to the radon fan and vented the system above the roofline. 

Next, the team began laying down Drainage Matting to start the encapsulation process of the crawlspace. The Drainage Matting will allow water and air to freely travel underneath the encapsulation but not enter the crawlspace. After the matting was installed the team then began installing the CleanSpace over it. The team used a combination of sheets of CleanSpace and CleanSpace Tape to encapsulate the entire crawlspace.

The homeowner was happy their radon and waterproofing needs were met. The homeowners no longer have to worry about radon and water/ moisture getting into the basement/ crawlspace. 

A homeowner in Epping, New Hampshire, had recently purchased their home about a month ago. About two weeks into owning the home the new homeowner noticed sloping in their kitchen floor. They hadn't noticed the sloping in their previous walkthroughs of the home. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their home, and our design specialists recommended installing 6 Helical Piers and PolyLevel to the back left portion of the home. 

Our team first began by removing dirt from the back left of the home to expose the footing of the foundation wall. After the footing was exposed the team began sending Helical screws into the dirt below the home until they reached sufficient pressure to support the home. The team then slipped the Helical Pier into the Helical Pier Brackets and secured the bracket to the footing using large bolts. After all of the brackets were secured with the Helical Piers the team then free-sprayed PolyLevel over the brackets. Once the team finished with the PolyLevel, the team backfilled the dirt back into the hole. 

The homeowner was happy with the results of the project. They no longer have to worry about their kitchen sloping anymore. 

The owner of a duplex in Derry, New Hampshire, has owned the duplex for 12 years. The duplex was built in the 1980s and they noticed the Bulkhead door that leads into the split basement had seen better days. The owners would like to replace the bulkhead door, so they decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our design specialist measured the bulkhead opening and recommended a bulkhead for the owners. 

Our production team began by removing the old bulkhead from the duplex. After the old bulkhead was removed the team then began to set up the new bulkhead. The team installed the bulkhead and made sure it was secured and sealed correctly. 

The owners were happy with the look of the new bulkhead. 

A homeowner in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, had finished building their home in 2013 and moved in right after it was complete. The homeowners realized shortly after moving in that water was seeping into the basement and they were concerned about radon levels. The homeowners wanted to finish their basement so they could have more useable space but needed to make sure the water and radon weren't going to ruin the finished basement. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our design specialist recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System, NexusPro, A SaniDry, UltraSump, and IceGuard in the basement to prevent water and radon from seeping in. 

Our production team began by setting up the UltraSump to be installed. The team chipped out a small section of concrete and removed some dirt so they could fit the UltraSump basin. Once the UltraSump was installed the team then poured concrete around the basin to lock it in place. As the concrete was curing the team used a core drill to make the extraction point for the radon system. Once the extraction point was made the team then attached a PVC pipe to the extraction point. The PVC pipe was fed to the exterior of the home where the radon fan will be installed. The team installed the radon fan on the exterior of the home and connected the PVC pipe to the fan so the radon air collected from beneath the slab can be sent out into the open air to dissipate. After the radon system was installed the team began installing the IceGuard and the drainage line connected to the UltraSump. The team attached the IceGuard to the beginning of the drainage line and then made sure the line extended 10' away from the home. 

The homeowner was very pleased with the results of the project. They won't have to worry about water and radon ruining their basement once they finish it. 

A homeowner in Manchester, New Hampshire, had vertical cracks in their foundation that were allowing water into their finished basement. The homeowner was tired of vacuuming up water on their floors. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our design specialist recommended installing a new TripleSafe, WaterGuard, and IceGuard into the basement to collect any water that entered. 

Our production team began by chipping out a small trench at the base of the foundation wall spanning 13 feet long. In this trench, the team installed WaterGuard to collect the water entering the basement from the wall/floor. Then, connected to the WaterGuard, the team installed a TripleSafe sump pump. With the sump pump installed the team covered the WaterGuard and TripleSafe with a layer of concrete to cover the system to prevent any tripping hazard. The TripleSafe will collect the water from the perimeter drain and collects it in the sump pump basin until there was enough water for the pump to turn on and expel the water through the drainage line. From the sump pump, the team used a series of PVC pipes to the exterior of the home. Once outside, the team installed an IceGuard to the drainage line to prevent water from backing up into the basement. The team continued the drainage line for 10' so water can seep back into the basement through the ground. 

The homeowner was very pleased with the system that EFS installed.

A homeowner in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, lived in an 1880s home for the past 10 years. Earlier this year, the homeowner's were worried about the air quality in their house. They had a radon mitigation system installed but still felt like the air quality in their home could be better. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our design specialist Chris Greenwood recommended installing an ERV system and a SaniDry into the basement to improve the air quality in their home. 

The production team began by mounting the ERV system to the wall in the basement. After it was mounted the team then set up the 4 outlets/intakes. After the outlets and intakes were installed the team then moved on to installing the SaniDry Sedona in the basement. 

The ERV will bring fresh air into the home and remove old stale air while the SaniDry will keep the humidity in the home at a comfortable level. 

The homeowners were pleased with the results of the installation. They are confident the air in their home is the best it's ever been. 

A homeowner in Raymond, New Hampshire, lived in a home built in 2004. They recently purchased the home in June 2022, and the previous owners mentioned that the septic tank wasn't buried deep enough into the ground at the front of the house. This caused the front foundation wall to experience high pressure resulting in an inward lean as well as a horizontal crack in the foundation wall. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free foundation inspection. Our design specialist Jason recommended installing PowerBraces to the foundation wall and using Crack Injection to seal the horizontal crack. 

Our production team began by marking where each PowerBrace will be installed. Before they could install the PowerBraces the team had to first seal the horizontal foundation crack. The team used Our crack injection formula to seal the crack in the foundation wall. After the cracks were sealed the team began installing the PowerBraces. The foundation wall was 10' tall so our team with use our extra tall 10' PowerBraces to support the wall. To set up the PowerBraces the team first installed an L bracket a couple of inches away from the wall where each of the PowerBraces was slated to be installed. After the L bracket was installed the team used a ladder to then install the top bracket of the PowerBrace. The bracket will provide the pressure needed to support and straighten the wall. Once the bracket was installed the team then installed the 10' PowerBrace in between the L bracket and the wall and into the top bracket. After both ends were secured the team then began to tighten the top bracket of each PowerBrace to begin straightening the wall. The team installed a total of 18 10' PowerBraces to the front and back foundation walls.

The homeowners were very pleased with the results of the project and were relieved that they no longer have to worry about their foundation walls anymore.  

A homeowner in Newington, New Hampshire, has water entering their garage. The homeowner found that water was entering the garage from the control joints. The water was threatening to damage personal belongings in the garage. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist Jason recommended installing WaterGuard and a SuperSump to collect any water entering the garage and then using NexusPro to seal the control joints on the garage floor.

Our production team began by chipping out concrete on the right wall of the garage to install the WaterGuard so it can collect water and direct it to the sump pump. After the WaterGuard and SuperSump were installed the team then covered them in a thin layer of concrete to conceal them. Next, the team plumbed the sump pump and installed the drainage line to the exterior of the garage. Once the entire system was set up the team then used NexusPro to seal the joints in the concrete. The NexusPro will prevent water from seeping onto the garage floors. 

With the system installed the homeowners haven't seen any water entering the garage anymore. 

This home in East Kingston, NH had a lawn sprinkler system installed which required drilling several holes into the poured concrete foundation walls. Pipes ran through these holes and out into the lawn on the exterior. Over the years, the homeowner noticed during heavy rain storms that water would trickle in through these holes in between the pipes and the concrete. He wanted a solution to keep the water from pooling on his basement floor in this area.

Our team proposed and installed SentrySeal and FlexiSpan crack seal. The SentrySeal vapor barrier was installed on the exterior of the home, and application with a very strong adhesive that prevents moisture from penetrating the space behind it. In order to install the barrier, the team did some light excavation on the exterior of the home. Once installed, this was backfilled back to existing conditions. 

Lastly, the homeowner also wanted to control the humidity levels in his basement, and so our team also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier system, the best on the market.  

With a dry basement and humidity levels under control, this homeowner was very pleased with the outcome. 

A homeowner recently purchased a home from their mother-in-law in Exeter, New Hampshire. The home was originally built in 1811 but the first family members moved in around the 1930s. The new homeowners were worried about the supports in the basement, the floors were sloping and seemed to be causing damage to the finished work around the home. The new homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist Liam recommended installing 10 SmartJacks into the basement to add support, lift, and level the floors. 

Our production team began by mapping out where each support will be installed. After the location of each support was figured out the team then started to chip out sections of the concrete floor for our footings to be installed. Once the team chipped out all of the concrete that they needed, the team then installed 10 footings and made sure to level them. After the footings were installed and leveled the team cut 10 galvanized steel beams to size so they would fit just below the beam in the basement. Once all the beams were cut and installed, the team then connected the adjustable top bracket to the steel beam and then to the support beam. After the top brackets were installed the team then began tightening the adjustable top bracket to slowly push upward on the beams above. Tightening allows the brackets will eventually lift the floor and reduce the slope in the floor. After the floors were in the correct position the team then poured concrete over the footings of each SmartJack to lock them into place and eliminate any tripping hazards. 

The homeowner was amazed at the installation of the SmartJack System. 

A home in Newmarket, New Hampshire, had recently been purchased. Before the new homeowner moved in they found a slope on the main level of their home. They have a plan in the future to finish the area on the main floor but needed to make sure the floors could handle it. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection of the floor system in their crawlspace. Our Design Specialist found that each beam in the floor sloped approximately an inch. They recommended replacing the wooden supports in the crawlspace with SmartJacks. 

Our production team planned to install 11 SmartJacks in the crawlspace. We started by setting up temporary support so we could remove the old wooden supports. After the wood supports were removed and the temps were installed the team began creating level footings for our SmartJacks to rest on. The team dug a hole that was 24"x 24"x 24" and then filled the hole with engineered fill, rebar, and concrete. Once cured the team installed our SmartJacks over the footing and connected it to the beam above. They repeated this process 10 more times until they were all installed. Once installed the team can use the adjustable top to lift on the floor above to lift and level it. After everything was installed and set in place the team then cast concrete over the footings. 

The homeowner was pleased with the installation of the SmartJacks. They now felt confident in the floors so they could install the upgrades they planned on doing. 

This homeowner in Exeter, New Hampshire, recently became an empty nester and they planned on remodeling their home. A couple of years ago the homeowner noticed that their home felt to be on a tilt. They reached out to the foundation experts (EFS) and met with our Design Specialist John. John found that the foundation of the home had sunk around 6 inches. The homeowner wanted to build a giant model train set in the basement. They wanted to make sure the basement was safe. John recommended using Push Piers, PolyLevel, and NexusPro to address the foundation concerns, and having SmartJacks, and Concentric Piers to stabilize the interior of the basement. Additionally, since the homeowner will be spending a lot of time in the basement he recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System to reduce the radon levels. 

Our production team installed 18 Push Piers around the perimeter of the home's foundation. Next, the team used PolyLevel to lift up the slab of the corner of the home that had sunk 6 inches. After the team moved into the basement and they installed 1 SmartJack and 1 Concentric Pier into the basement to add stability in the basement so the homeowners can fully finish their basement. Lastly, the team installed an extraction point in the slab and installed a radon fan to the exterior of the home to pull radon gas from below the home. 

The homeowner was very happy with the results of the project. They will start finishing their basement soon so they can design their model train set in the basement. 

A homeowner in Derry, New Hampshire, had moved into their home at the beginning of 2022. The house was built in late 2021 and after living in it for almost a year they noticed a crack in their garage and the garage apron was deteriorating. The homeowners wanted to preserve their new home and prevent things from getting worse. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist recommended repairing the apron and sealing the apron. 

Our production team began by chipping out the apron of the garage. After the old apron was removed the team then set up a form to pour a new one. Once they poured and smoothed the apron they had to wait for it to cure, so they then used NexusPro to seal the crack in the garage. To prevent any further cracking the team injected some PolyLevel under the garage slab to fill any voids under the concrete. 

The homeowners were very happy with the results of the project. They don't have to worry about their garage deteriorating anymore. The homeowner can now focus on keeping the rest of their home in good condition for years to come. 

A homeowner in Hampton, New Hampshire, was selling the home but had some cracks in the foundation wall. They have seen some water entering the cracks so they wanted to get in front of them before they place the home on the market. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist John recommended installing FlexiSpan over the foundation crack. 

Our production team began by cleaning out any debris from within the crack. Next, they line around the crack with duct tape and then covered the crack with a membrane that won't allow water to enter the basement. Next, they chipped out a section of concrete at the bottom of the crack so water could drain under the home. Next, the team sealed the membrane on the foundation wall so no water could penetrate the basement. 

Our homeowners were pleased with the results of the project. They were now able to put their home on the market without having to explain the foundation crack in their basement. 

A homeowner in Auburn, New Hampshire, had work done by EFS in 2021. In 2021 our team installed Geolocks to the rear of the garage to stabilize the foundation. Our team had also recommended using PolyLevel to fill any void under the garage slab to prevent movement, but the homeowners opted against it. Now two years since our team installed the Geolocks in the garage the homeowners have noticed a shift in the garage. The homeowner decided to call EFS to come out for a new inspection. Our Design Specialist/ Project Manager Nate looked at the garage and recommended the same thing that was recommended in 2021: to fill the void and level the garage slab using PolyLevel. 

Our production team installed PolyLevel under the slab in the garage. They drilled port holes into the garage slab and then injected PolyLevel through the port hole to fill the void and level the garage slab. 

The homeowners were kicking themselves for not having the PolyLevel installed the first time around but they were delighted with the installation by EFS and the crew. The production team installed the PolyLevel in the garage within one day and they were able to park their car in the garage that night. 

A homeowner in Rye, New Hampshire, had lived in their home for the past decade. Six or seven years ago they had noticed the lone lally column in their garage was showing its age and looking rusty. The father of one of the homeowners told them they needed to call someone to replace the lally columns for them. So the homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist Jason recommended replacing the lone lally column with a new one. 

Our production team began by removing the old rusted lally column. They then chipped out a 2' x 2' section of concrete to they could place the new lally column below the concrete. The team installed the lally column and then surrounded the base of the lally with engineered fill and rebar. Engineered Fill and Rebar, paired with covering the base of the lally column with concrete will lock it in place. 

The homeowner was very pleased with how quick the entire process was. The team was in and out within a matter of hours. 

A homeowner in Northwood, New Hampshire, recently purchased their home and noticed water coming through vertical cracks in the basement. When it rained the homeowner felt like they had to check the basement every couple of hours to make sure it wasn't going to flood. The home wanted some piece of mind back and decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist John recommended installing Flexispan over two cracks and installing PowerBraces to the foundation wall to add stability to the foundation wall against hydrostatic pressure. 

Our production team began by installing our FlexiSpan over the cracks in the foundation. The FlexiSpan will cover the crack and move with it to ensure no water can enter the basement. After the cracks were covered, the team moved on to installing the PowerBraces to the foundation wall to strengthen the wall against hydrostatic pressure. The PowerBraces were mounted at the base of the wall using an L bracket and then the upper bracket was installed in the floor joists to tighten or loosen the Powerbraces depending on the force needed to straighten the wall. 

The homeowners were happy with the results of the project. They call in about waterproofing and receive an in-depth solution that addresses their concerns and more. 

A homeowner in Deerfield, New Hampshire, has lived in their home since 2007. Shortly after moving into the home, they noticed the cracks in the basement slab. After living in the home for about 15 years they have seen the cracks find their way into the garage. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist James recommended installing PolyLevel throughout the basement and the garage to fill the void under the slabs. James suggested using NexusPro to seal all of the cracks in the slabs throughout the basement and garage but the homeowners only wanted to seal the cracks in the garage. 

Our team used our PolyLevel Truck to inject foam underneath the slab in the basement and the garage. The PolyLevel was injected beneath the slabs in a grid pattern this will ensure no void under the concrete will go unfilled. After the team filled the void beneath the basement and garage the team then sealed all of the cracks in the garage.

The homeowners were very pleased with the results of the project. They could feel an immediate difference under the concrete before our team even finished the job. 

A homeowner in Danville, New Hampshire, had water entering the basement during heavy rains and snowmelt periods. The homeowner has noticed this problem since they moved into their home last September. They want to keep their basement dry and repair it before the problem before it gets worse. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist James recommended installing WaterGuard and a SuperSump with an IceGuard to prevent water from entering the basement. 

Our team began by chipping out 65' around the perimeter of the basement that was allowing water in. After the concrete was chipped out the team installed the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement where they chipped out the concrete. At the lowest point in the basement, the team chipped out a larger section of concrete so we could install a SuperSump. The SuperSump will collect any water from the WaterGuard and pump it outside the home. The sump pump was plumbed to the outside of the home where the team installed an IceGuard which will prevent the drainage line from backing up into the basement. After the system was tested and everything worked correctly the team then covered the WaterGuard and around the SuperSump to protect them.

The homeowner was very happy they no longer have to worry about water in their basement after heavy rains or snowmelt. 

A homeowner in Derry, New Hampshire, has lived in their home for the past 13 years. About 2 years ago the homeowners have noticed water entering their basement from their bulkhead. They tried to repair the issue themselves with a bandaid fix but less than a year later the fix didn't hold up. Now the homeowners would like to find a permanent fix so they reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist Victor inspected the basement and recommended using a combination of WaterGuard, TrenchGuard, CleanSpace, and an UltraSump to collect any water that enters the basement. 

Our installation team began by installing our UltraSump on the wall next to the bulkhead. The team chipped out some concrete and removed some dirt so they could install the sump pump flush with the floor. Then they plumbed the sump to the exterior of the home and installed an IceGuard and an exterior drainage line too. Next, the team chipped out the perimeter of the bulkhead and along the wall that the bulkhead was on so we can install our WaterGuard against the walls to collect any water. The WaterGuard will all lead back to the UltraSump so it can send the water out of the basement. Additionally, on the bulkhead walls, the team installed CleanSpace to direct the water to the WaterGuard which will be sent to the UltraSump. 

The homeowner was very pleased with the results of the project. They haven't seen any water in their basement since EFS installed the perimeter drainage system. 

A beach home in Hampton, New Hampshire, was purchased in August 2022. After owning the home for over a year they have noticed sagging in the main floors of their home. They wanted a company to come out and look at the supports in the home and give them a solution on how to repair the problem. The homeowners called EFS for a free inspection by our Design Specialist Jason Vachon. Jason inspected the home and the basement and found that both the main beams have sagged more than a 1/2". Jason recommended installing 4 SmartJacks in the basement under the main beams to eliminate the sag in the beams. 

Our installation team began by setting up temporary posts in the basement so the team could remove the old lally columns. After, the team began chipping out 4 footings for the SmartJacks. Once the concrete was removed the team installed our SmartJacks and set them on our square footings. The team then secured all of the SmartJacks to the two main beams that were sagging and began lifting each one until they were level. Once the team verified that each beam was level the team then mixed concrete and poured it over each square footing of the SmartJack to lock them into place. 

A homeowner in Deerfield, New Hampshire, had purchased their forever home 4 years ago. A few months ago the homeowner became worried about the radon levels in their home. They decided to buy a "radon tester" and monitor the radon levels in their home. The results came back with an average of around 10 pCi/L. The homeowner would like to have the levels reduced to below 4.0 pCi/L. The homeowner called EFS for an inspection of their home, and our Design Specialist recommended and designed a radon mitigation system with 2 extraction points for their home to reduce the radon levels below 4.0 pCi/L. 

Our installation team began by creating two extraction points to pull the most amount of radon from beneath the home as they can. Next, the team linked the two extraction points with PVC pipe and then fed the PVC to the exterior of the home. Once outside the team then installed the radon fan to the side of the home where they connected the PVC pipe to the fan. After the fan and the radon pipes were connected the team then used more PVC pipe to vent the radon system above the roofline of the home. 

The homeowner was very pleased with the results of the project. The radon levels in the home were reduced to below 4.0 pCi/L.

A homeowner in Londonderry, New Hampshire, has lived in their home for the past 26 years. About 15 years ago the homeowner built a sunroom onto the back of their home and about 2 years ago the homeowner noticed the windows in the sunroom were getting tight. They felt them getting tighter over time and decided they wanted to find a solution to this problem. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist Tom recommended replacing the supports under the sunroom with our Helical Piers. 

Our installation team began by setting up temporary posts around the sunroom. After the temp posts were set up, the team then removed the old posts and began setting them up to send our Helical Piers into the ground. Our team used a hydraulic drive head to send 5 Helicals under the sunroom. They screwed the piers into the ground until they reached 2200 psi. On this job, the average depth of each pier was 12ft. Once all the piers were pressurized the team then attached our porch bracket and cut 6x6 pressure-treated wood to connect the porch bracket to the bottom of the porch. The team made sure the porch was level before removing any of the temporary posts. 

The homeowner was impressed with our Helical Piers and wished they had used them 15 years ago. 

A homeowner in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, had water from their driveway coming into their garage. The homeowners have had this happening for about a year and would like to find a solution to this issue. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist Isaac recommended installing Trench Drain, SuperSump, and Ice Guard into the garage to collect any water and pump it out. 

Our installation team began by chipping out thin sections of concrete across the width of the garage and then up under the door on the left side of the garage. By the door on the left side of the garage, the team dug out a bigger section of concrete to fit our SuperSump. The team plumbed our sump pump through the wall to the outside of the home where we installed an IceGuard and a discharge line to send the water away from the home. From the sump, the team installed Trench Drain under the door and across the width of the garage. The TrenchDrain will collect any water that enters the garage and will guide it to the SuperSump. The team performed a water test on the TrenchDrain to ensure the system works before laying concrete around the TrenchDrain and SuperSump. 

The homeowner was very pleased with the result of the project. They no longer worry about having water enter their garage. 

This homeowner in Kensington, New Hampshire, recently purchased their home less than a week ago. When buying the home they already knew they wanted to have a radon system installed. So when they were moving into their home they called EFS to inspect their home for radon. We used a radon test kit for 48 hours before our appointment to see the levels of radon inside the home. The levels in the home averaged around 5.5 pCi/L. Once our Design Specialist Kenny arrived at the home we have a report of the average radon levels in the home. Kenny then designed a system for the home.

Our installation team arrived and began to install the radon system into the home. We began by creating an extraction point in the basement which we then fed PVC pipe from the extraction point to the exterior of the home. After the PVC pipe was directed outside, the team then installed our radon fan to the PVC pipe and vented the system above the roofline of the home.

The radon system lowered the radon levels in the home to a healthy level. The homeowner was very pleased with the installation of their new radon mitigation system. 

A new homeowner in Hampstead, New Hampshire, received a pre-purchase inspection from an inspector in their town. The inspector noticed a crack in their foundation that seemed concerning. The inspector didn't inform them of possible solutions so the homeowners took it into their own hands to reach out to EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist Liam inspected the crack and found that the crack isn't anything to worry about so he recommended sealing it so water couldn't enter the home and putting a crack monitor on it to track whether it moved or not. But Liam had noticed on his inspection that a beam in the garage was sagging and recommended installing two SmartJacks into the garage.

Our installation team began by chipping out a small section of concrete and creating a footing under the slab with rebar crushed stone and concrete. Once the footing cured the team then installed our SmartJacks footing and SmartJack assembly over the footing and connected it to the beam above. Once the SmartJacks were secured to the beam and over the poured footing the team used the adjustable top of the SmartJacks to add support to that beam. 

The homeowner was relieved that the crack in their foundation was nothing to worry about and that Liam noticed the sag in their garage and suggested a solution that worked for them. 

This homeowner in Windham, New Hampshire, has lived in their home for about 6 months. When they moved in the home inspector tested the radon in the home and the levels were around 4.6 pCi/L, now 6 months later the homeowner want to have a radon system installed and they tested the home again and the results came back at 7.7 pCi/L. The homeowners have their grandma stay over at their home up to 4 times a year so they would like to have a radon system installed in their home to lower the radon levels in their home. They called EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist Josh recommended and designed a radon mitigation system to be installed into the home. 

Our installation team began by creating an extraction point in the slab in the basement to pull radon-filled air from beneath the home. Next, the team installed a PVC pipe to carry the radon to the exterior of the home where we connect the PVC pipe to a fan. The team installed the fan to the side of the home and connected the PVC pipe to the fan so it can push the radon away from the home.

The homeowner was very pleased with the installation of the radon mitigation system.  

The owner of a home in Greenland, New Hampshire, had lived in their home for the last 6 years and they have noticed changes in their garage slab.

The homeowners have lived in their homes since 2018 and have become more and more concerned over the years. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist Jason inspected the home and took measurements to see how much the home had settled. Jason found the parts of the foundation had settled about 3/4", so he recommended installing 30 Push Piers around the full perimeter of the home. 

Our Installation Team began by bringing our equipment so we could install all of our Push Piers around the home. Next, the team dug a hole down to the footing of the foundation for each of the Push Piers were will install. After each hole was made the team attached a Push Pier Bracket to the footing into each hole. The team will then use 3' sections of piers and send each section using a hydraulic press until sufficient pressure is achieved. The team will then cut and cap the pier so it will stay in that position. The team repeats this until all of the Push Piers were installed. After they all were installed, the team then backfilled each hole. 

The homeowners were very pleased with the job done by EFS.

A homeowner in Kingston, New Hampshire, had purchased their home 3 years ago. When they purchased the home they knew there was a slight sag in the floors.

A homeowner in Candia, New Hampshire, had built their home a few years ago. The homeowner had cancer and had since beaten it but wanted to make sure it doesn't come back. They tested the home for radon levels in their home and the test results came back around 15 pCi/L. The homeowner called EFS about installing a Radon Mitigation system in their home so they can reduce the radon levels. We designed a radon mitigation system and installed it in the home.

Our team first started by creating a radon extraction point and then used PVC pipe to guide radon-filled air out of the basement and to the radon fan on the exterior of the home. Once the extraction point, the PVC pipe, and the radon fan were all connected the team then turned on the fan and began pulling radon from beneath the home and lowering the radon levels inside the home. 

After having the system installed in the home for over a year, the homeowners tested the radon levels just to see what levels they had and the test came back at 1.7 pCi/L. 1.7 pCi/L is well below the recommended amount of radon allowed.

A homeowner in Sandown, New Hampshire, recently tested their home for radon after living there for 20 years. The test results showed the levels averaging around 8 pCi/L, while the high and low were at 11 and 3. The homeowner wanted to have a radon mitigation system installed in their home to bring the levels consistently under 4.0 pCi/L. The homeowner decided to call EFS for them to design a radon system for their home. Our Design Specialist Kenny inspected the home and designed a radon mitigation system for their home. 

Our installation team began by creating an extraction point in the basement slab and then securing a PVC pipe to the extraction point. The team then fed the PVC pipe to the exterior of the home where they connect the PVC pipe to the radon fan that was installed on the side of the home. Once the extraction point was linked to the radon fan the team then vented the system above the roofline to ensure the radon gas cannot re-enter the home. 

The homeowners were very happy when they re-tested their home and the radon levels were consistently below 4.0 pCi/L.

A homeowner in Newmarket, New Hampshire, has a home built over 100 years ago. Since living in the house the homeowner has worried about the strength of their floor system. Over time they have seen the floor system get worse and decided they wanted to have the floor system looked at. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection by one of our Design Specialists. Our Design Specialist Victor met with the homeowner and inspected the entire basement and the floor system of the home. Victor found that there were a few areas in the basement that were under-supported and were causing the floors to sag. Victor recommended installing 6 SmartJacks to add support to the floor system. Additionally, Victor recommended installing CleanSpace to encapsulate the crawlspace on the right side of the home and a SaniDry to control the humidity in the basement.

Our installation team began by installing our SmartJacks into the basement. To install the SmartJacks the team first chipped out a small section of concrete so we could install our footing under the concrete. After the footing was set and leveled, the team then measured and cut the SmartJack support to the correct size. The team made sure to leave a couple of inches at the top of the SmartJack so we could install our adjustable bracket that will secure the post and the beam above. After all of the support was secured and the floor was supported, the team then poured concrete over the footings of the SmartJack lock them in place. Next, the team used CleanSpace to encapsulate the space and prevent moisture from coming up from the ground. Lastly, the team installed the SaniDry into the basement to keep the moisture in the basement at a comfortable level. 

The homeowner was very pleased with our team's work and even left us a glowing review of our installation.

An owner of a condominium in Rye, New Hampshire, has a garage unit that they store belongings and a car in. The garage unit is bordered by a few other garage units.

A North Hampton homeowner has lived in their home for 18 years and spends a lot of time in the basement. Recently, they visited a doctor and were advised that radon could be the cause of their lung issue. Concerned, the homeowner contacted EFS for a radon test and home inspection. The results revealed an average of 14.5 pCi/L, well above the recommended amount of 4.0 pCi/L. To help, Design Specialist Jared Pavluvcik created a radon mitigation system that would reduce levels to below 4.0 pCi/L. 

The Installation Team, led by Dillon Kingsbury, created an extraction point in the slab to collect radon gas from under the home. They then installed PVC pipes, extending them to the exterior where they connected them to the radon fan. After a week, the home was tested for radon again and the levels were below the recommended amount. The homeowners were happy with the results.

A resident in Atkinson, New Hampshire experienced water seeping onto their basement floor despite having a sump pump installed in a pit. Seeking a solution, they contacted EFS for a complimentary inspection. Our Design Specialist, John Prince, assessed the basement and recommended a perimeter drainage system to collect any water entering the basement and pump it outside. This system comprised of 98' of WaterGuard, a TripleSafe sump pump, and 115' of CleanSpace. 

Our Installation Team, led by Anthony Locascio, began by digging a trench and basin for the perimeter drainage and sump pump. They then installed the TripleSafe and connected it to the exterior of the home. Following this, the team installed 115' of CleanSpace on the foundation wall to collect any moisture. After completing the CleanSpace installation, WaterGuard was installed in the trench with the CleanSpace tucked behind the flange. Finally, the team mixed concrete and poured it over the perimeter drainage and sump pump to secure them in place. 

The homeowner was thrilled with the outcome of the project and can now rest easy knowing their basement is free from water damage.

A resident in Exeter, New Hampshire bought a house constructed in 1962 three years ago. Shortly after moving in, they noticed water seeping into their basement whenever it rained. The water would seep through cracks in the walls and floor, causing a mess that needed cleaning up. After cleaning up the basement several times, they decided to seek a permanent solution to prevent water from collecting in the basement. 

The homeowner contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist, Victor Tapia, visited and inspected the entire basement to gather all the necessary information before creating a personalized solution for them. After careful consideration, we recommended the installation of a full-perimeter drainage system that would collect any water trying to enter the basement and pump it out of the home. 

Our Installation Team, led by Branden Edwards, installed 130' of WaterGuard around the basement perimeter to collect water from the walls or floors. To drain the water that collects in the perimeter drainage, our team integrated our TripleSafe sump pump to collect and push it outside the home. To ensure that the water pumped out of the basement won't come back, we installed a 70' Exterior Drainage Line.

With the Perimeter Drainage System installed, the homeowner no longer worries about water entering the basement and collecting on the floors.

A Sandown, New Hampshire homeowner who owns a house built in the 1940s has been experiencing basement flooding every time it rains since purchasing the property in 2019. Despite having plans to finish the basement upon their daughter's departure, they decided to address the flooding issue first. They contacted EFS for a free home inspection, during which our Design Specialist, Jason Vachon, met with the homeowners to examine the property and determine the source of the water penetration. Following the inspection, Jason recommended installing a TripleSafe to replace the old sump, WaterGuard spanning 74 feet around the basement perimeter to collect water from the floor, walls, or beneath the slab, IceGuard, and an Exterior Drainage System to divert water away from the foundation. 

Our Installation Team, led by Branden Edwards, began by chipping away at the concrete surrounding the basement perimeter to install the WaterGuard and the new and larger TripleSafe. The systems were installed flush with the concrete to avoid any tripping hazards. Once the sump and perimeter drainage was installed, the team connected the sump pump to the exterior of the home and added the IceGuard and Exterior Drainage Line to carry water pumped through the TripleSafe away from the foundation and prevent it from re-entering the basement. After the drainage line was buried, the team mixed concrete to cover the WaterGuard and the TripleSafe, securing them in place. 

The homeowner was highly satisfied with the new system, as it resolves the issue of water penetration into the basement. They can now move forward with finishing their basement and adding extra usable space to their home.

This homeowner in Sandown, New Hampshire, has lived in their home since the late 80's. After living in the home for over 35 years they have become concerned with the possibility of having radon gas in their home. They also want to control the amount of water and moisture in their basement so they reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist John Prince met with the home and inspected the home. John looked at the results of a radon test that he had dropped off a few days prior to find out how high the radon levels were in the home. The radon test came back with results at 5.8 pCi/L which was above the recommended amount. John recommended installing a radon mitigation system, TripleSafe, and SaniDry Sedona so the homeowner could control the radon levels, water, and moisture in the basement. 

Our Installation Team led by Kyle DeChane began by installing the radon system into the home. We started by creating an extraction point in the slab in the basement. Then we used PVC pipe to connect the extraction point to the radon fan that will be installed on the exterior of the home. Once the team installed the fan and connected the PVC pipe we then vent the entire system above the roofline of the home where radon can be drawn from below the home and sent out into the open air where it can dissipate. After the radon system was installed the team then began installing the TripleSafe in the basement next to the entrance from the bulkhead. The team first chipped out concrete so we could install our sump pump basin. Once the basin was fit flush with the slab the team then began plumbing the system outside the home. On the outside of the home, we first installed our IceGuard and then our Exterior Drainage Line which will extend a minimum of 10' from the foundation of the home. After the system was fully plumbed, we returned back into the basement to mix up some concrete and pour it around the basin of the sump pump to lock it into place. While the concrete was curing the team then set up our SaniDry Sedona next to the TripleSafe and guided the discharge line into the basin of the sump pump. 

The homeowner was very happy with the results of the project. They no longer have to worry about radon, water, or moisture in the basement. 

A Rye, New Hampshire homeowner purchased their childhood home from their parents in 2015 and found that two sump pumps had been installed in the basement around a decade prior. Recently, one of the pumps malfunctioned, prompting the homeowner to seek a replacement. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection with Design Specialist Jason Vachon. Following the inspection, Jason recommended that the homeowner replace their existing sump pumps with our SuperSumps, and the Installation Team, led by Branden Edwards, got to work. 

First, the team removed the old pumps and used jackhammers to enlarge the old sump pump pit to accommodate the new SuperSump. Once the concrete was chipped, the team ensured that the new sump pump basin would fit flush with the concrete slab before installing the new SuperSump. The team then connected the system to the exterior of the home, installing an Exterior Drainage Line to carry water away from the home's foundation. Finally, the team secured the SuperSumps in place with a concrete mixture. The homeowners were thrilled with the new SuperSumps installed in their basement.

The owner of a 1950s home in Hampstead, New Hampshire, had 3 feet of water come into their crawlspace during the springtime when we had a large amount of rainfall. The homeowners have never seen this must water in their crawlspace. In the last few years, a home was built on the vacant lot next to them. With that house being built they have seen water entering the crawlspace more and more often. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their crawlspace. Our Design Specialist Victor Tapia met with the homeowner and took an extensive look at the crawlspace. After his inspection, Victor recommended installing a TripleSafe, SmartPipe, SmartJacks, and CleanSpace into the crawlspace to control water coming in and adding support to a sagging support beam. 

Our Installation Team led by Anthony Locascio began by first removing the old sump pump and replacing it with our TripleSafe. Once the TripleSafe was installed and plumbed to the exterior of the home, the team was able to work in the crawlspace and not have to worry about water surging in. Next, the team then worked on installing the perimeter drainage around the crawlspace and installing the SmartJacks under the sagging support beam. After the drainage and supports were installed the team then installed the CleanSpace throughout the entire crawlspace. We started with going around the walls first and then moving to cover the floors before the project was complete. 

The homeowner was very pleased with the results of the project and don't have to worry about water collecting in their crawlspace. 

This homeowner in Stratham, New Hampshire, has lived in their home since 2000. After almost 20 years of living there, they are planning on selling the home in the next couple of years. To prepare for the day that they sell the home they were repairing things around the home. Since they purchased the home in 2000 they noticed a crack in the foundation wall. Over the past 20+ years, the crack has gotten larger so the homeowner would like to have it repaired before they put the home onto the market. To have the problem looked at the homeowner called EFS for a free inspection of the basement. Our Design Specialist Jason Vachon met with the homeowners and inspected the basement. During his inspection, Jason looked at the crack thoroughly and found that the foundation wall was bowing. Jason thinks that the bowing of the wall could have caused the crack to form and grow over the years. He recommended sealing the crack with FlexiSpan and then stabilizing the foundation wall with 5 PowerBraces. 

Our Installation Team led by Edward N. began by installing our L Brackets to the base of the foundation wall. While those were being installed another member of the team was installing the FlexiSpan over the crack on the foundation wall. After the L Brackets and FlexiSpan were installed we then continued installing the rest of the PowerBrace. We installed our galvanized steel supports between the L Bracket and the wall. The bracket will be used as leverage to straighten the wall. Lastly, the team needed to install the top bracket into the floor system. This will allow us to tighten the PowerBrace to start the straightening process. After the PowerBraces were all installed the team then tightened each of them to stabilize and straighten the wall. 

The homeowners were very fortunate to call EFS and have us look at their homes. If they hadn't they could've left that wall unstabilized, which could have led to a wall failure in the future. 

This homeowner in Fremont, New Hampshire, has lived in their home since 2000. They have a family and teach classes out of their home and have become concerned with radon levels in the house. They called EFS to have us test their home for radon and recommend a solution for them. Our Design Specialist Anthony Brancato met with the homeowner and tested the home for radon. The tests showed radon levels averaging 7.7 pCi/L so Anthony recommended installing a radon mitigation system with two extraction points to collect the most radon as possible.

Our Installation Team led by Branden Edwards began by creating two extraction points in the basement slab. The team attached PVC pipe to the extractions to channel radon-filled air to the radon fan that will be installed on the exterior of the home. The team connected the two extraction points and channeled them into one pipe to lead to the radon fan. The team secured the radon fan to the exterior of the home and connected the PVC pipe to create negative pressure to draw up the radon from beneath the home. To make sure radon cannot re-enter the home the team vented the radon system above the roofline of the home to allow the radon to dissipate into the open air. 

The homeowners were very happy and they re-tested for radon a couple of weeks after installation to find the levels well below 4.0 pCi/L.

This homeowner in Epping, New Hampshire purchased their 1950s home about 6 years ago. Since moving their belongings into the home they have seen water collect on the floor of the basement. Nearly every time it rained, water would collect on the floor of the basement. After living in the home for the past 5 years they have seen the water coming into the basement more frequently. The homeowners plan to sell the home in the next 5 years so they reached out to EFS to find a solution to their problem. Our Design Specialist Josh Philips met with the homeowner and inspected the basement. After completing the inspection, Josh recommended installing a full perimeter drainage system into the basement to collect and pump out any water from the basement. The products our team will install are 92' of WaterGuard, 12' of TrenchDrain, a TripleSafe, 2 IceGuards, and 10' of Exterior Drainage Line. 

Our Installation Team led by Steve Dumais, began by chipping out concrete around the perimeter of the basement to install our perimeter drainage and the sump pump. The team used a jackhammer to remove about 6 inches of concrete from against the wall and also remove enough concrete to install the TripleSafe basin. After all of the concrete was chipped and removed the team began installing the TripleSafe, WaterGuard, and TrenchDrain. The team split up into two groups, one to install the sump pump and another group to install the perimeter drainage. Once the perimeter drainage and sump pump were installed in the basement, the team then moved outside to plumb the drainage line for the sump. We installed two IceGuard on the outside of the home one for the main pump and one for the backup pumps. Next, the team attached a 10' Exterior Drainage Line to the IceGuards to carry water away from the foundation of the home. After the drainage line was installed in a trench that was dug in the yard, we then covered it and tamped the soil down. Next, the team returned to the basement and mixed together concrete to pour over the WaterGuard, Trench Drain, and around the TripleSafe to lock them in place. 

The homeowner hasn't seen any water collect in their basement since EFS installed our perimeter drainage system. They are very pleased with the results of the project. 

This homeowner in Derry, New Hampshire, has lived in their home for the past 7-8 years. The home was built in 1984 but when they bought it in 2015 they noticed that the bulkhead allowed water to leak into the basement. Now 7-8 years later the bulkhead is still allowing water into the basement so they decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their bulkhead and basement. Our Design Specialist Bryan Barnard met with the homeowner and inspected the bulkhead and the basement to find a solution to stop the water from leaking in. After his inspection, Bryan recommended installing a new bulkhead.

Out Installation Team led by Bob Labrie and Brendan Edwards began by removing the old bulkhead from the home. Once removed, the team began to install the new bulkhead. We made sure to seal around the edges of the bulkhead to make sure water couldn't travel under or around it and get into the basement. Once everything was installed the team did a walkthrough with the homeowner to show them everything that was installed. 

The homeowner was very pleased with the look and functionality of the new bulkhead. 

A business in Londonderry, New Hampshire, was growing and needed to install two additional loading docks to the one they currently have. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their foundation. Our Design Specialist Kenny Calabrese met with the building manager and walked through the building and inspected the foundation. Kenny found that installing the two loading docks could cause additional stress to the floors and foundation of the building. Kenny recommended reinforcing the foundation and foundation walls with Push Piers and Helical Piers. 

Our Installation Team led by Neal Foley began by exposing the foundation wall where the loading dock will be installed on. Our team will install 11 Helical Piers under the footing of the foundation and another 9 Helical Piers installed horizontally under the loading docks. Once we exposed the foundation wall all the way to the footing, the team then chipped out some of the footings so we could install our Helical Piers to stabilize the foundation. After we installed the 11 piers along the foundation wall the team then began coring out concrete from the foundation wall. We cored a series of 5 holes to be installed under the 22' wide loading dock and then we cored 4 more holes for the second loading dock that will be 18' wide. These holes will allow us to install our Helical Piers through the foundation wall and stabilize it. After we installed a galvanized plate to the end of the pier and tightened it against the foundation to stabilize the wall. Lastly, the team called the inspector so they could have records for the town. After the inspector did their inspection of our work and confirmed our work we then backfilled and tamped dirt over the piers we installed.

After the project was complete, the business was able to start installing its new loading docks. 

This homeowner in Auburn, New Hampshire, was the original owner of the home that was built in 2005. A few months ago, the homeowner noticed a crack forming on the foundation wall. Over the next few months, they kept a close eye on the crack and saw that over a short amount of time, the crack had grown to almost twice the size. They were concerned that something bad could happen if they allowed this to continue without it being looked at. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist Jason Vachon met with the homeowners and inspected the basement to find that the crack on the foundation wall was because the wall was shifting. After his inspection, Jason recommends installing 3 Geolocks on the foundation wall and installing FlexiSpan over the crack on the wall. 

Our Installation Team led by Eric Witham began by creating a trench in the yard 10' away from the foundation wall where the crack was found. Once the trench was about 6' deep the team returned to the basement and measured where they would install the 3 Geolocks. We separated the Geolocks by 3-4 feet to capture and stabilize the entire wall. We sent galvanized steel from inside the basement through the foundation wall and the ground to the trench in the yard. Once all three rods were in the trench the team then used galvanized plates on both sides of the rod and tightened them until they were tight. After the rods were tightened we backfilled the trench and installed the FlexiSpan over the crack. This will prevent water from entering the basement. 

The homeowner was very pleased with the results of the project. 

This homeowner in Epping, New Hampshire, had EFS come out to their home to install a perimeter drainage system in their basement to prevent water from collecting inside the basement. During the installation of the perimeter drainage, our team noticed that the block foundation wall of the home was leaning inward. Our team showed the potential issue to the homeowner and explained their concerns and the products that we have that could solve the problem.

The home was built in 1956 and was built on a masonry block foundation that is starting to bow inward. To solve this problem our team recommended installing 4 PowerBraces against the foundaiton wall in the basement to stabilize it. 

Our Installation Team led by Eric Witham, began by chipping out small sections of concrete at the base of the foundation wall so we could install our bottom bracket which will be used as the fulcrum for our PowerBraces. Next, our team installed the galvanized I beam into the bottom bracket and then proceeded to install our Top Bracket into the floor system above. Once the Top Bracket was secured into the floor system the team then attached the rest of the PowerBrace to the bracket and began to tighten the top bracket to stabilize the foundation wall. 

The homeowners were very pleased with the results of the project and how EFS took the initiative to diagnose potential issues during an installation. 

A homeowner in Stratham, New Hampshire, purchased their home in 2005. After living in the house for about 18 years, they watched TV one night and saw a commercial about the radon gas inside your home. This commercial resonated with the homeowners and they began to worry about the potential of having a harmful gas inside their home. The homeowners did some research on the effects of radon and decided to call EFS for us to come and test their home. Our Design Specialist dropped a radon test kit at the home and then waited 48 hours for the test to be complete before returning to the house and going over the results with the homeowner. Bryan met with the homeowners and showed them the results of the test averaged around 15 pCi/L, he then recommended and designed a radon mitigation system for their home. 

Our Installation Team led by Branden Edwards began by creating 2 extraction points in the basement. The reason we did two extraction points instead of just one is because of the levels averaging around 15 pCi/L. If we had just done one extraction point we run the risk of not being able to lower the radon to below 4.0 pCi/L. After the extraction points were made the team then fit PVC pipe to them and then fed them to the exterior of the home. Once to the exterior of the home, the team then installed the radon fan to the exterior of the home. We then connected the PVC pipe to the radon fan and then vented the system above the roofline. 

With the system installed and running the home was retested a few weeks after installation to determine the effectiveness of the system. When retested the radon levels were below 4.0 pCi/L and this made the homeowner feel very relieved. 

This homeowner in Plaistow, New Hampshire, has lived in their home for the past 20 years. Recently they found out that one of their neighbors had just been diagnosed with lung cancer. The homeowners became worried and decided to call EFS to have a radon test to check the levels of radon in their home. Our Design Specialist dropped off a 48-hour radon test kit to test the levels of radon inside their home. After the test was complete our Design Specialist Isaac Hernandez returned to the home and went over the results with the homeowner. The results of the test indicated an average of 5.3 pCi/L which was above the recommended amount. Isaac recommended installing a radon mitigation system in the home to lower the radon levels.

Our Installation Team led by Branden Edwards began by creating an extraction point into the slab in the basement. Attached to the extraction point is PVC pipe and the pipe will be fed to the exterior of the home. Once to the exterior of the home the team installed the radon fan to the outside of the home. The team then connected the PVC pipe to the radon fan and then vented the entire system above the roofline of the home. With the system installed the team then retested the home and the results came back below 4.0 pCi/L.

This homeowner in Brentwood, New Hampshire, has lived in their home for the past 7 years and had seen existing cracks in their basement, but now are seeing water start to enter the basement. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their home. Our Design Specialist Jason Vachon met with the homeowners and inspected the basement. After his inspection, Jason recommended installing a perimeter drainage system, FlexiSpan, and Crack Injection to waterproof the basement. Additionally, Jason recommended installing 9 Push Piers to the foundation to stabilize it. 

Our installation team began by chipping out over 100 feet of concrete around the perimeter of the basement so we could install our WaterGuard and our 2 sump pumps. This will allow us to collect any water that attempts to enter the basement and then pump it outside the basement. We also sealed some cracks on the foundation wall with FlexiSpan and Crack Injection to stop water from penetrating into the basement. After the perimeter drainage system was installed the team then began exposing the foundation to find existing push piers from another company. These piers had failed because not enough were installed. Our team installed 9 Push Piers to the foundation of the home to prevent further movement. After, we backfilled the Piers with the dirt we had removed and returned the soil back to its original grading. 

The homeowner was very pleased with the results of the installation of the Push Piers and Perimeter Drainage System. They no longer have to worry about water entering the basement or the foundation settling anymore. 

This homeowner in Londonderry, New Hampshire, had lived in their home for the past 5 years. Since they moved into their home they have seen water entering the basement. To try and stop the water the homeowners have installed a few things that should've reduced the amount of water coming into the basement. They installed gutters and downspouts in their home to collect water but the water collected didn't prevent more from entering the basement. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowner and inspected their home. We recommended installing a SuperSump and IceGuard to collect any water that threatened to enter the basement. 

Our installation team led by Steve Dumais began by chipping out a small section of concrete in the basement slab. After the concrete was chipped to the size of our sump pump basin we dug down a couple of feet until our basin would fit flush with the rest of the basement slab. Once the basin was fully installed we then installed the SuperSump and began plumbing the system to the exterior of the home. After the system was plumbed to the exterior of the home, we installed an IceGuard and Exterior Drainage Line to carry water away from the foundation.

This homeowner in Londonderry, New Hampshire purchased their home in 1998. After living in the home for over 20 years they found that they had some settlement in the floor system of their home. The homeowner wanted to address this concern but first wanted to solve the issue of moisture in the crawlspace before fixing the beam. The homeowners called EFS for a free inspection of their crawlspace. Our Design Specialist Tom Armano met with the homeowners and then inspected the crawlspace so he could find a solution to their problem. After Tom's inspection, he recommended installing SmartPipe, SmartSump, IceGuard, CleanSpace, and a SaniDry Sedona into the crawlspace.

Our Installation team led by Abdou Taal began by digging out the perimeter of the crawlspace so we could install 160' of SmartPipe. After the perimeter drainage was installed the team then installed the SmartSump into the crawlspace so we could pump out any water collected by the drainage system. After the drainage system was installed the team then plumbed the system to the exterior of the home and installed our IceGuard and Exterior Drainage Line to carry water away from the foundation. Then the team returned inside the crawlspace and installed 1735 sqft of CleanSpace so we could encapsulate the space. After the space was fully encapsulated the last part of the job was to install our SaniDry Sedona so we could control the humidity inside the crawlspace. With everything installed, the homeowners can now plan to fix the beam that is settling.
