Your Professional Rye, NH Expert in Concrete Leveling & Foundation Repairs

A homeowner in Rye, New Hampshire, lives in a home that was built over 100 years ago. They purchased the home 55 years ago and need to start repairing the house in phases to keep it in good condition to leave to their children. The first phase they wanted to start with was to replace the supports in the basement to strengthen the floor system. The homeowners called EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowners and examined the basement and the supports and recommended replacing the wooden supports with galvanized steel supports. 

Our installation team began by removing the old wooden supports. Then we created footings for our supports and installed our SmartJacks under the main beam in the home. After the new supports were in place we used the adjustable top to lift and level the floor system. Once the system was installed we then poured concrete over the footings to lock each support into place. 

The homeowners were very pleased with the results of the project and can now move on to another phase of the project. 

A homeowner was in the process of purchasing their home in Rye, New Hampshire. They had put an offer on the home but wanted to check the radon levels inside before they purchased it. They tested the basement and confirmed their suspicion. The radon levels were higher than they would have liked. They ended up purchasing the home and then had Erickson Foundation Solutions come out to design a radon system for their new home. Our Design Specialist Jared Pavluvcik met with the homeowners and designed a radon system with 2 extraction points that will lower the radon levels inside the home to a comfortable level. 

Our installation team led by Steven Dumais began by creating two radon extraction points. The team used a 3" core drill to make 2 circular holes in the slab. After the extraction points were made we installed PVC pipe to each point. Next, the team linked the two pipes and fed the pipes to the exterior of the home. With the PVC pipe fed to the exterior of the home, we were then able to install our Radon Fan to the pipe and then vent the system above the roofline of the home. Venting the system above the roofline will eliminate any risk of any radon from re-entering the home. 

The homeowners were very pleased with the results of the project. The levels inside their home were reduced to a comfortable level below the National Radon Defenses limits for radon levels. 

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.

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. The owner has seen the slab in the garage cracking and sinking and reached out to their garage neighbors to see if they had the same issues. They did have very similar issues so the owner facilitated contacting EFS for a free inspection of the garages. Our Design Specialist Jason met with the owners and inspected the garages to propose a solution. Jason recommended lifting and leveling, repairing cracks, and patching some concrete on the exterior of the garage. Since their an HOA the owners had to present Jason's recommendations to the board and the board had to sign off on it. Once the work was signed off on, we were able to schedule the work to be done. 

Our installation team began by using PolyLevel to lift and level the slab in each of the garage bays. Next, the team began to seal the cracks in the slab by using NexusPro. Lastly, the team addressed a section of concrete on the exterior of the garage and repaired it by using a concrete surface patch.

The owners and the board members were impressed with the results of the project.

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. 

This homeowner in Rye, New Hampshire was experiencing moderate seepage and puddling, dampness, and humidity in the basement/crawlspace. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Tom Armano inspected the home for cracks, water stains, and other signs of water entering the basement/crawlspace. Tom recommended installing a Triple Safe Sump, Water Guard, and CleanSpace into the basement/crawlspace to help with the moisture. 

Crew Lead Edward Nadreau and his team arrived at the home. They installed the Triple Safe Sump and Water Guard into the basement and installed CleanSpace into the crawlspace.
