Expert Leaky Basement Repair Services in Bedford

Val N. has lived in his Bedford, New Hampshire home for over 13 years. One day, when he was getting his home tested, it was pointed out to him that his chimney had started pulling away from his home. This, along with wall and settlement cracks can often go unnoticed or overlooked, especially if it is a very gradual process. With these cracks, sinking, and other signs becoming significantly more noticeable, Val wanted to take action to stabilize his home.

Our Design Specialist, Victor Tapia, recommended using Push Piers to uplift, level, and stabilize the foundation of his basement, ultimately providing support to the rest of the home. Often times, when a home's foundation is built on poor soil, voids can form underneath the settlement due to shifting of that soil, whether it be from erosion or other factors. This is what causes the home to sink, and that is when cracks and other signs become noticeable. To solve this problem, our team installed the Push Piers, which are drilled deep into the ground until they reach soil that can adequately support the foundation of the home. Once that is in place, these piers are attached to the settlement, and then further pushed down into the supportive soil. This lifts the slab and restores the sinking home.

With the Push Piers now rooted in durable soil, a permanent solution to the sinking home and chimney has been reached. Val was thrilled!

A home in Bedford, New Hampshire was placed on the market by the seller. A prospective buyer came in and put in an offer on the home pending a home inspection. The home inspector came in and performed a full inspection and report of the home. The report indicated that the foundation wall had some cracks that were concerning. The potential buyer recoiled and wanted to know more about issues with the foundation. To gain knowledge about the wall and some potential solutions the buyer and seller agreed to call EFS for a free inspection of the foundation of the home.

Our Design Specialist Jason Vachon met with the two parties and looked at the foundation of the home. Jason noticed the block foundation was bowing slightly and his recommendation was to install Geolocks on the foundation wall and have the other end installed in the yard to stabilize and straighten the foundation wall. The buyer and seller received the quote and worked out a deal between themselves for EFS to install our solution.

Our installation team began by marking where each of the 6 Geolocks would be installed on the bowing foundation wall. After the wall was marked our team started digging a trench 10 feet away from the foundation wall. This will allow us to the soil in between the foundation wall and the trench as leverage to stabilize and straighten the foundation wall. We then sent a galvanized rod through the foundation wall and into the trench. We attached a Geolock plate to either side of the rod and then began to tighten bolts on either side of the threaded rod to start straightening the foundation wall. Once straightened the team then backfilled the trench and tamped down the soil. 

The buyer and seller were very impressed with the result of the project. 

A homeowner in Bedford, New Hampshire had purchased their home two years ago. Since then, the basement has flooded three times - once in the first year and twice this past year. To prevent further flooding, the homeowner contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions for a free inspection of their basement. Victor Tapia, our Design Specialist, looked in the basement to find a solution to prevent further water intrusion and flooding. After the inspection, Victor recommended installing WaterGuard, Trench Drain, TripleSafe Sump Pump, IceGuard, and a buried exterior discharge line into the cellar.

Our installation team started by chipping out 185 feet of concrete around the basement's perimeter using a jackhammer. Then they dug down a few inches to accommodate our perimeter drainage into the trench. After that, they installed crushed stone and the drainage into the trench. In the basement's lowest point, our team removed enough concrete and dirt to install our basin for our TripleSafe. Once the basin was set, we plumbed the sump pump to the home's exterior where we installed our two IceGuards and 25 feet of Exterior Drainage Line. After setting up the exterior drainage, they mixed up concrete and covered the perimeter drainage around the sump pump with it to lock it into place.

The homeowners were happy with the installation of the perimeter drainage system in their basement. They no longer have to worry about that area flooding during periods of rain.

A homeowner in Bedford, New Hampshire recently bought their forever home. The house was built in 2000, and the homeowners noticed signs of water getting into the basement during the open house before they purchased it. After owning the home for a month, they decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist, Isaac Hernandez, met with the homeowners to discuss their concerns and goals. After the conversation, Isaac inspected the basement to find a solution for their forever home. He recommended installing a perimeter drainage system to collect any water that enters the basement.

Our installation team, led by Gunther Billhardt, started by chipping out 50 feet of concrete along the back foundation wall to create a space for installing the perimeter drainage and sump pump. The team used a jackhammer to break up the concrete and installed 48 feet of WaterGuard into the trench.

Next, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump at one end of the drainage system to collect any water that the drainage might gather and send it outside the house. We also plumbed the sump pump outside the home, where we installed 2 IceGuards and buried 10' of Exterior Drainage Line directed away from the foundation.

After the exterior drainage was installed, our team returned to the basement to install the CleanSpace Wall System along the back foundation wall. The wall system collects water from the wall and guides it into the perimeter drainage and then into the sump pump. Our team also installed our SaniDry Sedona next to the TripleSafe.

Finally, the team mixed concrete and covered the perimeter drainage and around the TripleSafe to lock everything into place. The homeowners were thrilled with the project's results and relieved that they no longer had to worry about water entering their forever home's basement.

A homeowner in Bedford, New Hampshire has lived in their home for over 35 years. For years, they have experienced water entering their basement during heavy rainstorms.

Our Design Specialist, Josh Phillips, met with the homeowners and conducted a full inspection of the basement. After inspecting the basement, Josh recommended installing a full-perimeter drainage system that would collect any water from the walls or seep up from under the slab and pump it to the outside of the home.

Our Installation Team, led by Abdou Taal, began by chipping out over 100' of concrete around the perimeter of the basement for our WaterGuard perimeter drainage and TripleSafe sump pump. Once the concrete was removed and enough dirt was excavated for our drainage and sump pump to be installed, we began to lay the 135 feet of WaterGuard in the trench and link the drainage with our three-pump TripleSafe. After the pump and drainage were in place, the team plumbed the sump pump to the exterior of the home, where we installed two IceGuards and a buried exterior drainage line to carry water away from the foundation of the home. After installing the exterior drainage, the team returned to the basement to mix and pour concrete over the perimeter drainage and around the basin of the sump pump to secure everything in place. Lastly, we installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier in the basement and connected the discharge line to the sump pump basin. The basement was now fully protected from water.

The homeowners were very satisfied with the installation of the perimeter drainage system and no longer had to worry about water collecting inside the basement.

This homeowner in Bedford, New Hampshire, has lived in their home for the past 40+ years. This year they had seen water in their basement of the early 1900s home for the first time ever. The homeowner called EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist Josh Phillips met with the homeowner and talked about their concerns and goals for the project. After his talk with the homeowners, he inspected the basement and then recommended installing a perimeter drainage system that included WaterGuard, a TripleSafe, an IceGuard, SaniDry Sedona, and an Exterior Drainage Line in the basement. 

Our Installation team led by Gunther and Paul began by chipping out 30 feet of concrete so we could install our perimeter drainage and sump pump. Once the concrete was chipped and the debris was removed the team then installed the WG and TripleSafe. Next, the team plumbed the sump pump to the exterior of the home where we installed our IceGuard and EDL. This will carry the water away from the foundation of the home. After the drainage was installed, the team returned inside the basement and covered the WaterGuard and around the TripleSafe with concrete. After the concrete cures, the team installed the SaniDry Sedona into the basement to control the moisture in the basement. 

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

A homeowner in Bedford, New Hampshire had lived in their home for 37 years without any water entering their basement. However, for the last three years, they have had to use a shop vac to clean up water after heavy rainstorms. Tired of this, the homeowner called EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist, Anthony Brancato, met with the homeowner and created a solution to prevent water from collecting in their basement. The solution included 33' of WaterGuard, a TripleSafe, IceGuard, and 50' of Exterior Discharge Line. 

Our Installation Team led by Steve Dumais began by chipping out concrete in the basement so we could install our perimeter drainage and sump pump. Once we chipped and dug out enough concrete and dirt the team was able to install the drainage and sump pump into the basement. Once in the basement, the team then plumbed the system to the exterior of the home where we installed the IceGuard and Exterior Drainage Line. After we installed the IG and EDL we buried the drainage line in the yard so we can carry water away from the foundation with little to no disruption. Then the team mixed up concrete and poured it over the WaterGuard and around the TripleSafe to lock them in place. 

The homeowner was pleased with the results of the project. They no longer have to shop vac water out of the basement for hours. 

A homeowner in Bedford, New Hampshire, had moved into their home 7 years and since they moved in they have seen water entering from one part of their basement. The homeowners were tired of cleaning up water from around their water heater and decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist recommended installing 17' of WaterGuard, 20' of CleanSpace, and TrenchLock into the basement to stop water from collecting on the floor in the basement. 

Our installation team began by chipping out the concrete on the wall and around the water heater. The team then installed CleanSpace along the wall before then installing the WaterGuard along the bottom of the wall. Once the WaterGuard was installed the team then installed the TrenchLock around the water heater. After the TrenchLock and WaterGuard were installed the team performed a water test before setting the drainage system in concrete.

A homeowner in Bedford, New Hampshire, had lived in their home for 40 years. When they moved into their 1940s home 40 years ago they had already seen water entering spots in the basement. Water has been entering the basement near the water heater. They have endured this issue for too many years and have finally decided they want the problems solved. They called EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist Victor recommended installing WaterGuard, TripleSafe, SaniDry, and IceGuard.

Our production team began by removing concrete along the wall near the water heater. We removed just over 30' of concrete from the base of the foundation wall so we could install our WaterGuard to collect any water that tries to enter the basement. In the corner of the basement, the team dug a basin to install the TripleSafe sump pump. The sump pump will collect any water from the WaterGuard and pump it outside of the home through the IceGuard and then through the exterior drainage line. To control the humidity in the basement the team installed a SaniDry. The team installed the SaniDry right next to the sump pump so they could install the drainage line straight into the basin.

The homeowners were very pleased with the results of the project. Erickson Foundation Solutions solved a 40-year issue in only a couple of days of work.

Our Design Specialist Jason design a radon system for their home.

Our production team began by creating an extraction point in the basement by creating a small hole in the slab. The team then attached a PVC pipe to the extraction point and lead that pipe to the exterior of the home where we connect the PVC pipe to the radon fan. The radon fan was installed on the side of the home and rest of the system was vented above the roofline of the home. 

The homeowners were very pleased with the installation of the radon mitigation system in their home. The team completed the job within a couple of hours and made sure to leave the home cleaner than they found it. 

A homeowner in Bedford, New Hampshire, has lived in their home for the past couple of months.
