Reliable Concrete Repair & Foundation Repair Company serving Medford, MA

A homeowner in Medford, Massachusetts, has lived in there for the past 3 years. The home was built in the early 1900s and the homeowner has been making renovations to the home since they purchased it. During the renovations in their basement, they noticed one of the beams in the basement was cracked. They wanted to make sure that they add extra support before continuing with their renovations. The homeowners call EFS for a free inspection of their home. Our Design Specialist Kenny inspected the home and recommended adding a couple of SmartJacks under the cracked beam to stabilize it. 

Our installation team began by chipping out a small section of concrete so we can install our footings. Once chipped out the team will remove some dirt so our big footings will sit flush under the concrete. The team made sure the footing was level before installing the SmartJack to the beam. Once connected to the beam the team tightened the adjustable top of the SmartJack to support the beam. After the SmartJacks have tightened the team then mixed up some concrete and poured it over the SmartJack's footing to lock them in place. 

A homeowner in Medford, Massachusetts, recently purchased their home in October 2022. They had a home inspector do a pre-purchase inspection. The inspector recommended testing their home for radon. The homeowners decided to call a local company that installs radon mitigation systems into homes. The company that the homeowners reached out to was Erickson Foundation Solutions. Our Design Specialist Josh dropped a CRM test kit off at the home 48 hours before his appointment with the homeowners. On the day of the appointment, Josh arrived at the home and started his inspection. Josh first reviewed the CRM test results, the results came back at 2.4 pCi/L which isn't above the threshold of being harmful. The homeowners still would like to bring that number down to as close to zero as possible. Josh, designed a radon mitigation system specifically for their home. 

Our production team began by chipping a small hole in the slab in the basement. This hole will be the extraction point for the radon mitigation system. The team then attached a PVC pipe to the extraction point and began connecting PVC piping. The team used several feet of PVC piping until navigating the piping to the exterior of the home. Once outside, the team installed the Radon Fan to the side of the home and connected the PVC pipe to the fan. After the team vented the system above the roofline of the home. 

The homeowner was happy that they don't have to worry about the radon levels in their home. 

A homeowner in Medford, Massachusetts, lived in a family home that has been owned for over 40 years. The home was built in the 1880s and about 10 years ago the homeowner noticed settlement in their garage slab. The homeowner would like to have their basement redone but would like to have the garage slab repaired first. A neighbor recommended having their pool guy look at the concrete. The homeowner met with the pool guy but didn't think they were the right person for the job. The homeowner then reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions to have us come look at their concrete problems. Our design specialist recommended installing PolyLevel to level the slab and repair the garage apron. 

Our production team began by drilling portholes into the garage slab. The portholes will allow PolyLevel to be injected underneath the garage slab to lift and level it. The team had drilled the portholes in a grid pattern around the garage slab. Then the team started injecting PolyLevel into each porthole to slowly lift and level the garage slab. After the slab was lifted the team moved on to repairing the garage apron. The team chipped out the apron of the garage and poured a new apron at the front of the garage. 

The homeowner was happy that their garage slab was repaired and looks great. The homeowner can now schedule an appointment to have the garage redone.
