Responsible Foundation Repair, Radon Mitigation Company Serving Middlesex County, MA

Moving to a new home takes a lot preparation and time. This is especially true when moving across the country. Jim G. was moving along with his family from Texas all the way to Acton, Massachusetts. After purchasing their new home, Jim was doing his best to ensure everything was prepared and ready for them upon arrival on move-in day. One of the items he needed to check off his list was installing a radon mitigation system, since the home did test high with levels more than 4.0 pci/l.

Jim reached out to Erickson Foundation Supportworks a little more than a month before their expected move-in date. Since he was out of state, he connected our team with his local realtor, who allowed our specialist to inspect the home and design an appropriate mitigation system.

The home had multiple zones in the basement area, and so two extraction points were required to properly mitigate the home. 

Our installation team was able to complete installation of the proposed radon mitigation system in a single day, and do so before Jim and his family arrived. By the time the new homeowners moved in, they had peace of mind knowing the air quality was improved and the dangers of radon were eliminated. 

This homeowner in Wilmington, Massachusetts has been living in their 1920's home for 18 months. The floors in their home are slanted and unstable.

They fear that the floor could collapse at any moment.  To help find a solution they decided to call Erickson Foundation Supportworks.

Erickson Design Specialist John Prince came to inspect the home to see the condition of the supports. He found that the supports of the home weren't in great condition. The supports were missing footings and some weren't supporting anything. John Prince suggested that they install SmartJacks and EZ Posts Helical Piers. The Crew Lead Scott Crandall and his team successfully installed the SmartJack and EZ Posts Helical Piers to permanently fix their floor problems. The supports they added leveled the floor and made it solid as a rock.

Fixing this issue was very important to the homeowners. Finding a permanent fix to this issue allows them to continue adding upgrades to their "fixer-upper".

John N. of Stoneham, Massachusetts was having an issue where one corner of his home was settling and needed to be jacked back up. Because of the house settling in one corner, it had caused additional damage to other areas of the home. The Erickson Team designed a great system to provide John with a permanent fix to his foundation concerns. 

The production team, lead by Josh Provost, started by exposing the foundation.  Eight helical piers were attached to stabilize and raise the home.  PolyLevel freeze guard spray was also installed to help fill and seal the gap between the dirt and the foundation. Next, they moved to the interior  basement and fixed a crack that was caused by the foundation settling. After sealing the cracks they addressed the supports holding the main beam up. The team installed three Smart Jacks to support the interior beam of the home.

In the end, the homeowner was happy with the results of all the repairs and thrilled to have a fully stabilized home.

PolyLevel would be a much cheaper alternative to replacing the entire stoop, and would be a permanent fix.

The crew, Chris Hanulec and Nick Melo, successfully lifted and leveled the stoop, and sealed the cracks, all in one day. During the couple hours it took to install the PolyLevel, the homeowners were very interested in how the system worked. They came and took a look at the progress Chris and Nick were making every so often and they were impressed with the process every time.

Ultimately, the stoop was lifted several inches and brought to near level.

The other two companies couldn't help Phyllis with her home's problems.

Design Specialist Brian Allen came to the home and inspected all the cracks inside and out. Brian proposed a solution to Phyllis. The solution was to use Push Piers to lift the house and then use PolyLevel to fill the gap underneath the foundation.

Crew Leads Nick Melo and Spencer Ladd came to the home to install the PolyLevel and the Push Piers to counteract the settlement. Phyllis was given peace of mind when the Erickson Crew finished repairing her home.
