Responsible Foundation Repair, Radon Mitigation Company Serving Strafford County, NH

Daniel H. of Farmington New Hampshire had experienced sagging floors in his home. He had known of this issue for a while and finally decided to fix it. 

Design Specialist Paul Magowan came to the home and found out that the support was compromised by insects. Paul proposed that they have SmartJacks installed in their basement. 

Crew Lead Jon Provost and his team came to the home and installed four SmartJacks into the basement of the home. The SmartJacks were installed and were able to boost up the house and level out the sagging floor.

Homeowner Markus R. purchased this home in Dover, NH in late 2020. Upon testing for radon levels in his home, Markus learned that the levels were around 8 pci/l, which is 4 levels above the recommended. He reached out to several companies for quotes for installation of a radon mitigation system. 

Design Specialist Royce Potts provided an exceptional inspection process and quote, and so Markus chose Erickson to complete the radon system for him. 

The installation process was completed by crew lead Branden Edwards, who finished the project in a single day. Based off of Royce's design, Branden was able to install all the necessary pipes in the basement area and up over the roofline, where the harmful radon would vent out. Additionally, when Branden was up on his ladder, he noticed the gutter was clogged up with debris, and so took it upon himself to clean it out for Markus. 

With a radon mitigation system in place, and a clean gutter as a bonus, Markus was very satisfied with the results of the project.

Chris S. of Durham, NH was experiencing some foundational issues under their garage that caused the concrete ceiling to start to crumble. Chris called EFS to see if they could assist in fixing his garage. Design Specialist, Nate Erickson, came out to the property and inspected the garage to see what is causing the ceiling to start to crumble. Nate found that in a cellar under the garage there is a crack that is caused the foundation to weaken. The crack has weakened the foundation which has caused movement and cracked the ceiling. Nate proposed that the Erickson Crew install a galvanized sheet to cover the crumbling ceiling, then installed a couple of beams that will span the width of the garage to secure the ceiling. Then to finish it off install PolyLEVEL to stabilize and level the foundation. 

Crew Lead Scott Crandall and his team came to the home and installed the galvanized sheets on the ceiling and then installed a couple of I-beams across the width of the garage.

After the sheets and I-beams were installed, a second crew came to the home. The PolyLEVEL Crew led by Nick Melo came to the home and injected PolyLEVEL into the areas that were out of level. 

Chris was happy to see that his garage was structurally sound again.

The homeowners of this 1985 home were seeing some 45 degree cracks in their second floor bedroom doors at the corners on both sides. There were some additional cracks in the closets and some nails popping in the stairwell. They were looking to get their home inspected to be sure they didn't have any serious foundation problems. One other thing to note is they two sump pumps, and fairly wet ground around the house which has been partially remediated but guttering and pouring a new basement floor in the addition portion of the house which was built in 1996. The homeowners were looking to renovate the upstairs but wanted to make sure they had no structural issues first.

Design specialist Brian Allen inspected the basement area of the home to determine why cracks were forming upstairs, and proposed the ideal solution for stabilizing the sinnking and settling areas of support. The lally columns under the main support beam in the home were gradually settling, and not providing the home with enough resistance and support. As the columns sank down, cracks in the drywall started appearing above in the home.

Our production team, led by Nick Carelli, installed several SmartJacks under the main support beam. The SmartJacks were placed over a secure footing of engineered fill to ensure they were properly supported for the weight of the home above. Additionally, they assisted the homeowner with better sealing the concrete around his existing sump pumps. 

The with floor fully stabilized, the homeowners were able to begin their remodeling plans in their home.

Homeowner James C. of Barrington was anxious to resolve his concerns with high radon levels in his home. He tested twice over the course of a year, and levels ranged between 5.8 and 13.8, well above the EPA's recommended level of 4.0 pci/l. James and his wife were planning to work from home more often, and so really wanted to improve the air quality where they would be spending the majority of their time. They received several quotes from contractors, and the most important factors to him were price, quality, and competency. 

Design specialist Michael LaMalfa provided James with a thorough inspection and detailed proposal for the radon mitigation system his home needed to help lower the levels of radon. Ultimately, James chose our Erickson team to install the radon mitigation system his home needed.

The home had a large footprint and so required two extraction points in order to ensure the radon levels were properly lowered. Crew lead Scott Crandall and his team successfully installed the entire system in a single day, and James has had peace of mind knowing his radon levels are now safely below 4.0pci/l.

Daniel H. of Farmington, New Hampshire was experiencing sagging floors. He called Erickson Foundation Solutions about a free inspection.

Design Specialist Paul Magowan came to Daniel's home and inspected his basement to see what could be done about the sagging floors. After the inspection, Paul proposed to install Smart Jacks. 

Crew Lead Jon Provost and his team came to Daniel's home and installed the Smart Jacks into the basement to stabilize the main support beam. 

Sharon and Paul D. of Farmington, New Hampshire recently purchased their home. They received a radon test when they purchased their home. The levels from the test came back at 7.9 pCi/L, which is high. They decided to call Erickson Foundation Solutions to see if someone could come out and educate them on Radon. The reason that Sharon and Paul want to hear more about a radon mitigation system is that one of their parents is coming for a visit. Paul and Sharon don't want to expose them to anything harmful. 

Design Specialist Paul Magowan came to the home and inspected the basement. He proposed that installing a radon mitigation system would help bring down the 7.9 pCi/l to a healthier level. The goal would be to have the pCi/l below 4.0 pCi/L, and Paul Magowan feels confident that a radon mitigation system will do that. 

Crew Lead Branden Edwards came to the home and installed the radon mitigation system into the basement. Sharon and Paul were very pleased to have the radon mitigation system installed before the parents arrived.

Sharon B. of Somersworth, NH had a home that had been with her family for 4 years. Her daughter also lived in the home, and they were planning to finish the basement area in order to create more living space for the grandchildren to play. The basement was damp and showed signs of mold concerns, especially in the spring when the ground outside was wet and humidity was up. Before making plans to remodel and finish the basement, they wanted to address this moisture concern. The last thing they wanted to happen was complete their finished space and have it destroyed by water.

Design specialist Jason Vachon met with the family to discuss their concerns and inspect the basement area. Jason designed a waterproofing system that would eliminate the risk of water damaging any of the basement and keep the moisture levels low. Jason also discovered signs of settlement, as well as noticed the front foundation wall was bowing in slightly, something to keep an eye on for future movement.

For the time being, Sharon and the family decided to complete the waterproofing aspect of the project. A Fast Drain and sump pump system was installed along the length of the wall that showed signs of water entering. Any water entering here in the future would be pumped out and discharged far away from the home's foundation walls. They will also keep an eye on the foundation wall cracks and the bowing wall. In time, they may also need to address these concerns before the problems or cracks get worse.

This homeowner in Lee, New Hampshire was experiencing radon levels in their basement between 8-9 pCi/L. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Stephen Caron arrived at the home and inspected the basement and designed a radon system with 2 extraction points. Stephen also found several long cracks on the wall and floor of the basement and recommended sealing them.

Crew Lead Branden Edwards and his team arrived at the home and installed a radon system with 2 extraction points and sealed the cracks. 

This homeowner in Dover, New Hampshire was experiencing deteriorating fieldstone in their investment property. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection.

Design Specialist Jason Vachon arrived at the home and inspected the basement. Jason recommended installing an auxiliary wall to the fieldstone foundation to stop the wall from deteriorating from the inside. The basement also needed masonry block repair and over 100' of Water Guard and a Super Sump to be installed. 

Crew Lead Spencer Ladd and his crew arrived at the home and installed the auxiliary wall to the fieldstone foundation. The team also repaired the masonry blocks that needed attention. Finally, the team installed Water Guard and a Super Sump System. 

This homeowner in Dover, New Hampshire has wanted a man cave in his home. He was planning on creating a finished area in his basement but his basement would frequently have water in it because of a crack in his foundation wall. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection.

Design Specialist Michael LaMalfa inspected the home and found that there are a couple of cracks in the foundation. Michael recommended sealing these cracks so the homeowner has the confidence to finish his dream of a man cave.

 Crew Lead Chris Hanulek and his team arrived at the home and injected Crack Seal into the foundation wall.

This homeowner in Dover, New Hampshire had their home hit by a car and needed some foundation and crack repair work done to their home. They were looking for a company that could fix everything at one time. The homeowner decided to call EFS because they had previously helped another home that was hit by a car.

Design Specialist Brian Swindell conducted an interior and exterior inspection of the home. Brian found cracks and movement caused by the car hitting the home. Brian recommended installing Geolocks and sealing the cracks in the foundation. 

Crew Lead Nick Carelli and his team arrived at the home and installed 5 Geolocks and 30' of crack sealant into the foundation wall. 

This homeowner in Farmington, New Hampshire was concerned about the radon levels in their home because of their young baby. To make sure that doesn't happen the homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Jason Vachon dropped off a radon test at the home. During the following days, the radon test continuously monitored the level of radon in the home. After the test was complete Jason came back to the home to collect the radon test and to go over the radon test results. The test results came back at 8.3 pCi/L which is high. Jason recommended installing a radon mitigation system in the home to help protect the new baby. 

Crew Lead Dillon Kingsbury installed a new radon mitigation system into the home. 

This homeowner in Durham, New Hampshire had recently inherited this home from his parents. He would like to have the home tested for radon. 

Design Specialist Michael LaMalfa brought a radon test to the home and set it up in the house to test how high the radon levels are in the home. When Michael came back to review the test results he found that the results were around 15 pCi/L. He recommended installing a radon mitigation system in the home. 

Crew Lead Dillon Kingsbury and his team installed a radon mitigation system into the house to bring down the radon levels to below 4 pCi/L.

A homeowner in Barrington, New Hampshire, had an issue where the floors in their home were sagging in various areas. The supports in the basement were timber and allowed the floors to sag and slope. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Our design specialist examined the floors and the supports and recommended installing SmartJacks with supplemental beams.

The crew installed 5 SmartJacks and 16 feet of supplemental beam.

A homeowner in New Durham, New Hampshire, had water coming into their finished basement. The water was ruining the finished space and the homeowners don't want to redo the basement again. 

Our design specialist recommended installing TripleSafe, WaterGuard, and IceGuard in the basement to collect the water and prevent it from ruining the finished space in the basement.

Our production crew installed The TripleSafe and WaterGuard into the basement in the basement and installed the IceGuard on the exterior of the home. 

The homeowner was relieved that their basement will no longer be damaged by unwanted water. 

A homeowner in Somersworth, Massachusetts, had some cracks in their foundation that they are concerned about. One year ago the home had the main beam replaced, and since then they have seen cracks in the foundation. Our design specialist Brian looked around the basement and the main living area of the home and found noticeable cracks in the foundation and other indications in the main living space. Our specialist recommended adding support to the foundation walls and under the main beam. 

Our production team installed PowerBraces on the foundation wall to strengthen the walls. The PowerBrace is a beam that is slightly taller than the foundation wall, the beam is mounted to the base of the wall with a plate and is secured into place by connecting to the joists. Using the bracket to connect to the joist the team can tighten the PowerBrace as much as they can to straighten a wall that has begun to bow. The team installed PowerBraces every few feet around the entire perimeter of the basement. After the team finished installing the PowerBraces the team began prepping to install the SmartJacks. To prep for the new supports, the team chipped out concrete where each SmartJack will rest. The team opens a 2'x2'x18" hole under the concrete and filled most of the hole with engineered fill then the top of the fill is covered with concrete for the SmartJack to rest on. Once the supports are connected to the main beam the team sets the footing of the SmartJack in concrete to lock them in place. Our team was able to address their foundation concerns and add stability to their foundation walls and the main beam of their home. 

Homeowners Carolin and Mark reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions after noticing the old, wooden beams in her crawl space were showing signs of rot and sagging. Her main concern was that the rot would eventually lead to the wood beams giving out and the floor, or entire home, would begin to sink or collapse. Rot also means their is moisture in the air, which means there is also poor air rising up into the living space as well. 

Our specialist, Jason Vachon, conducted a thorough inspection and provided Carolin with a thorough analysis of her entire crawl space basement area, all within a few hours. The main concern Jason identified were the sistered beams and lack of support. The beams and joists spanned large distances, and as the wood aged and showed signs of rot, they began to bend and crack. Overall, the first floor of the home was going to need more supports from within the crawl space in order to properly stabilize the floor system. 

Jason also recommended crawl space encapsulation to cover the dirt floor and foundation walls. CleanSpace would be the perfect fix to address the moisture coming into the crawl space through the walls. The vapor barrier system, combined with a SaniDry dehumidifier, would most certainly provide a permanent solution to the moisture and rot concerns being faced by this damp crawl space.

Carolin was impressed by Jason's professionalism and the solutions he provided throughout his inspection. 

A homeowner in Barrington, New Hampshire, had a detached garage that had some cracks in the foundation. The homeowner wanted to install a jacuzzi on the second floor of the garage but they were worried about the strength of the foundation and wanted to address some water concerns in the basement of their home. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection. Our design specialist Brian recommended several of our products to address all of the issues in their garage and basement. The products that Brian recommended using were PowerBraces, Geolocks, FlexiSpan, SmartJacks, NexusPro, UltraSump, and IceGuard. 

Our team started by addressing the foundation walls. They began by installing 4 PowerBraces to the foundation wall in the garage. The PowerBraces works by using an L bracket mounted on the floor to brace the I beam against the wall. Then by using our system mounted in the rafters we applied outward pressure to stabilize the wall. After the PowerBraces were installed the team began installing the lone Geolock behind the staircase in the garage. The team started by digging a trench 10' away from the wall. The team then sends a rod through the foundation wall into the trench. On either end of the rod, the team attached Geolock Plates. After the plates were secured the team tightened the rod using a power drill. Once the plates were tightened the team backfilled the trench. Next, the team installed FlexiSpan on the wall to address some vertical cracks. The team chipped out some concrete at the bottom of the crack. This will create a path for the water to travel away from the home. After the concrete is chipped out, the team installed porous foam over the length of the crack and set it in place with an impermeable membrane that adhered to the wall. Following the team installing the Flexispan in the garage the team began installing the SmartJack. The SmartJack will add support to the floor when the homeowners install the jacuzzi on the second floor of the garage. The team started by chipping out some concrete where the SmartJack were going to be installed. The team dug down and filled the hole they dug with engineered fill and concrete to create stabile footing. The team waited for the concrete to cure. After the concrete was cured the team attached the SmartJack to the main beam and over the new concrete footing. After the SmartJack was secured the team covered the footing of the SmartJack with concrete to make sure it won't move. Following the installation of the SmartJacks the team moved into the basement to install some waterproofing. 

The team installed FlexiSpan and NexusPro into the basement to seal up some cracks that are allowing water into the basement. Next, our team installed an Ultra Sump in the corner of the basement. Any water that entered the basement will be collected by the UltraSump. Attached to the drainage line out of the Ultra Sump is an IceGuard that will prevent water from freezing in the drainage line. 

The homeowners are happy with the results of the project. They no longer have to worry about water in their basement and foundation concerns in their detached garage. Now they can install the jacuzzi on the second floor of their garage.  

A homeowner in Dover, New Hampshire, was checking the mail one day when a letter showed it was radon awareness month in their mailbox. Inside the piece of mail, they said they would send a free radon test kit to their home. The homeowners filled out the piece of mail and sent it back to get their free radon test. When the homeowner finally received the radon test in the mail they set them up and proceeded to test their home. The results of the test were between 8.4-10.6 pCi/L, which is above the recommended amount. Our design specialist John noticed during his inspection that the home had a passive radon system. John recommended activating the passive system into an active radon mitigation system. 

Our production team began by finding the passive radon system in the home. The team checked what condition the system was in, and decided to redo the radon pipe with PVC piping. The radon system started in the basement and made its way through the home and into the attic where it is vented through the roof. The team installed the radon fan in the attic where radon-filled air is pushed out of the home by the radon fan. By activating the radon system the radon levels in the home were reduced.

The homeowners are happy they no longer have to worry about the radon levels in their home. 

A homeowner in Lee, New Hampshire, planned to remodel their finished basement. The basement currently had high moisture and water coming in. The homeowner wanted to stop the water from coming in and reduce the moisture in the basement before they start remodeling the space. Our design specialist Brian recommended installing FlexiSpan, an UltraSump, Ice Guard, WaterGuard, and a SaniDry into the basement to stop the water and moisture from entering the basement. 

Our waterproofing team began by setting up a trench for the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. The team used a jackhammer to chip out 42' of concrete big enough for our WaterGuard to be installed. The team fed the WaterGuard through the trench, they made sure to lead the WaterGuard to the area where we were installing the UltraSump. To install the UltraSump the team dug a basin big enough, then the team laid the sump pump into the basin and plumbed it. After the team plumbed the UltraSump they poured water down the WaterGuard to see if the water would collect in the sump and test the pump. After the team verified that the sump and perimeter drain worked, they moved on to seal a crack in the foundation that was allowing water into the basement. The team used FlexiSpan to seal the crack on the foundation wall. The FlexiSpan will act as a channel to collect the water that was entering through the crack and guide it into the perimeter drainage system. After the FlexiSpan was completed the team poured concrete over the WaterGuard and around the UltraSump basin to conceal it. The final step after the concrete cured was to install the SaniDry Sedona and connect its discharge line to the UltraSump. 

The homeowner is happy they can proceed with remodeling their basement without worrying about water entering their basement. 

A homeowner in Dover, New Hampshire had built this home in 1990. They have lived in the home for over 30 years and in late 2021 they noticed water entering their basement. The water has left the foundation wall looking unsightly so the homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our design specialist Jason examined where the water was entering the basement and recommended installing FlexiSpan over where the water was entering.

Our Crew Leader Anthony began by taping around the affected area. Then he chipped out some concrete at the base of the wall to create a drainage point for the FlexiSpan. After he chipped out the concrete, Anthony then laid the FlexiSpan over where the water was entering the basement. The FlexiSpan will collect the water in a channel and guide it down a drain. Once the FlexiSpan membrane was installed, Anthony then poured some crushed stone into where the drain was, then he tied in the FlexiSpan in with the drainage, and lastly mixed some concrete to seal it up.

The homeowners were happy that water will not be entering their basement anymore. 

A homeowner in Dover, New Hampshire, lived in a home that was built in the early 1900s. The foundation of the home is half fieldstone and half poured concrete. The homeowners have lived in the home for 10 years and have always had water entering their basement. They decided its time to repair the problem so they call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist Isaac recommended installing 50ft of WaterGuard, a SuperSump, IceGuard, SaniDry, and a buried downspout. 

Our production team began by chipping out the concrete along two of the walls in the basement. The team chipped out the concrete so they could install 50ft of WaterGuard. At the end of the WaterGuard, the team dug a basin to install our SuperSump to pump out the water that the WaterGuard collects. After the WaterGuard was laid against the wall and the SuperSump was installed into the basin, the team then poured concrete around the basin and over the WaterGuard to conceal the system. While the concrete was curing the team installed the SaniDry next to the WaterGuard. The team set the dehumidifier up so it will drain into the WaterGuard. The team then plumbed the SuperSump so it would drain the water away from the home. On the drainage line from the sump, the team used an IceGuard to prevent the drainage line from backing up into the basement. Continuing after the IceGuard, the team buried the drainage line away from the home. 

The homeowners were very pleased with the results of the project. They no longer have to worry about water entering their basement. 

A homeowner in Rochester, New Hampshire, had lived in their home for the past 20 years, and every year since they purchased the home they had water enter their basement during periods of rain. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist Jason inspected the home and recommended installing perimeter drainage around half of the basement and tying that into a new Super Sump, and then installing a FlexiSpan, and a Crack Monitor. 

Our production team started by installing a Supers Sump into the basement and then they installed 52ft of WaterGuard around half of the basement. After, the team then installed FlexiSpan to the foundation crack in the wall. After the WaterGuard, Super Sump, and FlexiSpan were installed, the team then installed a Crack Monitor and plumbed the drainage line for the Super Sump. 

The homeowners were very pleased with the results of the project. They no longer have to worry about water entering their basement. Our crew took two days to install our products and prevent water from entering the basement permanently. 

A homeowner in Rochester, New Hampshire, lives in a home that was built in 2004. The homeowner moved into the home in 2016 and then a couple of years later they started to notice cracks in the interior walls of the home. They contacted a structural engineer to see what was wrong with their home. They found that there isn't a foundation footing under their garage or their great room. The engineer declared the home as a structural failure. With this new information, the homeowners were forced to call a foundation company in their area. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their home. Our Design Specialist Victor provided a full inspection of their home while using the information that the engineer provided to the homeowners. Victor recommended installing Push Pier around the home and using PolyLevel to Frost mitigate around the home and fill the void under the slab in the garage. 

Our team was instructed by Victor's design to install Push Piers on the interior of the garage foundation and install more Push Piers on the outside for the foundation surrounding the great room. The team installed 11 Push Piers on the interior foundation of the garage and 13 more Push Piers to the foundation around the great room. After the piers were installed, the team then used PolyLevel to Frost Mitigation around the garage and then fill the void under the garage slab. 

Erickson was able to take this home that was deemed a structural failure and repair it. The homeowner was very thankful they contacted EFS to repair the foundation of their home. 

A homeowner in Dover, New Hampshire recently purchased their home and there was water entering their basement upon purchase. The new homeowners wanted to address the water because they have plans to finish some of the basement in the future. The homeowners reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their basements to address their water concerns. Our Design Specialist John recommended installing a full perimeter drainage system in the basement. The system will include 127' of WaterGuard, 22' of Trench Drain, a TripleSafe, and two IceGuards. 

Our installation team began by chipping out the perimeter of the basement so we could install the WaterGuard and our TripleSafe. The team removed all the debris and installed the TripleSafe and then the WaterGuard. The team then performed a water test to make sure the water that entered the WaterGuard would travel to the TripleSafe. Then the team plumbed the TripleSafe out of the basement to the outside of the home. On the exterior of the home, the team installed 2 IceGuards and then a 10' drainage line. Then the team tested the entire system before then pouring a layer of concrete over the WaterGuard and around the TripleSafe. 

The homeowner was very happy with the system that EFS installed. They no longer have to worry about water entering their basement and could begin finishing their basement. 

An owner of a building in Dover, New Hampshire, had water entering the basement of the building through the foundation wall. The owner would like to find a solution that will prevent the water from seeping into the basement. The owner decided to call EFS for a free inspection of the building. Our Design Specialist Jason inspected the interior and exterior of the building and recommended installing Sentry Seal to the outside of the foundation wall to prevent water from seeping through the foundation wall and entering the basement. 

Our installation team began by exposing 200' of foundation wall around the building using our excavator. The team exposed the wall about 5' so we could then install our Sentry Seal to the foundation wall. After the Sentry Seal was installed, the team then backfilled the dirt back against the foundation wall and tamped the dirt down.

The homeowner was pleased with the results of the project and hasn't seen any water in the basement since we installed the Sentry Seal. 

A homeowner in Dover, New Hampshire, was planning on installing new windows in their 2-family home. They had a window company come to their home and look at their windows. The person checking the windows noticed that the windows were difficult to open and the windows weren't square. They recommended having their foundation looked at before installing new windows. The homeowners decided to have a foundation repair company come and look at their foundation. The homeowner reached out to us and our Design Specialist Jason inspected the foundation and found that the foundation walls were bowing. Jason found that some walls were bowing up to 5", so he recommended installing an auxiliary wall to stabilize the wall. Jason also noticed some instability in the floors and some water markings on the floor of the basement, so he recommended installing SmartJacks and a perimeter drainage system. 

Our installation team installed an Auxiliary wall to address the foundation wall. The team first installed Powerbraces against the wall every couple of feet. After the team installed all of the PowerBraces, we then set up rebar and forms to then fill them with concrete. While the team waited for the concrete in the Auxiliary wall to cure, the team installed 2 SmartJacks with a 10' supplemental beam to add support to the floor system. Next, the team installed 48' of WaterGuard, a SuperSump, an IceGuard, and a SaniDry Sedona into the home to address any moisture entering the basement. Our team first chipped out concrete along the perimeter of the basement so we could install the WaterGuard and SuperSump. The team then installed the SuperSump and WaterGuard and pumped the system outside the home where we installed our IceGuard and Exterior Drainage Line. The team then installed a SaniDry Sedona and fed the discharge line into the SuperSump basin. Next, the team mixed up concrete and covered the WaterGuard and around the sump pump basin to lock them in place. Finally, the team removed the forms from the Auxiliary wall and trimmed any imperfections off of the concrete. 

The homeowners were pleased with the results of the project. 

A homeowner in Rochester, New Hampshire, lives in a home that was built in 1908 and they have lived there for the past 5 years. The homeowners removed some of the drywall in the basement and found that the stone and brick foundation wall was bulging inward. The homeowner became concerned about the foundation wall and decided that they should have this issue repaired. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their foundation. Our Design Specialist Isaac inspected the home and recommended installing an Auxiliary wall against the stone and brick foundation to stabilize the wall and prevent furth bulging. 

Our Installation team began by removing the drywall and wood framing against the wall so we could begin to prep for installing the Auxiliary Wall. Once the wall was fully exposed, the team installed our PowerBraces every couple of feet down the wall. We secured the PowerBraces to the floor system and to the concrete floor. After the PowerBraces were secured the team then installed rebar and concrete forms around the PowerBraces and the wall. Once the forms were secured, the team poured concrete up near the top of the forms to create the Auxiliary Wall. Now the team had to wait a couple of days to make sure the concrete cured before they removed the form. After the concrete was cured the team then used removed all of the forms and trimmed off any imperfections on the concrete. 

The homeowner was very pleased with the results of the project and they no longer have to worry about the foundation wall bulging. 

A homeowner residing in Rochester, New Hampshire, has lived in their home for 17 years. Throughout their stay, they have constantly dealt with water entering their basement for over a decade. This spring, the problem became worse as more water entered the basement more frequently, prompting the homeowner to seek a solution. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection, and Michael LaMalfa, our Design Specialist, inspected the basement and suggested the installation of WaterGuard, SuperSump, IceGuard, and Exterior Drainage Line to prevent water accumulation on the floor.

Our experienced Installation Team, led by Steve Dumais, began by chipping out the concrete around the perimeter of the basement to install our perimeter drainage and sump pump. They installed the sump pump at the lowest corner of the basement to collect the maximum amount of water and plumbed it to the exterior of the home. On the outside of the house, the team installed our IceGuard and a 10' Exterior Drainage Line to dispose of the water away from the foundation of the home. While one team member was plumbing the sump pump, others installed the WaterGuard around the basement's perimeter. After all the drainage was in place, the team connected it to the sump pump to guide any water in the drainage system into the sump pump. Finally, they mixed concrete and covered the drainage and sump pump area to secure them in place.

The homeowner expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the project and no longer worries about water entering the basement.

A homeowner residing in Barrington, New Hampshire had been living in their house for two decades when they noticed water seeping into their basement. In 2010, they installed a sump pump to keep the basement dry. The pump functioned properly for almost 13 years until water started to seep through the slab on the other side of the basement. The homeowner contacted EFS to request a free inspection of the basement. Our Design Specialist, Tom Armano, inspected the basement and recommended the installation of a Feed Line to collect water from the opposite end of the basement. 

Dillon Kingsbury and his Installation Team started the installation process by chipping out concrete 24 feet across the basement to allow for the installation of the Feed Line. The team connected the Feed Line to the sump pump in the trench and installed a WaterGuard Port on the other end to facilitate the cleaning of the system. After the installation was complete, the team mixed up concrete and covered the line. The homeowner was extremely satisfied with the outcome of the project and was relieved that water seepage into their basement was no longer a concern.

A Lee, New Hampshire homeowner lived in their house for 18 years and noticed a crack in the back wall of their detached garage foundation, which gradually grew larger over 3 years. Seeking a solution, the homeowner contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions for a free inspection. Design Specialist Victor Tapia inspected both the interior and exterior of the garage to identify the cause of the crack. Victor found that the foundation wall at the back of the garage was bowing outward, causing the crack to expand. Our team recommended installing 6 Geolocks on the back wall of the foundation. 

The Installation Team, led by Neal Foley, began by drilling 6 small holes evenly across the foundation wall. After chipping out a trench 10' away from the foundation, parallel to the foundation wall, the team secured a galvanized rod through the foundation wall and into the trench. We attached a Geolock Anchor to each side of the rod. Once the Geolocks were secured, the team tightened them to straighten the foundation wall. Once the wall was stabilized, the team backfilled the trench and mixed up concrete to repour where we chipped out concrete from the slab. 

The homeowner was delighted with the results, no longer worrying about the foundation wall of the garage.

This homeowner in Farmington, New Hampshire, has owned this property as a second home for the past 25 years. In the last couple of years, they have seen water coming into their basement more and more often. After dealing with water coming into the basement for the past 5 or 6 years the homeowner has finally had enough. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist Anthony Bracato met with the homeowner and inspected the basement to find a solution to stop water from entering the basement and collect on the floors. Anthony recommended installing a perimeter drainage system complete with 50' of WaterGuard, 16' of Trench Drain, a TripleSafe, 2 IceGuard, and a 20' Exterior Drainage Line.

Our Installation Team led by Gunther Billhardt began by chipping out a trench around the entire perimeter of the basement. The trench has to be approximately 6 inches wide and a few inches deep so the WaterGuard and Trench Drain could fit under the slab. After the trench was made the team then chipped out a section of concrete so we could install our TripleSafe basin flush with the basement slab. To make the basin fit flush the team had to dig down about 2.5 feet. After the basin was installed the team then installed the TripleSafe sump pump into the basement and plumbed the system to the outside of the home. On the exterior of the home, the team installed 2 IceGuards and a 20' Exterior Drainage Line that was buried in the yard. After the IceGuard and drainage line were installed the team returned inside the basement to pour concrete over the WaterGuard, Trench Drain, and around the basin of the TripleSafe.

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

A homeowner in Farmington, New Hampshire, built their new home in October of 2022. Not even a year of living in their home they have become concerned with the radon levels within the home and are looking for a solution. The homeowners have a unique system on the floors of their basement that helps maintain the heat in the home. They have radiant heating installed under the slab of their basement. The heating system is often more efficient than forced air heating systems that tend to lose heat in the ducts and also bring in allergens. The problem with this system, as it relates to lowering the radon levels in the home, is that there are pipes that coil up and down the floor every couple of inches. The homeowner had reached out to a couple of companies in their area to see if they could install a system while avoiding damage to their radiant heating system. With the system being very expensive to repair if damaged, many of the companies turned away but not EFS. Our Design Specialist Jason Vachon met with the homeowner and carefully inspected the basement to determine if we had enough space between the heating lines to install our extraction point. Jason looked at the plans and found there will be enough room to install the system. After the inspection, Jason designed a radon system for the home and passed the design to the homeowner, and then once confirmed we sent them to our installation team. 

Our Installation Team led by Branden Edwards arrived at the home and had to use a thermal imaging camera to identify where the lines of the heating system were located. The team then marked where they could install the extraction point and began drilling out a small 3" section of concrete. Next, the team installed PVC at the extraction point and fed it to the exterior of the home where the radon fan will be installed. Once the PVC pipe was fed to the exterior the team then installed the radon fan to the side of the home and connected the PVC pipe to the radon fan and then vented the system above the roofline of the home. 

The homeowners were very impressed with EFS. We were able to come into a difficult job and still install our system and lower the radon levels in the home. 

This homeowner in Somersworth, New Hampshire, had lived in their home for the past 30 years. Since they purchased their home they had always noticed water seeping into the basement. The water was never significant enough to warrant a permanent fix until this year when the amount of water was the most they had ever seen. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist Jason Vachon met with the homeowners. The homeowners told Jason about their concerns and after Jason went and inspected the basement of the home to find a solution to their concerns. Jason recommended installing a perimeter drainage system with CleanSpace and a SaniDry Sedona to prevent water from seeping into the basement. 

Our Installation Team led by Abdou Taal began by chipping out 92' of concrete around the perimeter of the basement. Once the concrete was removed the team then installed the WaterGuard and SuperSump into the basement. Next, the team installed the CleanSpace over the wall and tied it to the WaterGuard system. After, the team plumbed the SuperSump to the exterior of the home where we installed the IceGuard and Exterior Drainage Line to carry water away from the foundation. After the drainage was installed the team then mixed up concrete and poured it over the WaterGuard and around the SuperSump to lock them into place. After the concrete had cured the team lastly installed the SaniDry Sedona next to the sump pump so it could control the moisture levels inside the basement. 

The homeowners were very pleased with the results of the project. 

The owner of a home in Barrington, New Hampshire has lived in their home for the past 20+ years. Over those 20+ years, they have noticed water entering the basement through the bulkhead. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection of the bulkhead and basement. Our Design Specialist Victor Tapia met with the homeowners and talked about their concerns. After talking about the water leaking into their basement from the bulkhead, Victor inspected the bulkhead and basement to find a solution. After his inspection, he recommended replacing the old bulkhead with a new one. 

Our installation team led by Eric Witham began by removing the old bulkhead from the home. The team then cleaned up the loose concrete and then installed the new bulkhead. This new bulkhead has preventative measures to stop water from seeping into the basement. 

After the installation was complete the homeowners were very pleased with the results of the project. 

A homeowner in Lee, New Hampshire has lived in their home for over 30 years. During winter, they noticed that the floor on the main level of their home gets very cold. Additionally, they noticed a bounce in the floors, which are over 100 years old, and wanted to address it. They contacted EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist, Anthony Brancato, met with them and inspected their basement. Anthony then proposed a solution that recommended insulating the crawlspace with CleanSpace, Drainage Matting, and SilverGlo. He also suggested replacing the existing supports with SmartJacks and installing a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control the humidity in the crawlspace.

Our Installation Team, led by Anthony LoCascio, removed debris from the crawlspace before installing the new support system. 6 SmartJacks were installed to stabilize the 100-year-old floor system. The team then encapsulated the crawlspace, covering an area of 609 square feet with crawlspace encapsulation and 550 square feet with insulation. Finally, the dehumidifier was installed in the basement to control the humidity down there. 

The homeowners were very pleased with the results of the project.

A resident of Hooksett, New Hampshire has lived in their 1920s home for their entire life. After being widowed 6 years ago, they had to adjust to being the sole decision-maker for their property. Some years ago, the homeowner noticed water seeping through cracks on the slab in the basement. They tried some DIY fixes, but none were effective in preventing water from seeping through the slab. After a couple of failed attempts, the homeowner contacted EFS for a free inspection of their basement to find a permanent solution. Our Design Specialist, Josh Phillips, met with the homeowner and recommended installing WaterGuard, TrenchDrain, TripleSafe, IceGuard, Exterior Drainage Line, SaniDry Sedona, and NexusPro in the basement to prevent water seepage. 

Our installation team, led by Gunther Billhardt, began by chipping out around 50 feet of concrete around the basement perimeter to install our perimeter drainage and sump pump. The team removed the chipped concrete and some dirt, allowing us to lay our drainage below the concrete slab. The team also dug a sump pit for our sump pump and basin to sit level with the concrete floor. After installing and integrating the pump and drainage, the team then plumbed the sump pump to the exterior of the home, where we installed 2 IceGuards and a 30-foot EDL to carry water away from the foundation. After installing and burying the exterior drainage in the yard, the team returned to the basement to cover the top of the drainage and around the basin with concrete to secure the system in place. After pouring the concrete, the team installed our SaniDry Sedona next to the TripleSafe. The team tested the system to ensure that everything was working and then sealed the cracks in the slab with NexusPro. Once the crack repair was complete, the job was done.

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

This homeowner in Dover, New Hampshire, has lived in their home for the past 20 years. In the last couple of years, they finished the basement of the 1960s home. Recently they have had some rain storms that have overwhelmed their sump pump. They have had to clean up the water that the sump couldn't pump out. They don't want to worry about this in the future so they reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their sump pump. Our Design Specialist George Gouthier met with the homeowners and he examined the pump and recommended installing our TripleSafe, a bigger and more powerful sump pump. 

Our installation team led by Gunther Billhardt began by removing the old sump pump from the basement. This included the liner and all of the drainage lines. After that was removed the team began to install our bigger and stronger TripleSafe liner, then the three pumps and the drainage line. Once everything was in position and operational, the team then mixed up concrete and poured it around the sump pump basin to lock it into place. 

The team then cleaned up the job site and showed the homeowner the new pump. The homeowner was surprised with the size of the new TripleSafe that will keep their basement dry. 

Michael and Angela own a home in New Durham, New Hampshire and were experiencing flooding in their finished basement. Their basement leaked every time it rained and have experienced up to 3 inches of water seepage at a time. This has damaged flooring, walls, rugs, and storage while also creating mold. These issues, along with mold being a bad allergen to Angela, drove these homeowners to look for a permanent solution. Our team was more than happy to help offer a solution to provide a dry basement and eliminate these ongoing issues.
After providing a free inspection, our Design Specialist Jason Vachon recommended installing our TripleSafe sump pump along with our WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. This system is designed to capture water at the perimeter of the basement and drain into the sump pump, where it is then pumped out of the house through an exterior drainage line. Jason also recommended installing a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to take moisture out of the basement and alleviate issues with the mold. Michael and Angela loved that solution and our installation crew got to work.

The TripleSafe sump pump was installed at the lowest point of the basement, where we chipped out concrete and created a basin for the pump to sit. The WaterGuard perimeter drainage system was implemented around the edge of the basement floor, and then connected to the sump pump. Once that was complete, we cemented the entire system in place. We then installed the exterior drainage line (or EDL) and buried it underground where the water would drain in a safe location. Lastly, we installed the SaniDry Sedona next to the sump pump.
Once this waterproofing system was in place, the basement was no longer at risk of flooding. Now, these homeowners can enjoy their finished basement safely with peace of mind.

Gregory K. is a homeowner in Strafford, New Hampshire who has been experiencing water in his finished basement, despite already having a sump pump.  The problem was slowly getting worse and occurred whenever there were heavy rains and snow melted. He no longer wants to be concerned with the cleanup process and doesn't want to have to worry about flooding when he travels for long periods of time. He reached out to our Erickson Foundation Solutions team for a permanent solution to keep his basement dry.

After reaching out to one of our Customer Care Specialists, an appointment was set up for a Design Specialist to come out and conduct a free inspection of the home. Jason Vachon, the Design Specialist, recommended installing our WaterGuard system, TripleSafe sump pump, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This combination of waterproofing products would capture water before being exposed to the home, pump up to 2,220 gallons of water out of the home per hour, and keep the basement a comfortable and welcoming space. Already comfortable with the sump pump they owned, we proceeded to install our WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. We chipped out concrete in the area where water was most prominent and laid crushed stone and the WaterGuard System in place. We then connected that system to the existing sump pump. Once everything was connected, we cemented the system in place.

This allows Gregory to enjoy his basement without worry. Our team was happy to offer a solution that provides him with peace of mind.

Seth M. of Dover, New Hampshire had noticed water leaking around the bulkhead of his basement. Before leaking and puddling got worse, Seth wanted to be proactive and waterproof areas of the basement that were at risk, including his woodshop. In order to find a solution to this issue, Seth reached out to our team.

After reaching out to one of our Customer Care Specialists, we scheduled an appointment for a free inspection of the home. Our Design Specialist, Josh Phillips, recommended installing our WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. The system was installed along the perimeter of the basement slab where areas were most affected. Our installation crew chipped out concrete, put the WaterGuard system in place above crushed stone, and connected it to Seth's already installed sump pump. Then, everything was cemented in place. This waterproofing system works by safely capturing water before it enters the home, directing it towards the sump pump, and then removing it from the home through an exterior drainage line.

With the waterproofing systems in place, Seth's woodshop, along with the other affected areas of his basement, will now remain safe and dry!

Kristen and Pat W. of Auburn, New Hampshire had just started to finish their basement when heavy rains led to major basement flooding. This was causing them huge headaches and has completely damaged personal belongings. The basement was at one point filled with 10 inches of water. They reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions so that they could resume finishing their basement with peace of mind.

With such wet soil surrounding the basement, our Design Specialist, Josh Phillips, recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage, TripleSafe sump pump system, SuperSump sump pump, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This system captures water on the inside perimeter of the basement without being exposed to walls or floors, and then diverts the water to the sump pumps, where it is then pumped out of the home. Since the amount of water is so high and the basement is so large, two sump pump systems were installed to ensure that all the water would be pumped out of the home. Our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was then installed to the TripleSafe sump pump system, which reduces moisture inside the basement, providing healthier air to the entire home. 

Now that these systems are in place, Kristen and Pat can start designing their dream basement knowing that it will be kept safe and dry!

An investment property owner in Somersworth, New Hampshire had water entering the basement every time there was a rainstorm. Looking to keep the basement permanently dry, she reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

After reaching out to our Customer Care team, an appointment was scheduled for Design Specialist, Jason Vachon, to inspect the home. After concluding the inspection, Jason recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage, TrenchDrain surface drainage, and our SuperSump sump pump. This waterproofing system is designed to collect water at the perimeter of the foundation without exposure to the basement walls and floors, deliver it to the sump pump, and then safely pump the water out of the home. Our installation crew chipped out concrete along the foundation border to make space for the WaterGuard system. It sits within crushed stone to collect water and filter it to the sump pump. TrenchDrain was installed around the doorway since WaterGuard could not be. These two systems connect to continue the flow of water. Once the sump basin was constructed, the SuperSump was put in place and installed to the WaterGuard system. An exterior discharge line was attached to the sump pump in order to guide water out of the home. IceGuard was attached to the line to prevent frozen pipes. This stops the discharge line from backing up and potentially flooding the basement.

With everything installed and tidy, the basement has now become waterproofed. The property owner now has peace of mind that the basement will stay dry.

Over in Barrington, NH, a homeowner reached out with a frustrating issue – water was sneaking into their basement through the bulkhead entrance every time it rained hard, leaving a mess and ruining items they had stored there. Fed up and seeking a permanent fix, they turned to us, Erickson Foundation Solutions, hoping we'd have the answer to their soggy problem.

Our process kicked off with a homeowner calling our welcoming Customer Care team. We promptly set up an inspection where one of our experienced System Design Specialists Jason Vachon made a visit, diagnosing the root of the water intrusion. We recommended installing WaterGuard, an efficient interior perimeter drainage system designed to catch basement water and route it away, keeping the space dry.

Over in Dover, NH, we met a homeowner dealing with a real nightmare. Despite their best efforts, a failed sump pump system led to their basement being swamped with over 18 inches of water. This disaster not only put their stored belongings at risk but also damaged their boiler system, requiring parts to be serviced and replaced. Understanding the urgency, they reached out to us at Erickson Foundation Solutions, hoping to find a reliable fix to their soggy situation.

Following our standard procedure, the homeowner’s first point of contact was our Customer Care team, which swiftly set up an inspection appointment.

Recently, we had the privilege to work with a homeowner from Somersworth, NH, who reached out concerned about their cherished garage. They noticed the walls were bowing outward, a clear alarm that something was amiss with the foundation. Understanding the immediate threat this posed, not just to the structure but to their sense of security, they reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions for help.

Our initial contact with the homeowner was made through our devoted Customer Care team, who promptly scheduled a comprehensive home inspection. Experienced System Design Specialist Peter Carstean from our Sales Team visited the home, thoroughly evaluated the crawl space, and determined the cause behind the sagging floors. We recommended the installation of 6 SmartJacks to address not just the symptom but the root cause of the problem by reinforcing the structure from beneath.

When one of our Dover, NH homeowners found water seeping through their cement foundation wall and into their basement, they knew it was time to call in the professionals at Erickson Foundation Solutions. They were concerned about the damage the water might cause to their home and possessions, and they wanted a permanent fix, not just a temporary patch job.

The process began with a call to our Customer Care team who quickly scheduled a home inspection. Our System Design Specialist visited the home, conducting a complete inspection to diagnose the root of the problem. After identifying the main points of water entry and assessing the basement’s layout, our specialist recommended a customized solution that included installing CleanSpace, WaterGuard, a TripleSafe Sump Pump, and IceGuard. Our production team, consisting of foreman Mike Lyall and skilled installers, got to work transforming the wet basement into a dry, usable space. First, we tackled the perimeter of the basement with the WaterGuard system, designed to intercept water at the foundation level and direct it away from the home. We then installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump, an integral component in ensuring water is efficiently pumped out and away from the property. To protect the home during colder months, we installed the IceGuard system to prevent any potential freezing and blockages. Completing the project, we enclosed the area with CleanSpace liner to provide a durable moisture barrier.

The outcome was immediately apparent—no more water ingress, a drier basement, and a much happier homeowner. By addressing the problem comprehensively, we turned what was once a concerning issue into a stress-free solution, giving the homeowner peace of mind. Here at Erickson Foundation Solutions, we take pride in providing not just services but sustainable, reliable fixes coupled with a remarkable customer

At Erickson Foundation Solutions, we recently had the pleasure of helping a homeowner in Rochester, NH, turn their newly purchased property into a safe and stable rental home. When they bought the house, everything seemed perfect until a routine inspection revealed a significant issue: the temporary support posts in the basement. The home inspector flagged these supports as insufficient for long-term stability, potentially putting the whole structure at risk over time. Understanding the importance of safety and stability in a rental property, the homeowner reached out to us for a reliable solution.

After the homeowner contacted our Customer Care team, we promptly sent out System Design Specialist Victor Tapia to assess the situation. The inspection was thorough, focusing on understanding the core issue with the support posts in an older home setting. It didn't take long for our specialist to recommend the perfect solution to ensure the home's long-term stability: SmartJack. SmartJack is a high-capacity, adjustable steel pier designed to counteract the exact type of problem this homeowner was facing. Once the plan was laid out, our experienced production team, consisting of knowledgeable foreman Tyler Oslizlo and skilled installers, got to work. The installation process was straightforward but precise, ensuring each SmartJack was perfectly positioned to provide the maximum support required. The team worked efficiently, keeping disruption to a minimum, and left the site clean and tidy.

Thanks to the new SmartJack system, the homeowner can now be assured that their rental property is built on solid, stable ground. The once shaky floors are now secure, providing a safe and comfortable environment for future tenants. For us at Erickson Foundation Solutions, it was another day of fulfilling our mission: ensuring homeowners can trust their house remains solid, from the ground up.

Not so long ago, we had the pleasure of helping a homeowner in Dover, NH, tackle a troubling problem they encountered after expanding their home. Following their addition, they noticed something quite unsettling - their sump pump just couldn’t keep up. Water was making unwelcome appearances around their basement, a situation no homeowner ever wants to find themselves in. Understanding the urgency of their predicament, they reached out to us at Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our approach was straightforward yet effective; we started with our dedicated Customer Care team who swiftly set up a home inspection appointment. Not long after, our System Design Specialist Victor Tapia from our seasoned Sales Team took an in-depth look at their situation. Identifying the core issue, he recommended our robust WaterGuard system as the answer they’ve been seeking. Our proposition was clear – by tying the WaterGuard system into the existing sump pump, we could ensure that all water would be effectively redirected away from their basement, ensuring a dry and comfortable space. Our production team, composed of skilled foreman Abdou Taal and installers, soon arrived on the scene. With precision and care, they installed the WaterGuard system, confidently erasing any signs of the prior water intrusion. Their meticulous cleanup afterward left the homeowner with nothing less than a remarkable customer experience.

The transformation was unmistakable. What once was a worrisome sign of water damage became a thing of the past. This Dover homeowner now enjoys peace of mind, knowing their basement is protected against unwelcome water, thanks to our reliable solution. This isn’t just a job story for us; it's a testament to our commitment to providing lasting sanctuary and comfort within the homes we have the privilege of servicing.

Recently, in Dover, NH, we encountered a unique challenge. A local private school was confronting a serious headache - their classrooms were facing constant water intrusion. Teachers and students were distressed, losing valuable education time whenever the weather turned bad. Understanding the urgency to create a safe and dry learning environment, the school reached out to us for help.

Our first step was to send out a System Design Specialist to the school. Upon assessment, it was clear that conventional quick fixes wouldn't cut it. We recommended a trio of our trusted solutions: WaterGuard, TripleSafe Sump Pump, and IceGuard. These were not just temporary patches but a comprehensive strategy designed for a lasting solution. WaterGuard was installed along the classroom perimeters to intercept water at the most common entry points, directing it efficiently away. The TripleSafe Sump Pump, our workhorse, was put in place to ensure that any water captured was pumped out rapidly and reliably, even in the worst weather conditions. And with New Hampshire winters in mind, IceGuard was added as a safeguard against frozen discharge lines, ensuring the system's effectiveness year-round. The installation phase flowed smoothly, with our team handling everything meticulously, from the careful placement of our products to ensuring the classrooms were clean and disruption-free throughout the work.

By the end, not only were the visible signs of the previous water intrusion gone, but peace of mind was restored. The classrooms were once again a conducive environment for learning, shielded against future water threats without skipping a beat in the academic calendar. Reflecting on this project, it stands out as a prime example of our commitment to delivering remarkable customer experiences and crafting durable solutions tailor-made for each challenge.

Recently, we had the privilege to assist a homeowner in Rochester, NH, who faced a concerning issue with their home’s foundation. The charming property, featuring a mix of fieldstone and brick foundation, showed significant signs of wear and tear. Years of exposure had left the foundation crumbling, compromising the home's stability and safety.

Upon contacting our Customer Care team, we promptly scheduled a comprehensive home inspection to understand the depth of the issue. Our System Design Specialist Jason Vachon conducted a thorough assessment, determining that the best course of action was to implement our StableLock system. This solution was chosen not only for its strength but also for its ability to address the uniqueness of the mixed material foundation. The day of the installation saw our experienced production team, comprised of dedicated foreman Nick Carelli and skilled installers, arrive at the home ready to tackle the project. With precision and care, they installed the StableLock system, ensuring each component was perfectly aligned to offer maximum stability. PowerBraces were installed along the bowing and crumbling wall to offer a form of stability. Rebar was then woven through the PowerBraces to strengthen the concrete wall that was about to be poured. Forms were put into place to mold the shape of the wall. Concrete was then poured carefully, ensuring every crevasse was filled. Their work did not just stop at installation; they also took the time to clean up thoroughly, leaving the basement cleaner than when they had arrived.

The outcome was a homeowner's relief and satisfaction. The once unstable and crumbling foundation was transformed into a solid base that the homeowner could trust for years to come. By restoring the foundation's integrity, we not only safeguarded the home but also provided peace of mind.

Recently, we had the opportunity to work on a special project in Farmington, NH, for homeowners who were just beginning their journey in their new home. Thrilled with the new move, they quickly realized that their excitement was dampened by concerns over humidity and some noticeable structural concerns in their basement – common woes that we at Erickson Foundation Solutions are no strangers to addressing.

Upon contacting our knowledgeable Customer Care team, they were swiftly scheduled for a detailed home inspection. Our dedicated System Design Specialist Jason Vachon visited their home, fully inspected their basement, and pinpointed the exact causes of their concerns. Understanding the homeowners’ worries and their desire for a lasting solution, we recommended installing CleanSpace and a TripleSafe Sump Pump, along with SaniDry Sedona to tackle the humidity issue head-on and SmartJacks to resolve the structural issues efficiently. Our skilled foreman Anthony LoCascio and installers then sprang into action, clearing the area before meticulously beginning the waterproofing process. CleanSpace was installed to provide an unbeatable moisture barrier, while the TripleSafe Sump Pump system was put in place to ensure that the basement remains dry under any condition. Our SaniDry Sedona, a high-efficiency dehumidification system, was also installed to control the humidity level, providing a comfortable and safer living environment.

In Dover, NH, a homeowner faced a recurring issue where water would seep into the basement near the bulkhead entrance during rainstorms. This problem not only disturbed the household’s peace of mind but also risked damaging stored items and the foundation's integrity. Recognizing the need for a permanent solution, they reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our Customer Care Specialist promptly scheduled a home inspection. Following this, our System Design Specialist Jason Vachon from our sales team visited the home, performed an extensive inspection, and pinpointed the areas contributing to the water ingress. With a thorough diagnosis in hand, we crafted a solution using our trusted tools: WaterGuard, the TripleSafe Sump Pump, and IceGuard. Our production team, adept at addressing such concerns, commenced their work by first installing the WaterGuard system. Subtly placed below the surface of the basement floor and set atop the footing, WaterGuard served as a conduit to channel wall and floor seepage towards the sump pump. This non-obtrusive yet effective drainage kept water in check, maintaining a clean and dry basement space. Complementing WaterGuard, we incorporated the TripleSafe Sump Pump system. This system offers the advantage of triple-level protection, ensuring the basement remains dry, even under demanding conditions or during power outages, thanks to its reliable battery backup pump. Moreover, to guard against New Hampshire's frigid winters, the installation of IceGuard for the sump pump’s discharge lines excelled in providing an assurance that freezing temperatures wouldn't impede water discharge, keeping blockages and related damages at bay.

A job completed with precision, our efforts restored the homeowner’s control over their basement environment. By entrusting their home to Erickson Foundation Solutions, the homeowner gained both protection against future seepage and peace of mind. Thus, their basement returned to serving its fullest potential without the worry of water intrusion. As always, our mission has been to ensure such remarkable customer journeys through reliable, personalized service.
