Walpole, MA Expert Concrete Repair & Leveling Company

In 2017, the owners of this home in Walpole, MA were undergoing a large renovation. The foundation beneath their home was 100 years old and did not allow for a full basement. They decided to pour a new foundation and move the structure 50 feet, but on the same lot. The construction company they hired to pour the new foundation and complete the moving of the house were making great progress, until the water table decided to show itself. 

After the new foundation was poured and the contractor began preparing to add framing to the basement level floors, the concrete walls and footings of the foundation began to settle. Water began to seep up, and the foundation appeared to be floating in some places. However, our Erickson team had the ideal solution to prevent the home from settling. 

Before our crews could attempt to install any helical piers beneath the footings, the high water had to be removed. Large pumps were brought in to continuously pump the water away from the footings just long enough for our team to secure the brackets and piers to the footings. To guarantee no settlement could possibly occur in the future, our team proposed and installed helical piles along the entire perimeter of the foundation walls. 

Once the job was completed, the contractor was able to resume their framing aspect of the project and continue to move the home for the family.
