Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner in North Andover, MA has been experiencing flooding in their crawl space. This flooding has caused a good amount of damage, as well as mold and odors. Additionally, the crawl space was now struggling to support the rest of the home. This homeowner wanted a permanent solution to eliminate these issues, which is why he reached out to our Erickson Foundation Solutions team.

After a free inspection with our Design Specialist, Nikki Burke recommended installing SmartJacks in the crawl space to withhold and support the structure. Installing a waterproofing system was also essential. In order to do this, our team installed our SmartSump, a sump pump system which collects all the unwanted water and disposes of it safely away from the home. In addition to this, CleanSpace is applied to encapsulate the space. Our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier was also installed to prevent moisture and other undesirable qualities such as mold.

This crawl space was once wet, cold, moldy, and unstable. After installing these products, the crawl space has transformed into a dry and solid foundation. Without worry of water, air is healthy for the household and sagging floors have been restored. This homeowner was thrilled to say the least.

A homeowner from North Andover, Massachusetts is looking to build an addition to their home. Before doing so, the homeowner wanted to make sure that the structure of the home was properly supported. Noticing cracks in the basement foundation, this homeowner called Erickson Foundation Solutions to ensure their foundation walls were stabilized.

After scheduling an appointment for a free inspection, a Design Specialist came to the home and identified the issues that were occurring and discussed a range of solutions that works for the homeowner. We recommended installing GeoLock Wall Anchors and BrightWall. Our Geolock system works by installing galvanized steel plates to the wall, and anchoring them to strong and durable soil, thus stabilizing the wall. The BrightWall system is a 100% waterproof rigid plastic paneling for unfinished basement walls. It stops humidity and water vapor from passing through your basement walls, while turning the basement into a bright and beautiful space. Our installation crew installed these walls prior to the installation of the GeoLocks. To set up the GeoLock system, our crew dug a small trench outside of the home where durable soil was found. The anchoring system was drilled through the wall and soil, until reaching the trench. Then, the steel plate and anchor were screwed and tightened into place. Finally, Hide-A-Way covers are added to those steel plates to create an appealing finish.

With this system in place, the basement wall is now stable and can provide support to the rest of the home, including the addition that is planned to be added. Additionally, the basement will be a much more comfortable living space.

A homeowner in Peabody, MA was concerned with a section of their concrete where the patio behind the home adjoined the pool deck. The patio itself was the location of a table and some seating. When walking from this area to the deck towards the pool, the concrete joints had become uneven, as one of the sides settled. This section was unsightly and a bit of a trip hazard for friends and family. 

Rather than replace all the concrete in this section, which would be costly and disruptive to their backyard, the homeowners were looking for alternative solutions. When they met with our team and learned about PolyLevel, they were thrilled. Our team completed the project in a single day, and were successful in lifting the concrete to the desired height. The trip hazard was no longer a concern, and the joints were sealed with NexusPro to create a more finished look.

A homeowner in Center Barnstead, New Hampshire, had seen a crack start to form in their garage around 5 years ago. They have seen the crack get larger and decided they wanted to have it sealed. They called EFS and we found that the crack was caused by the concrete slab settling. We then recommended installing 3 Helical Piers under the right side of the garage, then using PolyLevel to lift and level the slab, and finally sealing the crack using NexusPro. 

This sidewalk leading up to the entrance of the Blaisdell Library in Nottingham, NH had some uneven concrete and trip hazards. For families and children, these trip hazards were unsafe. When it came to shoveling snow in the winter, the uneven concrete was a nuisance. 

Our concrete repair team was successfully able to lift and level the uneven sections of the sidewalk with PolyLevel to help the library create a safe environment for their community. A one day repair that saved the library thousands of dollars compared to replacing the walkway with new concrete.
