A homeowner in New London, New Hampshire had concerns with his damp and musty bedroom. He noticed this issue ever since he moved into the home three years ago. Unable to continue living in these circumstances, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions for a permanent fix.
One of our Design Specialists, Josh Phillips, went to the house to conduct a free home inspection. While completing the inspection, Josh noticed that the existing encapsulation system in the crawl space was not keeping moisture out as it was intended. This was the source of why the homeowner's bedroom was damp and musty. Mold, wood rot, and other negative effects also resulted because of it. The wood rot has caused cracks in the wall and doors to not shut properly. Josh recommended installing our SuperSump sump pump, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The SuperSump sits in a basin in the crawl space and pumps out water that is surrounding the outside of the foundation. The CleanSpace vapor barrier properly encapsulates the crawl space to keep out moisture, which protects against mold, wood rot, and pests. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier further helps prevent against moisture, creating a dry space and delivering better air quality to the entire home.
The homeowner loved the final result. He will look to us when completing future home projects.
This section of concrete patio for this homeowner had cracked and settled 5 inches. Rather than completely tear out and replace the entire patio, or even sections like this, our team successfully installed PolyLevel to lift and level out the concrete slab. The results in this corner of the patio were outstanding! The patio went from being an unsightly trip hazard, to being raised up to level and safe. And no demolition required.
The soil under this sidewalk settled on one side, causing it to sink and eventually crack. There was a 1" height difference between the two sides. Our PolyLEVEL system leveled the sidewalk and created a safe walkway once again.
The concrete surface of this deck around this inground pool in Mont Vernon was full of cracks, discoloration, and trip hazards. The homeowner initially contacted our team to learn about solutions for lifting and leveling the uneven concrete. However, while hearing about our options, they decided to also resurface the concrete deck to make it look more vibrant.
Our installation crew first lifted and leveled the uneven surfaces as needed. They then sealed all cracks with NexusPro before applying DecoShield. Our DecoShield product not only seals and protects the concrete against water damage, but also applies a tint to make the concrete look new again. The results were fantastic, and this aged pool deck not only is safer now, but also looks much better.
A homeowner in Hollis, New Hampshire was experiencing high humidity in the house, specifically in the basement. This has led to wooden items deteriorating and minimal mold, which has created a musty odor. Looking to turn the basement into a playroom for the kids, this homeowner reached out to us for a permanent solution.
Our Design Specialist, Josh Phillips, recommended installing SilverGlo wall insulation, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The SilverGlo was installed to the crawl space to provide R-11 insulation. CleanSpace was installed to prevent moisture in the crawl space. By eliminating moisture from the crawl space, the threat of high humidity, wood rot, and insects vanishes. Lastly, the SaniDry Sedona was installed in the basement to create a comfortable living space. Mold spores and other toxins are removed, creating a dry and healthy environment.
With these systems in place, the homeowner can confidently transform the basement into a playroom with peace of mind that it will remain dry and temperate.
