Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire had a crack running along their foundation wall. Typically, a crack like this can worsen over time if left untreated. Eventually, this could cause the basement wall to lean and bow, and even potentially collapse. Concerned about the safety of her home, this homeowner reached out to us for a permanent solution.

Our Design Specialist recommended installing PowerBrace, a foundation wall repair system. This system supports and stabilizes bowing and leaning walls, and can even straighten them. Additionally, FlexiSpan, a polyurethane sealant, was installed to seal the crack. This material adjusts to movements in the basement wall and prevents water from making its way through the crack.

With this system in place, the home is now properly supported, and the wall has been stabilized. This homeowner now has peace of mind that her forever home is safe.

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire had been experiencing leaks in her basement. One area that the homeowner was particularly concerned about was the water heater. Looking for a way to keep the basement permanently dry, she reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our Design Specialist, John Prince, conducted a free inspection of the home. After discussion with the homeowner, John recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage, TrenchDrain surface drainage, and TripleSafe sump pump system. This system captures water at the perimeter of the basement and delivers it to the sump pump, where it is then pumped out of the home through an exterior discharge line. When there are areas where WaterGuard is inaccessible, TrenchDrain is installed to continue the flow of water to the sump pump. The TrenchDrain system connects to the WaterGuard system, as can be seen in the after photo.

Once all these systems are installed, they are cemented in place. This homeowner now has peace of mind that her basement will stay dry!

In Wayland, MA, a homeowner was faced with a concerning sight: the concrete floor in one of their bedrooms had sunk by 4 inches, resulting in eye-catching cracks and a worrying gap between the floor and wall. As you can see in the before photo, these were not minor imperfections but significant issues that needed professional attention. Our team at Erickson Foundation Solutions stepped in to turn this problem around. Through the careful application of our PolyLevel product, we efficiently lifted the sunken concrete back to its original position, effectively eliminating the unsightly cracks and restoring the seamless transition between wall and floor. The after photo reveals a flawlessly leveled bedroom floor, demonstrating not just our commitment to providing reliable, long-lasting solutions but also to ensuring a remarkable customer experience. With NexusPro, we sealed the deal — quite literally — by sealing joints and cracks, further fortifying the floor against future damage.

These homeowners in North Chelmsford were tired of their basement having a wet, musty smell. They planned to finish a section of the basement area in the near future, and so knew they needed to solve their water and moisture problem first. Their old sump pump was functional, but sitting in an exposed pit of water, which allowed mold to grow and moisture to spread. 

Our team proposed and installed a complete waterproofing system that would allow them to have a dry basement. First, the walls were encapsulated with CleanSpace vapor barrier, which effectively captures all moisture leaking through the basement walls. Next, we added a perimeter drainage system called WaterGuard along the base of all the foundation walls. Any water entering the basement from the edges of the foundation would be caught by the WaterGuard tracks and directed to the sump pump basin. The TripleSafe system within the basin includes 3 sump pumps and an alarm system. This waterproofing system also comes with a battery back-up, in case the home ever loses power during a storm. 

To further help control moisture levels in the basement, the homeowners purchased a SaniDry dehumidifier, the most effective dehumidifier on the market. This is all backed up by our full warranty and our All Things Basementy network!

With this complete waterproofing system in place, they have peace of mind that their basement will stay dry all the time! 

A homeowner in Lincoln, Massachusetts, has lived in their home for the past 40 years. Years back they noticed moisture and minor seepage in their crawlspace. The problem continued for years until this year when the homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their crawlspace. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowners and talked about their concerns before the specialist inspected the crawlspace. After the inspection, our specialist recommended installing CleanSpace into the crawlspace to encapsulate the space and installing a SaniDry Sedona to control the moisture. This system will prevent water from seeping into the crawlspace and also control the moisture.
