Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A resident in Pepperell, Massachusetts, discovered a medical condition that prompted them to seek the installation of a radon mitigation system in their dwelling. They contacted EFS to conduct a radon test, which revealed an average level of around 9 pCi/L that needed to be reduced. To address this, our Design Specialist Jared Pavluvcik suggested a radon mitigation system with two extraction points, which we promptly installed. Thanks to our team's efforts, the radon levels in the home were successfully lowered to a safe level.

Homeowners in Pepperell, Massachusetts noticed a few months ago that water would infiltrate the basement. This was odd for them, because they already had a sump pump installed. As time went on, water would enter the foundation from all angles during heavy remains and snow melt off. This caused concern because the basement was used for storage space. With the problem worsening, they wanted a company that they could trust to get the job done right.

After reaching out to our team, a Design Specialist went out to the home to conduct a free home inspection. We recommended replacing the sump pump with our TripleSafe sump pump system, as well as perimeter drainage. This system captures water along the entire border of the foundation and filters it to the pump, where it is then expelled out of the home through an exterior discharge line. Our three-pump system ensures that water will always be properly pumped out of the home. One pump handles normal water levels at 1/3 horsepower. The second pump is activated when water levels rise, such as heavy rains or snow melting as mentioned earlier. Finally, a battery-powered back up pump operates during loss of power.

With this waterproofing system in place, these homeowners are guaranteed to have a dry basement. They now have peace of mind that the belongings in their storage space are safe.

Nancy B. of Groton Massachusetts was experiencing high radon levels in their home. The radon levels were tested between 48-56 pCi/L. They have a partly finished basement and would like to have a radon mitigation system installed. Design Specialist John Prince came to the home and inspected the basement. He created a design for a radon mitigation system in the basement that comes out underneath the side steps of the home. 

Crew Lead Josh Provost and his team came to the home and installed the radon mitigation system. Once the radon system was installed the radon levels were reduced dramatically.

This homeowner in Groton, Massachusetts recently got their oil tank installed in the basement. When the tank was being installed the homeowner noticed that the rock wall near the oil tank was crumbling and chunks appeared to be falling off the wall. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection.

Design Specialist Kenny Calabrese inspected the basement and the rock wall foundation. Kenny confirmed that the wall is crumbling and recommended a solution. Kenny had noticed some of the support posts in the basement seemed weak. Kenny's recommended solution is to install an Auxiliary wall to the section of the wall that is crumbling and to replace some of the supports in the basement with SmartJacks. 

This homeowner in Groton, Massachusetts had purchased their home 2 years ago as a fixer-upper with foundation issues. When the homeowner purchased the home they believed they could do some of the repairs themselves. The homeowner doesn't think that is the case anymore. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

The design specialist recommended a masonry wall rebuild

The EFS team first supported the home using temporary posts. They then chipped away the old foundation wall down to the footing. Next, they poured a new footing. Once the footing was set they started building the masonry wall.
