Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Groton, MA contacted us after discovering radon levels of 15 picocuries in their home, significantly above the Environmental Protection Agency’s recommended limit of 4 picocuries. Radon is a harmful gas that can accumulate in the soil beneath a home’s foundation and seep inside, posing serious respiratory health risks over time.

To address this issue, we installed a radon mitigation system. We began by creating two extraction points in the basement floor and fitting PVC pipes to these points, directing them to the exterior of the home. A radon mitigation fan was then installed on the side of the house. This system is designed to draw radon from the soil beneath the home and safely vent it outside, preventing it from entering the living space. Additional PVC piping was extended from the radon fan to surpass the roofline, ensuring the radon gas is released safely away from any entry points.

With the radon mitigation system now in place, the homeowner can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that their long-term health is protected from the dangers of radon exposure.

A homeowner in Orange, New Hampshire lives in a home that was originally built in the 1700s. The homeowners were looking to start renovating the home but wanted to stabilize the foundation and the floor system before beginning the renovation process. Our Design Specialist inspected the home and recommended rebuilding the stone foundation wall with a new Masonry Block wall. Our team removed the old stone foundation wall and installed a new Masonry wall in its place. 

Faced with a soggy basement daunting every homeowner's comfort in Ashland, MA, we were called in to turn things around. Initially, the problem seemed tough - the challenge was to not just waterproof the basement but also preserve the meticulous lawn aesthetics the homeowner valued.

This innovative solution engineered to fight against freezing while burying the exterior discharge line nurtures the lawn’s allure, showcasing our commitment to not only solving the issue at hand decisively but doing so with an acute awareness of preserving the home's beauty. Through our approach, Erickson Foundation Solutions once again ensured a home’s problem was eclipsed by a lasting, aesthetically pleasing solution demonstrating we’re more than up to the task.

Our team was called out to a home in Stow, Massachusetts to find a solution to a burnt-out SaniDry plug. The homeowner called EFS to book a service call with one of our Service Technicians. Our Service Tech Justin came out to the home and proceeded to address the plug on the SaniDry. 

Justin found the plug of the SaniDry was plugged into a surge-protected power strip which must have shorted because it was charred when Justin showed up. Justin brought an extra power cord that works with the SaniDry and rerouted the power to a different outlet because the old plug needed to be repaired. 

A homeowner in Stow, Massachusetts, had lived in their home for the past 20 years. Over the past 20 years, they have always had dampness in their crawlspace and have finally wanted to prevent the moisture and the damp smell in their crawlspace. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist recommended encapsulating the crawlspace in the basement with CleanSpace. 

Our team encapsulated the entire crawlspace to prevent moisture from entering the crawlspace using CleanSpace.
