Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

This home in Westford, MA had a large horizontal crack in it's cinderblock foundation wall. As the wall began to increasingly buckle and lean inwards, the homeowner decided to seek a solution before the problem got worse. 

Our team proposed and installed PowerBrace steel brackets to permanently stabilize the bowing wall. This before and after gallery highlights the PowerBrace system, which will prevent the foundation wall from leaning in any further. The wall anchors can also be tightened to help straighten the wall under certain conditions as well.

A homeowner in Westford, Massachusetts, had been living in their home for the past 30 years. Since they moved in the foundation has had a small horizontal crack along the front-facing wall. Over the past 3 years, the crack had gotten worse and that wall had started to bow inward. Our design specialist recommended installing PowerBraces along the front-facing foundation wall. Our production team installed 7 PowerBraces to the foundation wall.

A homeowner in Westford, Massachusetts, has lived in their home for over a decade. Since they moved in they have been concerned with radon levels in their home. One of the homeowners works a lot in the basement and has decided to call EFS to install a Radon Mitigation System in their home. The homeowner met with our Design Specialist and they created a custom Radon Mitigation System for their home. 

Our installation team installed the system into the home and reduced the radon levels to below 4.0 pCi/L. 

This homeowner in Westford, Massachusetts, has seen water entering their basement. Their old sump pump isn't doing the job it used to, so the homeowners decided to call EFS to find a solution for stopping water from entering their basement. Our Design Specialist visited the home and recommended installing a new sump pump and perimeter drainage into the basement to prevent water from collecting in the basement. 

This homeowner had noticed water accumulating in their basement, but recently it started getting significantly worse. Every time there was heavy rain, the basement would flood. This problem led to an annoying cleanup process, as well as the basement becoming filled with moisture. Signs of mold even started to arise. In order to solve this problem, the homeowner reached out to our Erickson Foundation Solutions team.

After our Design Specialist completed the home inspection, they recommended installing our SuperSump, a sump pump that disposes of unwanted water safely. This water is captured around the perimeter of the basement before having the chance to enter and filtered to the sump pump. Once the water is expelled out of the home, our IceGuard system is attached to the plumbing in order to allow water to flow even if the pipes freeze. This further guarantees that the sump pump won't overflow and flood the basement.

With this waterproof system in place, the homeowner can now rely on his basement being a dry, welcoming space.
