Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire wants to turn her basement into a living space. Before being able to use the space as a music and workout room, she wanted to make sure the basement would stay dry all the time. Creating a waterproofed basement was essential to ensure that damaged personal belongings would not occur.

After reaching out to our team, Design Specialist, John Prince, went out to the home to conduct a free home inspection. After completing the inspection, John recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage and TripleSafe sump pump system. This system is designed to intercept water before entering the foundation and pump it out of the home. The WaterGuard system is installed along the perimeter of the foundation to collect water before being exposed to the basement walls or floor, and then diverting it to the sump pump. The sump pump system sits in a basin where water is collected and pumps the water out of the home through an exterior discharge line. IceGuard was attached to the discharge line to prevent it from freezing. A frozen drainage line can lead to water backup, resulting in a potential basement flood.

With this system installed, the homeowner can use the living space with peace of mind knowing that her music and workout equipment are safe from leaks and flooding!

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire is preparing to sell their home and is looking to make the right investments to increase its value. This includes addressing the bulkhead door that has begun to rust and allows water to seep into the basement. In search of a company that offers high-quality installation services, they contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Upon inspecting the bulkhead door, our System Design Specialist, Michael LaMalfa, advised the installation of a new one. Crew foreman Justin Broussard and his team, with meticulous attention to detail, diligently removed the decayed bulkhead door and installed a replacement.

The installation of the new bulkhead door has successfully prevented water from entering the basement and has significantly enhanced the aesthetic appeal. Consequently, the homeowner has fulfilled their initial objective of the project, which was to increase the property's value.

This home was built on an old fill site, and one day began settling at a rapid rate. In total, the home sank 9 inches. We used push piers to stabilize the home and keep it from sinking any further. We were even able to lift the entire foundation and home up almost back to level, without doing any damage to the structure. In these before and after photos, notice how the lally columns are completely detached from the supporting beams in the basement. We lifted the foundation walls on the perimeter, but the slab in the basement itself was still sunken and crumbling. These columns were replaced with Smartjacks.

The home owners who were once distraught and worried about losing their home are now thrilled and happy to have a stabilized home.
