Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A home in Nashua, New Hampshire, had temporary supports in their basement that have been installed for years. The homeowner was planning on finishing their basement and wanted to replace the temp supports with something stronger. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist looked over the entire basement and recommended installing 6 SmartJacks under the main beam. 

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire has lived in their home for the past 35 years. About 10 years ago they noticed a crack in their foundation wall.

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire, had lived in their home for about a year before they started to notice water coming into the basement during rain storms. The home has a finished basement and the homeowners would like to find a way to protect it. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their basement and our Design Specialist examined the space and found a solution to prevent water from entering the basement. We recommended installing a perimeter drainage system to collect any water and pump it out of the basement. Our installation team installed the system and was able to eliminate the water concerns in the basement. 

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire recently bought a new furnace and wanted to waterproof the basement to protect it. The homeowner also wanted to use the basement area for storage, and insisted on making sure that the belongings would be kept safe. Our team was happy to evaluate the situation and offer a permanent solution to the problem.

Our Design Specialist recommended installing a full waterproofing system, composed of our TripleSafe sump pump, WaterGuard perimeter drainage system, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The WaterGuard drainage system can be seen in the attached after photo. This system is installed at the perimeter of the foundation and safely collects water before entering the basement. The system then delivers the water to the sump pump. The sump pump then disposes the water out of the home through an exterior drainage line. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier is installed to keep moisture out of the basement and provide a comfortable and healthy climate.

With these systems working together, a fully waterproofed basement is created. The new furnace, along with all the other belongings in the basement, will be kept dry and protected.

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire was sick of using the shop vacuum to clean up her wet basement. She wanted to look for a permanent solution that would keep her basement dry and reduce humidity.

Our team recommended installing a TripleSafe sump pump system, WaterGuard perimeter drainage, and CleanSpace vapor barrier. This waterproofing system is designed to keep water out of the basement by capturing it along the border of the foundation before entering the home, and then filtering it to the sump pump. The sump pump system removes water out of the home through an exterior discharge line. In the photo, CleanSpace is pictured. CleanSpace is a wall encapsulation system that reduces moisture in the home. This system eliminates humidity, adds insulation to the home, prevents wood rot and pests, and can even keep floors warm.

With these systems in place, a temperate and dry living space is created. Whether the homeowner decides to use the space for storage or build a fully finished basement, she has peace of mind that the basement is safe from water.
