When peace of mind was almost a forgotten feeling for a homeowner in Billerica, MA, Erickson Foundation Solutions came to restore not just their home's structural integrity but also their comfort and safety. The main floor of their house started showing unmistakable signs of distress with alarming horizontal wall cracks - a clear signal that something was seriously wrong underneath. Concerned their house might eventually cave in, they reached out to us, hoping to find a solution that was both effective and dependable.

Our mission was clear from the get-go. First up, our Customer Care team swung into action, setting up a home inspection visit to unravel the mystery of the failing structure. Then, System Design Specialist Debra Rayborn from our team took a meticulous look at the issues, performed a thorough assessment, and identified the underlying problem: the crawl space needed urgent attention and a robust solution. Following our detailed diagnosis, we recommended the installation of SmartJack - a proven system designed to stabilize and lift sagging crawl spaces back to their original position. The installment phase was smooth and efficient. Our production team, equipped with experience and empathy, embarked on transforming the unsettling crawl space into a solid foundation that the homeowners could trust. With SmartJack in place, the troubling signs of a caving structure dissipated, wall cracks ceased to expand, and peace of mind was reinstated.

Recently in Billerica, MA, we had the opportunity to help a homeowner who was confronting a common yet distressing problem: water intrusion in their beautifully finished basement. This wasn't just a frustration; it threatened to ruin the space they had put so much into.

Following our process, they reached out to our Customer Care team, distressed over the damaged finished walls and floor, seeking not just a fix, but a permanent solution. After scheduling an inspection, our System Design Specialist Kenneth Calabrese dove deep into understanding the extent of the issue. It was clear that simply removing the water wouldn't cut it; we needed to prevent future occurrences to protect the homeowner’s investment in their basement. The solution presented promised not just to extract the current invasive water but to thwart future intrusion attempts. Our experienced crew stepped in, installing WaterGuard along with the homeowner's existing sump pump, ensuring that any would-be water intruders would be swiftly captured and redirected before causing harm. The final touch - a new discharge line equipped with IceGuard for added protection against freezing conditions, ensuring the system's effectiveness year-round. Recognizing their need for restored walls that could stand up to the challenge, we installed the Everlast Half Wall. Resilient, not just in the face of moisture but embodying a lasting finish, it brought their basement back to its original glory — and then some.

The homeowner was relieved, to say the least. They witnessed their basement transform from a damp, worrisome space back into the cozy, welcoming area it was intended to be, fully protected against future water challenges. We left the job knowing we didn't just repair a basement; we restored peace of mind, cementing our mission to provide remarkable customer experiences driven by reliable, long lasting solutions.

When a homeowner in Billerica, MA, reached out to us at Erickson Foundation Solutions, they were battling with a less-than-ideal crawl space that significantly impacted their home's overall health and storage capabilities. They envisioned a safe, dry, and clean area where they could store belongings without worry. Moisture and the risk of mold were major concerns causing sleepless nights. Understanding their needs, we were ready to transform their situation.

Our approach began with a heartfelt conversation to grasp the depth of their concerns, followed by a home visit from Kenneth Calabrese, one of our System Design Specialists. Kenneth conducted a thorough inspection of the crawl space, diagnosing the damp conditions that not only threatened the structure's integrity but also the homeowner's health and the safety of their storage items. Our recommendation? A seamless combination of CleanSpace and SaniDry Sedona - the definitive duo to bid goodbye to moisture troubles and welcome a healthier living environment. The installation process was sleek and systematic, a testimony to our team's expertise and coordination. We rolled out the CleanSpace liner, a durable, bright white blanket that now acts as a sturdy protective layer against moisture and pests. It was like watching the crawl space take a deep, fresh breath, transforming into a potentially habitable and definitely storage-friendly area. Next, the SaniDry Sedona swooped in, a compact yet powerful dehumidifier that tirelessly works to maintain a dry, comfortable environment, deterring mold and mildew in the process.

The outcome was a significantly improved home environment: a clean, dry crawl space safe for storage without worrying about damage or health adversities.

When a homeowner from Billerica, MA called us, troubled by leaks in their basement each time it rained, we knew we had to help. Their complaints stemmed from an old, failing sump pump that couldn't handle the excessive rainwater, leaving their basement damp and vulnerable to water damage. Understanding the frustration and the urgency of the need for a reliable solution, our team was ready to spring into action.

First, our courteous Customer Care team quickly coordinated a home inspection to dive deep into the root of the problem. Upon arriving, our System Design Specialist, through a thorough inspection, pinpointed the malfunctioning sump pump as the primary culprit. With the homeowner's needs in mind, we recommended a triple-threat solution: our advanced TripleSafe Sump Pump system complemented by the innovative WaterGuard interior drainage system and our IceGuard discharge protection. The beauty of the TripleSafe Sump Pump lies in its unique tri-pump design, offering triple the protection against flooding. Paired with the WaterGuard system, designed to expertly channel water away from the basement, and IceGuard which prevents discharge line freezes, it promised total peace of mind for the homeowner, regardless of the weather. Our proficient production team, comprising of skilled foreman Justin Broussard and dedicated installers, then took to work, seamlessly integrating these solutions into the homeowner’s basement. Not only did we replace the inefficient sump pump, but we also fortified the basement's water management system, ensuring that leaks and moisture would be a problem of the past.

The outcome? A dry, secure basement, just as the homeowner wished. No more dampness, no more stress about the next rainy day. 

At Erickson Foundation Solutions, we had the rewarding experience of improving a homeowner's situation in Billerica, MA, where a well-loved pool deck had seen better days. The homeowner was grappling with a pool area that was not only an eyesore due to serious cracking but also posed a significant safety risk for family and guests alike with its uneven surfaces.

After reaching out to us, our friendly Customer Care team promptly set up a home inspection to assess the situation. When our System Design Specialist Tom Armano arrived, it didn't take long to diagnose the underlying issues. The solution was clear: our advanced PolyLevel and NexusPro products could not only address the cosmetic concerns but also ensure a robust, durable repair. PolyLevel, an innovative foam injection, was our first order of business. This product is a game-changer for lifting and leveling concrete surfaces back to their original state, with minimal disruption. The process was fascinating to witness, as the once sunken areas around the pool were efficiently raised to eliminate tripping hazards. Following this, NexusPro was employed to seal the cracks and joints, not only enhancing the safety features but also vastly improving the appearance of the pool deck. This two-fold approach effectively restored both function and aesthetics to the pool area, making it ready for endless summer enjoyment.

At Erickson Foundation Solutions, we recently had the opportunity to work with a homeowner in Billerica, MA, who was facing a critical challenge. Preparing their home for sale, they discovered that the basement leaked during heavy rainfalls, risking damage to personal belongings and affecting the overall value of their property. Understanding the urgency and significance of the situation, the homeowner reached out to us for a reliable solution.

Our process kicked off with an initial contact from the homeowner to our dedicated Customer Care team, who promptly scheduled a home inspection. Our System Design Specialist, Debra Rayborn, then visited the property for a thorough inspection to understand the extent of the water intrusion. Based on the findings, Debra recommended a comprehensive waterproofing solution, including the installation of our proven WaterGuard drainage system, the TripleSafe Sump Pump for guaranteed water eviction, and an IceGuard attachment to protect against freezing during the colder months. Our production team, consisting of knowledgeable foreman Justin Broussard and skilled installers, set to work, executing the plan meticulously. The team installed the WaterGuard system along the basement's perimeter to intercept water, the TripleSafe Sump Pump to efficiently pump out any water accumulation, and the IceGuard system to ensure that the discharge line would not freeze over, no matter how cold it got.

The outcome was both immediate and impactful. The homeowner was able to confidently proceed with preparations to sell their property, secure in the knowledge that their basement was now effectively protected against any future water damage. This experience was not only a testament to Erickson Foundation Solutions' commitment to providing a remarkable customer experience but also to our capacity to deliver reliable and lasting solutions.

Recently, a homeowner in Billerica, MA, found themselves struggling with a rather common but troubling issue - a crack in their foundation wall leaking water into their basement. Understandably concerned about the potential damage and the risks posed to their home's structural integrity, they reached out to us, Erickson Foundation Solutions, for help.

Upon receiving the call, our dedicated Customer Care team quickly sprang into action, scheduling a thorough home inspection. Our procedures are designed to ensure no time is wasted, so not long after, one of our experienced System Design Specialists, Debra Rayborn, was at the homeowner's door, ready to assess the situation. The problem was clear: a foundation crack causing unwelcomed water intrusion, something our team tackles with expertise on a regular basis. Drawing from our broad array of solutions, we recommended a seamless blend of our top products: WaterGuard for efficient interior drainage, CleanSpace wall system to provide an impenetrable barrier against any moisture, and FlexiSpan sealant to definitively seal off the crack. Together, these products form a virtually unbeatable defense against basement water problems, tailor-made for this home's specific issues. Once the plan was approved by the homeowner, our highly skilled production team, equipped with top-notch tools and a determined work ethic, got to down to business. They meticulously executed our waterproofing strategy, carefully installing each product with precision and attention to detail. Their professionalism and tidiness during the job were of paramount importance, ensuring the site was cleaner than when they arrived.

The outcome was nothing short of effective. The homeowner was thrilled to see every trace of seepage eradicated, leaving them with a pleasantly dry basement, free from the anxiety of future water issues.

Fran H. of Billerica, Massachusetts had been experiencing wet basement problems so intensely to the point where she was considering selling the home. Water would seep through the basement floor and ruin all of the finished flooring. Looking for a permanent waterproofing solution, she reached out to Erickson foundation Solutions.

Our Design Specialist, Nikki Burke, went out to the home to complete a free home inspection. After concluding the inspection, Nikki discussed a variety of options to help meet Fran's needs. Nikki ultimately recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage, TrenchDrain surface drainage, our TripleSafe sump pump system, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Our crew first started the job by removing the lower drywall in order to make space for the WaterGuard system. This system is installed to the bottom of basement walls in order to collect outside water and filter it to the sump pump. TrenchDrain was installed to reroute water around the fireplace since WaterGuard could not be installed there. The two systems connect together to continue to the flow of water to the sump pump. Once the water reaches the sump basin, the three-pump system ensures that water will always be pumped out of the home. Once WaterGuard is connected to the sump pump, the system is tested and then cemented in place. An exterior discharge line was plumbed to the sump pump, allowing it to remove water from the home. Lastly, our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to remove moisture in the basement and create an overall more comfortable living space.

Once all of these systems were installed, foreman Patrick Montaine performed a final walkthrough with Fran to present the work that was done and answer any remaining questions. Fran was thrilled that her finished basement was now guaranteed to stay dry!

A homeowner in Billerica, Massachusetts purchased their split-level home 27 years ago. In 2007, they built a sizable addition on the back of their home. For about 15 years, they had no issues with the addition, but they noticed two to three years ago that the doors and windows inside the addition were becoming tight and hard to open. After researching the potential causes, the homeowner suspected that their foundation might be the problem. They contacted EFS to request a free foundation inspection, and our Design Specialist, Jason Vachon, met with them to examine the foundation. 

Jason inspected the foundation wall, windows, doors, and other features inside the addition to determine the problem and find a solution. He concluded that the issue was around 2" of settlement at the rear of the addition, which caused the doors and windows to become tight. Jason recommended using Push Piers and PolyLevel to lift and stabilize the foundation. 

Our installation team began by exposing the foundation footing and installing 14 Push Piers around the three walls of the structure. Once the piers were in place, our hydraulic press pushed them to the proper pressure, and we tamped and backfilled the dirt over the piers. Next, the team drilled tiny injection portholes in the slab so they could inject PolyLevel below the slab. They injected PolyLevel into each porthole to fill any voids below the slab. Once all the voids were filled, the team plugged all the portholes with concrete. 

The team then cleaned up and took the homeowners on a final walkthrough to show them everything that was installed. The crew answered any questions the homeowners had before leaving.

A homeowner in Billerica, Massachusetts, had lived in their home for almost 20 years and this year they started to notice some cracks in their foundation wall. Recently they installed a new oil tank and started to notice cracking after the tank was installed. Their home was built in the 1950s and this is the first issue they have seen with the foundation. To address their concerns they decided to call EFS for a free inspection, our design specialist found the cracks in their foundation wall were forming because of pressure from the exterior of the home. Our design specialist recommended installing PowerBraces against the foundation wall to add support. 

Our production team began by marking the foundation wall where each PowerBrace will be installed. After marking where each PowerBrace will go the team then had to determine which top bracket they will use for each one. The team determined they were going to use 4 top bridge brackets and 1 top lever bracket. Now the team was able to start installing the L brackets a couple of inches away from the base of the foundation wall. Once the L brackets were installed, the team then secured the top brackets to the floor joists above. After the brackets were installed the team placed the PowerBrace in between the L bracket and the wall and connected the top of the PB to the top bracket. Once secured the team tightened the top bracket to support the wall and prevent further cracking. 

The homeowner was happy with the results of the PowerBrace installation. 

A homeowner in Billerica, Massachusetts, has children that live in their home. The children liked using the basement to play in but haven't in a while due to radon concerns. The homeowners had the basement tested for radon and the levels came back at 6.0-6.4 pCi/L. The homeowner would like to get the radon levels down below 4.0 pCi/L. Our design specialist recommended installing a radon mitigation system.

Our production team installed a radon mitigation system into the home. The team started chipping an extraction point through the slab in the rear right of the home. The team made a run of PVC from the extraction point and connected it to the fan that is installed on the exterior of the home. The radon pipe is vented over the roofline of the home to ensure no radon can re-enter the home from the outside. 

This homeowner in Billerica, Massachusetts has lived in their home for 10 years. They have had an issue where their basement will flood when they lose power. This problem has been occurring since they moved into their home. They replaced the sump pump in their basement 2 years ago and the issue still happens. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Stephen Caron inspected the basement. Stephen first checked to see if anything was wrong with the sump pump. He found that the sump pump works but doesn't have a battery backup. Stephen found that the rest of the basement is outfitted with some drainage. Stephen recommended installing a Triple Safe, Ice Guard, WaterGuard, and a SaniDry.

Crew Lead Chippy Cortijo and his team installed a Triple Safe with a battery backup, Ice Guard, 93 feet of WaterGuard, and a SaniDry into the basement. 

This homeowner in Billerica, Massachusetts had noticed that the floors in their addition were starting to sag. They have recently noticed some cracking in doorways and windows. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Justin Wenner inspected the home. Justin found that the floors aren't sagging but slopping. The floors are sloping because the addition in the back of their home is sinking. Justin did some measuring around the foundation and found that one corner of the addition is sinking about 3". With the house sinking, the cracking in the doorways, windows, and the floors slopping confirms that the home is actively settling. Justin recommended installing 8 Push Piers to the addition of the home to ensure that the addition doesn't start pulling on the main section of the home. 

Crew Lead Chris Tremblay and his team installed 8 Push Piers on the corner of the addition to permanently stabilize it.  

This homeowner in Billerica, Massachusetts had a neighbor that had a radon fan installed in their home recently. The homeowners were curious about the radon levels in their home. They decided to call EFS for a CRM test and Inspection for their home. 

Design Specialist Kenny Calabrese dropped off a CRM test a couple of days before his appointment with the homeowners. The CRM test takes 24 hours to conduct a full test. Kenny inspected the home on the day of the appointment and found a couple of cracks in the walls and floors that radon gas was most likely seeping through. Kenny recommended installing a radon mitigation system with two extraction points to reduce the radon levels in the home. 

Crew Lead Dillon Kingsbury and his team arrived at the home and installed the radon mitigation system into the home. 

Paul E. of Billerica, Massachusetts was experiencing cracking and settling around his pool. He hasn't been using the pool very much because it needs work. He thought now would be a good time as any to try and repair the settling first than fixing the issues within the pool. Paul doesn't want the settling of the pool deck to get worse and cause more problems. Paul called Erickson Foundation Solutions about coming to his home and inspecting the settlement around his pool deck.

Design Specialist Kenny Calabrese, came to the home to inspect the concrete pool deck. He found and confirmed what Paul had already known. Kenny proposed a solution to Paul's concrete settlement issue. He proposed using PolyLEVEL to fill the voids and relevel the concrete surrounding the pool. 

Crew Lead Nick Melo and his team came to the home and injected PolyLEVEL under the Pool Deck and releveled the entire patio while solving the settlement issue at the same time.
