Your Experienced Boxford, MA Concrete Repair & Radon Mitigation Company

At Erickson Foundation Solutions, we recently had the pleasure of serving a homeowner in Boxford, MA, who was grappling with a persistent basement waterproofing challenge. Every time heavy rains hit, water found its way into the basement through cold joints, leaving behind small, concerning puddles. Understandably, the homeowner reached out to us hoping to find a dependable solution that would finally put an end to this frustrating issue.

Our process began as usual with a phone call to our Customer Care team, who promptly set up a home inspection. Our System Design Specialist Jason Vachon then visited the residence to understand the problem fully. After a thorough inspection, the recommendation was clear: install WaterGuard - our premium interior perimeter drainage system designed to effectively capture wall and floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor; IceGuard - to allow water to escape from a sump discharge line if the pipe freezes or becomes blocked; and SuperSump - a top-rated sump pump system offering stellar performance and reliability. Our production team got to work, integrating these solutions seamlessly into the homeowner's basement. The installation was efficient, our team making sure to keep the space tidy and minimize any disruption.

The outcome was exactly what we strive for at Erickson Foundation Solutions - a bone-dry basement, even after the heaviest rains, and a thoroughly impressed homeowner. No more worrying about water intrusion or the annoyance of dealing with puddles. This job, like many others we find ourselves tackling, wasn't just about installing products; it was about restoring peace of mind and delivering on our promise of a remarkable customer experience alongside a reliable, long-lasting solution to home's problems.

At Erickson Foundation Solutions, we recently had the opportunity to assist a homeowner in Boxford, MA, who was facing an unnerving issue with their pool deck. The homeowner noticed slight settlement around the exterior perimeter on the left side of their pool, specifically around the diving board area, which led to a noticeable teeter at the coping stones. This not only posed safety concerns but also detracted from the overall enjoyment and aesthetic of their outdoor space.

Understanding their frustration, the homeowner reached out to us hoping we could provide a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution to restore their pool deck's functionality and appearance. Upon arriving at the home, our System Design Specialist Debra Rayborn conducted a thorough inspection of the pool area. She diagnosed the problem as settling of the concrete, which is not uncommon but requires precision to correct. We proposed utilizing our PolyLevel foam injection process for strategically lifting and leveling the concrete without the need for invasive techniques often associated with traditional concrete repair. NexusPro was also suggested to deal with any cracks and joints, ensuring a seamless finish. Our production team, equipped with these solutions, meticulously undertook the task. Injecting the PolyLevel foam provided the necessary lift and stabilization around the perimeter and especially near the diving board, significantly reducing the teeter effect. Although there was a challenge created by a wall with decorative stones limiting complete eradication of the teeter, we communicated transparently with the homeowner about these constraints. They appreciated our honesty and were satisfied with the considerable improvements made.

In the end, despite the hurdle, the customer was pleased with the transformation of their pool deck. The sunken areas were raised, ensuring a safer and more appealing outdoor space.

When a homeowner in Boxford, MA noticed the perimeter of their pool deck was gradually sinking into the ground, concerns about safety and aesthetics made them reach out to us, Erickson Foundation Solutions. It was clear they needed a fix that was both reliable and wouldn't disrupt the summer fun in their backyard. Understanding the emergency of this situation, our Customer Care team quickly set an appointment. After a thorough inspection by our System Design Specialist, George Gouthier, it was determined that two of our best solutions, PolyLevel and NexusPro, were the necessary duo to address this dive-deep problem. PolyLevel, an advanced polyurethane foam, was chosen for its precise and minimally invasive application. We injected this under the sinking pool deck, where it expanded and lifted the concrete to its original level with pinpoint accuracy. Following this, NexusPro was used to seal joints and cracks, ensuring that the repair would last through New England's hottest summers and coldest winters. Our professional and dedicated foreman Kris Sergi, along with the installation team, completed this job efficiently, with a focus on leaving the landscape as beautiful as we found it—minus the sinking, of course. In no time, the homeowner's pool deck was not only safe but looked as good as the day it was first poured. We left them with a lasting solution that assured their poolside lounging was secure and their investment protected. At Erickson Foundation Solutions, delivering a remarkable customer experience and reliable solutions isn't just our mission—it's a commitment we fulfill with every job.

A Boxford, Massachusetts homeowner has resided in their home for 20 years, but has consistently seen water seep into their basement since purchasing it. They had hoped to use the area for storage, but the constant seepage made them hesitant. After contacting EFS for a complimentary basement inspection, Design Specialist Michael LaMalfa assessed the area with the homeowner and recommended installing WaterGuard, TrenchDrain, FloodRing, and SuperSump to prevent further water damage. 

Branden Edwards and his Installation Team then chipped out a 6-inch wide trench around the basement perimeter, as well as a hole for the SuperSump. Additional drainage was implemented around the oil tank and water heater. The team proceeded to lay the drainage into the trenches and install the sump pump into the pit. Once the drainage was set, concrete was poured to secure it into place. The team also installed a FloodRing around the water heater while the concrete cured. 

The homeowner was thrilled with the results of the project, as they no longer have to worry about water damage in their basement.

A homeowner in Boxford, Massachusetts, found that their home has radon levels slightly above the recommended amount. The homeowners have half of their basement finished and the other half was unfinished. The homeowners were looking to lower the radon levels in the home and find peace of mind. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist Tom custom designed a radon mitigation system for the home. 

Our production team began by creating an extraction point in the unfinished portion of the basement. The team used a coring drill to make a circular hole in the slab so we can fit a PVC pipe to the extraction point. Next, the team fed the PVC pipes from the extraction point to the exterior of the home where we installed the radon fan to the exterior of the home. Once the extraction point was connected to the fan the team then vented the entire system above the roofline of the home to prevent any radon from re-entering the home. 

A homeowner in Boxford, Massachusetts, had just purchased the house that they have lived in for their entire life. The home was built over 150 years ago and the homeowner operates an ice cream business out of the home. The new homeowner plans to make it their forever home. The homeowner will be updating the home in the future, like redoing the kitchen. When they purchased the home an inspector looked through the home to make sure everything was structurally in good standing. The inspector noted that some of the supports in the basement should be replaced if they plan on doing any renovations. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist Kenny recommended installing SmartJacks to replace the old supports in the basement. Kenny additionally recommended installing a SaniDry to control the humidity in the basement. 

Our production team began by chipping out some of the concrete in the slab in the basement where we were going to install the new support. The team then installed and leveled our big footings beneath the concrete slab. Next, the team cut our galvanized steel beams to the correct size and installed them over the footing, and connected them to the beam or supplemental beam by using an adjustable top bracket. The team tightened each of the top brackets to lift the beams above. After the SmartJacks were attached to the beams the team then poured a layer of concrete over the footings to lock them in place and to eliminate any tripping hazard. 

The homeowner was very happy with the results of the projects. They can now move forward with starting to renovate their kitchen. 

Erickson Foundation Solutions recently finished a project on a sunroom in Boxford, Massachusetts. The project was to install EZ posts and SmartJacks. The homeowner had to replace the roof because the water was entering and causing damage. Before the homeowner replaced the roof they wanted to stabilize the foundation of the sunroom. 

The homeowner met with Design Specialist John Prince. John found the 6 original supports of the sunroom are sinking. John had also noticed that there is some sagging on the floor in the sunroom. John recommended installing 6 Helical Piers and 3 SmartJacks with a Supplemental beam under the sunroom. 

Melanie C. of Boxford, MA was experiencing some sinking and cracking in her front walkway as well as her pool deck. She called Erickson Foundation Solutions to see if someone could come out and look at the walkway and her pool deck for repair. 

Design Specialist Royce Potts came to the home and inspected the walkway and pool deck. After inspecting the concrete surfaces, Royce proposed that Melanie's concrete surfaces should be lifted and leveled. The product the team will use to lift and level the concrete will be PolyLevel. 

Crew Lead Nick Melo and his team came to the home and lifted and leveled the front walkway and the pool deck by injecting PolyLevel under the sinking slabs. PolyLevel will fill any voids under the slabs and then will expand and lift the slab. Using PolyLevel the team can lift each slab as much or as little as they please. 

After the team leveled all of the slabs they sealed all of the cracks too.
