Professional Foundation Repair Experts in Charlestown, MA

At Erickson Foundation Solutions, we recently had the opportunity to help a homeowner in Boston, MA, who was struggling with a common yet frustrating problem: every time there was a heavy storm, half of their basement flooded. Knowing the challenges and potential damage that can come from recurring water issues, they reached out to us, hoping for a solution that would guard their home against future weather woes.

Understanding the seriousness of their situation, our Customer Care team promptly scheduled a home inspection to get a firsthand look at the problem. Our onsite System Design Specialist Mark Proctor conducted a thorough assessment and outlined a plan tailored to their needs. To tackle the flooding, we recommended installing a combination of our proven products: the WaterGuard interior drainage system to catch wall and floor joint leaks, the TripleSafe Sump Pump to efficiently pump out collected water, and IceGuard to prevent backups caused by frozen discharge lines during those harsh Boston winters. Upon agreement, our production team, including skilled foreman Gunther Billhardt and dedicated installers, set to work. We employed a carefully strategized method to install the WaterGuard along the basement's perimeter, ensuring it remained inconspicuous while effectively channeling water to the TripleSafe Sump Pump. From there, water would be reliably directed away from the home, with IceGuard providing an essential backup during freezing temperatures.

The outcome was more than just a dry basement following heavy storms. It was peace of mind for the homeowners, knowing they were now protect against water damage. Their satisfaction with our effective, discreet system installation and our cleanup process confirmed we’d stayed true to our mission of delivering a remarkable customer experience coupled with a durable, long-lasting solution to their home’s problem.

Recently, at Erickson Foundation Solutions, we tackled a pressing issue for a homeowner in Charlestown, MA. They were battling water invading their basement through the walls, turning a space meant for comfort into a cause for concern. Understanding how critical a dry basement is for the integrity of a home and the health of those living in it, our team jumped into action.

The homeowner reached out to our Customer Care team, who promptly scheduled a home inspection. Our System Design Specialist, Alberto Navarro visited the house, inspected the situation thoroughly, and identified the best course of action. The recommendation? A comprehensive waterproofing system including our trusted WaterGuard and UltraSump System, complemented by a CleanSpace wall system and an IceGuard for the external discharge line. Our production team, comprised of skilled foreman Anthony Locascio and highly trained installers, arrived at the home ready to tackle the challenge. We began by installing WaterGuard at the basement’s perimeter. This innovative drainage channel effectively captures wall and floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor. Next, the UltraSump System was set up to efficiently pump out the collected water, ensuring the basement stays dry even during heavy rainfall. The CleanSpace wall system was also applied to the walls, acting as a moisture and vapor barrier, while the IceGuard was installed outside to prevent blockages in the discharge line during freezing temperatures.

The outcome? A dry, comfortable basement once more. The homeowners were relieved and satisfied knowing their basement water problem was resolved professionally and permanently. At Erickson Foundation Solutions, delivering a remarkable customer experience and a reliable long-lasting solution isn't just our mission—it's our commitment to each homeowner we serve.

A homeowner in Charlestown, Massachusetts, has lived in their home for the past 25 years. The home was built in the 1950s and some things around the home are at the point of replacement. The homeowners over the last few years have become frustrated with the look and functionality of their bulkhead. They don't like the way it looks anymore and the doors don't work well. The homeowners call EFS for a free inspection of their bulkhead. Our Design Specialist Scott Ruisi met with the homeowners and took measurements of their bulkhead. Scott sent the measurement of their bulkhead to our production team so we could order the correct-sized bulkhead. 

Our installation team led by Eric Witham began by removing the old bulkhead and cleaning up the concrete it sits on. Next, the team began to assemble the new bulkhead and installed the new one into place. The team made sure to seal the perimeter to prevent any water from seeping under or through any cracks around the bulkhead door. The team tested the bulkhead to ensure everything was operational and then they showed the homeowner their new bulkhead.

The homeowners were very pleased with the installation of the bulkhead and they are very happy with the way it looks and operates. 

This homeowner in Charlestown, MA was concerned with the humidity and air quality in the lower level of their home. They had an operational sump pump system already installed, which was effective in keeping their basement from flooding. However, they were still dealing with the problem of high humidity in the air. Our specialist was able to offer the ideal solution in the SaniDry Sedona dehumidification system. 

With the SaniDry installed, the homeowner was able to control the air quality in their basement and no longer had concerns with humidity. The Sedona high performance dehumidification system is fully warrantied and tied directly into their existing pump system with an automatic drain, making it very user friendly. It's an Energy Star rated system with incredible power and durability.

The owner of this property in Charlestown, MA had recently purchased the home, and was taking on various projects in order to clean it up. One of the main projects they wished to complete was cleaning up a storage area in the basement. At the time of our inspection, the space was damp and dirty. The floor was partially covered with ripped plastic that was meant to conceal the dirt floor. It was difficult for the owner to get any use from the space since anything put in there would eventually get dirty or wet from the moisture. 

Our design specialist informed the owner of our industry leading vapor barrier system called CleanSpace. With this vapor barrier installed, the storage space would have cleaner air, less moisture, would prevent unwanted pests from entering the space, and would allow them to get more use of the space (adding more value to their home!).

This was exactly what the homeowner wanted, and with the CleanSpace installed, the homeowner was thrilled with the outcome.
