Chichester, NH's Professional Concrete Repair & Radon Mitigation Company

At Erickson Foundation Solutions, we recently had the opportunity to help a homeowner in Chichester, NH, who was facing a troubling issue with their basement. The original sump pump system in their home was failing, unable to keep up with the job, resulting in water finding its way around the perimeter of the basement. This constant water intrusion led to an unwelcoming guest: mold.

Understanding the homeowner's frustration and the urgency of the situation, our team sprang into action. First, our Customer Care team quickly scheduled a home inspection to accurately diagnose the issue. Soon after, one of our experienced System Design Specialists, Jason Vachon, visited the homeowner's property. From there, they provided the homeowner with a detailed explanation of our recommended solution to assure peace of mind and a dry basement. Our proposed solution involved the installation of our cutting-edge WaterGuard system, an UltraSump sump pump, and our IceGuard system. The WaterGuard system is specifically designed to intercept water at the basement perimeter and direct it to the sump pump, away from the basement. The UltraSump system is a powerhouse sump pump equipped with a battery backup system to ensure the basement stays dry, even in power outages. Integrating the IceGuard system ensured that water could be expelled from the sump pump even if the pipes freeze, a common concern in our region. Once the homeowner agreed to our plan, our foreman Ryan Champagne and team of skilled installers got to work. They seamlessly integrated the WaterGuard, UltraSump System, and IceGuard into the home's existing structure, providing a comprehensive waterproofing solution. The installation process was executed with the aim of minimizing disruption to the homeowner's daily life.

After the installation, the transformation was palpable. The homeowner's basement was now fortified against future water issues, providing peace of mind and significantly improving their home environment. This project exemplifies our commitment to delivering solutions that not only solve immediate concerns but also protect homes into the future.

Ruth H. of Chichester, New Hampshire had personal belongings damaged as a result from water entering through the foundation wall. These leaks occurred during heavy rains, creating a frustrating cleanup process. Looking to protect the storage area, she reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Design Specialist, Jason Vachon, went out to Ruth's home to provide a free home inspection. After evaluation, Jason recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage, TrenchDrain surface drainage, and SuperSump sump pump to best accommodate Ruth's needs. WaterGuard collects water along the edge of the basement, protecting foundation walls and floor. TrenchDrain connects to WaterGuard, rerouting water where WaterGuard is unable to be installed. The water collected by this system flows to the sump basin, where it is then pumped out of the home by the SuperSump. A discharge line was installed to the SuperSump and plumbed to the backyard, safely away from the home.

After our installation crew installed and tested these systems, crew leader Patrick Montine performed a final walkthrough with Ruth. She was thrilled that her basement will now stay dry all the time, no longer having to dread the cleaning process.

A homeowner in Chichester, New Hampshire, has lived in their home for the past 20 years. This year a tree fell on the corner of their home and caused damage to the roof and the foundation. The homeowner filed an insurance claim in which the insurance company told the homeowner to find a company to repair the home. They reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist Isaac inspected the home's foundation and found that the corner of the foundation was the only part affected by the tree falling on the house. Isaac recommended installing a block masonry wall and a new egress window to the cracked section of the foundation. Before installation could begin the homeowner was required to remove a section of the front porch to give us access to the foundation. 

Our installation team began by exposing the foundation wall and began removing the damaged section of the wall. The team removed all the debris and began preparing to install the Masonry Block Wall. The team began laying the masonry blocks and built up the wall. At the top of the foundation, the team installed an egress window and installed some waterproofing on the outside foundation wall to protect the foundation wall. 

The homeowners were very pleased with the results of the project.  

A homeowner in Chichester, New Hampshire was dealing with sloping floors in their home. The sloping spans from inside the home out to a covered porch. Our design specialist recommended installing SmartJacks under the covered porch because the homeowner had planned on renovating the interior of the home soon. 

Our production team installed 9 SmartJacks under the covered porch. 

In Chichester, New Hampshire, a homeowner has experienced cracking in their garage for the past 7 years. The cracks have been getting worse and worse over the years. The homeowners are continuing to work on home improvement projects. They wanted a company to come out in the spring to fix the concrete in their garage. They had reached out to a couple of companies and only a couple could do an installation in the spring. They had a couple of companies inspect their home, and most of the companies recommended replacing the entire garage floor. When EFS came to their home for the inspection, they were surprised by the proposal. The EFS Design Specialist recommended installing PolyLevel and replacing a crumbled section of concrete. 

The homeowners were blown away by the knowledge and reputation of EFS and their Design Specialist. 

In springtime, the EFS crew installed the PolyLevel and poured new concrete to repair a small section that had crumbled over the years prior.
