Melanie D. of Plymouth, New Hampshire has been living in her new home for about 2 months. She had noticed some sagging on the main floor during the repurchase inspection. She would like to have the floors be level or as level as possible. She decided to call Erickson Foundation Solutions about a free inspection.
Design Specialist Paul Magowan arrived at the home and began inspecting the main floor and basement. Paul noticed that in the basement that the lally columns/ temporary supports aren't supporting the home as well as they once did. Paul recommended installing 5 SmartJacks under the main support beam of the home. He also recommended installing two additional supplemental beams that have two SmartJacks supporting each supplemental beam.
Crew Lead Ed Nadreau and his team arrived at the home and began installing the 9 total SmartJacks and two supplemental beams. The crew was able to level the floors and Melanie was very happy with the results.
A homeowner in Burlington, Massachusetts, had lived in their home for the past 22 years. Over the last few winters, the floor above their crawlspace has been especially cold. They decided to call EFS to see if they could find a solution for them. Our Design Specialist recommended installing TerraBlock, CleanSpace, and SilverGlo in the crawlspace to add some insulation to the crawlspace.
A homeowner in Tewksbury, Massachusetts had been dealing with a wet basement. It was very important to protect the space since it was used for storage and utilities. Looking to waterproof the basement, this homeowner reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.
After inspection, our Design Specialist recommended installing CleanSpace vapor barrier and WaterGuard perimeter drainage. This system is designed to encapsulate the wall to block moisture and direct it to the perimeter drainage system. The perimeter drainage system leads to a sump pump that disposes water out of the home. This homeowner already had a sump pump, but with the foundation being surrounded by so much wet soil, this system prevents all the additional water from leaking through the basement walls. Other benefits of this system include insulation, preventing drafts, and creating a more comfortable living space.
Once our installation crew finished the job, they provided a final walkthrough with the homeowner to answer any questions and ensure satisfaction. This homeowner was thrilled that he now had a safe and waterproofed basement!
