Before, a chilly problem lurked beneath this Burlington home – a damp crawl space where insulation just couldn't hold up, resulting in uncomfortably cold floors. Now, notice in the after photo how our CleanSpace system has completely transformed this space. By sealing away moisture and creating a dry, insulated environment, we've not only tackled the fallout but ensured warmth from the ground up. This is the kind of reliable, long-term solution we take pride in offering to every homeowner.
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!
A new homeowner in Woburn, Massachusetts, had concerns about moisture and pest entering their crawlspace. They decided to call Erickson Foundation Solution for a free inspection.

A homeowner in Salem, New Hampshire had been experiencing drywall cracking and sagging floors in the house. With plans to sell the home in the near future, the homeowner wanted to stabilize the floors in order to maintain value of the home. She reached out to Erickson team for a permanent solution.
Our Design Specialist, Liam FitzPatrick, recommended installing SmartJack support posts in the crawl space in order to uplift and stabilize the floors. These SmartJacks are similar to Lally columns, but are able to provide more support to the structure. This system is installed by attaching steel support beams to the floor joists and a sturdy base at the floor. Once all posts are installed, they are adjusted to raise the floors to a level position. A total of six SmartJacks were installed.
The floors in the home were instantly leveled and supported. This homeowner now has peace of mind that the structure of her home is strong and stable.
