Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in North Andover, MA has been experiencing flooding in their crawl space. This flooding has caused a good amount of damage, as well as mold and odors. Additionally, the crawl space was now struggling to support the rest of the home. This homeowner wanted a permanent solution to eliminate these issues, which is why he reached out to our Erickson Foundation Solutions team.

After a free inspection with our Design Specialist, Nikki Burke recommended installing SmartJacks in the crawl space to withhold and support the structure. Installing a waterproofing system was also essential. In order to do this, our team installed our SmartSump, a sump pump system which collects all the unwanted water and disposes of it safely away from the home. In addition to this, CleanSpace is applied to encapsulate the space. Our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier was also installed to prevent moisture and other undesirable qualities such as mold.

This crawl space was once wet, cold, moldy, and unstable. After installing these products, the crawl space has transformed into a dry and solid foundation. Without worry of water, air is healthy for the household and sagging floors have been restored. This homeowner was thrilled to say the least.

A homeowner in Lee, New Hampshire, has lived in their home for over 30 years. During the winter they find that the floors of their main floor get very cold. They called EFS so we could find a solution to add insulation to their crawlspace. Our Specialist met with the homeowner and inspected the crawlspace. We recommended installing CleanSpace, Drainage Matting, SilverGlo, SmartJacks, and a SaniDry Sedona into the basement. These products will insulate, stabilize, and control the moisture within the basement and help keep the floors warmer during the colder months. 

A homeowner in Middleton, New Hampshire, had purchased their lakeside home just over two years ago. When they purchased the home they noticed the floors in the home seemed to be out of level. They called EFS to have us inspect the crawlspace to look at the supports and the floor system. We recommended replacing the existing cinder block supports with 12 SmartJacks and Supplemental beams to stabilize and level the floors. 

This homeowner in Gloucester, MA was concerned with her dirty, cold crawl space. The old insulation was hanging down, the dirt floor was exposed to pests coming in, and there were some moisture concerns. She was hoping for a permanent solution, and so reached out to our team at Erickson Foundation Solutions. 

Our specialist designed and proposed a crawl space encapsulation system to help with all of her concerns. 

Our crew was able to clean up and install the vapor barrier in two days, and the space went from dirty and unkept, to warm, dry, and tidy. The homeowner was very pleased with the results, and thrilled to have a usable, functional crawlspace in her home.

A homeowner in Portsmouth, New Hampshire recently bought a home and wanted to finish his floors on the first floor. He noticed that the floors were crooked, and wanted to make sure the foundation was strong and supportive before getting any flooring work done.

A Design Specialist completed a free inspection of the home and noticed some issues with the crawl space. The Lally columns were not properly supporting the home and the crawl space was very damp. This results in sinking floors and an uncomfortable living space. Our specialist recommended adding SmartJacks and CleanSpace. SmartJacks replace the Lally Columns and provide support and stability to the entire home. This fixes the crooked and sinking floors, creating a level surface. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier encapsulates the crawl space, which provides protection from mold, critters, drafts, wood rot, and cold floors.

A combination of these systems provided this new homeowner with a strong and healthy crawl space. Our team was happy to offer a permanent solution.
