Your Trusted Dunbarton, NH Concrete Repair & Radon Mitigation Company

At Erickson Foundation Solutions, we recently had the privilege of assisting a homeowner in Dunbarton, NH, who was facing a bothersome challenge with their basement. This wasn’t just any homeowner—the advancing years had made it tough for him to be as mobile as he once was, and the emergence of a leaky basement, accompanied by a musty smell permeating the house, only added to his concerns. Understanding that keeping his house in top condition was vital, especially since it might be sold in the near future, he reached out to us, hoping we could help safeguard his home’s value and comfort.

Our motivated Customer Care Team swiftly arranged for a thorough inspection of his home. System Design Specialist Josh Phillips from our adept Sales Team then dove into diagnosing the issue at hand, outlining an efficient plan tailored just for him. It was decided that our team would install a combination of our most reliable solutions – WaterGuard, for unparalleled basement waterproofing; a TripleSafe Sump Pump, to effectively manage any water intrusion; IceGuard, to ensure the system operated smoothly even in the coldest conditions; and the SaniDry Sedona, to eliminate that troubling musty aroma and purify the air throughout his home. When our production team arrived, they embarked on the installation process with diligence and respect for the homeowner's property, ensuring that every component was perfectly in place for optimal performance.

The finished job was a beautifully dry basement, a comfortable home restored to its old glory, clearing any potential apprehensions regarding future sale conditions. This story narrates more than just our work—it highlights our mission to deliver not just effective solutions, but care, reassurance, and a bright outlook for our customers' homes and their futures.

A homeowner in Dunbarton, New Hampshire, moved into their 1940s home about 8 years ago. When the homeowner moved into the home they noticed sagging in the roof of the porch, but a couple of years ago they have seen the issue get worse. This year they decided to call EFS for a free inspection, and our Design Specialist Victor inspected the front porch and recommended installing 7 Helical Piers with Porch Brackets to the roof to prevent it from sagging. 

Our installation team began by setting up temporary supports next to the existing supports. Once the temporary posts were installed the team removed the old supports and began installing the new Helical Piers. Our team used a hydraulic drive head to drive the Helical Piers into the ground until we reached sufficient pressure. Once to pressure, the team cut the pier and installed our porch bracket, and extended a 6x6 from the porch bracket to under the roof. The team made sure the roof was level and at the roof was fully supported.

The homeowner was very pleased with the results of the project. They haven't seen their roof this straight since they purchased their home. 

A homeowner in Dunbarton, New Hampshire, has lived in their home for over 30 years but shortly after moving into their home they noticed their garage foundation shifting and cracking. Some years ago they had a pine tree fall on their home and that caused the settlement problem to accelerate. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist Victor examined the foundation of the garage. Victor recommended installing a new block foundation on the settling side of the garage. 

Our masonry team began by exposing the foundation and removing the settling foundation wall and supporting it with temporary supports. Our team first poured a new footing for the masonry wall the team was going to install. After the footing was poured and cured, the team then began laying masonry blocks on top of the footing. The team laid blocks until they reached the bottom of the garage. After that, the team removed the temporary posts and backfilled the over the new masonry wall. 

The homeowners were very pleased with the results of the projects the team was able to complete the masonry wall in only a couple of days.

A homeowner in Dunbarton, New Hampshire, had lived in their home for 30+ years. Since moving into their home they have always noticed settlement around the garage. They never thought much of the settlement until a few years ago a pine tree fell on their home. Since then they have seen the settlement on the corner of the garage accelerate and now they need a section of the foundation repaired. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist Victor inspected the home and its foundation and recommended rebuilding a section of the foundation wall and installing a new frost wall. 

Our masonry team began by removing the settled and crumbled section of concrete. After the section was removed they then installed temporary supports and then began pouring a new footing for the masonry wall. The team had to wait until the concrete was cured to start laying the masonry block on the footing and start building up the foundation wall. The team built a 17' long masonry wall around the corner of the attached garage foundation. After the masonry wall was complete the team then sprayed the exterior wall with frost wall mitigation. With the frost wall installed the team removed the temporary supports and backfilled around the new masonry wall. 

The homeowners were very pleased with the results of the project. For a substantial project, the crew only needed around 3 days to complete it. This new masonry wall and frost wall mitigation will add support and stability to the garage for years to come. 

A homeowner in Dunbarton, New Hampshire, had concerns about the supports in their crawlspace. The home is owned by an older woman but her daughter is leading the charge to have the supports in the crawlspace fixed. The daughter will be inheriting the home at some point so she wanted the home to be in the best condition possible. Our design specialist Chris met with the mother and daughter and Chris examined the floors and the supports in the crawlspace. The supports in the crawlspace of this 1930s home were a mix of wooden posts and stacked cinder block columns. Chris recommended installing new supports that are set in the ground and secured to the beams above and a high-strength dehumidifier to manage the moisture in the crawlspace. 

Our production team led by Ed N. first started by setting up temporary supports in the crawlspace so that when they remove the old supports the beams won't shift. After the team set up the temporary posts, they began prepping the bases for the posts. The team created flat footings where the base of the SmartJack will be set in. To make sure the footing is stable the team used engineered fill. Then the team sets the SmartJack over the fill and secures it to the beam above or to a Supplemental Beam. After the team installed all of the SmartJacks they then installed the SaniDry Sedona into the crawlspace to control the moisture in the basement.
