At Erickson Foundation Solutions, we're all about ensuring homeowners in Hampstead, NH, and beyond can enjoy dry, comfortable basements, regardless of the weather outside. So, when we got a call from a local homeowner frustrated with their faulty sump pump – a unit that was initially installed by another company but failed to do the job – we knew we had to step in and deliver on our promise of a long-lasting solution.

After our Customer Care team swiftly set up an appointment, a System Design Specialist was at the homeowner's doorstep, ready to tackle the problem head-on. Following a comprehensive home inspection, we diagnosed the issue: the existing sump pump was inadequate for the home's waterproofing needs. The solution? Our highly reliable UltraSump System. This decision wasn't made lightly; it came about due to a thorough analysis of what the situation required to not just meet, but surpass expectations. Our production team, consisting of skilled foreman Abdou Taal and diligent installers, got to work. We made sure the installation of the UltraSump Sump Pump system was seamless, leaving no stone unturned in transforming the basement into a dry, secure space. In building solutions that last, we also prioritized leaving the homeowner's space as neat as we found it – ensuring the only sign we’d been there was vastly improved basement waterproofing.

The outcome speaks for itself. The homeowner no longer has to worry about the effectiveness of their sump pump. With the UltraSump System now in place, peace of mind during heavy rains is a given. And for us at Erickson Foundation Solutions, another homeowner's feedback reaffirms our commitment to providing a reliable, remarkable service experience.

In Hampstead, NH, a soon-to-be father faced a pressing concern in his family home. With a new family member on the way, the need for additional storage space could not have been more critical. However, their basement was far from being the safe, dry haven it needed to be. Water perpetually seeped through the foundation walls and floor, rendering the space unusable for storing anything valuable or delicate – an all-too-common frustration for many homeowners but an even more urgent problem in this particular case.

Upon reaching out to us, our Customer Care team quickly set the ball rolling, scheduling a comprehensive home inspection. Our System Design Specialist John Prince visited the home, meticulously examining the extent of the water ingress. With a clear understanding of the issue at hand, we recommended a suite of solutions tailor-made for the homeowner’s predicament: the WaterGuard interior drainage system, a TripleSafe Sump Pump, IceGuard to prevent discharge line freezing, and CleanSpace to encapsulate and protect the area. This combination was poised not just to stave off current water intrusion but safeguard the space against future issues. Our production team then took the lead, initiating the transformation of the damp basement into a dry, secure space. Demonstrating our commitment to delivering a remarkable customer experience, they efficiently installed each product, ensuring every step complied with our rigorous quality standards.

After the installation, we didn't just leave. Our team thoroughly cleaned up, leaving no trace behind except for the significantly improved conditions of the basement. The outcome was precisely what every homeowner hopes for: a once moisture-ridden basement transformed into a dry, safe area, perfect for storing anything the family deems important. With the water problem firmly in its past, the home was ready for a new child.

David M. of Hampstead, New Hampshire has plans to turn his basement into a storage space. With the amount of water that makes its way through the foundation in his basement, the risk of his belongings getting damaged is too high. In order to permanently solve this problem, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

David reached out to our Customer Care Specialist to schedule a free inspection of the home. Our Design Specialist, Victor Tapia, identified the problems in the home and offered solutions based on David's needs. Without a concrete slab in his basement, this was a very convenient time to add WaterGuard perimeter drainage. This system works by collecting unwanted water along the border of the foundation and filtering it to a sump pump. Typically, the perimeter of a basement slab would need to be chipped up to install WaterGuard, and then cemented back into place. The WaterGuard system would then filter to our UltraSump, which then pumps water out of a home through an exterior drainage line.

With this waterproofing system in place, David can confidently store his belongings in the basement knowing they won't get wet. Installing a concreate slab in the near future will also be an easy process that won't damage the waterproofing system.

The owner of a 1950s home in Hampstead, New Hampshire, had 3 feet of water come into their crawlspace during the springtime when we had a large amount of rainfall. The homeowners have never seen this must water in their crawlspace. In the last few years, a home was built on the vacant lot next to them. With that house being built they have seen water entering the crawlspace more and more often. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their crawlspace. Our Design Specialist Victor Tapia met with the homeowner and took an extensive look at the crawlspace. After his inspection, Victor recommended installing a TripleSafe, SmartPipe, SmartJacks, and CleanSpace into the crawlspace to control water coming in and adding support to a sagging support beam. 

Our Installation Team led by Anthony Locascio began by first removing the old sump pump and replacing it with our TripleSafe. Once the TripleSafe was installed and plumbed to the exterior of the home, the team was able to work in the crawlspace and not have to worry about water surging in. Next, the team then worked on installing the perimeter drainage around the crawlspace and installing the SmartJacks under the sagging support beam. After the drainage and supports were installed the team then installed the CleanSpace throughout the entire crawlspace. We started with going around the walls first and then moving to cover the floors before the project was complete. 

The homeowner was very pleased with the results of the project and don't have to worry about water collecting in their crawlspace. 

A new homeowner in Hampstead, New Hampshire, received a pre-purchase inspection from an inspector in their town. The inspector noticed a crack in their foundation that seemed concerning. The inspector didn't inform them of possible solutions so the homeowners took it into their own hands to reach out to EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist Liam inspected the crack and found that the crack isn't anything to worry about so he recommended sealing it so water couldn't enter the home and putting a crack monitor on it to track whether it moved or not. But Liam had noticed on his inspection that a beam in the garage was sagging and recommended installing two SmartJacks into the garage.

Our installation team began by chipping out a small section of concrete and creating a footing under the slab with rebar crushed stone and concrete. Once the footing cured the team then installed our SmartJacks footing and SmartJack assembly over the footing and connected it to the beam above. Once the SmartJacks were secured to the beam and over the poured footing the team used the adjustable top of the SmartJacks to add support to that beam. 

The homeowner was relieved that the crack in their foundation was nothing to worry about and that Liam noticed the sag in their garage and suggested a solution that worked for them. 

A homeowner in Hampstead, New Hampshire, has lived in their home for 15 years and has noticed some movement in their basement. Our design specialist examined the basement and recommended installing Push Piers, PolyLevel, and EZ posts in and around the basement. 

Our production team installed piers around the back left of the home, PolyLevel under the basement slab, and a helical post to replace a concrete pier on the porch. The team used a hydraulic press to push the piers down until they achieve a sustainable pressure to support the home. A similar process is done with the new post to support the deck. Instead of a press, a big hydraulic drive head will spin the helical post down until sufficient torque.

The owner of this property in Hampstead, New Hampshire has lived here for more than 25 years in a home just a couple of hundred feet from the edge of a lake. The area around the home has a high water table because of the lake being close by. While they have had a sump pump in the basement for many years to help with their wet basement, over the past couple of years the sump pump hasn't been able to keep the basement dry.  The homeowner decided to call EFS to help determine a more permanent solution to their wet basement concerns.

Our EFS waterproofing specialist found the existing sump pump was outdated and wasn't big enough to push out all of the water from the basement. It also hadn't been serviced in many years. Additionally, over the years water in the soil on the outside of the foundation walls was building up and pushing against the foundation, beginning to cause worse problems. In order to solve the problem, the homeowner needed to properly waterproof their home. Our specialist recommended installing WaterGuard, Freeze Guard, and a Super Sump Triple Safe, in the basement. This battery back-up system will provide some much needed protection and will easily keep up with the water entering this basement. A SaniDry system was also installed, which is an industry leading dehumidifier, allowing the homeowner to better control the moisture in their basement and improve the quality of the air in their home.

This homeowner in Hampstead, New Hampshire, had foundation wall concerns in their home. The block foundation of the home is bowing and during the winter water comes into the basement through the bulkhead. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Senior Design Specialist Michael LaMalfa inspected the home. During the inspection of the foundation wall, Michael quickly realized that the foundation wall is in stage 3 wall failure and needs to be repaired immediately. Michael recommended installing Geolocks to stabilize the wall and attempt to straighten the wall as much as possible. Michael also recommended installing CleanSpace and WaterGuard in the basement. 

A couple of crews from EFS came to the home in Hampstead to install the CleanSpace, WaterGuard, and Geolocks. 

This homeowner in Hampstead, New Hampshire has been in their home since 1996. The home has a beautiful backyard that includes a pool and a concrete pool deck. A few years after the pool was installed the homeowner noticed the pool deck had settled. And, year after year they noticed that it settled a little bit more. The homeowner finally had it and wanted the concrete repaired because they didn't want the grandchildren tripping. They decided to call Erickson Foundation Solutions for a free inspection.

Design Specialist Kenny Calabrese inspected the concrete pool area and immediately noticed the settlement. Kenny recommended injecting PolyLevel under the pool deck to level the sections that had settled, and also stabilize the entire area.

Crew Lead Nick Melo and his team injected PolyLevel into the settled sections of the concrete, and were successful in stabilizing the surface, making it safer for the family to enjoy their pool.

Rob S. of Hampstead, New Hampshire was experiencing some foundation issues with bowing floors in their barn. Rob recently bought his home and wanted to repair things that need immediate attention. Rob felt that the barn was at the top of the list. 

Design Specialist Paul Magowan arrived at the home and inspected the barn to see how EFS could level the floors while strengthening the barn. Paul recommended installing SmartJacks in the barn. To strengthen the barn floors and stop them from bowing, Paul proposed using 15 SmartJacks to replace the old supports. 

Crew Lead Ed Nadreau and his team arrive at the home and install the 15 SmartJacks into the barn. Ed and his team made sure that the floors were level and stabilized.
