Professional Hooksett, NH Concrete Repair & Radon Mitigation Company

Jim M. of Hooksett, New Hampshire never had basement issues until about two weeks ago. In that time, their basement had flooded twice. This was a big concern for Jim's family, especially since they use the basement for storage space. Looking for a way to permanently keep the basement dry, this family reached out to Erickson Foundation Soulutions.

After contacting out Customer Care team, we scheduled Jim a free inspection with our Design Specialist, Victor Tapia. Victor identified the issues that led to the basement flooding, and offered solutions based on what was right for Jim's family. He ultimately suggested installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage and our TripleSafe sump pump system. The perimeter drainage goes along the footing of the foundation and collects water before entering the basement. It then delivers the water to the sump pump system, which expels water out of the home through an exterior discharge line. IceGuard was added to the exterior discharge line to prevent it from freezing and causing water to get backed up.

With this system in place, Jim's family no longer needs to fear water entering the basement. They now have a safe and dry storage space permanently!

A resident of Hooksett, New Hampshire has lived in their 1920s home for their entire life. After being widowed 6 years ago, they had to adjust to being the sole decision-maker for their property. Some years ago, the homeowner noticed water seeping through cracks on the slab in the basement. They tried some DIY fixes, but none were effective in preventing water from seeping through the slab. After a couple of failed attempts, the homeowner contacted EFS for a free inspection of their basement to find a permanent solution. Our Design Specialist, Josh Phillips, met with the homeowner and recommended installing WaterGuard, TrenchDrain, TripleSafe, IceGuard, Exterior Drainage Line, SaniDry Sedona, and NexusPro in the basement to prevent water seepage. 

Our installation team, led by Gunther Billhardt, began by chipping out around 50 feet of concrete around the basement perimeter to install our perimeter drainage and sump pump. The team removed the chipped concrete and some dirt, allowing us to lay our drainage below the concrete slab. The team also dug a sump pit for our sump pump and basin to sit level with the concrete floor. After installing and integrating the pump and drainage, the team then plumbed the sump pump to the exterior of the home, where we installed 2 IceGuards and a 30-foot EDL to carry water away from the foundation. After installing and burying the exterior drainage in the yard, the team returned to the basement to cover the top of the drainage and around the basin with concrete to secure the system in place. After pouring the concrete, the team installed our SaniDry Sedona next to the TripleSafe. The team tested the system to ensure that everything was working and then sealed the cracks in the slab with NexusPro. Once the crack repair was complete, the job was done.

The homeowner was very pleased with the results of the project.

A homeowner in Hooksett, New Hampshire, has lived in their home for the past 30 years. The homeowners have noticed a sag in the sunroom. In the last couple of years, they have become worried about the structural integrity of their second-level sunroom and porch. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection of the supports of their sunroom. Our Design Specialist Victor visited the home and inspected the structural integrity of the sunroom and recommended replacing the supports with a combination of Helical Piers and EZ Posts. 

Our installation team began by setting up temporary supports around the existing supports. Once the temp posts were set up the team then removed the old supports and began setting up for installing the 4 Helical Piers under the main structure of the sunroom, then the remaining 4 will be EZ posts installed under the stairs and deck. Because of some tight access points, the team had to use our handheld drive head for the supports being installed under the stairs. For the remainder of the supports, we used our excavator with a similar drive head attached. The team drove each pier down into the ground until they reached their predetermined pressure, which was based on the weight of the structure. Once all the piers were driven into the ground, the team installed a porch bracket to each and then installed 6x6 Pressure Treated wood to the bracket and up to the bottom of the sunroom. Once all of the supports were secured, the team then removed all of the temporary supports.

The homeowner was very pleased with the results of the piers being installed under their sunroom.

This homeowner in Hooksett, NH was concerned with the condition of their front walkway which was comprised of concrete slabs. The concrete ran from the driveway, leading all the way up to the front porch of the home. Where the concrete met the porch, the slab had settled up to 2 inches, which had become a very dangerous trip hazard for the family. Temporarily, the homeowner had placed some unsightly blocks to help with this step, but they really wanted a permanent solution to have the concrete fixed. 

Our team offered a free inspection, and specialist Jason Vachon proposed using PolyLevel to lift and stabilize the sunken concrete . He also recommended all the joints along the walkway get sealed with NexusPro, which would prevent water from flowing directly under the slabs and causing more damage. 

The first step of the repairs involved lifting the concrete, especially where the walkway became a step for the front porch. Our installation specialists successfully lifted and stabilized this concrete, raised it 2 inches and created a safe step for the homeowners. Once injection of the polymer material was complete, the team installed NexusPro caulking to seal all the joints along the entire length of the walkway. This not only made the walkway more pleasing to the eye, but by sealing the joints would prevent too much water from flowing beneath the concrete, which would eventually lead to settlement and cracking. 

Excellent transformation for this homeowner in Hooksett, and they were very pleased with the results. 

A homeowner in Hooksett, New Hampshire, had concerns with the cracks in the slab of their basement. The homeowner was aware of radon and doesn't want radon gas seeping up into the living area of their home.
