Recently in Northwood, NH, we encountered a homeowner faced with a troubling walkway. Over time, their walkway had sunken about an inch, posing not only a tripping hazard but also detracting from their home's appeal. Understanding their concerns, we knew immediately that it was a task tailor-made for our expertise.

fter the homeowner contacted our friendly Customer Care team, we scheduled a visit to their home.

At Erickson Foundation Solutions, we know the importance of a dry, secure, and stable foundation for your home. Recently, a homeowner in Northwood, NH, reached out to us with concerns about their basement. They were looking to install new flooring but knew that without addressing the dirt floor of their basement first, any new flooring would be at risk. Looking for a long-lasting and reliable remedy, they turned to us to create a waterproof and secure environment in their basement.

Following our established process, the homeowner's initial call was met with a prompt response from our Customer Care team. We quickly scheduled a home inspection to understand the specifics of the situation. When our System Design Specialist John Prince visited the home, he conducted a thorough inspection of the basement, diagnosing the need for a comprehensive waterproofing solution. Our recommendation was to install CleanSpace, a durable vapor barrier, along with a TripleSafe Sump Pump system for effective water removal and IceGuard to protect against freeze/thaw cycle blockages in discharge lines. Our proficient production team, led by experienced foreman Gunther Billhardt, got to work installing these solutions swiftly and efficiently. They transformed the previously vulnerable basement into a dry, protected space ready for the homeowner's flooring projects. Not only did we address the immediate need by encapsulating the dirt floor with the CleanSpace membrane, but we also ensured the long-term dryness of the basement with the TripleSafe and IceGuard—giving the homeowner peace of mind about the future of their basement flooring.

Upon completion, the area was left clean and tidy, reflecting our commitment to provide a remarkable customer experience at every step. The homeowner in Deerfield, NH, was thrilled with the outcome, ready to proceed with their home improvement plans without the worry of water.

In beautiful Northwood, NH, we recently had the pleasure of helping a homeowner with a common yet pesky problem – a damp crawl space with insufficient support from old cinderblocks. Like many homeowners, they didn't realize the severity of the issues until visible signs made their days uncomfortable. That's where we stepped in!

After the homeowner reached out, our Customer Care team quickly set an appointment with System Design Specialist Victor Tapia. Upon inspecting the crawl space, it was clear that the dampness and shaky support from the cinderblocks were compromising both the safety and comfort of the home. It was more than a moisture problem; it was about creating a solid foundation for the family’s well-being. Our team presented a tailor-made solution consisting of our SmartJack system for reliable, sturdy support beyond what those outdated cinderblocks could offer. Additionally, to tackle the dampness head-on, we recommended our CleanSpace encapsulation system and the SaniDry Sedona for unmatched humidity control. Once the go-ahead was given, our expert team set to work. The transformation was straightforward but impactful. We removed the shaky cinderblocks and replaced them with the robust SmartJack system, ensuring that the floors above were properly supported. The CleanSpace system was then meticulously installed to seal off moisture, creating a dry and usable space. To round off our work, the SaniDry Sedona was set up to keep the air clean and dry, putting the homeowner’s worries about dampness to rest finally.

After the installation, the results spoke louder than our promises. The homeowner was greeted with a transformed crawl space - dry, safe, and structurally sound.

A few years ago, a homeowner in Northwood, New Hampshire noticed that one of their foundation walls was bowing inward and called EFS for assistance. Our team responded by installing PowerBraces on that side of the basement to eliminate the bowing and stabilize the foundation. Recently, the homeowner noticed that the other side of the foundation was also bowing, and contacted EFS again to install more PowerBraces on the other side of the basement.

Our installation team, led by Ryan Champagne, marked out where each of the 8 PowerBraces would be installed against the foundation wall. They then installed an L bracket on the floor and an adjustable top bracket to the floor joists, which allowed them to install each of the braces and support the foundation wall. Once all the PowerBraces were installed, the top bracket was used to tighten each brace against the wall, thus stabilizing the foundation wall.

The homeowner was very satisfied with the installation of the second round of PowerBraces in their basement.

A homeowner in Northwood, New Hampshire, recently purchased their home and noticed water coming through vertical cracks in the basement. When it rained the homeowner felt like they had to check the basement every couple of hours to make sure it wasn't going to flood. The home wanted some piece of mind back and decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist John recommended installing Flexispan over two cracks and installing PowerBraces to the foundation wall to add stability to the foundation wall against hydrostatic pressure. 

Our production team began by installing our FlexiSpan over the cracks in the foundation. The FlexiSpan will cover the crack and move with it to ensure no water can enter the basement. After the cracks were covered, the team moved on to installing the PowerBraces to the foundation wall to strengthen the wall against hydrostatic pressure. The PowerBraces were mounted at the base of the wall using an L bracket and then the upper bracket was installed in the floor joists to tighten or loosen the Powerbraces depending on the force needed to straighten the wall. 

The homeowners were happy with the results of the project. They call in about waterproofing and receive an in-depth solution that addresses their concerns and more.
