Concrete Sealant Repair, Reading, MA

Concrete Sealant Repair, Reading, MA

Concrete Sealant Repair, Reading, MA Concrete Sealant Repair, Reading, MA

This homeowner in Reading, MA was concerned with the condition of the concrete walkway leading up to their front door. Over the years as water eroded away the soil base of the walkway, the slabs began to sink and shift in various directions. This left an uneven surface that was not only unsightly, but also full of trip hazards. The owner was looking for a solution that did not require replacing the entire walkway, and our Erickson team proposed and installed the solution they needed.

To remove the grit and grime build up, our team first pressure washed the concrete surface. To level and stabilize the concrete slabs, they then injected PolyLevel, a polymer foam which expands and fills voids. Once the trip hazards were leveled out and the concrete was even, the final step included sealing the joints with NexusPro silicone, and sealing the surface with SealantPro. This surface sealant ensures that the porous concrete surface will no longer absorb rainwater (or snow melt), and so prolongs the life of the concrete.  In the after photo, the green tint is within the sealant spray, which helps the installer visually as he applies the material. As it dries, the tint fades and leaves nothing but a clear concrete surface.

This walkway has been fixed and protected, ensuring it will last for years to come.

A homeowner in Reading, Massachusetts was concerned with their broken concrete walkway on the side of their home. The uneven surface had created tripping hazards and an unappealing look. He reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions looking for a permanent solution that was also quick and affordable.

Our Design Specialist, Kenneth Calabrese, recommended installing PolyLevel to lift and level the concrete. This polyurethane foam is injected underneath the concrete slab to fill voids in the soil. This is a much more affordable and quicker option compared to replacing the concrete, all while providing a finished product that will last. Once the concrete was lifted and leveled, our Installation Specialist applied NexusPro to concrete joints and cracks. This ensures the long-term health of the concrete, preventing cracking and further settling. It also makes for an attractive finish.

With the job complete, a safe and aesthetically pleasing walkway is now in place. The homeowner was very satisfied.

Cold Floors and Musty Odor Repair in Reading, MA

At Erickson Foundation Solutions, we recently wrapped up a vital crawl space repair in Reading, MA, demonstrating once again our commitment to ensuring homeowners enjoy a comfortable and healthy living environment. The homeowner reached out to us with concerns about their crawl space, which was causing musty smells throughout their home during the summer months and resulting in uncomfortably cold floors when winter came around.

Waterproofing a Newly Constructed Finished Basement in Reading, MA

Recently, a homeowner in Reading, MA, encountered a concerning issue in their newly constructed home's finished basement: water flooding. Despite the anticipation to enjoy their new living space, they faced the unwelcome challenge of removing the flooring due to persistent flooding. Unwilling to let this dampen their spirits or damage their property, they reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions for a dependable fix.

Understanding the urgency of safeguarding their client's home, our team promptly arrived for an in-depth inspection. We recommended a robust solution to assure a permanently dry basement: installing our WaterGuard system, accompanied by the TripleSafe Sump Pump and IceGuard. Our skilled production team embarked on the job with a clear goal in mind. They first prepared the area by carefully removing the bottom half of the affected drywall. This was a crucial step to make room for the innovative WaterGuard system precisely where it was most needed, around the perimeter of the basement. Following the installation of WaterGuard, the TripleSafe Sump Pump was poised to handle even the heaviest rainfalls, with IceGuard ensuring flawless operation through frosty conditions.

As we wrapped up, ensuring the space was clean and prepared for the homeowner to reinstate their flooring, the results spoke for themselves. The basement was transformed from a moisture-prone area into a secure, dry space expected to remain water-free under any weather conditions. Through this dedicated effort, Erickson Foundation Solutions not only resolved the immediate worry of flooding for the new homeowner but also granted them the peace of mind for their basement to remain a functional, enjoyable part of their home indefinitely.

Waterproofing the Basement with a New Sump Pump and Drainage System in Reading, MA

When a homeowner in Reading, MA, reached out to us with a soggy problem, his forever home was at risk of becoming his forever-wet home. Every time a hefty rain marched through, his basement became an unwilling reservoir, thanks to a sump pump that just couldn’t keep up. Understanding the gravity of protecting a home that holds countless memories and anticipating many more to come, Erickson Foundation Solutions sprang into action.

Our process kicked off with our friendly Customer Care team, setting the stage for a bespoke solution. System Design Specialist Debra Rayborn from our Sales Team made a beeline for the property, armed with expertise and a keen eye for detail. After a thorough walkthrough, not only was the misbehaving sump pump identified, but the pooling score left by heavy rains was addressed as well. Our recommendation? An elite trifecta solution comprising WaterGuard for an unobtrusive, yet effective drainage channel around the basement; the TripleSafe Sump Pump for round-the-clock, failsafe operation; and the IceGuard system to ensure that even during the frosty embrace of winter, water could find its way out without getting blockaded by ice. To cap it off, a bubbler pot was installed at the end of the discharge line, ensuring a good flow away from the foundation. The execution was seamless. Our production team, always punctilious and respectful of the home they're entrusted with, installed the system with minimal fuss and maximum efficiency.

When they left, they took any sign of mediocrity with them, leaving nothing but a powerhouse solution in place. The outcome was exactly what we strive for: a dry basement, a protected home, and a homeowner who no longer casts a wary eye at the weather

Sump Pump Replacement in Reading, MA

Over in Reading, MA, a homeowner reached out to us with a problem that many find all too common: they needed to replace their faulty sump pump. Their basement was showing early signs of water damage, and with the New England weather being as unpredictable as it is, they could not afford to take any chances.

Understanding the urgency, our Customer Care team quickly scheduled a home inspection. Our System Design Specialist Matthew Robichaud visited the home and provided a thorough inspection of the basement. It was evident that a simple replacement wouldn't suffice; the homeowner needed a comprehensive solution that could offer peace of mind no matter the season or weather. We recommended installing our TripleSafe Sump Pump. This system is our best for keeping basements dry, thanks to its ability to handle the highest volume of water and provide triple protection against the most severe weather conditions. To complement the sump pump and address concerns of potential freezing, we also suggested the addition of an IceGuard system, designed to expel water away from the foundation even if the discharge line should freeze. The installation process went smoothly. Our production team, led by experienced foreman Mike Lyall alongside skilled installers, worked efficiently to install the suggested products. Their dedication to not only installing the systems but also ensuring a clean and respectful workspace was true to our mission of providing remarkable customer experiences.

Radon Mitigation Before Finishing Basement, Reading, MA

A new homeowner living in Reading, Massachusetts, had recently moved into their house for two weeks. They encountered mold problems in their basement and sought to have their radon levels checked to ensure safety before finishing the space for various uses such as an office, recreation, storage, and gym. The homeowner sought the assistance of EFS for a radon test and inspection of their basement. EFS conducted the test, which returned an average of 10 pCi/L, leading Tom Armano to create two radon systems for installation in the basement. The installation team, led by Dillon Kingsbury, installed the first system near the garage and the second system on the opposite side of the basement to cover the most possible radon sources. After operating for over a week, a subsequent radon test showed results below the recommended amount of 4.0 pCi/L. The homeowner was thrilled with the outcome and could proceed with finishing their basement.

Water Collecting in Garage, Reading, MA

A homeowner in Reading, Massachusetts, had an issue where water is gathering at the bottom of the stairs in their garage. They also had a small section of concrete that was rough. The homeowner would like that concrete smoothed so they can epoxy the garage in the future. Our design specialist Michael examined the garage and recommended PolyLevel to pitch the concrete toward the garage door, repair the rough concrete, and seal the cracks with NexusPro. 

Our production crew led by Tyler, began by drilling port holes to inject the Poly beneath the slab. The team carefully lifts the slab to create a slight pitch that will cause water to run off into the driveway. After the team pitched the garage floor, the team began repairing the rough concrete. The team chipped out the old concrete with a jackhammer and repoured new concrete and made sure it was smoothed. Finally, the team sealed all of the cracks and gaps with NexusPro. 

Tyler and his team made sure the newly poured concrete was smooth, water beaded toward the mouth of the garage, and all of the cracks and gaps are sealed.

A homeowner in Reading, Massachusetts, had an issue with the concrete around their pool. The homeowners have lived in the for 2 years and had only seen the problem get worse. The slabs around their pool are out of level and are causing a tripping hazard. They would like to have their pool be a safe area where their family can enjoy the pool without injuring themselves. The homeowners first reached out to a company near them. That company told them they would have to replace the entire pool deck to get the results they wanted. The homeowner didn't want to all that money to replace the pool deck when the concrete was still in good condition. Our design specialist Chris examined the pool deck and found the perfect solution. Chris recommended using PolyLevel to lift and level each slab of the pool deck. The homeowner had concerns about how we will maintain the slope on the concrete to shed water away from the pool. Chris reasured the homeowner that the crew can pitch the concrete.

Our production team team installed Poly under each slab around the pool. The team made sure all of the slab were slightly pitched away from the pool. After the Poly was completed, the team used NexusPro to seal the cracks in the concrete. Following sealing the cracks the team used SealantPro to seal the concrete itself.
