Your Licenced Rockport, MA Expert in Concrete Leveling & Foundation Repairs

When a Rockport homeowner reached out to us at Erickson Foundation Solutions about their flooded basement and, more worryingly, their briefly damaged wine cellar, we knew we had to bring our best game to protect what matters most to them. Our commitment is not just fixing homes but safeguarding cherished spaces within them. This homeowner particularly wanted to ensure their finished basement and wine cellar were defended against future water threats, an issue we're all too familiar with in our line of work.

The process began with our Customer Care team who quickly set up a timely home inspection. Our System Design Specialist, well-versed in identifying and solving basement water issues, thoroughly inspected the home. Recognizing the critical need to safeguard the wine cellar, he recommended a comprehensive waterproofing solution including the installation of WaterGuard, our reliable interior drainage system, and the TripleSafe Sump Pump, known for its impeccable pumping capability and backup safeguards. To tackle the issue of freezing discharge lines in Rockport's harsh winters, the IceGuard system was also included. Finally, our CleanSpace wall system was proposed to seal off humidity and wall leaks, ensuring a fully dry and protected space. Our production team, proficient and meticulous, executed the makeover with precision. They diligently installed each component, transforming a once vulnerable basement into a fortress against moisture.

Taking pride in leaving no trace other than satisfaction, they cleaned up, leaving our homeowner with peace of mind knowing their wine sanctuary was now secure. This story, like many others we've been a part of at Erickson Foundation Solutions, showcases our mission in action: to offer homeowners not just a service, but a remarkable experience and a trusty long-term fix. In Rockport, we didn't just waterproof a basement; we safeguarded memories.

A homeowner in Rockport, Massachusetts, was having concerns with the main beam and water entering the basement. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their home. Our Design Specialist Keith inspected the basement and recommended installing SmartJacks under the main beam to add support and a TripleSafe in the low corner of the basement to collect any water that tries to enter the basement. 

Our Installation Team began by chipping out concrete for our TripleSafe basin and the footings of the SmartJacks. The team removed all of the chipped concrete and began digging down so we could install our sump pump basin beneath the concrete. The team installed the basin and then plumbed the pump to the exterior of the home where we installed our IceGuard and our 10' Exterior Drainage Line to carry water away from the home. After the pump was installed the team then focused on installing the 6 SmartJacks under the main beam. When the team chipped out the basin of the sump pump the team also chipped out 6 spaces for our footings. The team used our small footings and installed them on top of engineered fill. The SmartJacks were then secured to the main beam and the adjustable tops were tightened to take some of the strain off the beam. Once the SmartJacks were installed, the team then mixed up concrete and covered the footings of the SmartJacks and around the TripleSafe to lock everything into place. 

The homeowner was very pleased with the results of the project and no longer have to worry about the beam or water entering the basement. 

The owner of a 1930s home in Rockport, Massachusetts, had been experiencing water intrusion since they purchased the property in 2021. After cleaning up water in their basement for the past 2 years the homeowners want to find a permanent solution to the water problem. They had an existing sump pump but it wasn't working well. They called EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist Keith recommended a perimeter drainage system for the basement to prevent water from entering the basement. Keith also recommended addressing the humidity in the basement so he suggested installing a SaniDry. 

Our production team installed 76' of WaterGuard into the affected areas of the basement. After the WaterGuard was installed the team used the old sump pump basin to install our TripleSafe and integrate the sump into the WaterGuard System. The team then plumbed the TripleSafe to the exterior of the home where we installed our IceGuard and our exterior drainage line. Lastly, the team installed the SaniDry next to the sump pump so we can extend the drainage line into the sump pump basin. 

The homeowners were very pleased with the results of the project. Our team permanently stopped the water from entering the basement with the installation of our perimeter drainage system and dehumidifier.
