Beverly, MA Foundation Repair, Radon Mitigation and Testing Services

When we received a call from a homeowner in Beverly, MA, they were at their wit's end. Their basement had previously endured flooding up to six inches high, leading not only to significant water damage but also to mold issues, which required mold remediation. Nature can be relentless, and its consequences dire, especially when it turns a once-comfortable basement into a repeat water disaster zone. After taking the crucial step to repair the immediate damage, the homeowner knew it was time to help their basement stand strong against future intrusions. This is where our team, Erickson Foundation Solutions, came into play.

Following a careful inspection by our System Design Specialist Josh Bartholemew, who thoroughly assessed the extent of the issue and discussed potential causes and effects with the homeowner, a tailored solution was proposed and agreed upon. To combat and prevent the probability of future flooding, three formidable allies were called into action: WaterGuard, a highly efficient interior drainage system guaranteed to capture wall and floor joint leaks; TripleSafe Sump Pump, engineered to provide triple protection for your basement and keep it dry all the time; and IceGuard, an ingeniously designed system to allow water from the sump to efficiently exit even if the pipes freeze, unheard of during New England's notorious winters. Our production team meticulously installed these systems, transforming what was once a basement's weakness into its strength. Understanding the sensitivity around previously water-damaged spaces, our team ensured the working area was kept tidy and clean before, during, and after the installation.

The homeowner could finally breathe a sigh of relief, knowing future rains would no longer spell disaster for their basement. Thanks to our comprehensive approach, hands-on skill, and top-tier solutions, their basement was not only secure but also set to remain dry permanently.

Recently, a homeowner in Beverly, MA, faced a tricky situation in their basement. Trusting Erickson Foundation Solutions, they described their ongoing issue with a broken sump pump that left their basement vulnerable to water damage and excessive dampness, escalating their worry with each rainfall. Aware of the challenges linked to a malfunctioning sump pump, our team was ready to dive in and provide a steadfast solution.

Upon receiving the call, our Customer Care team promptly set a home inspection appointment. Our System Design Specialist George Gouthier visited their home, meticulously examining the severity of the situation. After a thorough assessment, we proposed the installation of our TripleSafe Sump Pump system, renowned for its reliability and efficiency in ensuring basements stay dry all year long. With the homeowner's nod, our skilled production team made their way to execute the job. The old, outdated sump pump bid its farewell, making room for the TripleSafe Sump Pump. Our team worked with precision, keeping constant communication with the homeowner throughout the process, ensuring they were aware and confident in the work being done.

Recently, we had the pleasure of helping a homeowner in Beverly, MA, who was dealing with a less-than-ideal situation in their basement. The homeowner reached out to us after noticing that the temporary support columns they had in place were simply not doing the job anymore. Concerned about the stability and overall health of their home's foundation, they decided it was time to call in the professionals — that's where we came in.

Our journey began with a heartfelt conversation with the homeowner, getting to know the specifics of their problem and assuring them they called the right place. Next, our System Design Specialist paid a visit to inspect the area thoroughly. It didn't take long for us to diagnose the issue and recommend a reliable, durable solution: the installation of SmartJack support systems. For those unfamiliar, SmartJacks are a far cry from the temporary fixes many homeowners are used to. These steel support systems are engineered to provide stable, long-term support for basements, crawlspaces, and the floors above them. Once our solution was agreed upon, our production team sprang into action. The installation process included the precise positioning and anchoring of SmartJacks to ensure the best possible uplift and stabilization. The homeowner watched as their once-unsteady basement was transformed. By the time we called it a day, thoroughly cleaning the job site to make it look like we were never there, the homeowner’s basement was not only stabilized but secured for the long haul. Gone were the days of worrying about the safety and integrity of their home's foundation. It was a winning situation all around — another home secured, another happy homeowner, and a chance for us to do what we do best.

Recently, a homeowner in Beverly, MA, found themselves in a frustrating situation. Despite having an existing sump pump, water was repeatedly making its way into their garage, causing concern, potential damage, and a whole lot of headache. It was clear they needed a reliable solution – and that's where we, at Erickson Foundation Solutions, stepped in.

Upon contacting our Customer Care team, the homeowner was quickly set up with an appointment for a home inspection. Our System Design Specialist Tom Armano visited their home, took a thorough walk-through of the area experiencing issues, and diagnosed the core problem of the water intrusion. Understanding the homeowner's need for a failsafe and long-term solution, we recommended installing WaterGuard, an interior French drainage system designed to catch water at the most common point of entry – the perimeter of the floor –along with FlexiSpan, a flexible and durable crack repair solution that seals against water leakage and can adapt to potential wall movements. Our production team rolled up their sleeves and got to work. Installation was smooth; we carefully placed WaterGuard around the garage's perimeter beneath the floor slab, creating an unseen water-catching barrier. For the persistent cracks that allowed water entry, FlexiSpan was applied, ensuring those troublesome leaks would be a thing of the past.

In the end, the results spoke volumes. The garage remained dry, even after heavy rainfalls that would have previously seen water collecting inside. The homeowner was left delighted, not just with the dry and improved safety of their home, but also with the professionalism and efficiency with which we implemented a lasting solution. Now, they can enjoy a worry-free space, secure in knowing their water problems are fully addressed.

We recently had the opportunity to help a homeowner in Beverly, MA, who was facing a pretty common issue— an unlevel garage floor dotted with a couple of annoying cracks. This wasn't just an eyesore; it was also a tripping hazard and could potentially cause more severe damage down the line. Understanding the importance of a safe and smooth garage floor, the homeowner reached out to us at Erickson Foundation Solutions for help.

Our first step was to conduct a thorough inspection. Our System Design Specialist Tom Armano visited the home to assess the situation firsthand. After a complete evaluation, we recommended a two-pronged approach: First, using PolyLevel, a high-density polyurethane formula, to lift and stabilize the sinking concrete. And then, to seal the cracks and prevent future water damage, we would apply NexusPro—a silicone-based sealant designed specifically for joints and cracks. With the solution in place, our production team got to work. They started with PolyLevel, carefully injecting it beneath the concrete to lift it back to its original level. This process wasn't just about making the floor even; it was crucial for ensuring the longevity and stability of the garage's foundation. Next came NexusPro, filling those bothersome cracks, ensuring the floor not only looked new but was also sealed against the elements.

The outcome? A once unlevel and cracked garage floor was restored to its former glory. Not only did we manage to solve the immediate issue, but we also equipped the homeowner with a durable, lasting solution. It's projects like these that highlight our commitment at Erickson Foundation Solutions—providing a remarkable client experience through reliable home solutions that stand the test of time.

When a homeowner in Beverly, MA found their crawl space submerged under water, devastating the liner they had recently installed, they knew it was time to call in experts. They reached out to us at Erickson Foundation Solutions, hoping to find a lasting remedy to their flooding nightmare.

Upon contacting our Customer Care team, an appointment was quickly made for a home inspection to dive deep into the issue. Our System Design Specialist Tom Armano was on the scene, meticulously examining the extent of the water damage and understanding the root cause of the flooding. It was evident the crawl space's condition not only put the home's structural integrity at risk but also posed potential health risks due to moisture and humidity. To tackle the issue head-on, we proposed a comprehensive solution: the installation of our top-of-the-line CleanSpace liner, the TripleSafe Sump Pump system, IceGuard, and SaniDry Sedona. Each of these products were chosen specifically for their durability, effectiveness, and ability to transform the damp, dreary crawl space into a clean, dry, and healthy environment under the house. Our skilled production team went to work, installing the CleanSpace liner that acts like a barrier, keeping moisture and water out. The TripleSafe Sump Pump was set in place to efficiently evacuate any water entry, working hand-in-hand with IceGuard to ensure the system remains effective even in freezing conditions. To round it all off, SaniDry Sedona was included, addressing the humidity levels and making the air fresher and healthier for the entire home.

After the completion of the job, the homeowner's crawl space went from being a soggy, unusable space to a dry, stable area under the house.

At Erickson Foundation Solutions, our pride comes from resolving homeowners' issues with innovative, lasting solutions. Recently, we had the honor of serving a homeowner in Beverly, MA, grappling with a safety concern that many can relate to — a sunken pool deck presenting noticeable trip hazards. The safety and aesthetics of their outdoor living space were compromised, and they reached out to us seeking a solution that was both durable and effective.

Understanding the gravity of the issue, our dedicated Customer Care team quickly scheduled a home inspection to deeply understand the problem. System Design Specialist Tom Armano from our experienced Sales Team visited the home, meticulously inspecting the pool deck area. Upon diagnosis, it was clear – the slabs around the pool had settled over time, creating uneven surfaces risky for family and friends. The perfect match for this scenario was our innovative PolyLevel system, paired with the replacement of the old, plastic joints with our durable NexusPro sealant. The PolyLevel process began with strategically injecting a structural grade foam beneath the slabs, which precisely lifted, leveled, and stabilized the slabs back to their original position - without the mess typically associated with concrete repairs. Following the lift, the old joints were carefully removed and replaced with NexusPro, sealing the deal by providing a resilient and long-lasting seal that would protect against future weathering and erosion.

The outcome was remarkable. Not only did the homeowner get a safer, visually pleasing pool deck, but this transformation was accomplished with minimal disruption. The pride in our team's work shone brightly, leaving a once hazardous outdoor space both beautiful and safe for everyone to enjoy. Presented through a solution-centric approach, our commitment to providing a remarkable customer experience and reliable, long-lasting solutions was evident.

Recently, a homeowner in Beverly, MA, reached out to us with a pressing problem – their fieldstone crawl space was leaking water every time it rained, putting their home's utilities in jeopardy. Understanding the urgency of the matter, our Customer Care team quickly responded by scheduling a home inspection appointment to assess the situation firsthand.

Our System Design Specialist took a detailed look during the visit and found the root cause of the problem. To ensure the homeowner received a lasting solution to their problem, we recommended the installation of our WaterGuard drainage system and an UltraSump sump pump system. These products are top-notch in the industry and particularly suited for handling such water intrusion issues with precision and reliability. The solution was a hit! Our production team arrived and efficiently installed the WaterGuard system, designed to intercept water at the perimeter of the crawl space and then channel it away before it could reach the utilities, to the UltraSump. The UltraSump sump pump system, with its wonderful capacity to pump out the intruding water, was up and running flawlessly, giving the homeowner back that peace of mind. By the time we cleaned up and left, it was like we were never there – except, of course, the leaking problem was completely fixed.

Our customer in Beverly was thrilled with the result, knowing their home and utilities were now protected from unwanted water damage. It was another example of our commitment to offering homeowners engaged and tailored solutions that not only fix the problem in the short term but offer tenable security and tranquility moving forward.

At Erickson Foundation Solutions, we had the pleasure of tackling a unique project in Beverly, MA. A homeowner noticed a concerning issue; their retaining wall was visibly bowing outward, a clear sign of foundational stress. Understandably worried about the integrity of their property, they reached out to us for a solution. The homeowner's first step was connecting with our Customer Care team to share their concerns.

Promptly, an appointment was set for a comprehensive home inspection to get to the root of the problem. Our System Design Specialist John Prince headed out, equipped not only with the expertise to diagnose the issue but also the knowledge to propose a tailored, effective solution. After a thorough assessment, it was determined that a Helical Pier system would best address the failing structural support causing the retaining wall to bow. Following this detailed consultation, it was time for our skilled production team to spring into action. The team, led by experienced foreman Neal Foley and composed of highly trained installers, went to work implementing the Helical Pier system. This innovative approach involves driving steel piers to a stable soil layer beneath the earth, providing the necessary support to halt further movement of the retaining wall and correct the existing bowing.

After the installation, the difference was clear. Not only was the wall stabilized — preventing future structural issues — but the homeowner also gained peace of mind knowing they had a reliable, long-lasting solution in place. Our team’s expertise, combined with our commitment to leaving the work site clean and disruption-free, ensured a positive experience from start to finish.

Recently, we had the privilege of assisting a homeowner in Beverly, MA, who was facing some alarming issues in their home. Over time, the floors above their basement had started to sag and were noticeably uneven. This not only compromised the home's aesthetics but also raised concerns about the structural integrity and safety of their living space.

After reaching out to our Customer Care team, we were on the job to provide a lasting solution. Our process began with a thorough home inspection by our Senior Project Manager, Nate Erickson. It was quickly determined that the root of the problem lay in the basement beneath the house. The solution? SmartJack - a high-strength, adjustable support system designed to stabilize and level sagging floor joists in the basement. The beauty of SmartJack lies in its durability and adjustability, providing an immediate and long-term fix to such foundational issues. Our production team, comprised of dedicated foreman Nick Carelli and skilled installers, went to work with precision and care. They methodically installed the SmartJack system, replacing the inadequate supports, effectively lifting and leveling the previously sagging floor to its original position. Throughout the process, maintaining the cleanliness and integrity of the homeowner's property was a priority, ensuring that we left no trace behind except for the solutions we provided.

Andrew L. of Beverly, Massachusetts has always had issues with his wet basement. In the last year, the leaks and flooding had become significantly worse and far more frequent. As a homeowner with a partially finished basement, Andrew wanted to protect his investment. He had already installed a sump pump and removed mold when first moving in, however, with the sump pump not working properly, the mold had started to return. With the idea of fully finishing the basement down the line, Andrew trusted us to provide him with a solution that permanently keeps his basement dry.

In order to best solve Andrew's problem, one of our Design Specialists went to the home to do a thorough inspection of the basement. After finishing the inspection, our Design Specialist recommended installing our TripleSafe sump pump, WaterGuard, TrenchDrain, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This waterproofing system works by using a piping system (WaterGuard) to intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and deliver it to the sump pump. The sump pump then pumps water out of the house safely through a drainage line. TrenchDrain is a surface drainage system that was used to avoid an old sewage line that ran along the wall. This drainage system flows into the WaterGuard system. Lastly, the SaniDry Sedona was installed to remove mold, dust and other toxins to create a comfortable living space.
This waterproofing system fully accommodated Andrew's needs. He was thrilled that his basement will now be a dry and comfortable space after years of not getting the results he's wanted.

A homeowner in Beverly, Massachusetts, recently purchased their home about a month ago. Since purchasing the home they have noticed water seepage in their basement. As a new owner of the home, they would like to address the problem as quickly as they could. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist Tom recommended installing a full perimeter drainage system around the perimeter of the basement to collect any water from the basement and send it to the sump pump where it was sent to the exterior of the home.

Our team began by chipping out a 6" trench around the entire basement so we could install our WaterGuard. The team also chipped out a basin so we could install our TripleSafe sump pump. The team then inserted the TripleSafe into the basin and plumbed it to the exterior of the home where we installed our IceGuard and Exterior Drainage Line. The team then installed the WaterGuard around the perimeter, then proceeded to pour crushed stone around the system to keep it in place before we mix concrete and cover the WaterGuard. 

The homeowner was very pleased with the installation of the perimeter drainage system into their home. They no longer have to worry about water seeping into their basement. 

A homeowner in Beverly, Massachusetts, lives in a home that was built in the 1940s and they have seen mold starting to grow in their crawlspace. The homeowners have lived in their homes for the past 4 years, in the last 2 years they had noticed a change in the odor in the crawlspace to then actually seeing mold forming in the crawlspace. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free crawlspace inspection to find a solution for the mold. Our Design Specialist James examined the crawlspace and recommended installing CleanSpace, SmartDrain, SaniDry Sedona, Foamax, and Rim Joist Insulation to address the moisture allowing the mold to form. 

Our Installation Team began by installing the SmartDrain on the floor of the crawlspace. The SmartDrain will collect any water from the crawlspace and send it down and away from the crawlspace. Next, the team installed CleanSpace, Foamax, and Rim Joist Insulation to the crawlspace to encapsulate it and prevent moisture from the ground to penetrate the crawlspace. After the crawlspace was encapsulated, the team then installed our SaniDry Sedona in the crawlspace to control the humidity levels in the crawlspace and prevent mold spores from growing. 

At the end of the project, the homeowner was given a walkthrough by our Crew Lead and they explained everything was installed. The homeowner was very impressed with everything installed. 

A homeowner in Beverly recently moved into their 1950s home. When they moved into their home they noticed water collecting in their basement. They wanted to find a solution to keep water out of their basement. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist Tom examined the basement and recommended installing a Super Sump into the basement to collect any water that tried to seep into the basement. The home had an existing sump pump that wasn't doing that job anymore and that was why Tom recommended installing one of our pumps. 

Our production team started by finding the lowest point in the basement and then started creating a basin for the Super Sump. The team chipped out the concrete and installed the sump basin and then they installed the Super Sump into the basin. Once set in the basin the team plumbed the Super Sump outside and buried the drainage line in the yard. They then proceeded to test the pump to verify that everything was working properly. Then they mixed concrete and poured concrete around the edges of the sump pump to give it a nice clean look. 

The homeowners were very pleased with the Super Sump installation. All of their concerns were met and exceeded with the installation. They weren't worried about water entering their basement anymore. 

A homeowner in Beverly, Massachusetts, had lived in their home for the past year. The homeowners have a child that had a respiratory issue, the child has a sensitivity to the air. The home had a radon mitigation system installed that the homeowner thinks isn't keeping the radon levels low enough. The homeowner called EFS for a free inspection, and our design specialist recommended installing an additional extraction point to the existing radon system. 

Our production team began by splicing one section of the radon pipe so they could connect an additional extraction point. After the team joined the radon pipe the team created the second extraction point in a different area of the basement from the first extraction point. The team linked the extraction point to the radon pipe and then to the radon fan. The goal of the homeowner was to get the radon levels down to 2 pCi/L which our team reached. 

The homeowners were very happy with the results of the project and that it will help their child be able to breathe better. 

A homeowner in Beverly, Massachusetts, had an existing trench drain system clogged in their basement. They reached out to EFS because the original installer of their trench drain was no longer in business to do maintenance on the system. The homeowner would like to have their basement finished after they stop water from entering their basement. Our design specialist recommended changing out their old sump pump and IceGuard with a new one and cleaning out their perimeter drainage system. 

Our production team first started by removing the old sump pump and IceGuard and installing new ones. The team replaced the old sump pump with our TripleSafe which has more than enough power to keep the basement dry. The team replaced the old IceGuard with an additional one because of the increased power of the TripleSafe sump compared to their old sump pump. Once the sump pump and IceGuard and TripleSafe were installed the team cleaned out the perimeter drainage system and then tested the system to make sure everything worked properly. 

The homeowner was very happy with the results of the project. They are happy they no longer have to worry about water coming into their basement after they finish it. 

A homeowner in Beverly, Massachusetts, already has a perimeter drainage system but is experiencing water coming from under the basement slab. The homeowner has noticed water coming up from three areas on the floor. Our design specialist inspected the basement and recommended installing drainage through the middle of the basement. 

Our production team installed 47 feet of WaterGuard IOS that is integrated with the existing drainage system. The drainage will be a line with 3 branches that will collect water and direct it toward the sump pump. 

This homeowner in Beverly, Massachusetts had the garage rebuilt and the contractor didn't do a good job. In the middle of the garage floor was a big hump. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Michael Bradley arrived at the home and inspected the garage. Michael recommended that EFS demo the existing garage floor and have us pour a new garage floor.
