Brookline, NH's Professional Concrete Repair & Radon Mitigation Company

At Erickson Foundation Solutions, we love a good challenge and the opportunity to bring peace of mind to our customers. Take, for example, a homeowner in Litchfield, NH, facing the headache of an uneven garage floor with eyesore cracks that seemed to spread a little more each day. Understandably concerned about the long-term impact and the potential hazards stubborn cracks can cause, the homeowner reached out to us, ready for a fix.

After a friendly chat with our Customer Care team, we had an appointment set for a thorough home inspection. Our System Design Specialist, Victor Tapia, visited the home, bringing expert eyes to the problem. What seemed insurmountable to the homeowner was a situation we were equipped to handle. Our recommended solution? A powerful duo of PolyLevel and NexusPro, products designed to not only efficiently handle uneven and cracked concrete but to ensure that the fix was a lasting one. Cued for action, our production team rolled onto the scene, confidently prepped to smooth things over—literally. Injecting PolyLevel beneath the problematic garage floor approached the unevenness head-on, lifting and leveling the slab to its rightful height. Next, NexusPro sealed the deals—cracks, that is—creating a waterproof barrier to prevent future damage.

Mission accomplished. In a matter of hours, what was once an unsightly and potentially hazardous slipping hazard in the garage was restored to a smooth, even surface. This was exactly the reliable, long-lasting solution we love to deliver, scaffolding the homeowner’s peace of mind and letting them check one big worry off their list.

Not long ago, a homeowner in Brookline, NH, noticed that the walls of their quaint home were starting to bow inward, signaling a compounding issue with the foundation's support. Understanding the critical nature of this problem, they reached out to us at Erickson Foundation Solutions to find a dependable fix.

Our process kicked off with our friendly Customer Care team, who promptly scheduled a comprehensive home inspection. A System Design Specialist from our seasoned Sales Team then personally visited the homeowner, analyzed the situation, and diagnosed the root cause. The specialist recommended the installation of the PowerBrace system as an optimal solution for stabilizing the foundation and countering the inward bowing of the walls.

For those unfamiliar, PowerBrace is a durable, adjustable steel wall bracing system specifically engineered to secure and straighten basement walls. Its design not only assures immediate stabilization but also offers the potential for the walls to be straightened over time without significant disruption to the homeowner's daily lives. Our expert production team, comprised of a skilled foreman and dedicated installers, got to work. With proficiency, they installed the PowerBrace system, ensuring each step was conducted with utmost care and in accordance with our quality standards. Upon completing the installation, our team meticulously cleaned up the work area, leaving the house as neat as it was before our arrival.

The final outcome? The homeowner's foundation was effectively secured with the walls steadily upheld by the robust PowerBrace system. The undeniable satisfaction of achieving a safer, stabilized home underscores our commitment to providing remarkable customer experiences alongside reliable, long-lasting solutions.

Chad F. of Brookline, New Hampshire is experiencing leaks through the perimeter cold joints in his basement. He has experienced up to 2" of water from corner to corner of the foundation. Chad uses the basement for storage, and his belongings have been damaged as a result of the flooding. With interest of having a finished basement in the future, he called Erickson Foundation Solutions for a permanent waterproofing fix.

After inspecting Chad's home and discussing different solutions based on what he was looking to achieve, we recommended installing our TripleSafe sump pump. This pump system sits in a basin that collects water from the surrounding wet soil, which is then pumped safely away from the home.  Our instillation crew chipped out concrete in the foundation in order to create the basin. The TripleSafe sump pump system was then installed in the basin. An exterior drainage line was added to the sump pump system in order to safely dispose of the water. Our IceGuard system was added to the drainage line to prevent it from freezing in extremely cold temperatures. With this three-pump system in place, including a battery backup pump, it is guaranteed that the plumbing won't get backed up.

Once our installation crew put the system in place, foreman Nick Carelli performed a walk through with the homeowner to answer any questions he might have. Chad was thrilled that he now had a dry basement!

This homeowner in Brookline, New Hampshire, had lived in their home for the past 4 years. Last year they had seen water penetrating into their basement. It seemed like the water was entering the basement from the bulkhead. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist Anthony Brancato met with the homeowners and talked about their concerns. After talking about the problem they were having, Anthony inspected the basement to find a solution to their problem. Anthony confirmed that the water was entering from the bulkhead he recommended replacing the bulkhead and installing a new one. 

Our Installation Team led by Eric Witham began by removing the old bulkhead. We then installed the new bulkhead and made sure to seal everything so the bulkhead couldn't leak water into the basement.

A homeowner in Brookline, New Hampshire, built their home in 1990. After 10 years of living in the home, they decided to build a garage in 2000. Now over 20 years later the homeowner has seen some cracks growing wider on the left side of their garage. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our design specialist recommended installing 9 Push Piers on the left side of the garage to prevent the foundation from sinking any more. 

Our team began by digging down to the footing of the foundation wall. Once they exposed the footing of the left side of the garage the team chipped out small sections of the footing so they could attach the Push Pier bracket. After the bracket was installed the team used a hydraulic press to push the piers below the garage until sufficient pressure was found to stabilize the foundation of the home. Once the piers were set to the correct pressure the team sprayed PolyLevel over each bracket to serve as frost mitigation. After that, the team backfilled all the dirt and smoothed it over for the customer. 

The homeowner was pleased with the results of their project. 

A homeowner in Brookline, New Hampshire, had called EFS because groundwater was entering their garage and causing the slab to sink. Our design specialist recommended using PolyLevel to lift the concrete. The production crew injected PolyLevel under the garage slab to lift it.  The homeowners were very happy to have water no longer collecting in their garage.

Constant tenant complaints have led her to get her commercial property repaired. This property is the retirement for this owner and she would like to protect and preserve the property for years to come. With help from good referrals, she decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Stephen Caron inspected the building. Stephen found long cracks on the 12' foundation wall on the back of the building. When Stephen inspected the crawlspace he noticed there was a high amount of moisture down there. Stephen recommended installing some crack injection to seal the cracks on the foundation wall along with some SilverGlo in some areas, all cracks to have a crack monitor installed, and 2 SaniDry systems installed in the crawlspace to reduce the moisture. 

Crew Lead Nick Melo and his team arrived at the home and installed 60' of crack injection, 60 sqft of SilverGlo, and 2 SaniDry dehumidifiers. 

This homeowner in Brookline, New Hampshire was experiencing water in his basement. He had previously had cracks sealed in his basement that are now leaking again. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

A design specialist arrived at the home and inspected the basement. He found the cracks that were allowing water to enter the basement. He also found an old sump pump that was having trouble keeping up. The design specialist recommended resealing the cracks in the basement and then installing a new sump pump to keep the basement dry. 

A crew from EFS arrived at the home and sealed the cracks with Crack Seal and then installed a new Ultra Sump with Battery Backup. 

Erin D. of Brookline, NH reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions regarding her home's sagging floors. It was an old home built in the early 1800's, and though repairs and updates had been made over the years, support columns in the basement were not properly supporting the weight of the floors above. As a direct result of the sagging floors, some of the doors in the home were sticking and dragging on the floors. Additionally the humidty levels in the basement were very high, and although there was no standing water, the humid air was creating poor air conditions in the home and had the potential to lead to worse problems over time.

Design specialist Paul Magowan designed and proposed addressing the sagging floor issues with SmartJack support posts. He also recommended installation of a SaniDry dehumidifer system to assist with improving the humidy concerns. 

Crew lead Jon Provost and his team were able to complete the installation of 4 SmartJack posts and the SaniDry dehumidifier system in a single day. The SmartJack's replaced 3 failing lally columns, and another was added to help with slightly jacking up the floors that had sagged. 

With the floors stabilized (and the doors above no longer sticking or dragging), and the air quality improved, Erin is looking forward to the house being able to last another 100 years or more.
