Reliable Concrete Repair & Foundation Repair Company serving Medford, MA

When a concerned homeowner in Medford, MA, reached out to us about their relentless battle against water seeping through their basement's foundation, creating an unwelcoming, moldy environment, we knew just the intervention needed. They had a vision of transforming this damp, underused space into a beautifully finished basement, but first, we had to address the waterproofing woes that had plagued their home.

Upon establishing the first point of contact, our dedicated Customer Care team set the wheels in motion, scheduling a detailed home inspection. Seasoned System Design Specialist Scott Ruisi from our Sales Team visited the home to examine the unfortunate reality of water damage. He identified the areas requiring attention and walked the homeowner through a tailor-made solution featuring our state-of-the-art product line: WaterGuard for perimeter drainage, our robust TripleSafe Sump Pump system to efficiently eject captured water, IceGuard to prevent discharge line freeze-ups during the cold seasons, and CleanSpace vapor barrier to fend off any remaining moisture or mold concerns. With the game plan set, our skilled Production Team took to the task with precision and care. The install involved meticulously laying out the WaterGuard drainage channel at the foundation perimeter, ensuring it was perfectly poised to intercept any incoming moisture. The TripleSafe Sump Pump was then installed, a behemoth in disguise, ready to leap into action at the slightest hint of water. Winter fears were put to rest with the addition of IceGuard on the exterior discharge line, and the once vulnerable walls were shielded with our CleanSpace liner, creating a barrier against moisture and mold growth.

Upon completion, the transformation was nothing short of remarkable. Our crew, with their unwavering dedication to cleanliness and respect for the home, ensured every speck of debris was cleared before completing a final walkthrough with the homeowner. Before heading out, the homeowner expressed how ecstatic he was for his new waterproofing system.

At Erickson Foundation Solutions, one of our recent projects involved a particular homeowner from Medford, MA, who was in a bit of a hurry to get their basement ready for a very special arrival - their first child. The family wanted to transform their basement into a functional, welcoming space but were faced with a concerning issue: the basement was prone to dampness and mildew, hardly the environment they dreamed of for their expanding family.

Understanding the urgency and significance of the task, our customer care team quickly arranged for a home inspection. Our System Design Specialist, after a detailed inspection, diagnosed the real problem behind the damp basement — inadequate waterproofing and an unreliable sump pump system unable to cope with the challenges posed by their property's location. Our recommended solution came in a combination of high-quality, dependable products: the WaterGuard drainage system, the TripleSafe Sump Pump, and the IceGuard system. The WaterGuard was designed to effectively intercept water at the perimeter of the basement, channeling it away before it could cause any trouble. The TripleSafe Sump Pump took the reassurance a step further, offering three levels of protection to ensure the basement stays dry come rain or shine. Finally, the IceGuard system was the cherry on top, providing a safeguard against potential freezing and clogging of the outdoor discharge lines during the notoriously harsh Massachusetts winters. Our installation was a streamlined process, focusing first on excavating along the interior perimeter for the WaterGuard, setting up the TripleSafe Sump Pump with its backup battery system, and ensuring the IceGuard was fitted flawlessly on the outside.

We completed the job with thorough clean-up, leaving behind nothing but a perfectly dry, ready-to-be-utilized basement.

At Erickson Foundation Solutions, we pride ourselves on transforming challenging situations into successful home repairs, and a recent project in Medford, MA, is a perfect example of this. A homeowner reached out to us after noticing that the floors above their crawl space were uneven and unstable, a sure sign of foundational issues that needed immediate attention. The cause? Outdated lally columns that were failing to stabilize the floors, putting the home's structure at risk.

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, our Customer Care team quickly lined up a home inspection. When our System Design Specialist Debra Rayborn arrived, they meticulously assessed the crawl space, diagnosed the problem, and proposed using our SmartJacks system as a solution. Our SmartJacks are designed for precisely this type of repair, capable of supporting and stabilizing sagging floors and foundations to prevent further damage. The project wasn't without its challenges, including negotiations around pipe obstructions which required a minor floor lift. Yet, our installation team, equipped with both the expertise and the state-of-the-art SmartJacks system, worked diligently to ensure the home was treated with the utmost care.

Following the installation, a final walkthrough revealed a drastically improved and stabilized crawl space. The floors were no longer sagging, and the homeowner could rest easy knowing their home was now standing on a robust and reliable foundation. It was another example of Erickson Foundation Solutions taking a problematic foundation and returning peace of mind to the homeowner, all while upholding our mission to provide a remarkable customer experience complemented by a durable solution to the home's foundational challenges.

Upon contacting our Customer Care team, an appointment was scheduled for a detailed home inspection. Our System Design Specialist, Debra Rayborn, paid a visit to the home, thoroughly diagnosing the problem. It was clear that the best path to a sturdy and secure foundation was through replacing the compromised support columns with our SmartJack system. SmartJack is an advanced support system designed to address such foundational issues efficiently. Unlike traditional support methods, SmartJack provides solid and adjustable support, ensuring the homeowner’s basement is both stable and capable of withstanding heavy loads.

When the owner of a cozy home in Medford, MA, noticed water pooling in their basement and garage floors after every storm, they knew it was a problem too big to ignore. Fearing the potential for damage to their home's foundation and the havoc moisture could cause, they reached out to us at Erickson Foundation Solutions for help.

Our initial step was to send System Design Specialist, Debra Rayborn, to conduct a thorough inspection of the area. It was immediately evident that foundation seepage was the culprit behind the persistent puddling. We recommended a multi-product solution to ensure a dry and safe basement and garage space for years to come. We installed our proven WaterGuard system, a perimeter drainage system designed to catch wall seepage and ground water. A top-of-the-line TripleSafe Sump Pump system, which automatically adjusts to changing water volumes, was put in place to eject the collected water swiftly. To further protect the spaces from moisture, our team installed the CleanSpace moisture barrier on the walls, effectively sealing off any seep then, IceGuard was placed outdoors to prevent any potential blockage or overflow caused by freezing.

This completed network ensured that future storms wouldn't mean water damage or disrupted days for the homeowners. Once we were done, the dreaded puddles were a thing of the past. Not only was the base of the home secure from moisture, but the homeowners could reclaim and enjoy their spaces without the looming threat of water damage. They were relieved and impressed with the quick and effective resolution, happy to know that their home was in safer hands with Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Recently, in Medford, MA, we encountered a house grappling with a daunting challenge that a lot of homeowner's fear - sinking floors giving away signs of inadequate structural support. Understandably distressed over the weakening integrity of their home, the homeowner reached out to us, prompting the opportunity for Erickson Foundation Solutions to step in and offer a breath of explanation and solution.

The shift in the home’s foundation had rendered the previous support columns ineffective, very much like a wobbly table standing on uneven legs. This is where SmartJacks come into the picture. Unlike the original failing support columns, SmartJacks provide a solid and adjustable steel solution specifically designed for lift and stabilization, a task they perform commendably well. Our journey to resolution began with the appointment set up by our Customer Care team leading to an extensive home inspection performed by one of our experienced System Design Specialists. After a careful analysis, we recommended the installation of SmartJacks to alleviate the homeowners' worries by directly addressing the sagging floors and compromised support columns. Installation day arrived, and from there, it unfolded with military precision. Each member of our production team, led by Ed Nadreau, brought their expertise into play, ensuring the implementation went as smoothly as the plan on paper.

Aside from fitting in the robust SmartJacks, their commitment shone through the meticulous cleanup process, also ensuring impeccable communication throughout. In the aftermath, not only were the measurements conclusive evidence of substantially improved stability and leveling, but there was also peace returning to the homeowner's eyes—a notable side-by-side comparison with their initial concern. Medford now hosts a safer, more stable home.

Matt. D of Medford, Massachusetts noticed over the past year that he had a very damp basement. Looking for peace of mind, he called Erickson Foundation Solutions to control the dampness and mold in order to create a healthy storage space.

Our Design Specialist, Scott Ruisi, recommended installing our TripleSafe sump pump system and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Our installation crew chipped out concrete at the lowest point of the basement in order to create a basin for the sump pump to rest in. This basin collects water from outside of the foundation and allows the sump pump to pump it out of the home through an exterior discharge line. On that exterior discharge line, IceGuard is installed to prevent pipes from freezing. If pipes were to freeze, water could get backed up and flood the basement. Lastly, the SaiDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed. This eliminates moisture in the basement, creating a dry and temperate basement. The SaniDry Sedona also removes mold spores in the air, creating healthier air for the entire home.

These systems create a welcoming and dry basement. Matt now has peace of mind that his personal belongings are protected.

A homeowner in Medford, Massachusetts, has lived in there for the past 3 years. The home was built in the early 1900s and the homeowner has been making renovations to the home since they purchased it. During the renovations in their basement, they noticed one of the beams in the basement was cracked. They wanted to make sure that they add extra support before continuing with their renovations. The homeowners call EFS for a free inspection of their home. Our Design Specialist Kenny inspected the home and recommended adding a couple of SmartJacks under the cracked beam to stabilize it. 

Our installation team began by chipping out a small section of concrete so we can install our footings. Once chipped out the team will remove some dirt so our big footings will sit flush under the concrete. The team made sure the footing was level before installing the SmartJack to the beam. Once connected to the beam the team tightened the adjustable top of the SmartJack to support the beam. After the SmartJacks have tightened the team then mixed up some concrete and poured it over the SmartJack's footing to lock them in place. 

A homeowner in Medford, Massachusetts, recently purchased their home in October 2022. They had a home inspector do a pre-purchase inspection. The inspector recommended testing their home for radon. The homeowners decided to call a local company that installs radon mitigation systems into homes. The company that the homeowners reached out to was Erickson Foundation Solutions. Our Design Specialist Josh dropped a CRM test kit off at the home 48 hours before his appointment with the homeowners. On the day of the appointment, Josh arrived at the home and started his inspection. Josh first reviewed the CRM test results, the results came back at 2.4 pCi/L which isn't above the threshold of being harmful. The homeowners still would like to bring that number down to as close to zero as possible. Josh, designed a radon mitigation system specifically for their home. 

Our production team began by chipping a small hole in the slab in the basement. This hole will be the extraction point for the radon mitigation system. The team then attached a PVC pipe to the extraction point and began connecting PVC piping. The team used several feet of PVC piping until navigating the piping to the exterior of the home. Once outside, the team installed the Radon Fan to the side of the home and connected the PVC pipe to the fan. After the team vented the system above the roofline of the home. 

The homeowner was happy that they don't have to worry about the radon levels in their home. 

A homeowner in Medford, Massachusetts, lived in a family home that has been owned for over 40 years. The home was built in the 1880s and about 10 years ago the homeowner noticed settlement in their garage slab. The homeowner would like to have their basement redone but would like to have the garage slab repaired first. A neighbor recommended having their pool guy look at the concrete. The homeowner met with the pool guy but didn't think they were the right person for the job. The homeowner then reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions to have us come look at their concrete problems. Our design specialist recommended installing PolyLevel to level the slab and repair the garage apron. 

Our production team began by drilling portholes into the garage slab. The portholes will allow PolyLevel to be injected underneath the garage slab to lift and level it. The team had drilled the portholes in a grid pattern around the garage slab. Then the team started injecting PolyLevel into each porthole to slowly lift and level the garage slab. After the slab was lifted the team moved on to repairing the garage apron. The team chipped out the apron of the garage and poured a new apron at the front of the garage. 

The homeowner was happy that their garage slab was repaired and looks great. The homeowner can now schedule an appointment to have the garage redone.
