Durable Foundation Repair in Worcester County, MA: Concrete Lifting & Radon Mitigation

This homeowner in Plaistow, New Hampshire has children that have recently settled in Texas. They would like to sell their home in Plaistow and move out to Texas to be near their kids. They wanted to do some inexpensive upgrades to their home to make sure they got top dollar when they decided to sell. One of the upgrades on the list was a radon mitigation system. The homeowners knew that there were moderately high radon levels in the home. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. A couple of days before their appointment a representative from EFS arrived at the home to drop off a radon test. The test will examine the air for the next 48 hours and report on the radon levels in the home. 

Design Specialist Brian Swindell inspected the home for visible signs of radon, like small cracks in the wall or the slab. Brian had found some crack on the slab in the basement that would need to be sealed. Brian then went over the test results with the homeowners. The result of the radon test showed that the radon levels in the home are above 10 pCi/L. Brian recommended installing a radon mitigation system into the home to get the radon levels as low as possible. 

Crew Lead Dillon Kingsbury and his team installed the radon mitigation system into the home and sealed the cracks in the slab to ensure no radon can seep up through the floor. 

This homeowner in Worcester, Massachusetts was experiencing water coming off of their vehicles and collecting in the back corner of the garage. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Kenny Calabrese inspected the garage. Kenny used a laser level to see if the garage slab had sagged in any places. He had found that the whole slab had sunk to one corner. To counteract the sunken corner, Kenny recommended injecting PolyLevel under the slab to lift the slab and create a slop for the water to run off away from the home. 

Crew Lead Nick Melo and his team arrived at the home and injected the PolyLevel into the slab. They lifted the slab and created a slope of a couple of degrees to allow the water to run off into the driveway. 

A homeowner in North Grafton, Massachusetts, had a 3-car garage that was settling. After living in the home for four years, they noticed the settlement in the garage last year. The homeowner wants to protect their garage from further settlement. The homeowner would also like to have the chipped pieces of concrete repaired. Our design specialist examined the garage bays and recommended installing PolyLevel to counteract the settlement. 

Our production team drilled little ports in a grid pattern over the garage floor. The team then used the Poly Spray gun to inject Poly under the slab. The crew used NexusPro and a concrete patch to seal the garage and fix the chipped concrete. The homeowners were happy with the results of the project. 

This home on Stodge Meadow Pond in Ashburnham, MA was up on a hillside overlooking the water. The backyard of the home that ran down towards the pond was contained and propped up by a very large, 12' high concrete retaining wall. Over the years as rain waters and melting snow kept saturating the soils, the dirt became very heavy and gradually kept applying pressure against the retaining wall. Eventually the wall cracked in several locations and began to lean. Beneath the retaining wall further down the hill, the neighbors home and property was at risk of being damaged if this concrete retaining wall did eventually collapse or break.

Our design specialist proposed wall anchors to stabilize the wall. The homeowner agreed to move forward with the project before the situation got worse, and our production team got to work. 

The team had to lightly excavate the top side of the retaining wall in order to secure the anchors within the soils on the homeowners property. Then down below the wall, large rods were inserted into the wall and pushed through until they met the anchors deep in the soil up above. The steel rods were then anchored to the concrete retaining wall with large steel plates. In total, 12 wall anchors were installed along the length of the 36' wall. With these anchors in place, the retaining wall was completely stabilized and no longer at risk of leaning any further. The last step of the project entailed covering all the anchor plates on the wall with plastic covers. This gave the system more of a finishing touch so the neighbors did not have to look at large steel plates on the wall. 

Both the neighbor and the homeowner were glad to have completed this much needed wall stabilization before the problem got worse.

This homeowner in Holden, MA reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions to determine the best way to fix his sloping concrete patio. The slab had settled a little bit where it adjoined the back of the house and a sliding door. Rain water always drained towards the home and was getting beneath the frame of the door. Our production team was successfully able to lift the concrete patio by filling the voids beneath the slab and raising it so that the water now drains away from the home. 

To achieve this, the team first determined the best locations on the surface of the slab to drill through with a 1/4" drill bit to create port holes. They then used slab jacks on the edge of the slab to slightly lift the concrete to the desired location. To keep the slab in this position by filling the voids beneath the concrete, PolyLevel was injected through the port holes and into the soils beneath, where the foam quickly expanded and stabilized the concrete.

The homeowner was pleased with the quickness of the installation and the cleanliness of the work. 

A homeowner in Worcester, Massachusetts, had a section of the pool deck that was sinking. The homeowner has a party at their home every year for labor day weekend and would like to have it repaired so no one will trip on the concrete and get hurt. Our design specialist Isaac examined the pool deck and recommended lifting the sunken section of concrete with PolyLevel. 

Crew lead Tyler and his crew began the repair process by drilling port holes into the concrete. The team attached a slab jack to the concrete and proceeded to use bottle jacks and a strong I-beam to lift the slab. The team was able to lift the slab using the slab jacks, they sprayed PolyLevel under the slab to lift and level the slab precisley. The team lifted the concrete slab back up to its original position. The homeowners were very pleased to eliminate the tripping hazard before their labor day party. 

A homeowner in Harvard, Massachusetts, had noticed their pool deck was sinking. The homeowner used their pool often and wanted to ensure there weren't any tripping hazards making the pool area unsafe. Our design specialist Isaac recommended installing PolyLevel to restore the concrete to its original height. 

Our PolyLevel crew started by drilling small port holes into each slab. The port holes are used to inject PolyLevel under the slab. To lift the slab effectively the team used the slab jacks and PolyLevel in tandem to precisely move the slab back to level. While the slab jacks created a slight void the PolyLevel fills the void and lifts the slab to the desired height. The team raised the 4 slabs around the pool up about .5"- 1" each. After all the slabs were leveled, the team cleaned up the site and sealed all the port holes on each slab.

The homeowners were very happy with the lifting of the pool deck. Now homeowners can use their pool without the fear of someone tripping and hurting themselves. 

A homeowner in Barre, Massachusetts, had purchased their childhood home. The home had been in the family for 30 years but the current homeowners have lived in the home for about 10 years. During the 10 years, the homeowner noticed some sinking and cracking slabs around the pool that they would like to repair. Near the entrance of the pool, the concrete had sunk enough to cause a tripping hazard. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our design specialist recommended installing PolyLevel and NexusPro around the edge of the pool closest to the porch. 

Our production team began by drilling portholes near the stair of the pool. After the team used the portholes to inject PolyLevel underneath each slab to lift and level them. After the slabs near the stairs of the pool were lifted and leveled, the team began sealing the cracks around the pool. The team used NexusPro to fill in all of the cracks and prevent water from washing out the dirt underneath the concrete. 

The homeowners were pleased with the repair of their pool deck. The team eliminated the tripping hazard near the steps of the pool and sealed all of the cracks. 

This homeowner in Fitchburg, MA was concerned with the moisture in their crawlspace. Most of the crawlspace area was comprosed of various heights of granite ledge. This ledge made the space difficult to utilize, as well as maintain. Water was come up through cracks in the floor, as well as run in along the ledge and create small streams. The collecting moisture was creating poor air quality and would eventually lead to mold forming on the insulation of the floor above. 

Our team proposed and installed a perimeter waterproofing system, completed with a sump pump to remove the collecting water. The ledge was also encapsulated with a CleanSpace vapor barrier in order to contain the moisture in the space. 

A homeowner in Leominster, Massachusetts, purchased their late 1800s home last year. They recently inspected the house, and the inspector mentioned the floors had a slope. Since the inspection, the homeowners feel the slope in the floor. The homeowners have a dirt floor crawlspace under their home that doesn't allow them to store anything in there and their garage was being used as a storage space instead of a place to park their cars. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their home. Our Design Specialist Michael inspected the home and crawlspace and came to the same conclusion as the inspector. Michael recommended a potential solution for both their issues, SmartJacks to repair the slope in the floors, and CleanSpace to encapsulate their crawlspace to convert it into a storage space. 

Our production team began by installing 9 SmartJacks in the crawlspace. They first installed engineered fill and a footing over the dirt to create a solid and level base. Next, the team measured and cut the steam beams to the correct size and connected them to the footings. After they were all connected to the footings the team then attached the adjustable top bracket to the steel beam and then connected the bracket to the main beam above. Once all of the SmartJacks were installed the team then began to tighten each top bracket to slowly lift up the floor. Next, the team moved on to installing CleanSpace in the crawlspace. The team laid big sheets of white CleanSpace throughout the dirt crawlspace. They combined the sheets with CleanSpace tape to fully encapsulate the crawlspace. 

The homeowner was very happy with the results of the project. They were able to now use the crawlspace as a storage space allowing them to use their garage for their cars and their floor are no longer sloping. 

A homeowner in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, lives in a home that was built in the 1920s and recently has noticed some bulging in their fieldstone foundation near their sewer cleanout. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist Isaac recommended installing PolyLevel Wall Restoration in the corner near the sewer cleanout. 

Our team brought our PolyLevel rig down to Fitchburg and set up the hose in the basement to spray the bulging wall. Our team sprayed the 8' section of the fieldstone foundation with PolyLevel Wall Restoration to prevent further bulging of the foundation wall. 

The homeowners were pleased with the project. They were able to start redoing the siding on the exterior of the home. 

A homeowner in Holden, Massachusetts, has a storage room off of their garage that they wanted to have the concrete slab looked at. The homeowners wanted to find a way to use the room for other than storage so they reached out to EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist Isaac recommended installing PolyLevel under the slab in the storage room to lift and level it. Additionally, Isaac recommended using NexusPro to seal all of the cracks on the slab. 

Our Installation Team began by drilling small injection port holes into the slab. The team will then use the port holes to inject PolyLevel beneath to lift and level the slab. Once the team lifted and leveled the slab the team will then use NexusPro to seal all of the cracks on the slab. 

The homeowner was pleased with the solution that EFS provided. The homeowners can now use the storage room for things other than storage if they would like. 

This homeowner in Gardner, MA needed to find a solution to the sunken concrete step outside his front door. His guests and family were tripping due to the height of the step after the concrete had settled about an inch. The homeowner was impressed by Erickson's PolyLevel solution for lifting and leveling concrete. Our specialist, Kenny Calabrese, proposed the ideal solution, which lifted and leveled the step without any disruption to the concrete or the surrounding area. Installation took less than a day by Nick Melo and Joe Rosato, and the front stair and walkway were able to be used within minutes of installation. The homeowner was very pleased to have a safe entrance way for his family. 

These homeowners in Templeton, MA were planning to resurface their pool patio deck with a new covering. However, while seeking design ideas with contractors, they discovered the pool patio was too uneven to safely apply a new surface, and still have it look good. They needed to level their concrete. 

In searching for a solution, they came across Erickson Foundation Solutions and were interested in our concrete lifting and leveling services. Our specialist, Isaac Hernandez, proposed and designed the ideal solution for them, in PolyLevel. Instead of removing any concrete or any type of heavy demolition, our PolyLevel application allows the homeowner a quick, and permanent solution. 

Our production team was able to complete the concrete lifting project in less than a day for the homeowners. They were also able to walk on the concrete, or even apply heavy objects to it, within 15 minutes of installation. They were thrilled to have a lifted and stable concrete patio, and excited to move forward with the remainder of their patio renovation project.

The owner of this home in Worcester, MA was concerned with the condition of the concrete around their property. They had a concrete walkway that wrapped around one corner of the home and served as an entrance area to their pool shed. The slab had become uneven and had started to form cracks, which meant voids were forming beneath the concrete and causing it to settle.

The homeowner chose PolyLevel as their solution, as it was the most clean and efficient method for making the repairs they needed. PolyLevel is a slab jacking process that utilizes a polymer foam as an alternative to the messy and heavy mudjacking material. 

Our repair specialists drilled dime sized holes throughout the concrete sections, and pinpointed exactly where they needed to lift and support. The lift and level process took less than a day, and the homeowners were able to continue using their backyard and concrete surface immediately. 

The homeowners of this property in Westborough, MA were concerned with the condition of the concrete patio surrounding their inground pool. Over the years, the deck had gradually settled in various places, and a large crack formed near the stairs. This crack had become a nuisance, and the owners wanted peace of mind with knowing family and friends would not be tripping or stubbing bare toes on this large crack in the concrete. 

While discussing replacing the concrete with new material, they also came across Erickson Foundation Solutions and PolyLevel as an option. During the free inspection process, the owners were convinced PolyLevel was the ideal fix, as it would prevent them from having to demolish and remove large sections of concrete, and replace it with new. New concrete would not match in color to other sections, and a project of that size would also cost quite a bit. 

Our concrete specialists, Joe and Nick, arrived on the morning of the scheduled project and were able to complete the repairs to the pool deck in a single day. PolyLevel successfully filled the various voids beneath the slabs and lifted the pool deck as much as an inch in some places. Where there was once a large crack and trip hazard, was now stabilized and even. The cracks and joints were sealed with NexusPro, a silicone based sealant designed for outdoor conditions, and the repairs were complete. The owners were very pleased with the results and are looking forward to enjoying their pool area without worrying about cracks or stubbed toes.

This homeowner in Lunenburg, MA was concerned with a number of tripping hazards at various sections of his concrete deck around his inground pool. Concrete slab sections abutted a perimeter of pool coping blocks, and at some of these locations the concrete had settled. This meant somebody could stub a toe near the edge of the water, and possibly stumble into the pool. Rather than demolish and replace the uneven concrete, the homeowner wanted a solution to simply lift the slab to remove the hazard.

Our team proposed PolyLevel as the ideal solution, as no removal of concrete would be necessary, and the installation process does not involve any disruption to the surrounding landscaping of the yard. 

Our concrete repair specialists arrived on time on the schedule day for the project, and were able to complete installation of PolyLevel in just a few hours. The concrete was successfully lifted to the desired height for the homeowner, and the tripping hazards will no longer be a concern. 

A resident of Berlin, Massachusetts, lives in an antique home that underwent a radon test recently. The results revealed higher levels than the homeowners had expected. As a result, they enlisted EFS to conduct an inspection of their dwelling. Our Design Specialist, Liam FitzPatrick, assessed the property and devised a plan to reduce the radon levels. Liam suggested fitting a radon mitigation system, Drainage Matting, and CleanSpace to decrease the amount of radon in the home. 

Our Installation Team, led by Dillon Kingsbury, started the process by creating an extraction point in the slab. This point would allow us to attach a PVC pipe to it and draw up radon-filled air from beneath the home's foundation. The PVC pipe would then transport the radon to the exterior of the house, where the radon fan attached to the home's exterior would push the air above the roofline, allowing it to dissipate into the open air. The team also added Drainage Matting and CleanSpace to the basement, which would cover the walls and floors and prevent radon from seeping into the home through other areas of the basement's slab. 

The homeowner was relieved when they conducted another radon test after the project was completed, and the radon levels had fallen below the recommended amount.

This homeowner in Harvard, Massachusetts, had a gross and moldy crawlspace that they would like encapsulated. The homeowners called EFS for a free inspection of their crawlspace. Our Design Specialist Tom Armano met with the homeowners and inspected the crawlspace. Tom recommended encapsulating the space with CleanSpace and Rim Joist Insulation, as well as Drainage Matting, SilverGlo, and TerraBlock underneath the encapsulation for added protection. 

Our Installation Team led by Steve Dumais began by cleaning out any debris from inside the crawlspace. While they were clearing out debris they also resecured some of the falling insulation. Next, the team installed the Drainage Matting and Terrablock onto the crawlspace floors and installed the SilverGlo on the walls. After those were secured the team then installed CleanSpace over both the floors and the walls. After the CleanSpace was installed the team then sprayed our Rim Joist Insulation right above the CleanSpace to fully encapsulate the crawlspace. Lastly, the team installed our SaniDry Sedona which is a high-strength dehumidifier that will control the humidity. The homeowners have the ability to set the humidity to whatever they would like.

This homeowner in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, lives in a home that was built in the 1920s. They purchased the home two years ago and the home inspector that did their inspection told them the floors on the main floor were sagging because of the supports in the basement. The homeowner after two years of living in the home decided to call EFS for a free inspection of the supports and floor system in the basement.  Our Design Specialist Keith Soper met with the homeowner and inspected the supports in the basement. He recommended installing 7 SmartJacks to replace the old supports and stabilize the floor system to eliminate the sagging in the basement. 

Our Installation Team led by Eric Witham began by setting up temporary posts in the basement so we could remove the old supports. After we removed the old supports the team chipped out concrete so we could install our footings for the SmartJacks. We made sure to level the footing before we cut the galvanized steel supports to size. Once cut to the correct the team installed an adjustable top bracket to the support and to the main beam of the floor system. After all of the SmartJacks were installed to the floor system we then used the adjustable top bracket to lift up on the floor system and eliminate the sag in the floors. The team made sure the floors were level by using a laser level. After the team achieved a level floor or as close as possible the team then mixed up concrete and poured it over the footing of the SmartJacks to lock them into place. 

The homeowners were very pleased with the installation of the SJs. 

The owner of this pool had been dealing with uneven concrete and trip hazards in the concrete patio for several years. They noticed the problem was getting worse, the area was becoming unsafe, and the voids under the slabs were allowing rainwater to be pushing against and destroying the pool liner. Rather than demolish all the concrete and replace the entire patio, they were thrilled to learn our Erickson team had alternative solutions. After inspection, it was determined PolyLevel and NexusPro would be the ideal fix, and our team was hired for the repairs. 

Over the course of 4 days, our team grinded and cleaned out all the cracks and joints, lifted and leveled the uneven concrete sections, stabilized the entire patio with PolyLevel, and resealed all the joints and cracks with NexusPro sealant. 

The transformation of the patio was amazing, as all the trip hazards were removed and the pool area was once again a safe environment for the homeowner. They were very pleased with the results and the solution our Erickson team was able to provide.

This homeowner in Templeton, MA was concerned with the condition of the concrete surrounding his inground pool. Over the years, several cracks had appeared on the surface due to voids forming beneath the concrete. Rain waters had been moving the soils which eventually left them unsupported and susceptible to settlement. The two main concerns for the homeowner were taking care of the trip hazards, and preventing the problems from getting worse. 

The design specialist for our Erickson Foundation Solutions team provided them with a through inspection and proposal, laying out exactly how our team could not only fix the problem, but offer protection against further settlement going forward. Pleased with what they learned, our team was hired for the project. 

On the scheduled day of installation, our production specialists got right to work laying out their injection patterns. They quickly identified where PolyLevel was going to be needed for injection, and made their tiny, dime sized port holes. As the PolyLevel, polymer foam expanded beneath the concrete, it successfully lifted the sections that had sunken or settled. The process was quick and efficient, and required no disruption to the landscaping surrounding the pool. While some sections were lifted, others were stabilized to prevent any future settlement or cracking concerns. With this protection in place, the homeowner felt assured the concrete around their pool was in good shape going forward, and the patio was now much safer for his family.

A homeowner in Allenstown, New Hampshire has been experiencing water entering their basement for the past three years. This year, the amount of water that flooded their basement was the last straw, so they reached out to EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist, Victor Tapia, met with the homeowner and suggested installing a perimeter drainage system to prevent water accumulation on the basement floor. The installation included 86' of WaterGuard, a TripleSafe sump pump, 2 IceGuards, and an Exterior Drainage Line.

The Installation Team, led by Gunther and Paul, began by removing concrete around the perimeter of the basement. After creating a 6-inch wide trench and a basin for the TripleSafe sump pump, they installed the drainage and sump pump. The TripleSafe was then plumbed to the exterior of the home, where 2 IceGuards and an 8-foot Exterior Discharge Line were installed. The drainage line was buried, and the team poured concrete over the WaterGuard and the sump pump basin. Once the concrete was cured, the system was securely in place, and the homeowner no longer has to worry about water entering their home.

A homeowner in Fitchburg, Massachusetts purchased their home in October 2022. The previous homeowner informed them about a vertical crack on the back of the garage foundation. Concerned about the issue worsening, the new homeowner contacted EFS for a free inspection of their foundation. The Design Specialist, Mark Proctor, met with the homeowners and thoroughly inspected both the inside and outside of the foundation. During the inspection, he discovered a crack in the back of the garage and also noticed that the back wall was bowing outwards, which was causing the crack to expand every year. Following the inspection, Mark recommended installing 3 Geolocks at the back of the garage to stabilize and straighten the foundation wall. The installation team, led by Eric Witham, began the process by creating a trench in the garage and installing the 3 Geolocks into the trench, and extending them to the back foundation wall of the garage. They chipped out a trench 10' from the wall, running parallel to the back wall, so they could install the Geolocks into the trench and onto the outside foundation wall. The team then drilled 3 small holes into the foundation wall so they could send galvanized rods through the foundation wall and into the trench. They installed plates on both sides of the rods and then tightened both ends of the rod. By tightening the rod, the plates were able to grab onto the soil and the wall, initiating the process of straightening the wall. After the wall was straightened, the team filled the trench and poured concrete to match the garage slab. The homeowner was very pleased with the installation of the Geolocks.

This homeowner in Worcester, Massachusetts, was built in the early 1900s. The homeowners were tackling projects around their home so they could sell it in a few years. The supports in the basement needed to be replaced so the homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist Mark Proctor met with the homeowner and inspected the supports in the basement. Mark recommended replacing them with 4 SmartJacks. This will help stabilize the floor system for many years to come. 

Our Installation Team led by Steve began by chipping out concrete so we could install our big footings for the 4 SmartJacks. Once chipped out the team installed our big footings and made sure our footings were level before we installed the SmartJack to the main beam. After securing the SmartJacks to the main the team double-checked that the supports were level and straight up and down. This will ensure that the supports can't move. After everything was double-checked the team then mixed up concrete and poured it over the footings to lock them into place. 

After the concrete was cured the team did a walkthrough with the homeowner to show them the SmartJacks. The homeowners were very pleased with the results of the project and were able to move onto the next project in their home. 

A homeowner in Gardner, Massachusetts has been living in their house for the past ten years. During this time, they noticed that their front steps were settling away from the house, causing them some concern. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection of the stairs. Our Design Specialist, Tom Armano, met with the homeowner and used his laser and level to determine the extent of the settlement. Tom discovered that the stairs had settled significantly and needed to be replaced and reinforced. Tom measured the stairs and our team ordered a new set of stairs that we would install. 

On the day of the installation, our team arrived with an excavator to remove the old staircase from the front of the home. Once the old stairs were removed, the team installed 2 EZ posts where the front of the stairs will sit to ensure that this set of steps will not settle. After the new stairs were delivered, our team used the excavator to lift them and set them in place under the front door. The EZ posts were connected by a galvanized beam, and the team made sure that the stairs were level with the help of levels. They then built up soil around the staircase. 

The homeowners were thrilled with the results of the project.

A homeowner in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, has a home built in 2000. Over the last five years, the owners have noticed that the concrete stairs at the front of their home have begun to pull away from the attached deck. As both homeowners have had knee and hip replacements, they want to eliminate trip or slip hazards. To get a free inspection of the front steps of their home, the homeowners called EFS.

Our Design Specialist, Jim Meglio, met with the homeowner and inspected the two-step staircase at the front of the home. As Jim arrived at the home and walked up to the steps, he noticed that the front of the steps was sinking. Using his level, Jim confirmed his suspicion that the steps were sinking considerably to the front. To solve this issue for the homeowner, we recommended installing a new staircase with a railing for safety. Jim took measurements of the steps to order the same-sized steps. To stabilize the stairs, our team will install a beam across the front that has two piers supporting it.

Our installation team, led by Neal Foley, began by removing the old stairs. Then our team installed our two EZ posts and our cross beam to make sure the front of the stairs were stabilized. The team then installed two brackets to the concrete porch that the stairs will lead up to. The team made sure the brackets and beams were level before setting the new stairs in place. They placed the stairs in position and made sure they were level before installing the railing. The railing started on the first step of the stairs and led up to the landing of the concrete porch.

Before leaving, the team performed a walkthrough with the homeowners to show them what they had done. The homeowners were very happy with the new staircase and the railing. They now feel confident when using the stairs.

Nick S. of Spencer, Massachusetts experienced his concrete driveway sinking, creating a bump when pulling cars in and out of the garage. He noted that every winter, the problem would become more apparent. Looking to permanently stabilize the concrete before sinkage became worse, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

An appointment with Design Specialist, Jim Meglio, was booked through our Customer Care team. After providing a free home inspection, Jim recommended installing PolyLevel and NexusPro. Our installation crew drilled dime-sized holes in the sunken areas of the concrete in order to inject the polyurethane foam underneath it to fill voids. This almost instantly lifted the concrete. Using slab jacks, our crew was able level the concrete to the desired position. Once the concrete was stabilized in place, NexusPro was used to seal existing cracks. This prevents further cracking and further helps stabilize the concrete.

After completing the cleanup process, crew leader Kris Sergi completed a final walkthrough with Nick to present the work that was done and answer any remaining questions. Nick was very pleased with how quick and effective it was to lift and level his driveway!

Karen L., from Harvard, Massachusetts, moved into her new home and immediately observed water seeping through the foundation at two corners and near the water pump during heavy rainfalls. This issue led to significant puddling on the floor, resulting in sleepless nights for Karen as she worked to clean up the aftermath. Seeking protection for her new home, she contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions.

After contacting our Customer Care team, an appointment was scheduled for Design Specialist, Mark Proctor, to provide a free home inspection. Mark took an in-depth look at the basement, analyzing key areas that led to water intrusion. After consulting with Karen to best provide a solution that fit her needs, Mark recommended installing our TripleSafe sump pump system. While Mark also recommended the installation of our WaterGuard perimeter drainage system, which is similar to an interior French Drain, it can be deferred to a later time if water begins to penetrate new areas of the foundation. The installation team initiated the project by removing concrete and digging 24 inches into the basement floor to install a sump basin. Subsequently, the TripleSafe sump pump system, which includes a primary, secondary, and a battery-operated backup pump, was installed in the basin. This triple-pump configuration ensures functionality under any circumstances, effectively ejecting water from the property. To facilitate water removal, an external discharge line from the TripleSafe to the front yard was installed, carefully buried to preserve the lawn's aesthetics. Additionally, IceGuard was fitted to the discharge line to avert pipe freezing and prevent system backups that could lead to basement flooding.

Upon completion of the installation, our team conducted a final inspection with Karen to confirm her contentment with the work. She was delighted with the outcome!

Lisa D. from Lancaster, Massachusetts became alarmed about her family's health when a radon gas test in their home showed a level of 7.2 pCi/L. The concern was heightened because her son's bedroom is located in the finished basement, a common entry point for radon gas. Seeking to safely utilize this living space, they contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions for assistance.

After speaking to our Customer Care team, an appointment with Design Specialist, Mark Proctor, was scheduled. Mark went out to the home and thoroughly inspected the basement, also keeping an eye out for other basement and foundation related issues. After his inspection, Mark recommended installing our radon mitigation system. The installation crew started the project by cutting a small circular hole in the concrete to establish an extraction point for the radon mitigation system. A radon pipe was then affixed to this point and routed to the home's exterior, where the Radon Fan was mounted on the side. Additional radon piping was connected to the fan and extended up the side of the house, surpassing the roofline to prevent radon re-entry. After testing the fan for functionality, the homeowners were provided with a Charcoal Test Kit to re-evaluate the radon levels in approximately one week.

Upon project completion, Mike Lyall, the crew foreman, conducted a final walkthrough with Lisa. She is now reassured that her family can safely enjoy the finished area, which is secure from radon gas exposure.

Recently in Upton, MA, we had the opportunity to help a homeowner who faced real challenges getting up and down his sunken front steps. Aware of how this issue can impact daily life, especially as we get older, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions for help. It was evident that he needed a long-lasting solution to make his home entrance safe and easily accessible again.

After contacting our friendly Customer Care team, he soon met with one of our System Design Specialists. During the home inspection, it became clear how we could help.

Our plan set into motion, and our production team, comprising of skilled foreman, Ed Nadreau and dedicated installers, got to work.

After the homeowner reached out to our friendly Customer Care team, we scheduled a visit to their home.

When a homeowner in Gardner, MA reached out to us, it was a case close to our hearts—wanting to preserve the beautiful walkway around her house that she inherited from her late mother. Over time, parts of the concrete had sunk and cracked, not only diminishing the aesthetic value of her cherished home but also presenting a safety hazard. Understanding the sentimental and safety importance of this project, we knew we had to provide an exceptional solution.

After contacting our friendly Customer Care team, the homeowner received a comprehensive home inspection from one of our knowledgeable System Design Specialists, Mark Proctor. This thorough examination highlighted the key problem areas along the walkway. Our recommended solution? A combination of PolyLevel and NexusPro to address both the uneven concrete and the damage within the cracks. Our production team, led by experienced foreman Kris Sergi and equipped with skilled installers, arrived at the home ready to restore the integrity of the walkway. We first used PolyLevel, an innovative product designed to lift and stabilize sinking concrete slabs by injecting a structural grade polymer into the voids beneath. This method not only lifted the sunken parts to their original position but did so with minimal disruption to the property.

When one homeowner in Fitchburg, MA, started seeing their backyard patio sinking and water pooling towards their house, the worry was more about when the issue would escalate rather than if. Understanding the urgency to address this before any real damage to their home's foundation could ensue, they contacted us at Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our initial approach was systematic. The homeowner called in, concerned about their pooling patio, and our Customer Care team was on it, quickly setting up an appointment. System Design Specialist Mark Proctor then visited their home to assess the situation firsthand. Conferring with the homeowner, we diagnosed that the sunken patio was indeed causing water to threaten the foundation of their home—a larger issue loomed if left unattended. With the problem clearly laid out, it was time for a resolution.

The owners, concerned about the image their business projected, reached out to our team seeking a reliable solution to restore the beauty and safety of their establishment.

The journey to rejuvenation began when our dedicated Customer Care team initially engaged with the owners, arranging for a comprehensive home inspection. Our experienced System Design Specialist Jim Meglio visited the property, performed an exhaustive evaluation, and identified the crucial areas requiring immediate attention. The diagnosis led us to recommend two of our leading products: DecoShield and NexusPro.

Recently at Erickson Foundation Solutions, we took on a project for a homeowner in Webster, MA who was facing the frustrating issue of water puddling on their pool deck. This not only posed a slipping hazard but also detracted from the overall enjoyment of their outdoor space. The heart of the problem was a lack of effective drainage, a situation all too familiar to us.

Understanding the seriousness of the situation, our Customer Care team swiftly scheduled a home inspection appointment. Following this, one of our System Design Specialists Jim Meglio visited the home to get a closer understanding of the issue at hand. After carefully evaluating the problem area, we recommended the installation of WaterGuard, a reliable waterproofing solution designed specifically for situations like this. Our production team, comprising foreman Neal Foley alongside talented installers, kicked off the work with enthusiasm. The implementation process involved meticulously installing TrenchDrain, a form of WaterGuard, along the surface of the pool deck, ensuring that it would capture any surface water and channel it away before it could pool on the surface. The system was neatly connected to a basin in the lawn near the pool deck, effectively redirecting water away from the pool area and eliminating the problematic water puddling.

By the time we wrapped up, the transformation was clear. The homeowner now enjoys a dry and safe pool deck, enhancing the enjoyment and safety of their outdoor space. The threat of water damage and the inconvenience of water puddle hazards are now a thing of the past, demonstrating Erickson Foundation Solutions' commitment to providing homeowners with a remarkable experience and reliable, lasting solutions to their home issues.

When you first approach a home, one of the key pathways leading to that warm welcome is the walkway to the front door. So, imagine the frustration when a homeowner in Westborough, MA, found the middle of their walkway had settled, not only creating an unsightly dip but also causing water to pool inconveniently right in their path. This dip made the walkway steeper than desired, posing a bit of challenge every time they and their visitors were to enter the home. Understanding the importance of not just the functionality but also the aesthetics of a home's exterior, they reached out to us at Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our initial process was swift and smooth, starting with a call to our Customer Care team. We then had System Design Specialist Jim Meglio visit the home for a thorough inspection. After diagnosing the issue, we knew exactly what needed to be done. We decided on utilizing PolyLevel and NexusPro—our tried and tested solutions for such concrete issues. PolyLevel, an innovative foam injection, is wonderful for lifting and leveling settled concrete, ensuring it moves back to its desired position without the need for a complete replacement. NexusPro, a perfect companion, is used to seal joints and cracks, prohibiting future water intrusion and guarding against weather elements.

Recently, we had the privilege of helping a homeowner in Holden, MA, who was deeply concerned about the continuous cracking of their pool deck and walkway. The wear and tear not only risked the aesthetics of their outdoor space but also raised concerns for safety and further damage.

In Holden, MA, we had the opportunity to turn around a frustrating patio problem that was spoiling one homeowner's backyard enjoyment. Having noticed their once cherished concrete block patio was showing serious signs of distress, with cracking and uneven segments where the far end was alarmingly sinking into the ground, they reached out to us at Erickson Foundation Solutions. Understandably concerned, the homeowner wanted a durable and efficient fix to restore their patio to its original state, ensuring it could be a safe and enjoyable place for family gatherings once again.

Upon the homeowner's request, our Customer Care team promptly scheduled a thorough home inspection to assess the damage closely. Our System Design Specialist Mark Proctor, armed with expertise and a careful eye, diagnosed the problem areas and recommended a twofold solution: PolyLevel and NexusPro. PolyLevel, a high-density polyurethane, was to be injected beneath the patio to address the unevenness by lifting and stabilizing the concrete slabs. NexusPro, a flexible sealant, was suggested to seal cracks and joints, not only healing the visible damage but preventing further moisture invasion and future cracking. Our skilled production team got to work, the collaboration between foreman Tyler Oslizlo and our installers ensured the job was done efficiently and cleanly, with minimal disruption to the homeowner's day-to-day life.

The result was a beautifully restored patio that not only met the structural and aesthetic standards but promised longevity. The sinking sections were effectively leveled, and the distressing cracks sealed, transforming the worrisome eyesore back into the appealing centerpiece of backyard gatherings. Beyond offering an immediate fix, the homeowners were thrilled with a solution that stands to endure, safeguarded against the common ailments that plagued their patio before.

When a homeowner in Northborough, MA, noticed their pool deck had significantly sunk about 4 inches on the back side, peaking unnaturally towards the coping, they knew it was time to call in the professionals. That's where Erickson Foundation Solutions came into the picture. Understanding how critical a level and safe pool deck is for family fun and safety, we were up to the challenge to bring their backyard oasis back to life. Our approach was straightforward yet effective.

After our friendly Customer Care team set the wheels in motion, one of our experienced System Design Specialists Mark Proctor visited the home. Following a thorough inspection, we diagnosed the core issue and proposed employing our PolyLevel and NexusPro solutions to not only rectify the sinking and peaking but also to address cracks and the physical appearance of the deck. With plan in hand, our production team, comprised of skilled foreman Nick Melo and dedicated installers, got to work. They carefully set up jacks on the problematic back side of the deck, impressively lifting and leveling it back into its perfect original placement while gently pressing down the peaking towards the coping to ensure only smooth, even surfaces remained. But we didn't stop there. We tackled about 40 ft of plastic joint removal, then sealing them with precision using NexusPro—a testament to our commitment to not just quick fixes but long-lasting solutions.

Remarkably, what was planned as a two-day job was efficiently completed in just one. This swift yet comprehensive approach meant the homeowner could enjoy their rejuvenated pool deck without a lengthy disruption to their daily life. 

Recently, we had the opportunity to assist a homeowner in Blackstone, MA, with a significant issue that had been troubling them for some time: their garage slab was sinking and developed a noticeable crack in the middle. It was a clear sign that intervention was needed to prevent further damage and potentially hazardous conditions.

Upon arrival, our team conducted a thorough assessment using laser levels and string lines. Our inspection revealed that the original concrete slab had been poured unevenly, causing low points that contributed to the sinking and cracking. Though we aimed to correct the pitch to ensure water could efficiently be directed out of the garage, we informed the homeowner of the challenges presented by the initial uneven pour. Understanding the limitations, the homeowner was on board with our plan. Our solution involved a two-pronged approach; first, we applied PolyLevel injection foam to lift and create a more uniform pitch. This step was crucial not just for alleviating the immediate problem, but also for preventing future issues by ensuring that water drains away from the garage area, rather than accumulating and causing damage or fostering conditions for mold growth. After stabilizing the foundation, we tackled the visible damage – the crack itself. Essentials like our slab jacks worked wonders to level out the area before sealing everything up neatly with NexusPro, a solution designed for its longevity and flexibility in sealing joints and cracks against harsh weather conditions and normal wear and tear.

Seeing the transformation, the homeowner was thoroughly impressed by the final walk-through. Not only were the immediate aesthetic concerns addressed, but the garage was also put on a more secure footing, quite literally, ensuring its structural integrity for years to come.

Recently, a homeowner in Fitchburg, MA, reached out to us at Erickson Foundation Solutions, facing an issue that's quite common but nonetheless frustrating — sagging floors above their basement area. This wasn't a mere aesthetic annoyance; it was affecting their home's safety and functionality. The root of their problem? A critical lack of support columns where they were needed most.

Entering into the scenario, our Customer Care team quickly organized a home inspection to get a closer look at what we were up against. As feared, the sagging floors had reached a point where immediate action was necessary. This is where our SmartJack system came into play. Our System Design Specialist Matthew Robichaud carried out a thorough diagnosis. He recommended the SmartJack solution - a dependable and proven system designed to provide solid support to failing structures. It was exactly what the homeowner needed but had no idea existed. Our Production Team, composed of dedicated foreman Neal Foley and skilled installers, got to work swiftly. The installation of the SmartJack system is by no means an easy feat — it requires precision, expertise, and a deep understanding of home foundations. However, for our team, it was just another day at the office. We installed the necessary support columns, carefully restoring the integrity of the home's floor structure, while also ensuring everything was neat and tidy before we wrapped up.

The difference? Night and day. The floors were lifted back to their original level, steadying the previously unsafe and uneven surfaces. The homeowner watched in relief as what once was a seemingly complex problem disappeared, thanks to the SmartJack's sturdy support. Now, they could finally enjoy their home without the worry of creaky, sagging floors.

Recently in Gardner, MA, we encountered a homeowner facing the unnerving dilemma of water seeping through their age-old fieldstone foundation. Aware of the damage and inconvenience unchecked water infiltration can cause, the homeowner reached out to us for a solution that promises both peace of mind and dryness.

Understanding the urgency and complexity of the situation, our Customer Care team promptly scheduled a home inspection. Our System Design Specialist Mark Proctor arrived, equipped with expertise and compassion, to fully assess the situation. After a thorough evaluation, the recommended course of action was clear: the installation of our WaterGuard drainage system, the TripleSafe Sump Pump, and an IceGuard discharge line— a combination designed not just to address but to outmatch the problem. The installation process was executed with precision by our dedicated team. The WaterGuard system, strategically placed around the perimeter of the basement, now intercepts any water attempting to invade the space. It channels the infiltrated water efficiently to the TripleSafe Sump Pump, an unyielding guardian against water, equipped to handle even the heaviest of rains. Furthermore, to combat those fierce Massachusetts winters, the IceGuard system was installed, ensuring that the sump pump discharge line does not freeze or get blocked by snow, guaranteeing an effective drainage system year-round.

Once the job was complete, the immediate difference was palpable. The homeowner witnessed their basement transformed from a concerning, damp space into a dry, secure area free of the worry of water intrusion. The sigh of relief was mutual, and the satisfaction of providing another homeowner with peace of mind was, as always, immeasurably rewarding for our team.

Recently, we had the privilege of working on a home in Gardner, MA, where the homeowner was facing a particularly stressful issue. The floors in their beloved home were sagging, and upon closer inspection, it was evident that the old support posts in the basement just weren't up to the task anymore. This wasn't just a minor inconvenience; it was a significant worry for the home's stability and safety. Understanding the gravity of the situation, the homeowner reached out to us, Erickson Foundation Solutions, driven by our reputation for not just fixing homes but truly caring for each homeowner's peace of mind.

After contacting our Customer Care team, System Design Specialist Mark Proctor from our diligent Sales Team promptly visited the home to assess the situation firsthand. They unearthed the root of the problem: the sagging joists needed urgent and robust support. Our recommendation? The installation of 5 SmartJacks. These are not your typical support posts; SmartJacks are designed to provide solid, adaptable, and enduring support to compromised structures, ensuring the home's foundation is literally in good hands. Our experienced and friendly production team got to work, focusing not only on the technical installation but also ensuring the process was as quick and seamless as possible for the homeowner.
