Struggling with a soggy basement in North Reading, MA, a homeowner reached out to us as water puddles became unwanted guests after every rainstorm. Their existing sump pump simply wasn’t cutting it. As you can see in the before photo, the challenge was clear. We stepped in with a solution. Notice in the after photo, our installation of the SuperSump, IceGuard, and SaniDry Sedona turned the tide, providing a dry, comfortable, and usable space. Now, their basement is ready to weather any storm, thanks to Erickson Foundation Solutions.
A property owner in Taunton, Massachusetts had concerns regarding cracked and sunken concrete around the pool area. The 2" of sunken concrete created dangerous tripping hazards, as well as a less appealing look. Looking for a permanent fix to this issue, she reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.
Our Design Specialist, Jim Meglio, recommended installing PolyLevel concrete leveling foam, DecoShield concrete sealer, and NexusPro joint repair. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that is injected underneath the sunken concrete to fill voids, instantly lifting and leveling it. Once completed, DecoShield is applied to the concrete to prevent pitting, flaking, and other moisture-related issues. NexusPro is then applied to the joints and cracks. This prevents water from getting underneath the concrete and causing further cracks and settling.
With the installation of these products, the pool area will remain safe and level, all while looking stylish.
A homeowner in Wakefield, Massachusetts, had EFS come out for a service appointment for their sump pump. During the appointment, the homeowner told our service technician that they had water entering the basement from the bulkhead door in the basement. Our Service Technician Branden recommended installing WaterGuard in the basement to collect the water that entered the basement from the bulkhead.
A homeowner in Wakefield, Massachusetts, had water entering their basement for the past few years. They have had to clean up with a shop vac and don't want to continue to do that. They called EFS for a free inspection of their basement. We recommended installing a full perimeter drainage system into the basement to collect and pump out any water to the outside of the home.
A homeowner in Wakefield, Massachusetts was experiencing bouncy and unlevel floors. The wooden Lally columns in their basement began cracking and splitting, causing concern. Looking for peace of mind, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.
Our Design Specialist, Debra Rayborn, recommended installing SmartJacks to stabilize the floor and support the home. Our SmartJacks provide more stability than Lally columns, especially wooden ones, due to the galvanized steel plate and beam. Since they are also adjustable, we ensure that this is a permanent solution!
With the 5 SmartJacks installed, the floors are now stabilized, level, and no longer bouncy.
