A homeowner in Portsmouth, New Hampshire recently bought a home and wanted to finish his floors on the first floor. He noticed that the floors were crooked, and wanted to make sure the foundation was strong and supportive before getting any flooring work done.
A Design Specialist completed a free inspection of the home and noticed some issues with the crawl space. The Lally columns were not properly supporting the home and the crawl space was very damp. This results in sinking floors and an uncomfortable living space. Our specialist recommended adding SmartJacks and CleanSpace. SmartJacks replace the Lally Columns and provide support and stability to the entire home. This fixes the crooked and sinking floors, creating a level surface. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier encapsulates the crawl space, which provides protection from mold, critters, drafts, wood rot, and cold floors.
A combination of these systems provided this new homeowner with a strong and healthy crawl space. Our team was happy to offer a permanent solution.
This homeowner in Gloucester, MA was concerned with her dirty, cold crawl space. The old insulation was hanging down, the dirt floor was exposed to pests coming in, and there were some moisture concerns. She was hoping for a permanent solution, and so reached out to our team at Erickson Foundation Solutions.
Our specialist designed and proposed a crawl space encapsulation system to help with all of her concerns.
Our crew was able to clean up and install the vapor barrier in two days, and the space went from dirty and unkept, to warm, dry, and tidy. The homeowner was very pleased with the results, and thrilled to have a usable, functional crawlspace in her home.
In Marlborough, NH, the homeowner faced a challenge with moisture in the basement, leading to fallen insulation and musty odors throughout the home. As shown in the before photo, the crawl space had insufficient insulation and moisture control. Our team resolved this issue by installing SilverGlo insulation for improved energy efficiency and a dry environment. CleanSpace encapsulation systems, along with TerraBlock and Drainage Matting, were used to control moisture effectively. The after photo illustrates a transformed crawl space, enhancing home health, reducing odors, and ensuring lasting peace of mind.

This homeowner in Hillsborough, New Hampshire, had lived in their home for the past 17 years. About a year ago the homeowners noticed an odor and moisture seeping into their home from the crawlspace. They called EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist met with the homeowner. Our Specialist recommended installing CleanSpace and a SaniDry Sedona in the crawlspace to address the moisture and odor concerns.
Our crew installed over 800 sqft of CleanSpace and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to gain control of the moisture and odor down in the crawlspace.
