Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Concord, New Hampshire, had their stone and brick foundaiton wall bowing outward. The homeowner reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their foundation to find a solution for their home. Our Design Specialist inspected the home and recommended installing an Auxiliary Wall against the foundation where the wall was bowing outward. Our crew arrived at the home and installed an Auxiliary wall over the bowing section of the foundation. 

A business in Londonderry, New Hampshire was growing and needed to install two loading docks onto their existing building. They needed to have the foundation checked before they could begin to install the loading docks. Our Design Specialist met with the building manager and inspected the building and discussed their plans. In order to properly support the weight of the docks and have a safe distribution of weight, we recommended installing Helical Piers beneath the footings. Our team also installed GeoLock wall anchors to ensure the foundation walls didn't buckle or lean during their project.

A homeowner from Belmont, Massachusetts has a finished basement that kept leaking. This has caused mold and other undesirable affects. The homeowner wants to create a livable space for family members to use. In order to achieve this, she reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

One of our Design Specialists, Scott Ruisi, came out to the home to complete a free home inspection. Within 90 minutes, Scott diagnosed the issues with the basement and proposed solutions that met the homeowner's expectations. He ultimately recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage, TrenchDrain surface drainage, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This waterproofing system collects water at the perimeter of the foundation before entering the basement, filtering it to the sump pump, and then expelling it from the home through a drainage line. The dehumidifier removes moisture from the air, thus eliminating mold spores and other toxins, which creates better air quality. Our installation crew chipped out the perimeter of the basement floor and wall to make space for the WaterGuard system. Once space was made, WaterGuard was laid in place on top of crushed stone. TrenchDrain is used in areas where WaterGuard in inaccessible.  These two systems connect to each other, forming a path that allows water to flow to the sump pump. A basin was created for the sump pump to sit in and collect the water. Once the drainage system was connected to the sump pump, everything was cemented in place. The exterior drainage line was then added to the sump pump.

Our installation crew made sure to keep the space neat and tidy. Once the job was complete, they gave the homeowner a walkthrough of their new waterproofing system. They were thrilled with the result.

A home in Wilmington, Massachusetts, had an issue with the foundation sinking. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their foundation. Our Design Specialist Mark Proctor met with the homeowner and inspected all of their concerns. After the inspection, Mark recommended installing Helical Piers around the settling portion of the foundation. We installed a total of 8 Helical Piers around the sinking corner of the foundation. 

A homeowner in Medford, Massachusetts noticed their foundation wall was severely bowing inwards with multiple cracks after removing drywall. This raised big concern that the wall would collapse. In search of safety and peace of mind, they reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our Design Specialist, Kenneth Calabrese, recommended installing an auxiliary foundation wall to stabilize the foundation. Our installation crew started the job by demoing the necessary area of drywall in order to access the foundation wall. PowerBraces were then installed, which consist of steel I-beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. A SmartJack was also installed to support the floor joist system. Concrete was then poured to create the auxiliary wall. 

After the concrete dried, the crew looked over the work, cleaned up the space, and performed a final walkthrough with the homeowner. The wall is now stabilized and can be added on in the future if the homeowner so chooses to finish the basement.
