Before tackling this Gloucester, MA home, the homeowner battled a cold and wet crawl space, visible in the first photo. Not only was this an uncomfortable issue but one that couldn't be ignored for the health of their home. Our team stepped in with a transformative solution, installing SilverGlow for state-of-the-art insulation and CleanSpace to seal and protect. As evident in the after photo, the crawl space is now a dry, insulated area, showcasing our dedication to delivering not just any solution, but one that's long-lasting and truly effective. Our mission was to provide this homeowner with a remarkable experience and as you can see, we delivered on that promise, converting a problematic crawl space into a clean, safe, and energy-efficient space.
Despite having a vapor barrier previously installed, this Gloucester, MA home's crawl space was plagued by persistent moisture, raising concerns about mold growth and musty odors. Notice in the before photo how damp the space was, indicative of the underlying issue. To address this, we installed our CleanSpace® Drainage Matting, an efficient solution that allows water to properly channel to the perimeter drainage or sump pump, enhancing crawl space durability. Our encapsulation system eliminated water seepage and provided a clean, dry environment, safeguarding the home’s foundation from future moisture problems.
This homeowner in Rockport, Massachusetts wanted to solve a humidity issue in their basement. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection.
The design Specialist recommended installing CleanSpace into the basement paired with a Sani Dry. The CleanSpace will keep moisture from getting into the basement and the Sani Dry will eliminate moisture inside the basement.
Crew Lead Gilberto Cortijo and his crew arrived at the home and installed CleanSpace in the basement.
Before our intervention in Sullivan, NH, this homeowner faced a failing cinderblock foundation wall bowing five inches inward, with prominent horizontal and stair-step cracks. These issues compromised structural integrity and threatened further damage. As shown in the images, we swiftly addressed this challenge. Using the GeoLock Wall Anchor System®, we effectively stabilized the wall. Our solution not only prevented future inward movement but also straightened the wall. This quick installation not only restored the property's value but reassured the homeowner with renewed peace of mind.
A homeowner in New London, New Hampshire had concerns with his damp and musty bedroom. He noticed this issue ever since he moved into the home three years ago. Unable to continue living in these circumstances, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions for a permanent fix.
One of our Design Specialists, Josh Phillips, went to the house to conduct a free home inspection. While completing the inspection, Josh noticed that the existing encapsulation system in the crawl space was not keeping moisture out as it was intended. This was the source of why the homeowner's bedroom was damp and musty. Mold, wood rot, and other negative effects also resulted because of it. The wood rot has caused cracks in the wall and doors to not shut properly. Josh recommended installing our SuperSump sump pump, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The SuperSump sits in a basin in the crawl space and pumps out water that is surrounding the outside of the foundation. The CleanSpace vapor barrier properly encapsulates the crawl space to keep out moisture, which protects against mold, wood rot, and pests. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier further helps prevent against moisture, creating a dry space and delivering better air quality to the entire home.
The homeowner loved the final result. He will look to us when completing future home projects.
