Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Center Barnstead, New Hampshire, had seen a crack start to form in their garage around 5 years ago. They have seen the crack get larger and decided they wanted to have it sealed. They called EFS and we found that the crack was caused by the concrete slab settling. We then recommended installing 3 Helical Piers under the right side of the garage, then using PolyLevel to lift and level the slab, and finally sealing the crack using NexusPro. 

A homeowner in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, purchased their home 10+ years ago. They have put the home on the market and a prospective buyer had backed out due to some foundation concerns. On the back of the garage, the foundation has some cracking that has raised concerns for interested buyers. The seller decided they would like to have the problem repaired so the sale would go smoother. 

The homeowners called EFS for a free inspection of their foundation and our Design Specialist met with the homeowner and recommended installing Geolocks to the foundation.

A homeowner in Methuen, Massachusetts had removed the drywall in their basement due to water seepage, only to discover that there were massive cracks in their foundation wall. They reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions to stabilize the wall and protect the property value.

Our Design Specialist, Tom Armano, recommended installing GeoLocks to prevent the foundation wall from further bowing inward. The GeoLocks are put in place by installing steel plates to the wall, and anchoring them in to strong, durable soil outside of the home. This prevents the wall from leaning and can even straighten it.

With the GeoLocks installed, the wall is stabilized, and the home is properly supported. The homeowner now has peace of mind in having a safe basement.

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 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.
