A homeowner in Goffstown, NH had concerns with water flooding his crawl space. Although the owner had the personal belongings on wooden crates, over 3 inches of water filled the crawl space and damaged them. Looking to keep the crawl space dry all the time, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.
Our Design Specialist, Josh Phillips, recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage and SmartSump sump pump to waterproof the crawl space. WaterGuard captures water along the border of the crawl space where the walls and floor meet and deliver water to the sump pump. The sump pump removes water out of the home through an exterior discharge line.
This waterproofing system keeps the crawl space dry all the time, ensuring the safety of the homeowner's storage space.

This homeowner in Groton, Massachusetts recently got their oil tank installed in the basement. When the tank was being installed the homeowner noticed that the rock wall near the oil tank was crumbling and chunks appeared to be falling off the wall. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection.
Design Specialist Kenny Calabrese inspected the basement and the rock wall foundation. Kenny confirmed that the wall is crumbling and recommended a solution. Kenny had noticed some of the support posts in the basement seemed weak. Kenny's recommended solution is to install an Auxiliary wall to the section of the wall that is crumbling and to replace some of the supports in the basement with SmartJacks.

This homeowner in Groton, Massachusetts had purchased their home 2 years ago as a fixer-upper with foundation issues.

The design specialist recommended a masonry wall rebuild
The EFS team first supported the home using temporary posts. They then chipped away the old foundation wall down to the footing. Next, they poured a new footing. Once the footing was set they started building the masonry wall.
