Tasked with addressing decaying wood support columns in a Lowell, MA home, our Erickson Foundation Solutions team was on it. In the before photo, notice the damaged wood clearly giving way - a problem many homeowners face but often overlook.

Ensuring every home stands strong on a foundation you can trust, one remarkable repair at a time.
A homeowner in Lowell, Massachusetts, had wooden supports in their basement that need to be replaced. Our production team installed lally columns to replace old wooden supports in the basement.
This homeowner in Lowell, MA had old and outdated Lally columns that started to bend and crack as the foundation continued to settle. As a result, the home was no longer receiving the support and structure that it needed. This led to sagging and uneven floors.
Upon reaching out to our Erickson Foundation Solution's team, our Design Specialist recommended replacing these declining Lally columns with our more durable and stable columns. This was a quick and easy fix, although the work that was done provides permanent support to the entire home. These new Lally columns were attached to the basement support beams and then cemented into the foundation for even more support.
With these changes made, the bouncy and saggy floors are now sturdy and solid. The homeowner now has peace of mind that his home is supported, and no longer needs to worry about worsening problems that result in significantly higher costs to fix.
This home in Lowell, MA was continuously getting a wet basement. Water was leaking in through the basement walls. Although there was a sump pump in place, the system wasn't properly catching all the water, nor was it homeowner friendly. An exposed pit with a pump is not an efficient system. Erickson Foundation Supportworks upgraded sump pump system, combined with a battery backup, is the complete, reliable system this homeowner deserved.
A homeowner in Lowell, Massachusetts, had the concrete slabs on their front walkway start to sink. One slab had sunk so much that the homeowners had placed concrete pavers over the slab to reduce the tripping hazard. EFS recommended installing PolyLevel on the front patio.
