Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Georgetown, Massachusetts planned on making a playroom for their children in the basement. After getting the permitting to build, they learned that an egress window needed to be installed for the basement to be up to code. Looking for a company that could provide quality work at a reasonable price, they reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our Design Specialist, John Prince, recommended installing an egress window with a RockWell window well and cover. The egress window, paired with the well and cover, is designed to allow more natural light into the living space, while also providing a safe exit in the event of an emergency. The RockWell well system has built in steps and a strong, durable lid that prevents children, pets, and everything else from falling in.

With these systems installed, the homeowners can build their playroom knowing it will be a bright and safe space!

This early 1900's home in Amesbury, MA had three egress windows along one side of the house. During heavy rains, the shallow, old window wells would collect the water, eventually leading to leaking through the windows down into the basement. The owners reached out to our Erickson team to replace the window wells with an upgraded system, as well as install covers to help prevent rain from directly falling into the well space.

Our production specialists installed all three window well replacements and covers in a single day, and patched the owners asphalt driveway surrounding the wells. They took care to cleanly cutaway the existing asphalt material so that later their patching around the well would be clean and easy. Not only will the upgraded egress window system help keep water from leaking into the basement, but they look great from the outside of the home as well. 

When the Stratham, NH homeowner noticed their broken sump pump system causing puddles on their basement floor, it was clear we needed to step in. As you can see in the before photo, the condition was not just unsightly but also damaging to the home's foundation. We replaced this faulty system with our robust TripleSafe Sump Pump, coupled with IceGuard and WaterGuard for optimal water management. The after photo showcases a dry, clean basement. We turned an unmistakable problem into a peace-of-mind solution, ensuring a lasting fix for our customer’s home.

A homeowner was in search of a way to waterproof the basement so it could be turned into a 1/2 bedroom and 1/2 storage space. Without a waterproofing system in place, water would leak through cracks in the slab and puddle around the foundation. This homeowner reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions to eliminate water from the basement permanently.

After completing a free inspection, our Design Specialist recommended installing our SuperSump sump pump, NexusPro joint repair, and our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This system stops water from being able to enter the basement and safely removes it away from the home. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant that seals joints and cracks in your concrete slab and helps prevent the water from softening and/or eroding the soil underneath. The SuperSump sits at the lowest point of the basement cemented in a basin and pumps water out of the home through an exterior drainage line. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier removes moisture and other toxins in the air and creates a dry and comfortable climate. This is a great product for those planning on living in the basement.

With all of the systems in place, this homeowner can confidently execute the plans made for the basement knowing that it will be safe and dry.

A homeowner in Ipswich, Massachusetts, has lived in the home for almost 10 years. Recently they found that water was entering the basement from the front foundation wall. They called EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowner and recommended installing a full perimeter drainage system. This system will include WaterGuard, a TripleSafe sump pump, CleanSpace Wall System, IceGuard, and an Exterior Drainage Line.
