A homeowner is selling their home in the near future and wants to make sure the selling process goes smoothly. Structural issues were a big concern. Looking to strengthen the foundation, this homeowner reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions. Design Specialist, Mark Proctor, noticed severe foundation problems upon giving a free home inspection. Cobblestone walls had settled, resulting in brick walls bowing outward and even partially collapsing. With such drastic basement damage, Mark recommended reconstructing the foundation walls and pouring a new concrete slab. Our installation crew demoed the entire front wall section, carefully disassembling the corner that was held together by only foam. Reconstructing the foundation was a challenge with rain hitting the exposed cobblestone, but with the crew's care and attention to detail, they were able to overcome it. With a new foundation, the home is now properly supported. This homeowner now has peace of mind during the home selling process, and while he continues to live in the home.

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire had a crack running along their foundation wall. Typically, a crack like this can worsen over time if left untreated. Eventually, this could cause the basement wall to lean and bow, and even potentially collapse. Concerned about the safety of her home, this homeowner reached out to us for a permanent solution. Our Design Specialist recommended installing PowerBrace, a foundation wall repair system. This system supports and stabilizes bowing and leaning walls, and can even straighten them. Additionally, FlexiSpan, a polyurethane sealant, was installed to seal the crack. This material adjusts to movements in the basement wall and prevents water from making its way through the crack. With this system in place, the home is now properly supported, and the wall has been stabilized. This homeowner now has peace of mind that her forever home is safe.

A homeowner in Hudson, New Hampshire experienced their fieldstone foundation walls deteriorating. With the wall bowing inwards, concerns arose regarding basement wall support. They reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions in order to stabilize their foundation wall. Our Design Specialist, Debra Rayborn, recommended installing an auxiliary wall to stabilize the fieldstone foundation. Our installation crew installed SmartJacks around the failing wall to ensure that the floor above was receiving the proper support. With the SmartJacks in place, the mold for the concrete auxiliary wall was set up. The SmartJacks were cemented into the auxiliary wall for maximum support. With the SmartJacks and auxiliary wall installed, the basement walls are stabilized, and the rest of the home is supported.
