Before & After Photos

The Gloucester, MA homeowner faced sagging floors due to failing wooden supports, as seen in the before photo. They contacted us at Erickson Foundation Solutions to assess the escalating issue. After thorough inspection, we implemented a comprehensive remedy. Our team installed SmartJack® systems, lifting and stabilizing the existing floors. To safeguard against moisture and enhance energy efficiency, SilverGlo™ was layered alongside effective CleanSpace® vapor barrier systems coupled with Drainage Matting, enduring the structural integrity and insulating the space efficiently. The after photo reflects a secure, stable crawl space restored to optimal condition.

Notice in the before photo, it's hard to see, but a homeowner in Rockport, MA, was dealing with a leaning chimney, a subtle issue that posed a serious risk. After bringing us on board, as you can see in the after photo, we installed a Helical Pier, providing a firm, stable foundation that corrected the lean. With our foundational solutions, homeowners can rest easy knowing their house stands safe and corrected, showcasing our commitment to reliable and lasting repairs.

A homeowner in Plymouth, Massachusetts, had concerns with their pool deck. They were concerned about the concrete around the pool was sinking, cracking, and becoming less aesthetically pleasing. The homeowner wanted to lift, level, and seal the concrete to make the pool area look the best it can. Our team installed PolyLevel under each slab and NexusPro in all of the control joints. 

A homeowner from Concord, New Hampshire had an extremely wet basement. Even with a sump pump already installed, water still made its way through the foundation. The homeowner is sick of dealing with the seepage and doesn't want the next owner of the home to have the same experience. She reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions looking for a permanent solution for her leaky basement.

One of our Design Specialists, Anthony Brancato, went to the house to provide a free home inspection. After taking a thorough look at the basement, Anthony recommended installing our WaterGuard perimeter drainage system to the already existing sump pump. Although the sump pump works properly, it is unable to waterproof the basement on its own due to the amount of water in the soil surrounding the foundation. The WaterGuard perimeter drainage system actually allows the water to flow right into the system, and directs it right to the sump pump. By letting the water flow right into the perimeter drainage system, water doesn't build up on the outside of the foundation, which is what causes the leaks. 

With the system in place, a waterproofed basement has been created. The homeowner can now have peace of mind while she lives in the home and goes through the home selling process.

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire has lived in his home for over 40 years. Several years ago, he noticed that his basement would leak. In order to fix this, he had a sump pump installed. This pump isn't working as it was intended to, resulting in the basement flooding. Looking for a permanent solution keep his basement dry; he reached out to our Erickson team.

Our Design Specialist, John Prince, recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage, SuperSump sump pump, and FlexiSpan crack sealant. Our crew started installing this waterproofing system by chipping our concrete along the border of the basement floor to make space for the WaterGuard drainage. This system captures water at the perimeter of the basement before being exposed to the walls or floor. The water collected then flows to our SuperSump sump pump. A new basin was created for the sump pump to sit in since the previous basin was not in the ideal spot. A feed line was installed connecting the old basin to the new basin in order to allow the new sump system to pump out the unwanted water. Once these systems were installed, they were cemented in place. An exterior discharge line was then installed to the sump pump to direct water safely out of the home. IceGuard was installed to the discharge line to prevent the pipe from freezing, which prevents sump pumps from backing up and flooding. Lastly, FlexiSpan crack sealant was used to seal a large crack in the basement wall. This sealant stops water from making its way through the crack, and is able to adjust to settlement, making it a long-lasting solution.

With the job now complete, crew lead Ryan Champagne went over a final walkthrough with the homeowner. He was thrilled that he would never have to deal with the annoying cleanup process again!
