Before & After Photos

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.

When this Hudson, NH homeowner spotted water seeping through their foundation, we jumped into action. Notice in the photo, the visible cracking due to settlement, indicating more than a simple waterproofing fix was required. By employing our Push Pier system to correct the settlement and installing GeoLock Wall Anchors for stabilization, we restored the foundation's structural integrity, turning a worrisome scenario into a secure, solid future for their home. The transformation speaks volumes, just as you can see – a perfected fix for peace of mind.

A homeowner in Cranston, Rhode Island was concerned with their concrete patio cracking and settling, creating tripping hazards. Noticing that the problem was getting worse, they wanted to lift and stabilize the concrete before further damage occurred.

Our Design Specialist, Jim Meglio, went to the home to conduct a free home inspection. After completing the inspection, he recommended installing PolyLevel to lift and level the sunken concrete. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam used to fill voids between the soil and concrete. Our installation crew drilled tiny holes in the concrete in order to inject the foam. After lifting the concrete back to its original spot, NexusPro joint repair was used to seal the cracks. NexusPro stops water from making its way underneath the concrete, preventing shifting and cracking.

With the application of these products, the patio has become a safe and more visually appealing space.

A business in Londonderry, New Hampshire was growing and needed to install two loading docks onto their existing building. They needed to have the foundation checked before they could begin to install the loading docks. Our Design Specialist met with the building manager and inspected the building and discussed their plans. In order to properly support the weight of the docks and have a safe distribution of weight, we recommended installing Helical Piers beneath the footings. Our team also installed GeoLock wall anchors to ensure the foundation walls didn't buckle or lean during their project.

This crawl space was plagued by multiple issues that limited its usefulness and threatened the home's structural stability. A section of the block foundation wall had bowed inward approximately one inch, the existing lally columns had deteriorated from prolonged moisture exposure, and groundwater was contributing to high humidity levels throughout the space. The damp dirt floor created conditions favorable for mold growth, wood rot, and musty odors, making the crawl space unsuitable for storage.
Erickson Foundation Solutions transformed the crawl space into a dry, stable, and functional area. Six PowerBrace™ systems were installed to permanently stabilize the bowing foundation wall, while new reinforced concrete footings and SmartJack® supports replaced the failing lally columns. To control groundwater, our team installed a StarPipe™ drainage system and SmartDrain™, then encapsulated the space with drainage matting, TerraBlock™ insulation, and a CleanSpace® vapor barrier. A SaniDry XP® dehumidifier completed the system, helping maintain optimal humidity levels and creating a healthier environment suitable for long-term storage.
