Before & After Photos

This retaining wall in Gloucester was at risk of sinking and collapsing, due to the tides washing away its foundation soils underneath. We applied our PolyLEVEL product and filled in the voids with a highly effective, durable polymer foam. The wall is now no longer at risk of sinking, and the rising and sinking waters will be unable to erode the foam as it did the soils.

Before: The walkways around a Portsmouth hospital were riddled with trip hazards, posing a risk for patients and staff alike. After understanding the necessity for a safer environment, Erickson Foundation Solutions intervened. After: As you can see, using PolyLevel and NexusPro, we've seamlessly raised and sealed the concrete, eliminating tripping hazards while ensuring a durable, smooth surface. Gone are the days of unsafe walkways, now replaced with a reliably safe path delivering a sigh of relief alongside remarkable improvement.

When our team arrived in Portsmouth, NH, at a local laundromat, we were met with a notably uneven sidewalk—a concern for both safety and curb appeal, sagging by as much as 3 to 4 inches in places. As shown in the "before" photo, the challenge was significant. But with expertise and determination, we utilized PolyLevel and NexusPro treatments. The result, as highlighted in the "after" photo, speaks for itself: a precisely lifted slab and flawlessly sealed cracks ensure durability and dramatically enhance the entrance. Walking past or into the laundromat now not only feels secure but looks inviting, perfectly reflecting the robustness and meticulous finish our team strives to provide.

A homeowner in New London, New Hampshire had concerns with his damp and musty bedroom. He noticed this issue ever since he moved into the home three years ago. Unable to continue living in these circumstances, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions for a permanent fix. 

One of our Design Specialists, Josh Phillips, went to the house to conduct a free home inspection. While completing the inspection, Josh noticed that the existing encapsulation system in the crawl space was not keeping moisture out as it was intended. This was the source of why the homeowner's bedroom was damp and musty. Mold, wood rot, and other negative effects also resulted because of it. The wood rot has caused cracks in the wall and doors to not shut properly. Josh recommended installing our SuperSump sump pump, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The SuperSump sits in a basin in the crawl space and pumps out water that is surrounding the outside of the foundation. The CleanSpace vapor barrier properly encapsulates the crawl space to keep out moisture, which protects against mold, wood rot, and pests. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier further helps prevent against moisture, creating a dry space and delivering better air quality to the entire home.

The homeowner loved the final result. He will look to us when completing future home projects.

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!
