Before & After Photos

Before tackling this Gloucester, MA home, the homeowner battled a cold and wet crawl space, visible in the first photo. Not only was this an uncomfortable issue but one that couldn't be ignored for the health of their home. Our team stepped in with a transformative solution, installing SilverGlow for state-of-the-art insulation and CleanSpace to seal and protect. As evident in the after photo, the crawl space is now a dry, insulated area, showcasing our dedication to delivering not just any solution, but one that's long-lasting and truly effective. Our mission was to provide this homeowner with a remarkable experience and as you can see, we delivered on that promise, converting a problematic crawl space into a clean, safe, and energy-efficient space.

Despite having a vapor barrier previously installed, this Gloucester, MA home's crawl space was plagued by persistent moisture, raising concerns about mold growth and musty odors. Notice in the before photo how damp the space was, indicative of the underlying issue. To address this, we installed our CleanSpace® Drainage Matting, an efficient solution that allows water to properly channel to the perimeter drainage or sump pump, enhancing crawl space durability. Our encapsulation system eliminated water seepage and provided a clean, dry environment, safeguarding the home’s foundation from future moisture problems.

This homeowner in Rockport, Massachusetts wanted to solve a humidity issue in their basement. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection.

The design Specialist recommended installing CleanSpace into the basement paired with a Sani Dry. The CleanSpace will keep moisture from getting into the basement and the Sani Dry will eliminate moisture inside the basement.

Crew Lead Gilberto Cortijo and his crew arrived at the home and installed CleanSpace in the basement.

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!
