Erickson Foundation Solutions is a Hudson, New Hampshire foundation-repair and basement company that homeowners call for waterproofing systems, sump pumps, foundation and beam support, crawl space work, concrete lifting and radon mitigation. By its own account it is family operated under owner Matt Erickson, now joined by his three sons, and traces its roots to the parent company Erickson Construction Co., founded in 1979. It works across southern New Hampshire and into eastern Massachusetts, including the North Shore.
The people who hired them most often describe the crews by name and praise the same things: arriving on time, explaining the work before starting, and leaving basements clean. Recent Google reviews cover pool-deck leveling and crack repair, a three-day foundation project, a window well and underground downspout finished on a tight deadline after the office rearranged its schedule, and a garage trench drain that settled and was repaired under warranty. A large share of recent praise is for annual service visits on sump, dehumidifier and radon systems, with technician Alberto named again and again for thorough, clearly explained maintenance. Longer-running customers describe systems that have kept previously flooding basements dry, and in a 2022 review a homeowner described a full replacement of a 100-year-old foundation as the best contractor experience they had had. On Reddit, commenters recommending them in Lynn, Medford and New Hampshire threads reported good experiences with radon and basement concrete work, and one described a crew working in phases over several years to keep the cost manageable.
Price and process are where complaints concentrate. A Reddit commenter reported a $40,000 quote for an interior French drain and sump pump in an 850-square-foot basement, another said the same solution was offered by a competitor for $16,000, and a third warned that Erickson's proposal would have filled in a working gravity drain. Several recent Google reviews describe a stairway that would have to be cut out and left for the homeowner to rebuild, raised in one case only on the day work began on a $30,000 job. A detailed March 2026 review describes a slow six-week proposal, a waterproofing system that had to be torn out and redone under warranty, and a disorganized office, while a 2025 review notes the company pressing for a same-day signature with a discount. A 2023 review described a $150 estimate fee with no sense of scheduling until after it was paid, and another from 2023 reported paying well above competing quotes for work another firm had to fix.
The company is listed by the Better Business Bureau as accredited since 2015 with an A+ grade, and holds 4.8 stars from 756 Google ratings, 4.8 on Best Pick Reports, 4.7 on Porch and 4.5 on HomeAdvisor.
