Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Faced with the challenge of ensuring their basement remained structurally sound for years to come, a family in Nashua, NH contacted us for help. As you can see in the before photo, old lally columns were failing to provide the necessary support, a common headache for homeowners looking to finish their basements. Enter our solution: SmartJack. Notice in the after photo how the space is transformed into a solid foundation, ready for any renovation plans. With SmartJack, we ensured the homeowners can forge ahead without a worry about their future structural integrity.

In this foundation repair project in Nashua, NH, the homeowner turned to us due to significant horizontal cracks and an outward-bowing foundation wall, noticed in the before photo. To address this problem, we removed concrete from the garage floor, excavated beneath, and installed the GeoLock Wall Anchors. This system uses heavy-duty steel anchors embedded in stable soil, connected to wall plates, securing the foundation wall and preventing further movement. As evidenced in the after photo, this provides a permanent, stable solution that restores value and peace of mind.

In this crawl space transformation in Nashua, NH, the homeowner faced concerns about the structural integrity of their home, with sagging floors and insufficient temporary supports, as seen in the before photo. We addressed these critical issues by installing the SmartJack® System to stabilize the crawl space beams and floor joists, lifting them towards their original position. To further enhance protection, we encapsulated the previously damp area with our CleanSpace® liner. This solution provides a clean, dry, and resilient foundation, consequently safeguarding the home against moisture and structural damage.

In Nashua, NH, a homeowner faced a common issue: a sunken corner of their pool deck due to soil washout beneath the concrete slabs. As seen in the 'before' photo, this not only compromised the aesthetics but also posed safety hazards. Erickson Foundation Solutions addressed the problem using the PolyLevel® system. Our experts injected high-strength polyurethane foam to lift and stabilize the sunken concrete. Additionally, NexusPro® Joint Sealant was applied to the concrete, sealing out water to prevent future erosion—even during severe weather conditions, as highlighted in the 'after' photo.

This home was built on an old fill site, and one day began settling at a rapid rate. In total, the home sank 9 inches. We used push piers to stabilize the home and keep it from sinking any further. We were even able to lift the entire foundation and home up almost back to level, without doing any damage to the structure. In these before and after photos, notice how the lally columns are completely detached from the supporting beams in the basement. We lifted the foundation walls on the perimeter, but the slab in the basement itself was still sunken and crumbling. These columns were replaced with Smartjacks.

The home owners who were once distraught and worried about losing their home are now thrilled and happy to have a stabilized home.
