Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

We recently addressed a significant structural issue for a homeowner in Hooksett, NH, where wooden support posts failed, causing their floor to slope noticeably toward the middle. As shown in the "before" photo, the inadequate support jeopardized the integrity and safety of the home. Our expert team installed the SmartJack® System, providing a secure and stable solution. The "after" photo reveals how the galvanized steel columns, placed strategically on a strong base, lifted and stabilized the floor efficiently. This installation restored the home’s safety and structural integrity.

This home built in the 1920's was dealing with sagging beams and floor joists, which ultimately led to cracking plaster in the home above. The old columns and posts in the basement were replaced with SmartJacks, which were then raised to stabilize the floor system above.

A homeowner in Maynard, Massachusetts wanted to replace the temporary posts in their basement. They decided to call Erickson Foundation Solutions about a free inspection.

A homeowner in Maynard, Massachusetts, had sloping and separating floors on their main level. Our production team installed 6 3' SmartJacks with 17 feet of supplemental beam. The supports and the beam will help lift and aid the main floor.

A homeowner in Maynard, Massachusetts experienced sloping floors in their home. Concerned with the long-term stability of the floors, they reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our System Design Specialist, Tom Armano, recommended installing SmartJacks in the basement to stabilize the floor and support the home. Our installation crew chipped out concrete in the foundation floor to allow space for the galvanized steel plates to be installed. The posts were then attached to the steel plates and set up along the support beam. The SmartJack's design allows for superior support compared to Lally columns, especially the temporary ones that were previously installed in the basement. Once installed, the SmartJacks were cemented in place.

The SmartJacks were raised to eliminate sloping floors. The homeowner now has peace of mind that their floors are stable, and their home is supported.
