Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Cambridge, Massachusetts, recently had their daughter move back into their home. When she moved back in she was putting some things in the basement and noticed some deterioration of the brick and mortar in the basement. She pointed it out to her parents and they decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist recommended installing SmartJacks with a Supplemental beam to add support to the floor system of the home. 

Moving into a new home in Cambridge, MA, a homeowner was greeted with the unwelcome surprise of sunken floors. Thankfully, we were able to step in and provide a solution. Initially called in for SmartJacks to level the floors, we noticed the challenge didn't stop there. The high water table was seeping through, threatening the home's foundation. As you can see in the before photo, the condition was worrying. However, our solution, installing a WaterGuard perimeter and a TripleSafe Sump Pump, signified a transformation. Notice in the after photo, the once damp, unsure basement is now safely fortified against water's intrusion, ensuring a dry, stable foundation for years. Our aim was not just to address the immediate concern but to safeguard the home's future, offering peace of mind and a sound structure.

The previous homeowners noted during the purchasing process that the basement had flooded in the past. The new homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist inspected the basement and recommended installing a full perimeter drainage system. The perimeter drainage system included WaterGuard, TrenchDrain, TripleSafe, and IceGuard. 

In Somerville, MA, a homeowner faced concerns about sagging floors due to failing lally columns in the basement. This was more than just an annoyance – it was a symptom of underlying support issues.

As evident in the after image, SmartJacks® provide robust, adjustable support to stabilize the floor joists and restore alignment.
