Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Malden, Massachusetts is looking to remodel their home. Before making that investment, they want to make sure that the foundation is providing enough support to the home so that floors will be level. Our Erickson Foundation Solutions team looked forward to providing a permanent solution to stabilize and support the home.

After completing a free home inspection, our Design Specialist recommended installing SmartJacks in the basement. These SmartJacks would replace old and decaying Lally columns that could no longer provide the support to the structure that was needed. Our SmartJacks are posts that provide permanent support to the home. They are made of galvanized steel which prevents corrosion and can support 60,000lbs.

The SmartJacks were cemented into the foundation on a sturdy base and attached to a supplemental support beam. With these durable posts in place, the home is now properly supported. This homeowner can now remodel their home with confidence that floors are level and will remain level.

Before venturing into this Malden, MA crawl space, the chilly drafts wafting through the floorboards were all too common for the homeowner. As you can see in the before photo, the exposed, uninsulated space right under a newly-built deck called for attention. Our solution? Just look at the after photo – we wrapped the area in CleanSpace and insulated it with SilverGlow, transforming a drafty underdeck into a cozy, energy-efficient crawl space. Now, the home not only feels warmer but is also protected against the elements - a clear win for comfort and efficiency.

Before, this Malden, MA homeowner faced the challenge of cold floors and potential health hazards due to a damp crawl space—an issue that might seem daunting at first glance. Our solution? A thorough installation of advanced SilverGlow insulation and the CleanSpace system, tailored to rejuvenate and protect the home’s infrastructure. As you can see in the after photo, the crawl space now boasts a clean, controlled, and efficient environment, ensuring warm floors above and a healthier home environment. Witnessing such transformations, where discomfort and concern turn into satisfaction and security, underscores our mission to not only solve foundational issues but also to leave our customers with the peace of mind knowing their home is in careful, capable hands—today, tomorrow, and for the long haul.
