A homeowner in Littleton, Massachusetts moved into their new home in 2017. After a couple of years of living in the home, they noticed a crack in their basement that was allowing water in. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our design specialist recommended installing FlexiSpan onto the crack. 

Our production team covered the crack with a membrane to collect the water coming from the crack. 

A new homeowner in Littleton, Massachusetts, moved into their home a couple of months ago and wanted to have their support posts replaced. The production team installed 8 SmartJacks with 22 feet of Supplemental Beam. 

This homeowner in Manchester, New Hampshire was experiencing several of the lally columns in the basement were starting to deteriorate. The homeowner decided it was time to call Erickson Foundation Solutions for a free inspection. 

Senior Design Specialist Michael LaMalfa arrived at the home and inspected the old lally columns. Michael confirmed that the lally columns are deteriorating. He recommended that the homeowners replace them with new lally columns. 

Crew Lead Spencer Ladd and his team arrived a the home and set up temporary supports so they could remove the old lally columns. After the old lally columns were removed, they began installing the new lally columns. 

This home in Manchester, NH was dealing with very wet soil on the property due to a wet, rainy year. The saturated soils on the exterior of the foundation walls were pushing against the concrete and causing it to crack and bow into the basement. The project included rebuilding a section of wall, installing a waterproofing sump pump system, and reinforcing a section of foundation wall with PowerBrace wall anchors. 

This before and after features a view of the wall anchors installed in one section of the basement. The wall cracks are visible, and were caused by soils pushing against it with incredible force. With the PowerBrace supports in place, the concrete wall is permanently stabilized and will not bow in any further. The water is now also diverted to a sump pump system, which will help relieve the pressure in the soil.
