Foundation Problems Before & After Photos

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.

This homeowner in Westford, Massachusetts had an issue where the retaining wall in their garage was leaking. The homeowners called Erickson Foundations Supportworks for options on fixing the leak. Design Specialist Michael Biedrzycki came to the home and talked to the homeowners about their options. Scott Crandall and his team were able to permanently seal the crack where the water was coming into the garage. 

A homeowner in Westford, Massachusetts, had been living in their home for the past 30 years. Since they moved in the foundation has had a small horizontal crack along the front-facing wall. Over the past 3 years, the crack had gotten worse and that wall had started to bow inward. Our design specialist recommended installing PowerBraces along the front-facing foundation wall. Our production team installed 7 PowerBraces to the foundation wall.

This homeowner in Westford, Massachusetts had a cracked concrete pier under a support post. This post supports the addition of the home and the homeowner would like this fixed ASAP. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Justin Wenners found that the pier had a considerable chunk taken off of the top.

Crew Lead Chris Tremblay and his team removed the old concrete pier and installed the new EZ post where the old pier was. 

A homeowner in Pembroke, New Hampshire, had an old farmhouse that had sagging floors. The EFS team installed 10 SmartJacks into the basement of the farmhouse.
