Foundation Problems Before & After Photos

Greg B. of Marlboro, Massachusetts was experiencing settling on the backside of their house. Behind the home is a retaining wall that is holding the soil that is holding the home in place. Greg thinks the settling in the backyard is causing cracking in his garage. He called Erickson Foundation Solutions to see if they could send someone out to inspect his home. 

Design Specialist John Prince came to Greg's home and inspected the garage and the backyard. He confirmed Greg's suspicions of settlement in the backyard. John proposed to stop the settlement they install Push Piers in the back of the home and then after those are installed they seal the cracks, PolyLEVEL, and Resurface the whole garage. 

Crew Lead Chris Hanlek and his team came to the home and installed the PolyLEVEL, Crack Seal, and Resurface. 

This homeowner in Milford, New Hampshire noticed one day that there was a crack in the foundation of their garage. Soon after they noticed that first crack a second crack started to form. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Michael LaMalfa inspected the foundation of the garage. Michael found that the foundation wall of the garage was beginning to bow and that is causing the foundation to start to crack. After Michael's inspection, he recommended installing Geolocks into the garage. 

Crew Lead Spencer Ladd and his team installed 5 Geolocks into the garage. Three Geolocks are installed on the back wall of the garage and two Geolocks are installed on the left side of the garage. 

A homeowner in Milford, New Hampshire, had a detached barn on their property. The homeowner was concerned with the floors bowing in the barn. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection. Our design specialist recommended installing SmartJacks, WaterGuard, and a TripleSafe into the crawlspace to stabilize the floors and prevent water from collecting inside the crawlspace.

A homeowner in Milford, New Hampshire lives in an older home and they were concerned with the floor system. They called EFS for a free inspection of their floor system and our Design Specialist recommended installing SmartJacks into the basement to add support to the floor system. 

This homeowner in Milford, NH was concerned with a crack they discovered in their basement foundation wall beneath a cast iron drainage pipe. The crack had been there for several years, however over the past year had started leaking small amounts of water. Not wanting the problem to get worse, they reached out to our Erickson team for a solution. 

Our design specialist, Anthony, was able to determine there was no movement or deflection in the concrete wall itself. The amount of water coming in through the crack also did not warrant a perimeter waterproofing system. The best solution was for this type of crack was Flexispan crack seal. The homeowner was pleased with the proposal and explanation from Anthony, and hired our Erickson team for the repairs. Our service technician, Branden Edwards, completed the Flexispan installation in half a day, and also recommended a SaniDry dehumidifier for the basement since the humidity rating was above 70%.

After a clear design and installation process, and the crack being properly sealed, the homeowner was very pleased with the results.
