Foundation Problems Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Epsom, New Hampshire had a crack in their foundation. EFS came out to the home and inspected the crack and recommended using Push Piers to stabilize the foundation. The EFS crew arrived at the home and installed Push Piers on the foundation of the home. 

This foundation wall on a home in Auburn, NH had a large crack near the inside corner. Over the years, pressure from the soils on the exterior pushed against the wall, eventually cracking it and causing it to lean visibly inwards towards the basement. Our team designed and installed a wall stabilization solution using PowerBrace brackets. These steel, wall stabilization supports are a permanent solution that will prevent the bowing wall from leaning in any further. They are anchored to the concrete floor below, as well as to the floor beams and joists above. Rather than waiting for the problem to get worse, these homeowners took action and now have peace of mind that their foundation wall is not going to bow or collapse. 

In Providence, RI, a concerned homeowner sought our expertise after a carpenter noticed unstable makeshift supports in their crawl space, risking the structure above. In the before photo, it's evident that the temporary solutions weren't effectively supporting the floors. We addressed this by installing our SmartJack® System, visible in the after photo. This system created a stabilized environment since SmartJack stabilizes crawl space beams and floor joists by distributing the home’s weight using galvanized steel columns. Our reliable solution ensures enhanced structural integrity and stability for the home.

This retaining wall in Chelmsford, MA was leaning on two sides. Erickson Foundation Supportworks repaired the wall with GeoLock wall anchors.

Before tackling this nosedive in structural integrity, our client in Pittsfield, MA, noticed the unsettling creaks and worrisome sag in their bedroom floor, fearing it might someday succumb to the unseen pressures below. The culprit? A glance at the before photo reveals the harrowing sight of rot-weakened wooden supplements, barely holding on. But, as showcased in the aftermath, our methodical approach brought peace of mind home—using powerful SmartJacks and sturdy supplemental beams, we not only fortified the foundation but restored trust in the solidity beneath their feet.
