Foundation Problems Before & After Photos

These homeowners in Mirror Lake, New Hampshire recently purchased their forever home. Before further investing in other home projects, they wanted to make sure the foundation was secure and safe. This led them to reach out to our Erickson Foundations Team to schedule a free inspection.

Justin Broussard carefully inspected the basement and then consulted with the homeowners. He noticed that one of their foundation walls was bowing extremely inward and was at risk of even potentially collapsing in. For a home that was built in the 1700's, it was crucial that this home got the support it needed. Justin recommended installing our PowerBrace auxiliary foundation wall. This wall stabilizes the fieldstone foundation. The homeowners recognized the importance of the situation and scheduled an installation date.

Once our installation crew had the auxiliary wall in place and completed the job, they had a walkthrough with the homeowners to go over the work that was done. The homeowners were very happy with the job knowing that their forever home is now supported by a strong foundation.

A homeowner in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, purchased their home 10+ years ago. They have put the home on the market and a prospective buyer had backed out due to some foundation concerns. On the back of the garage, the foundation has some cracking that has raised concerns for interested buyers. The seller decided they would like to have the problem repaired so the sale would go smoother. 

The homeowners called EFS for a free inspection of their foundation and our Design Specialist met with the homeowner and recommended installing Geolocks to the foundation.

A homeowner in Worcester, Massachusetts, has lived in their early 1900s home for 10 years. They were planning on selling the home in the next few years so they were tackling projects to help sell the home. They wanted to replace the old supports in the basement will sturdier supports. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their home. Our Design Specialist inspected the home and recommended installing 4 SmartJacks in the basement to stabilize the floor system. 

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.

A 1920s home in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, had been purchased two years ago and the home inspector noticed that the floor system was sagging. The homeowner called EFS for a free inspection of the basement and the supports. Our Design Specialist inspected the basement and recommended installing 7 SmartJacks in the basement to eliminate the sagging and add support to the floor system. Our team installed the new supports and lift-up on the floor system to level them and stabilize them.
