Foundation Problems Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Lawrence, Massachusetts, purchased their home 8 months ago knowing repairs would have to be made. The first problem they wanted to address was the floors not being level. They called EFS for a free inspection of their floors. The Design Specialist inspected the floors. They recommended installing SmartJacks and Supplemental beams to level and stabilize the floor. 

A crew from EFS installed 4 SmartJacks and 12' of Supplemental beam. They fixed the SmartJacks to the Supplemental beam which is supporting the rafters. The crew pours concrete over the footing of the SmartJacks to lock them into place. 

This home in Watertown, MA had a raised foundation in the back. The back-filled soils on the inside of this wall were putting pressure outward and forcing it to bow and crack. GeoLocks and Push Piers were used to stabilize the wall from bowing and settling.

A homeowner in Watertown, Massachusetts, had just moved into their home and they had their home inspected by a home inspector. The inspector recommended having the sill plate looked at by someone. The homeowners call EFS for a free inspection of their sill plate. EFS inspected the sill plate but found nothing to be concerned with. But upon examining the basement our Design Specialist found that one of the beams in the basement appeared to be sagging. We recommended installing a SmartJack under the sagging beam in the basement. 

A homeowner in Arlington, Massachusetts, had concerns with the chimney and wall of their 100+-year-old home. The homeowners have lived in their home for 20+ years and over the past five years, they noticed chimney movement and water entering from their garage foundation wall.

The homeowners have lived in their home for 20+ years and over the past five years, they noticed chimney movement and water entering from their garage foundation wall. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our design specialist recommended installing Helical Piers to add stability to the chimney and the wall and then installing an Auxiliary Wall to the wall that the chimney was leaning on to add support to that wall.
