Foundation Problems Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Somerville, Massachusetts, recently moved into their home and wanted to renovate their 1900s house. The first step in the renovations was stabilizing the floors. Our production team replaced the old supports in the basement with new lally columns and a SmartJack near the stairs. 

Before venturing into the crawl space of this Stoneham home, the sight of decaying wooden support columns understandably raised concerns for homeowner safety. Through our comprehensive approach, as showcased in the accompanying photos, we effectively transitioned a worrisome foundation into a secured, reliable structure. Utilizing SmartJack technology, we safeguarded the home's integrity, demonstrating our commitment to delivering not just a service, but a solid, long-standing solution for peace of mind.

Since the homeowners moved in 2014 they have noticed the dining room get worse, The owners of the home decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist recommended installing 5 Helical Piers with porch brackets to stabilize the dining room foundation. 

Our installation team installed the 5 Helical Piers under the dining room by using a hydraulic drive head until they reach 1800psi. Then installed the porch bracket and fit a PT 6x6 to the bottom of the dining room to stabilize the room.
