Foundation Problems Before & After Photos

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.

Faced with a bowing floor from the added weight of a new pellet stove in Stoneham, MA, our recent project showcases our commitment to solid solutions. Before, you'll notice the precarious temporary supports struggling under pressure. Our intervention came with the SmartJack system—a proven reliable support upgrade. The after photo vividly illustrates how these careful installations have provided lasting stability where it's needed, ensuring the homeowner's piece of mind and the structural integrity of their living space.

A homeowner in Stoneham, Massachusetts, had concerns with the stability of the dining room in their home. The dining room was added to the home after it was built in 1950. 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. 

This home in Barrington, New Hampshire, had sagging floors on the main floor of their home. EFS recommended using SmartJacks and a supplemental beam to eliminate the sag on the main floor. 

This homeowner in North Reading, Massachusetts was experiencing a crack in their basement start to leak. The crack was sealed previously. When the homeowners first moved into their home 8 years ago, a crack was visible in the basement. The crack is leaking again and they need to seal it. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Stephen Caron inspected the home.  As he walked into the basement he noticed the crack on the wall. Stephen examined the crack and recommended resealing the crack and then installing FlexiSpan over the sealed crack.

The crew began sealing the crack and then began installing the FlexiSpan. FlexiSpan is a product that is a permanent solution to keeping wall cracks dry. Before applying FlexiSpan, the crew seals the crack using crack injection. Then they put a coat of FlexiSpan open-cell foam sealant over the sealed crack. On top of the special sealant, they then installed the FlexiSpan. This method will seal the crack but, if the crack does leak again the FlexiSpan will act as a channel and guide the water to a draining point at the floor where it is connected to WaterGuard or Catus Board.
