Foundation Problems Before & After Photos

In Fitchburg, MA, concerned homeowners contacted us as they noticed their floors were sagging, compromising the structural integrity of their home - a situation further urgent with a new baby in the picture, highlighting their need to secure their investment and ensure their family's safety. As seen in the before photo, the original support columns were inadequate. However, after introducing SmartJack, as illustrated in the after photo, the transformation is undeniable. We've not only stabilized the floors but effectively fortified them for the long term, ensuring the family's home is safe and sound.

Before and after look at a foundation wall crack. The crack was behind a finished wall in the home's basement, so drywall needed to be removed in order to access the crack. The foundation crack was sealed with a polyurethane injection, a foam material that quickly expands within the crack and effectively seals it all the way through. On the surface of the crack, an waterproof epoxy, NexusPro, is applied to further protect against seeping water.
