Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Groton, Massachusetts had purchased their home 2 years ago as a fixer-upper with foundation issues. When the homeowner purchased the home they believed they could do some of the repairs themselves. The homeowner doesn't think that is the case anymore. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

The design specialist recommended a masonry wall rebuild

The EFS team first supported the home using temporary posts. They then chipped away the old foundation wall down to the footing. Next, they poured a new footing. Once the footing was set they started building the masonry wall. 

A homeowner in Groton, Massachusetts, lives in a home that was built over 100 years ago. Since they moved into the home 2 years ago they have been worried about the foundation walls of the home. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their foundation. Our Design Specialist recommended replacing a 10' section of the foundation wall and replacing it with our Masonry Wall. 

In Merrimack, NH, a homeowner faced a significant vertical wall crack in their cement block foundation, as clearly seen in the before photo. This crack risked compromising the structural stability of their home. By implementing our advanced PowerBrace™ System, we permanently stabilized the affected wall. The after photo illustrates the effective placement of zinc-plated steel beams, securely anchored from floor to framing. This tailored solution ensures that there is no further inward movement, enhancing the long-term integrity of the foundation without needing extensive drilling or digging.

In this foundation in Bow, NH you can see the crack that started to form on the foundation. In the second photo, Erickson Foundation Supportworks sealed the crack and installed a Geo-Lock system to stabalize the wall from moving.

This homeowner in Bow, New Hampshire was experiencing the back of their garage bowing outward. The homeowner of 15 years has noticed the problem get slightly worse over time and wanted to look into a repair. Design Specialist John Prince came to the home and inspected the issue. He concluded that the home would benefit from installing geolocks to counteract the wall being pushed outward. 

Crew Lead Scott Crandall and his team came to the home and dug a trench in the garage so that they could internally mount 3 geolocks under the garage floor. They drilled a long threaded rod from the back of the garage to the trench in the garage. Once they drill the rod to the trench they secure large plates to both ends and tighten them to create enough tension to secure the foundation wall. After, they filled the trench and put covers on the geolocks that are on the back of the garage.
