Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, had concerns with their front foundation wall. The stairs at the front of their home had been sinking for years and the homeowners think the stairs might be causing the wall to begin to fail. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist confirmed their concerns. 

Our production team replaced a 6ft section of the foundation wall to build a new foundation wall using a masonry block. 

In Chelmsford, MA, a homeowner faced cracked foundation walls in their garage with a 1" inward deflection. This serious issue compromised the structural integrity of their home. As you can observe in the before photo, the situation required immediate attention to prevent further damage. Erickson Foundation Solutions addressed the problem by installing 8 PowerBraces, torqued to 50 lbs, providing essential stability to the damaged walls. In addition, we sealed the cracks using precision crack sealant. The after photo clearly illustrates the reinforced stability of the now secure foundation.

In the before photo, you can see how a separating chimney posed a major structural challenge for a Carlisle, MA, homeowner. The foundation's instability risked further damage and reduced property value. By employing our expertise and advanced Push Pier system, we provided a definitive solution. The Push Pier System permanently stabilized the foundation, raising the chimney one inch and effectively aligning it with the home again. This targeted intervention prevented future settlement, restored structural integrity, improved functionality, and enhanced overall property value, reaffirming the caliber of Erickson Foundation Solutions.

A homeowner in Natick, Massachusetts, lived in the home that her parents had built in 1989. Around 2009 they redid the basement bathroom and the company who did the work noticed there was a void under the slab. They paid a company to come out and fill the void with cement. Now over a decade later, the problem has only gotten worse and the homeowners are looking to find a permanent solution. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their foundation. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowners and talked about their experience with this issue and what their goals were. After learning about the issue Mark looked at the foundation and found that the foundation had settled and a section of the concrete had cracked. Mark designed a solution for the homeowners which included installing 18 Push Piers, 80 feet of NexusPro Crack Repair, and PolyLevel. 

In the before photo, notice the temporary support column in the Natick, MA, home's basement floor system that led to sagging and instability. This not only compromised floor stability but also raised concerns about long-term home safety. Our team at Erickson Foundation Solutions addressed this issue by installing the SmartJack® System. This advanced solution provides a permanent stabilization by lifting the basement beams and floor joists back towards their original elevation. Now the home's floor system is securely supported, ensuring its stability for years to come.
