A homeowner in Medford, Massachusetts was told by a home inspector that his foundation was not properly supporting the rest of the home. This can create sagging and uneven floors when left untreated. In worst case scenarios, floors can collapse. Looking to maintain property value before selling the home, he looked to our Erickson team for a solution.
Our Design Specialist, Kenneth Calabrese, performed a free home inspection. He then confirmed that the foundation needed additional support. To do this, Kenneth recommended installing SmartJacks. SmartJacks are similar to Lally columns. They are made of galvanized steel, including plates that are cemented into the foundation. Once installed, the floor above is instantly supported and stabilized. Floor sagging and sloping is eliminated.
With the SmartJacks in place, the selling process for this homeowner just became a lot easier. The next person to inherit the home will have a safe and permanently stable foundation.

The team installed 4 Geolocks onto the rear foundation wall of the garage. The team used the Geolocks to straighten the wall and prevent the crack in the garage from getting larger.
