This homeowner in Epping, New Hampshire had called EFS to address water concerns in their basement. During the installation of their new waterproofing system, our team notified the homeowner that the block foundation wall in the basement was leaning inward. Our team recommended installing 4 PowerBraces against the foundation wall to stabilize and gradually straighten the foundation walls.
This homeowner in Epping, NH was concerned about a crack in the foundation which was visible on the interior and exterior of the concrete wall. No settlement or sinking action was detected, so the crack was permanently sealed to protect against water seeping in down the road.
This homeowner in Medford, Massachusetts was experiencing stair-step cracks in their foundation wall. Our design specialist proposed Push Piers to strengthen the foundation and if possible, get some lift to offset the settlement. Our production team successfully installed the piers as needed and fully stabilized the home against any future settlement. The owners had peace of mind that the stair step cracks would no longer be an issue, and their home was protected against settlement concerns.

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.
