Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Malden, Massachusetts had an issue where the original brick and wooden porch supports of this 1890 Victorian home need to be repaired. The beams are slipping off of the piers in some places and would like for Erickson to come and look at them.

Design Specialist Kyle Jamerson came to the home and gave a full inspection of the porch. He decided that the porch would need new perimeter supports along with some additional support towards the middle. He proposed that the perimeter supports be 5 EZ posts and the interior supports be 4 SmartJacks. 

Crew Lead Spencer Ladd and his team came to the home and followed the plan Kyle proposed. They installed the SmartJacks first to add support to the middle of the porch. After the SmartJacks, they installed all 5 of the EZ posts. 

The homeowner was very happy with the project.

A homeowner in Malden, Massachusetts is looking to remodel their home. Before making that investment, they want to make sure that the foundation is providing enough support to the home so that floors will be level. Our Erickson Foundation Solutions team looked forward to providing a permanent solution to stabilize and support the home.

After completing a free home inspection, our Design Specialist recommended installing SmartJacks in the basement. These SmartJacks would replace old and decaying Lally columns that could no longer provide the support to the structure that was needed. Our SmartJacks are posts that provide permanent support to the home. They are made of galvanized steel which prevents corrosion and can support 60,000lbs.

The SmartJacks were cemented into the foundation on a sturdy base and attached to a supplemental support beam. With these durable posts in place, the home is now properly supported. This homeowner can now remodel their home with confidence that floors are level and will remain level.

This homeowner in Lee, New Hampshire has lived in their home since it was built in 2005. In the last 3 years, they have seen a crack start to form in the foundation wall of their detached garage and get larger every year. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their garage. Our Design Specialist Victor Tapia met with the homeowner and inspected the garage. Victor found that the crack was getting larger because the wall was bowing outward and needed to be stabilized to stop the wall from continuing to bow. 

This older brick column was failing, causing the beam and floor above to sag more and more over the years. It was also a large, bulky obstacle at the bottom of the basement steps. The brick column was replaced with a stable SmartJack, cleaner looking and offering long lasting support.

A homeowner in Merrimac, Massachusetts, had water coming through their fieldstone foundation after removing a tree in their yard. The homeowner reached out to EFS for an inspection and our design specialist recommended installing an Auxiliary wall against the fieldstone foundation.
