A homeowner in Marblehead, Massachusetts, had purchased their home about a year ago. When they purchased the home they noticed the floors were sagging. Over the first year of owning the home, the homeowners have noticed cracks forming around the interior of their home. They decide to call EFS for a free inspection. EFS recommended installing SmartJacks in the basement to add support to the main level of their home.
Our production team installed 4 SmartJacks XT and 20' of Supplemental beam to eliminate the sloping in the main floor of the home.
A homeowner in Beverly, Massachusetts, purchased their home less than a month ago and had noticed cracks in the drywall on the main level of the home. The cracks were located above doorways and on walls.
The homeowners didn't know what was happening so they reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their home. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowners and looked at the main level and basement of the home to determine what was causing the cracks. Our specialist found that the floor system in the areas of the cracks was not supported enough. They recommended installing 3 SmartJacks in the basement. The SmartJacks will add support to the floor system where it lacks strength. The homeowner was very pleased with the results of the project.
In Ipswich, MA, a homeowner faced structural challenges with temporary lally columns and failing brick supports, resulting in sagging floors, as shown in the before photo. Our SmartJack® System was the permanent solution, stabilizing crawl space beams and supporting the home’s floors effectively. Notice in the after photo how the galvanized steel columns, set on a sturdy base with adjustable brackets, have restored the floors to their original level, reducing excess movement. Erickson Foundation Solutions provided unparalleled service, ensuring a stable and secure foundation for a lifetime.
A homeowner in North Hampton, New Hampshire noticed uneven and sloping floors in his home. Concerned about the issue, he called Erickson Foundation Solutions to implement a permanent fix.
Our Design Specialist, Jason Vachon, recommended installing SmartJacks to stabilize the floor and support the structure of the home. These SmartJacks are similar to Lally columns, but are able to provide extra support to the home. The galvanized steel plate cemented in the foundation is attached to a supplemental support beam by an adjustable steel post. This instantly stabilizes and levels floors.
Now that the SmartJacks have been installed, this homeowner has peace of mind knowing that the structure of his home is properly supported, and his floors are now even.
