Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in West Newbury, Massachusetts was concerned with the amount of water leaking through her basement walls. She turned to Erickson Foundation Solutions to solve the problem.

After scheduling an appointment through our Customer Care Specialist, a Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free inspection. Our Design Specialist noticed that the homeowner's basement wall was heavily cracked and bowing in, which is what was causing it to leak. Unfortunately, bowing walls are a sign of much worse problems. Thankfully, our free inspection allowed the homeowner to be aware of the bowing brick and fieldstone foundation and offer a solution before potentially collapsing. Our Design Specialist recommended installing our PowerBrace Wall Repair System to stop further damage and potentially straighten the wall. We also recommended installing a waterproofing system, but emphasized that fixing the bowing wall should be the priority. The homeowner understood the importance of the situation and opted to get the PowerBrace installed.

After our installation crew installed the auxiliary wall, they also offered advice to help keep the basement dry until a waterproofing system is put in place. With this wall support system in place, the basement foundation wall is now stabilized, and the house is properly supported.

In Newmarket, NH, a homeowner faced a troubling sight: their cherished home's integrity compromised by a fieldstone foundation wall bowing inward, visible in the 'before' photo. Recognizing the critical need for stability, we at Erickson Foundation Solutions jumped into action, offering a robust, lasting remedy. Notice the transformation in the 'after' photo – utilizing StableLock, we integrated PowerBraces with rebar-enhanced concrete, crafting a resilient auxiliary wall. Witness our commitment to ensuring home safety and delivering peace of mind through tangible results.

A homeowner in Newmarket, New Hampshire, recently purchased their home but during the inspection of their home, the inspector noted a slope in their main floor. The homeowner was concerned with the stability of the floors for future projects. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their floors. Our Design Specialist recommended replacing the wooden support in the crawlspace with SmartJacks. 

Our team installed 11 SmarkJacks into the crawlspace to lift, level, and stabilize the floor above. 

This homeowner in Amesbury, Massachusetts was experiencing sagging floors in their home. Design Specialist Brian Allen came to the home and proposed a Smart Jacks System to counteract the effects of sagging floors. Crew Lead Jon Provost and his team installed Smart Jacks into the basement. Installing Smart Jacks into the basement permanently added support to the interior of the home and reversed further sagging.

Chris S. of Durham, NH was experiencing some foundational issues under their garage that caused the concrete ceiling to start to crumble. Chris called EFS to see if they could assist in fixing his garage. Design Specialist, Nate Erickson, came out to the property and inspected the garage to see what is causing the ceiling to start to crumble. Nate found that in a cellar under the garage there is a crack that is caused the foundation to weaken. The crack has weakened the foundation which has caused movement and cracked the ceiling. Nate proposed that the Erickson Crew install a galvanized sheet to cover the crumbling ceiling, then installed a couple of beams that will span the width of the garage to secure the ceiling. Then to finish it off install PolyLEVEL to stabilize and level the foundation. 

Crew Lead Scott Crandall and his team came to the home and installed the galvanized sheets on the ceiling and then installed a couple of I-beams across the width of the garage.

After the sheets and I-beams were installed, a second crew came to the home. The PolyLEVEL Crew led by Nick Melo came to the home and injected PolyLEVEL into the areas that were out of level. 

Chris was happy to see that his garage was structurally sound again.
