The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection, and our Design Specialist Liam recommended installing SmartJacks into the basement to replace the existing supports. 

Our production team replaced the supports in their basement with 13 SmartJacks. The SmartJacks were installed around the entire basement to add support to the entire floor system and prevent any sagging.

A homeowner in Methuen, Massachusetts, had sagging floors in their 1800s home. The homeowners were planning on retiring soon and wanted to find a solution to their sagging floors. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist recommended installing SmartJacks throughout the basement.

Our team installed 6 SmartJacks in the basement in a couple of different areas of the basement. Some were under the main beam, and some were installed under a supplemental beam. These new support columns completely stabilized the floor and sagging floors, providing the homeowners with a warrantied, permanent solution to their concerns.

A homeowner in Methuen, Massachusetts, had lived in their 1960s home for the past 8 years. The homeowners were interested in making a bedroom in their basement. They did some research and found that they needed to have a window installed in their basement to meet the code. They decided to reach out to EFS for a free inspection and our design specialist recommended installing a new egress window and a RockWell System.

To install the new egress window and RockWell, our production team will have to remove a section of the foundation wall and remove some dirt from against the foundation. The team started by removing dirt from the foundation wall. Once the dirt was removed the team then began making marks on the inside of the foundation wall to begin chipping out the section of concrete for the new egress window. The team chipped out a section of concrete a couple of inches larger than the window they ordered so they can install framing around the window. Once the concrete has been removed the team then inserted the framing for the window. Once the framing was completed the team installed the RockWell. They made sure to level it and tamp the dirt around it so it will not move. After the RockWell was installed the team then installed the window within the framing. The team made sure to install Ice&Water Shield around the window framing to make sure the window won't leak. After the window was completely installed the team lastly installed the RockWell cover. They mounted the brackets against the foundation wall and laid the RockWell Window Well Cover onto the brackets. 

The homeowner was very pleased with the results of the project. They were happy to now be able to create a new bedroom in their basement and have it code-compliant. 

A homeowner in Methuen, Massachusetts, plans to move to a smaller home but wanted to repair what they could in their 1950s home before they do. The homeowners have lived in the home for the past 20 years and have noticed some cracking and shifting in their cinder block foundation. The homeowner was planning to sell their home so they figured getting it repaired could help them sell their home for the market price. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our design specialist Isaac recommended installing Push Piers under the foundation wall. During Isaac's inspection, he measured that some sections of the foundation walls have settled up to 4". 

Our production team began by looking at the contract and determining where each Push Pier will be installed. After the location of each pier was determined the team then dug down and exposed the foundation footing. After the footing was exposed for all of the pier locations the team then began attaching our Push Pier brackets to the footing of the foundation wall. The team attached all of the brackets and then attached the hydraulic press to each bracket so they could push all of the piers at one time. The team made sure to push each pier until they reached sufficient pressure. When pushing the piers the team lifted up the wall back up to its original position. The team then capped all of the piers and backfilled and poured new concrete over the dirt. 

The homeowners were happy they checked one of their items off the list they wanted to accomplish at their home before they sell it. 

A homeowner in Methuen, Massachusetts, had lived in their home for the past 11 years, and since they moved they had noticed cracks in the slab in their basement. The slab had slowly seen more and more cracks appear over the years. After seeing cracks in their basement for over 10 years, the homeowners decided it was time to repair the basement slab. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection and our design specialist recommended installing PolyLevel underneath the slab to fill any void, then using NexusPro to seal all of the cracks on the surface of the slab. 

Our production team first began by drilling port holes in a grid pattern throughout the basement. The portholes will be used by the team to inject PolyLevel beneath the slab to fill the void. After all of the portholes were drilled using a small drill bit the team then began injecting the PolyLevel beneath the slab. The PolyLevel will stabilize the concrete and prevent further cracking of the slab. After the team filled all of the voids with the PolyLevel they began sealing all of the cracks with NexusPro. Once the team completed the NexusPro and cleaned up the basement the job was complete.

The homeowners were very pleased with the results of the job.
