The floors in this home were sagging and settling more and more over time. The owners had been using temporary supports to minimize the damage, but eventually needed a more permanent solution. Erickson Foundation Supportworks installed several Smart Jack posts to address the issue. The homeowner then had a carpenter come in to help renovate the lower level of them where the ceiling and floor were affected.
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 columb was replaced with a stable SmartJack, cleaner looking and offering long lasting support.
The homeowner needed to stabilize a section of their filedstone foundation prior to completing some renovations. A new cement floor was poured in the space, and 3 PowerBraces were installed to stabilize the filedstone wall.

Erickson seemed to understand the problem better than other companies, and the price was right....
My experience with John Prince was excellent. He took the time to evaluate the home and let me know what might be causing the things I was concerned about.

Job Stories From Essex County, MA
Gloucester Canal Retaining Wall Repaired
The Blynam Canal Drawdridge had a retaining wall which was gradually having the soil underneath its footing washed away by the tides rising and falling. Upon excavating down to install a new foundation for a structure above, the DoT found huge voids underneath the wall, leaving the wall susceptible to sinking and allowing water to overflow. They needed a stronger base for their new structure, one that wouldn't be at risk of being washed away by the tide.
The DoT hired Erickson Foundation Supportworks to come in and fill the voids under the wall with PolyLEVEL. We first inserted pipes into cracks and crevices within the stones and wall, allowing us to spray in PolyLEVEL deep into the voids on the water side of the canal. On the retaining wall side, we sprayed in PolyLEVEL into the voids under the wall and between all the large stones on this side.
Although the water table could still rise up with the tide, it could no longer wash in and out with the waves or ebb of the water. Therefore, the water can no longer wash out the supporting soils, or PolyLEVEL, under the retaining wall. The wall is now fully supported and no longer at risk of sinking or failing.
