SmartJacks Installation, Deering, NH

A homeowner in Deering, New Hampshire purchased their home over 26 years ago. Recently they insulated their crawlspace and found the main beam in the crawlspace was sagging. They called EFS for a free inspection of their crawlspace and our Design Specialist recommended installing SmartJacks and Supplemental Beams into the crawlspace to add support to the floor system. Our team installed 13 SmartJacks and over 70' of Supplemental beam to stabilize the floors and eliminate the sag in the beam. 

Crawl Space Stabilization and Encapsulation, Hillsborough, NH

A homeowner in Hillsborough, New Hampshire had been experiencing sinking floors in their home. In an attempt to support the structure, the homeowners put concrete blocks under the support beam. This unconventional technique did not work, so they turned to Erickson Foundation Solutions for a professional and permanent solution.

After a thorough inspection, Design Specialist Jason Vachon recommended installing SmartJacks and encapsulating the crawl space with CleanSpace. This proposal would uplift and stabilize the home, while also providing a dry crawl space. Our installation crew started by putting the SmartJacks in place. This consisted of placing the steel plates on crushed stone to create a sturdy base, attaching the steel beams to those plates, and then attaching those beams to the supplemental support beam that was installed and leveled. With the SmartJacks in place, the team could then move forward with encapsulating the crawl space with CleanSpace. This vapor barrier was applied to the entire crawl space. Finally, our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was put in place.

This solution by our team delivers stability to the entire home and a dry and insulated crawl space. The benefits of these features include leveled floors, protection from insects and critters, a comfortable living space, and better air quality. The homeowner really enjoyed the result.

Garage Resurface, Newbury, NH

Signe L. of Newbury, New Hampshire was experiencing cracking and crumbling in their garage and didn't like the way it looked. Signe called Erickson Foundation Solutions to see if someone could come out and look at the garage. Design Specialist Paul Magowan came to the home and inspected the garage. After inspecting the garage Paul proposed using PolyLEVEL and Resurface Pro to lift, level, and give the garage floor a nice clean look. 

Crew Lead Nick Melo and his team came to the home and used PolyLEVEL to level the garage floor. Then Nick and the team prepped the garage floor for the application of the Resurface Pro. The team sprayed the Resurface Pro and made the cracking and crumbling garage floor smooth.

The crawlspace on this home in Greenville, NH was full of moisture and was very damp. Over the years, the wood beams and columns supporting the floor above became rotten, which eventually meant the floor above began sagging.
