Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Wakefield, Massachusetts, had tree logs as supports in their late 1800s home. The trees had deteriorated over the years and the homeowners had noticed a sag in their main floor. They called EFS for a free inspection, and our design specialist recommended replacing the tree logs. 

The basement area of this condo unit in Charlestown, MA had a number of old wooden columns supporting the floor above. Over the years, temporary adjustable jacks were also  installed to help with the sagging floors, but this was not a permanent solution. Our team installed 3 SmartJacks to replace the failing columns. The SmartJacks are engineered to withstand the weight of the entire structure above, and will prevent any further floors or beams from sagging. 

Discover the transformation in these photos from a recent basement repair in Boston, MA. Faced with a home inspection that revealed outdated lally columns in need of replacement, the homeowner reached out to us. In the before photo, notice the old, unreliable columns putting the home's stability at risk. After, see our solution proudly displayed: the robust SmartJack system. We swiftly replaced the compromised structures, ensuring a solid, long-lasting foundation for years to come, truly fulfilling our mission to provide remarkable experiences and reliable solutions for every homeowner.

In the before photo, this Charlestown, MA home shows a crawl space with insufficient floor support, resulting in noticeable gaps and troublesome creaking sounds in the kitchen. As you can see in the after photo, our installation of the SmartJack® System effectively stabilized the crawl space beams and floor joists. By providing a solid foundation with engineered fill and adjustable galvanized steel columns cut to length, we lifted the kitchen floors closer to their original position, ensuring stability and reducing bounce. This comprehensive foundation repair offers a lasting, reliable solution.

This homeowner in East Wakefield, New Hampshire was experiencing some settlement in their home along with some moisture in the basement. They would like to have a company come out and address both things for them. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection.

Design Specialist Michael LaMalfa inspected the home. During his inspection, he noticed a lot of moisture in the basement. He recommended installing a Sani Dry system in the basement. To address the settlement he recommended replacing the two of the lally columns in the basement with SmartJacks.

Crew Lead Spencer Ladd and his team installed the 2 SmartJacks and the Sani Dry into the basement.
