Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Georgetown, Massachusetts, has lived in their home for the past 10 years and had noticed the doors and windows of their 4 season porch were difficult to open and close. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection of the porch to determine what had caused this issue. Our Design Specialist discovered that the difficulty of opening and closing the doors and windows stemmed from the supports under the porch being settled. We recommended installing 3 Helical Piers with porch brackets under the porch to stabilize it. 

A homeowner in Revere, Massachusetts, had called an engineer because their floors looked like they weren't supported and they were sloping. The engineer recommended installing supplemental beams. The homeowner called EFS for a free inspection of their basement and our Design Specialist recommended supplemental beams but to additionally replace the existing supports with our SmartJacks. 

This homeowner in West Newbury, Massachusetts had a fieldstone foundation that is starting to bulge in one corner. Design Specialist John Merna inspected the fieldstone foundation and proposed that Erickson Crew install an auxiliary wall to the foundation to stop the bulging and reinforce that area. Crew Lead Jon Provost and his crew installed the auxiliary wall and were able to secure the fieldstone foundation. 

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.

This homeowner in Newmarket, New Hampshire has the concrete slab in the basement that was sinking. Recent storms have allowed water to start entering the basement. The homeowner would like to prevent water from getting in and fix the concrete slab. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Michael Bradley inspected the home. Michael recommended our team demolish the old slab, pour a new slab with a soil vapor barrier, and install 11 SmartJacks for support.

Crew Lead Chris Tremblay and his team arrived at the home and demolished the slab, installed a vapor barrier and gravel fill, then installed SmartJacks, and finally poured a new slab.
