Before & After Photos

This foundation wall on a home in Auburn, NH had a large crack near the inside corner. Over the years, pressure from the soils on the exterior pushed against the wall, eventually cracking it and causing it to lean visibly inwards towards the basement. Our team designed and installed a wall stabilization solution using PowerBrace brackets. These steel, wall stabilization supports are a permanent solution that will prevent the bowing wall from leaning in any further. They are anchored to the concrete floor below, as well as to the floor beams and joists above. Rather than waiting for the problem to get worse, these homeowners took action and now have peace of mind that their foundation wall is not going to bow or collapse. 

In Providence, RI, a concerned homeowner sought our expertise after a carpenter noticed unstable makeshift supports in their crawl space, risking the structure above. In the before photo, it's evident that the temporary solutions weren't effectively supporting the floors. We addressed this by installing our SmartJack® System, visible in the after photo. This system created a stabilized environment since SmartJack stabilizes crawl space beams and floor joists by distributing the home’s weight using galvanized steel columns. Our reliable solution ensures enhanced structural integrity and stability for the home.

This homeowner in Concord, Massachusetts had some concerns with the back wall of their garage as it was cracked and bowing out. They called Erickson to find a permanent fix to these issues. Design specialist John Prince proposed Geolock wall anchors to stabilize the wall. Crew lead Josh Provost and his team installed the Geolocks and the wall is no longer at risk of bowing or failing. There are also cover plates over the Geolocks to be a bit more appealing to the eye on the outside of the house in that location.

This retaining wall in Chelmsford, MA was leaning on two sides. Erickson Foundation Supportworks repaired the wall with GeoLock wall anchors.

A homeowner in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, had concerns with their front foundation wall. The stairs at the front of their home had been sinking for years and the homeowners think the stairs might be causing the wall to begin to fail. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist confirmed their concerns. 

Our production team replaced a 6ft section of the foundation wall to build a new foundation wall using a masonry block.
