Before & After Photos

A Multi-Family home in Dedham, Massachusetts, is being run by the son of the owner. The son lived on the main floor of the building and tenants lived on the 2 floors above. A few years ago the son noticed some issues with the floors pulling away from the wall. They called EFS for a free inspection of their floor system. We recommended installing SmartJacks to stabilize the floor system. 

This lake-side home in Nottingham, New Hampshire, had supports at the back of their home that were rusted and failing. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their home. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowner inspected the foundation and recommended installing Helical Piers on the back of the home and encased them in an Auxiliary Wall. We installed the Helical Piers and then set up our forms and encased the piers in concrete to lock them into place. 

In Nottingham, NH, a homeowner faced the issue of a rusting, deteriorating lally column compromising basement stability. The before photo highlights the column’s critical state, causing concern for the home's structural integrity. At Erickson Foundation Solutions, we addressed this with our SmartJack System, demonstrated in the after photo. Our solution involved installing custom-cut, galvanized steel columns on a solid engineered base. This not only stabilized but also lifted the floors toward their original elevation, ensuring a sturdy, permanent foundation solution. Trust our expertise in advanced foundation repair to safeguard your home.

The foundation of this home in Woburn, MA was built on and within ledge rock. Over time, soils moved and the walls were shifting and cracking. With so much ledge, there were few options available for repairs. However, PowerBraces were the perfect solution, along with pouring a new, reinforced wall to contain and enhance the system.

This homeowner in Woburn, Massachusetts had their insurance company come out and tell them that they need to fix a crack in their foundation. They called Erickson Foundation Supportworks because we had done some work for them in the past. 

Michael LaMalfa was the Design Specialist on this project. He designed an effective solution to a cracked and bowing foundation wall. He proposed Geolocks to stop the wall from bowing. Then, pour a secondary auxillary wall to reinforce it entirely, as well as dress it up a bit.

The before pictures show the wall had bulges from its bowing. The after picture shows what it looked like after the auxillary wall was poured.
