A pool deck in Framingham, Massachusetts had been slowly sinking since 1971. Over the course of 50 years, settling has caused the concrete to shift, creating tripping hazards and ugly cracks. The homeowner plans on living in the home for a long time and wants to make the pool a safe and attractive looking space. In order to achieve this, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.
Our Design Specialist, Jim Meglio, recommended installed PolyLevel to stabilize, lift, and level the concrete. Our installation crew injected the polyurethane foam underneath the concrete, filling voids. This instantly lifted the concrete. Our installation crew then positioned the concrete to return it to its original position. Some uneven edges had to be grinded down in order for the concrete to be leveled. With the concrete now stabilized, NexusPro was added to cracks and joints. This protects concrete from further cracking and settling, as well as providing an attractive finish.
The pool area is now safe, aesthetically pleasing, and ready to use for the summer!

A homeowner in Maynard, Massachusetts experienced sloping floors in their home. Concerned with the long-term stability of the floors, they reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.
Our System Design Specialist, Tom Armano, recommended installing SmartJacks in the basement to stabilize the floor and support the home. Our installation crew chipped out concrete in the foundation floor to allow space for the galvanized steel plates to be installed. The posts were then attached to the steel plates and set up along the support beam. The SmartJack's design allows for superior support compared to Lally columns, especially the temporary ones that were previously installed in the basement. Once installed, the SmartJacks were cemented in place.
The SmartJacks were raised to eliminate sloping floors. The homeowner now has peace of mind that their floors are stable, and their home is supported.
