Photo Album: Slab Sinking Under Shed, Manchester, NH

A homeowner in Manchester, New Hampshire had built a shed in their backyard three years ago. The shed was built as a garage/shed to store their BMW sports car and some miscellaneous tools. Since the shed was built a few years ago the homeowners have seen soil around the back corner begin to erode. The shed was beginning to list toward the back left corner and now the structure is no longer level. The homeowners want to ensure that the shed will protect their car so they reached out to EFS to have a free inspection of the slab and the shed. Our Design Specialist Josh Phillips met with the homeowners and looked at the shed. After Josh inspected the entire shed, he found that there had been so much soil erosion that the shed would need additional support. Josh recommended installing 6 Push Piers and PolyLevel to be installed in the back corner of the shed. Our installation team led by Neal Foley began by installing 6 Push Piers brackets to the slab that was already exposed from the soil erosion. We then used our hydraulic press to push the piers down beneath the soil to stabilize the slab of the shed. Once the piers were all pushed to the correct pressure we then capped the piers. Then our PolyLevel Crew arrived onsite to spray PolyLevel beneath the slab to prevent further soil erosion. The team was able to lift the shed back to its original height.  The homeowner was very happy with the results of the project. They don't have to worry about the slab sinking and causing damage to their sports car.
