Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Haverhill, Massachusetts was experiencing inadequate supports in their basement. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection.

A design specialist arrived at the home and inspected the supports in the basement. The design specialist recommended replacing the wooden supports in the basement with SmartJacks. 

This homeowner in Gilford, New Hampshire, had a crawlspace beneath an addition that had become increasingly smelly. The homeowners were tired of the odor seeping into their home so they reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their crawlspace. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowners and recommended encapsulating the crawlspace with CleanSpace and installing a SaniDry Sedona to lower the humidity to prevent the odor. After installation the odor was gone and the homeowners don't have to worry about it coming back. 

A homeowner in Nahant, Massachusetts, had moisture concerns in their basement. In their basement, they had a large section of ledge that was collecting moisture. EFS recommended encapsulating the ledge with Drainage Matting, CleanSpace, and Rim Joist Insulation. 

A homeowner in Groveland, Massachusetts wants to redo his kitchen but first noticed that his floors were sloping. Before he commits to investing in the kitchen, he wants to make sure the floors are properly supported in order to protect his investment.

Our Design Specialist, George Gouthier, recommended adding SmartJacks to stabilize the floor and support the home. These SmartJacks are similar to Lally columns but offer more support. They are installed by placing a galvanized steel plate in the foundation. The steel post attaches to plate and the above supplemental support beam. These posts are then cemented in place.

Now that the posts are installed, floors are stable and level. This homeowner can now confidently invest in his kitchen without experiencing issues down the road.
