Foundation Problems Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Amherst, New Hampshire, was remodeling their 1700s home. They became worried about the strength and stability of their floors so they reached out to EFS for a free inspection. Our design specialist recommended installing SmartJacks to stabilize the floor. Their basement is half concrete floor and half dirt floor so the team would have to use two different footings for our SmartJacks. 

This homeowner in Amherst, New Hampshire, has a sunroom on the back of their home they have seen the floors start to slope over the past 2-3 years. They wanted this issue looked at by a professional. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist Jason Vachon met with the homeowner and recommended installing 4 EZ Posts to the sunroom to support the sunroom and level the floors. 

This home built in the 1920's was dealing with sagging beams and floor joists, which ultimately led to cracking plaster in the home above. The old columns and posts in the basement were replaced with SmartJacks, which were then raised to stabilize the floor system above.

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.

A new homeowner in Littleton, Massachusetts, moved into their home a couple of months ago and wanted to have their support posts replaced. The production team installed 8 SmartJacks with 22 feet of Supplemental Beam.
