Foundation Problems Before & After Photos

A homeowner of a home in Acton, Massachusetts, recently purchased their home 2 weeks ago. They had a home inspection look at the home before the sale was final and they noticed that the lally columns in the garage were rusting at the top and those lallys support a main beam that supports two floors above the garage. They call EFS for a free inspection on their lally columns. Our Design Specialist recommended replacing the lally columns with SmartJacks to support the main beam. 

Our installation team installed the 4 SmartJacks into the garage under the main beam. 

Alberto B. of Contoocook, New Hampshire has a foundation that is a combination of concrete and fieldstone and the foundation walls have cracks in them. One of the cracks in the fieldstone part of the basement is so bad you can see daylight through the wall. Alberto wants to fix these problems for his kids. He called Erickson Foundation Solutions to see if they could come out and look at his foundation and solve his concerns. 

Design Specialist Royce Potts came to Alberto's home and inspected the foundation. Royce proposed that EFS will install auxiliary walls in the areas of concern.

Crew Lead Jon Provost and his team came to the home and installed 16' of auxiliary wall to the basement. 

This homeowner in Westford, Massachusetts had an issue where the retaining wall in their garage was leaking. The homeowners called Erickson Foundations Supportworks for options on fixing the leak. Design Specialist Michael Biedrzycki came to the home and talked to the homeowners about their options. Scott Crandall and his team were able to permanently seal the crack where the water was coming into the garage. 

This homeowner in Westford, Massachusetts had a cracked concrete pier under a support post. This post supports the addition of the home and the homeowner would like this fixed ASAP. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Justin Wenners found that the pier had a considerable chunk taken off of the top.

Crew Lead Chris Tremblay and his team removed the old concrete pier and installed the new EZ post where the old pier was. 

A homeowner in Westford, Massachusetts, had been living in their home for the past 30 years. Since they moved in the foundation has had a small horizontal crack along the front-facing wall. Over the past 3 years, the crack had gotten worse and that wall had started to bow inward. Our design specialist recommended installing PowerBraces along the front-facing foundation wall. Our production team installed 7 PowerBraces to the foundation wall.
