Foundation Problems Before & After Photos

In Concord, NH, a homeowner faced a challenge: wooden support posts in their basement lacked long-term stability, threatening their home's future. As you can see in our before photo, the foundation's reliance on inadequate supports was a hidden risk lurking beneath. Fortunately, our solution brought confidence and protection. We installed SmartJack supports, designed for durability and strength. Notice in the after photo: the transformation ensures this home stands securely for years to come, embodying our commitment to superior service and lasting solutions

A homeowner in Concord, New Hampshire, had the back of their home settling. EFS removed an old retaining wall and installed a new one to prevent further settlement. 

This homeowner in Manchester, New Hampshire was experiencing several of the lally columns in the basement were starting to deteriorate. The homeowner decided it was time to call Erickson Foundation Solutions for a free inspection. 

Senior Design Specialist Michael LaMalfa arrived at the home and inspected the old lally columns. Michael confirmed that the lally columns are deteriorating. He recommended that the homeowners replace them with new lally columns. 

Crew Lead Spencer Ladd and his team arrived a the home and set up temporary supports so they could remove the old lally columns. After the old lally columns were removed, they began installing the new lally columns. 

This home in Manchester, NH was dealing with very wet soil on the property due to a wet, rainy year. The saturated soils on the exterior of the foundation walls were pushing against the concrete and causing it to crack and bow into the basement. The project included rebuilding a section of wall, installing a waterproofing sump pump system, and reinforcing a section of foundation wall with PowerBrace wall anchors. 

This before and after features a view of the wall anchors installed in one section of the basement. The wall cracks are visible, and were caused by soils pushing against it with incredible force. With the PowerBrace supports in place, the concrete wall is permanently stabilized and will not bow in any further. The water is now also diverted to a sump pump system, which will help relieve the pressure in the soil.

A homeowner in Manchester, New Hampshire, purchased their home in August 2022. Recently they have noticed some bounciness in their floor system. They called EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowner and recommended adding SmartJacks into the basement to stabilize the floor system. 

Our Installation team installed 5 SmartJacks into the basement to stabilize the floor system.
