Foundation Problems Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Arlington, Massachusetts, had concerns with the chimney and wall of their 100+-year-old home. The homeowners have lived in their home for 20+ years and over the past five years, they noticed chimney movement and water entering from their garage foundation wall. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our design specialist recommended installing Helical Piers to add stability to the chimney. 

Our production team installed Helical Piers and a footing to the chimney to prevent it from settling any more. 

A homeowner in Arlington, Massachusetts, had concerns with the chimney and wall of their 100+-year-old home. The homeowners have lived in their home for 20+ years and over the past five years, they noticed chimney movement and water entering from their garage foundation wall. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our design specialist recommended installing Helical Piers to add stability to the chimney and the wall and then installing an Auxiliary Wall to the wall that the chimney was leaning on to add support to that wall. 

Our production team installed 4 Helical Piers to the foundation wall and then installed an Auxiliary wall to the foundation wall to stabilize the chimney.

This home in Arlington, Massachusetts, had experienced sagging in the floors of their front porch. They have seen the issue get worse and decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowner and recommended replacing the supports and installing Helical Piers under the porch. Our Installation Team arrived at the home and installed 3 Helical Piers under the porch and stabilized the floors.

This foundation wall on a home in Auburn, NH had a large crack near the inside corner. Over the years, pressure from the soils on the exterior pushed against the wall, eventually cracking it and causing it to lean visibly inwards towards the basement. Our team designed and installed a wall stabilization solution using PowerBrace brackets. These steel, wall stabilization supports are a permanent solution that will prevent the bowing wall from leaning in any further. They are anchored to the concrete floor below, as well as to the floor beams and joists above. Rather than waiting for the problem to get worse, these homeowners took action and now have peace of mind that their foundation wall is not going to bow or collapse. 

A homeowner in Pembroke, New Hampshire, had an old farmhouse that had sagging floors. The EFS team installed 10 SmartJacks into the basement of the farmhouse.
