Foundation Problems Before & After Photos

A retaining wall that was previously removed 25 years ago and had been placed next to the house foundation caused some damage to the house foundation. The retaining wall that was removed was tipping from water damage, no drains had been installed, a not enough rebarb was used when it was installed. The new retaining wall is in very good shape and has had no issues. Over the years the concrete that was used to fix the damage has shrunk leaving a large space between the house foundation and the retaining wall. Erickson Foundation Supportworks sealed the crack with polyurethane foam and a new top leayer of concrete to smooth it out.

This homeowner in Derry, New Hampshire, had lived in their home for about 2 years. Since they moved into their home had noticed some issues with their floor system. They reached out to EFS and our Design Specialist recommended installing SmartJacks into the basement of the home to stop the floor system from sagging and sloping. 

A homeowner in Cambridge, Massachusetts lives near the train tracks and has a crack in their foundation that they would like to have repaired. The crack goes from the bottom of the siding to almost the footing. Erickson Foundation Solutions came to the home and inspected the crack in the foundation. They sealed the crack with crack injection and installed a crack monitor on it. The crack monitor will allow them to see if the crack is actively getting bigger or staying the same. 

The owner of a 1900s condo in Cambridge, Massachusetts, had cracking drywall and weak floors in their building. The condo had 3 tenants that had previously complained about cracking drywalls and weak floors. The condo owner decided to call EFS for an inspection, and our design specialist recommended replacing the old supports in the basement with SmartJack. The team planned to install all of the SmartJacks and then removed the old supports.
