Foundation Problems Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Salem, Massachusetts, had lived in their late 1800s home for the past 50 years. In the last 15 years, the homeowner had noticed the floors on the second floor of the home begin to settle. Over the past 2 years, the issue has gotten worse. The homeowner wanted to find a permanent repair for the issue so they decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist recommended installing SmartJacks and a Supplemental Beam into the basement. 

When the new homeowners in Swampscott, MA, noticed their floors sinking, they knew it was time to call in the experts at Erickson Foundation Solutions. The problem, as you can see in the before photo, was a crawl space in desperate need of support and stabilization. By installing SmartJacks, a proven solution for reinforcing below-home areas, we effectively restored the integrity and safety of their home's flooring. The remarkable transformation, highlighted in the after photo, showcases not just our commitment to durability but also to delivering an outstanding customer experience. Now, these homeowners can enjoy their new property with peace of mind, knowing their floors stand firm.

This homeowner in Newburyport, Massachusetts, lives in an 1850s home that has brick columns that need to be replaced. The homeowner called EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist Kenny Calabrese recommended replacing the brick columns with our SmartJacks. We installed 3 SmartJacks into the basement to replace the brick columns to add support to the floor system of the home. 

In the before photo from our recent project in Greenland, NH, the crawl space experienced unstable flooring issues, as seen by the ineffectiveness of temporary support posts to maintain floor stability. The homeowner contacted us to resolve this urgent problem, especially important because they planned to level the floors before improving their kitchen area. In the after photo, notice how we efficiently utilized the SmartJack® system to provide a lasting, supportive solution. This installation ensured floors were not just stabilized, but lifted to their proper elevation, successfully addressing concerns of weakened floor joists.

A homeowner in Hampton, New Hampshire, was planning on selling their home but had a crack in their foundation that was allowing water into the basement occasionally. They decided to call EFS before they placed the home on the market. Our Design Specialist recommended installing FlexiSpan to the foundation wall to prevent water from entering the home and to cover the crack. 

Our team installed the FlexiSpan to the foundation wall to prevent water from entering the basement so the homeowner could place their home on the market without worrying about the foundation crack.
