This homeowner in Bow, New Hampshire was experiencing the back of their garage bowing outward. The homeowner of 15 years has noticed the problem get slightly worse over time and wanted to look into a repair. Design Specialist John Prince came to the home and inspected the issue. He concluded that the home would benefit from installing geolocks to counteract the wall being pushed outward.
Crew Lead Scott Crandall and his team came to the home and dug a trench in the garage so that they could internally mount 3 geolocks under the garage floor. They drilled a long threaded rod from the back of the garage to the trench in the garage. Once they drill the rod to the trench they secure large plates to both ends and tighten them to create enough tension to secure the foundation wall. After, they filled the trench and put covers on the geolocks that are on the back of the garage.
A homeowner in Franklin, New Hampshire had purchased their home 2 years ago knowing that it had some foundation issues. To the homeowner's surprise, the foundation issues were worse than what the previous homeowners eluded to. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our design specialist found that the foundation issues that were left behind by the previous homeowner were worse than anticipated. The back foundation wall was close to failure and needed to be replaced. Our design specialist recommended installing an Auxiliary wall with frost mitigation and a masonry block wall to replace the failed wall.
This early 20th century home in Concord, NH was originally built on large, loose field stone. Over the years, cinder blocks were added, beams were repaired, and temporary columns were placed throughout the basement space to assist in stabilizing the sinking floors.
Overtime, the floors and beams of the home settled and needed a more permanent solution to fix the problem. We installed 9 SmartJacks and some steel I-beams to strengthen the sagging floor and lift it back up a bit. This is a much more permanent solution with a 10 year warranty.

The home had been in the family for 50 years and around 2018 the homeowner noticed a crack in the foundation wall underneath their breezeway entrance. The new homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their foundation wall. Our design specialist recommended installing PowerBraces on the foundation wall to prevent the wall from bowing any further.
