Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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.

A homeowner in Webster, New Hampshire had recently inherited their parent's home after they passed. 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. 

Homeowners in Concord, New Hampshire experienced sloping floors so severe that friends have fallen while walking in the kitchen. Looking to replace flooring, they first wanted to stabilize the floor. They reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions for a permanent solution.

Our Design Specialist, Peter Carstean, recommended installing SmartJacks in the crawl space to stabilize the above floor. Our installation crew installed a total of 7 SmartJacks. They were installed by inserting galvanized steel plates on top of crushed stone, creating a sturdy base. Supplemental beams were installed along the top of the crawl space and connected to the steel plates with the SmartJack posts. Once installed, the SmartJacks were then raised to lift and level the sunken floors.

These crawl space support jacks stabilize the floor while offering more support to the home. These homeowners can now replace their flooring with confidence that it won't get damaged due to sinkage.
