Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Older home with a fieldstone foundation. The lally columns and brick posts were failing and settling over the years, and so the homeowner was looking for a permanent solution to fix the problem. Erickson Foundation Supportworks installed several SmartJacks throughout the basement area, which was all dirt floor. The homeowners old sumppump was also replaced and upgraded.

A homeowner in Hampstead, New Hampshire, had some cracking in their basement caused by some settlement over the years. Our production team installed Push Piers in the back corner of the home to stop it from settling more. 

Approximately five years ago, a homeowner in Laconia, New Hampshire observed that the kitchen cabinets were detaching from the wall. As time progressed, the situation deteriorated, with increasing gaps and cracks appearing in the drywall. Concerned about her home's structural integrity, she contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions for assistance.

Our Design Specialist, Jason Vachon, recommended the installation of our GeoLock wall anchor system alongside an auxiliary foundation wall to address the deteriorating foundation. This method aims to secure the inward-bowing fieldstone and brick wall, while also preventing further deterioration. The GeoLock anchors were placed by extending rods through the foundation wall into an area with stable soil. After attaching the anchors to these rods, steel plates were secured to the inside of the foundation wall and subsequently tightened to fortify the wall against additional inward movement.

The crew began constructing the auxiliary wall by installing SmartBraces along the interior foundation wall for additional stabilization. These SmartBraces were then encased within a cement wall, forming the auxiliary wall that provides substantial strength and support to both the foundation and the home.

With the implementation of this solution, the homeowner can rest assured that the structural integrity of her forever home is permanently secured.

This homeowner in Sandown, New Hampshire had noticed a vertical crack in their foundation that shows on the inside and outside of their foundation. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Kenny Calabrese inspected the interior and exterior of the home. Kenny inspected the crack. Kenny recommended installing Push Piers and PolyLevel.

Crew Lead Ed Nadreau and his team installed 6 Push Piers. Two Push Piers around the crack and 2 more on either side of the chimney. 

This home in North Andover, MA had a large crack in the foundation. The homewoners were concerned, so Erickson Foundation Supportworks sealed it with a polyurethane injection, a foam material that quickly expands within the crack and effectively seals it up. The pictures shown are the before and after of the crack.
