Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Malden, Massachusetts is looking to remodel their home. Before making that investment, they want to make sure that the foundation is providing enough support to the home so that floors will be level. Our Erickson Foundation Solutions team looked forward to providing a permanent solution to stabilize and support the home.

After completing a free home inspection, our Design Specialist recommended installing SmartJacks in the basement. These SmartJacks would replace old and decaying Lally columns that could no longer provide the support to the structure that was needed. Our SmartJacks are posts that provide permanent support to the home. They are made of galvanized steel which prevents corrosion and can support 60,000lbs.

The SmartJacks were cemented into the foundation on a sturdy base and attached to a supplemental support beam. With these durable posts in place, the home is now properly supported. This homeowner can now remodel their home with confidence that floors are level and will remain level.

A homeowner in Melrose, Massachusetts, had found a large crack in their foundation wall that they were concerned with. The homeowners called EFS for a free inspection of their foundation. Our Design Specialist/ Project Manager Nate Erickson inspected the home and found that the home was settling and had caused the foundation to crack and begin to bow. Nate recommended installing GeoLocks and Push Piers to the foundation of the home to stabilize the wall and foundation from bowing and settling. 

This homeowner in Melrose, Massachusetts was experiencing sagging in the main support beam of their home. They would like to have the main beam repaired so it doesn't get any worse. The homeowners consider this their forever home and want to make sure the home stays in good condition. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection.

Design Specialist Kenny Calabrese inspected the basement and looked specifically at the main beam in the basement. Kenny recommended installing SmartJacks along the main beam in the basement.  

Crew Lead Ed Nadreau and his team installed 4 SmartJacks under the main support beam in the basement. 

Alex M. of North Reading was experiencing settling that was affecting the front door and steps of his home. Alex called EFS to see if they could help with the settling of his home. Design Specialist Chuck Hallas of EFS came out of the home and inspected the area of concern. Chuck concluded that the home could use some Push Piers to stabilize the part of the foundation that is settling. 

Jon Provost and Spencer Ladd came to the home and dug out a section of dirt near the stairs to exposed the footing of the foundation. Once they found the footing they attached a Push Pier mount to the footing and started pushing rods down until they hit bedrock or a sustainable press to hold the home.

A homeowner in North Reading, Massachusetts, had lived in their home for the past 7 years and they had noticed some settlement since moving in. They noticed the issue get a little worse every year. The homeowners felt like it was time to call EFS for a free inspection and to find a solution to the problem.
