A homeowner in Middleton, New Hampshire, had purchased their lakeside home just over two years ago. When they purchased the home they noticed the floors in the home seemed to be out of level. They called EFS to have us inspect the crawlspace to look at the supports and the floor system. We recommended replacing the existing cinder block supports with 12 SmartJacks and Supplemental beams to stabilize and level the floors.
A homeowner in Wakefield, Massachusetts had been experiencing sagging floors. Although this was very annoying, it caused a greater concern for the long-term health of the structure. This led to the homeowner reaching out to our Erickson Foundation Solutions team in search of a way to stabilize her home.
Our Design Specialist, Nikki Burke, recommended installing SmartJacks to support the home and stabilize the floors. This homeowner already had Lally columns all throughout her basement, but they could not provide the proper support that was needed. SmartJacks offer more support by inserting a galvanized steel plate into the foundation. This steel plate sits on a sturdy base of crushed stone. The galvanized steel post is then attached to the plate, and also connects to a supplemental beam. Once installed, they are cemented in place.
The SmartJacks not only prevented the floor from sinking further, but they also raised and leveled the floor as well. This homeowner was thrilled that the sagging and uneven floors had been fixed, and that the structure of her home is now properly supported!
When the homeowners in Rochester, NH, noticed their fieldstone and brick basement foundation beginning to crumble, they turned to us for a solution. As you can see in the before photo, the damage was significant, leaving the stability of their home at risk. Our team swiftly installed our StableLock system, designed to secure and stabilize foundations with unparalleled strength. The after photo showcases the remarkable transformation - a solid, reinforced foundation ready to stand the test of time, ensuring the homeowners peace of mind and the structural integrity of their beloved home.
A homeowner in Stratham, New Hampshire, is planning to sell their home in the next 5 years and wanted to address some concerns in their home before it goes on the market. One of those concerns was the crack in the foundation wall in the basement. They called EFS to come out to their home for a free inspection and our Design Specialist inspected the crack and also found that the foundation was bowing inward. Our Design Specialist recommended installing FlexiSpan over the crack and installed 5 PowerBraces to stabilize and straighten the foundation wall.
The owner of a home in Newburyport, Massachusetts, just purchased their home and has already begun removing the back porch and addition so they could create a large back porch. To properly stabilize the porch the homeowner called EFS about us installing our Helical Piers. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowner and recommended installing 16 Helical Deck Piers to stabilize the future porch.
Our installation team installed all 16 piers to their proposed locations so we could stabilize the porch for many years to come.
