SmartJacks Installed, Middleton, NH

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. 

Crawl Space Support and Waterproofing, North Andover, MA

A homeowner in North Andover, MA has been experiencing flooding in their crawl space. This flooding has caused a good amount of damage, as well as mold and odors. Additionally, the crawl space was now struggling to support the rest of the home. This homeowner wanted a permanent solution to eliminate these issues, which is why he reached out to our Erickson Foundation Solutions team.

After a free inspection with our Design Specialist, Nikki Burke recommended installing SmartJacks in the crawl space to withhold and support the structure. Installing a waterproofing system was also essential. In order to do this, our team installed our SmartSump, a sump pump system which collects all the unwanted water and disposes of it safely away from the home. In addition to this, CleanSpace is applied to encapsulate the space. Our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier was also installed to prevent moisture and other undesirable qualities such as mold.

This crawl space was once wet, cold, moldy, and unstable. After installing these products, the crawl space has transformed into a dry and solid foundation. Without worry of water, air is healthy for the household and sagging floors have been restored. This homeowner was thrilled to say the least.

Uneven Floors, Wakefield, MA

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!
