Before & After Photos

The bump addition on this home in New Boston was settling over time. It was supported by 3 concrete pillars, all of which had failed and were sinking. Our team proposed and installed 3 EZ Post helical piles to replace the concrete pillars. The EZ posts are permanent and will not settle.

This homeowner in New Boston, New Hampshire was experiencing water entering their basement through the bulkhead. Design Specialist John Prince came to the home and suggested waterproofing the bulkhead. Crew Lead Nick Carelli and his team came to the home and installed a waterproofing system on the bulkhead. They installed a waterproof barrier around the concrete bump-out that the bulkhead is resting on to ensure that no water can enter the basement through the bulkhead anymore. Then the crew installed a new bulkhead. 

A 1920s home in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, had been purchased two years ago and the home inspector noticed that the floor system was sagging. The homeowner called EFS for a free inspection of the basement and the supports. Our Design Specialist inspected the basement and recommended installing 7 SmartJacks in the basement to eliminate the sagging and add support to the floor system. Our team installed the new supports and lift-up on the floor system to level them and stabilize them. 

A homeowner in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, had lived in their home for the past 23 years. Over the last couple of years, they have noticed their front steps were sinking and aren't level anymore. The homeowners have both had knee and hip replacements and want to make sure they can use the stairs safely. They called EFS for a free inspection of their home. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowners and inspected the steps. He confirmed that the stairs were sinking and way out of level. We recommended installing a new set of stairs and a railing to allow the homeowners to use the steps safely. 

A homeowner in Brookline, New Hampshire, built their home in 1990. After 10 years of living in their home, the homeowner decided to build a detached garage to keep their cars and other belongings in. Two decades after building their garage the homeowner noticed cracks in the left side of the garage becoming bigger and bigger. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. During the inspection, our design specialist noticed the left side of the garage seemed to be lower than the right side and the cracks on the left side of the garage signify that the left side of the garage was settling. Our design specialist recommended installing Push Piers to the left side of the garage to stabilize the foundation.
