A homeowner in Fremont, New Hampshire, had lived in their 1920s home for over a decade and had seen water leaking through their old bulkhead door. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their bulkhead to find a solution to prevent water from seeping into the basement.
Our Design Specialist met with the homeowners and inspected the bulkhead door and determined that the wooden and concrete base had given way to allow water to flow into the basement. Our specialist recommended replacing the bulkhead with a new one. Before leaving the home our specialist measured the bulkhead so our installation team could install the correct size door.
Our installation team arrived at the home and replaced the old bulkhead door with our new one.
A Multi-Family home in Dedham, Massachusetts, is being run by the son of the owner. The son lived on the main floor of the building and tenants lived on the 2 floors above. A few years ago the son noticed some issues with the floors pulling away from the wall. They called EFS for a free inspection of their floor system. We recommended installing SmartJacks to stabilize the floor system.
This lake-side home in Nottingham, New Hampshire, had supports at the back of their home that were rusted and failing. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their home. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowner inspected the foundation and recommended installing Helical Piers on the back of the home and encased them in an Auxiliary Wall. We installed the Helical Piers and then set up our forms and encased the piers in concrete to lock them into place.
The foundation of this home in Woburn, MA was built on and within ledge rock. Over time, soils moved and the walls were shifting and cracking. With so much ledge, there were few options available for repairs. However, PowerBraces were the perfect solution, along with pouring a new, reinforced wall to contain and enhance the system.
This homeowner in Woburn, Massachusetts had their insurance company come out and tell them that they need to fix a crack in their foundation. They called Erickson Foundation Supportworks because we had done some work for them in the past.
Michael LaMalfa was the Design Specialist on this project. He designed an effective solution to a cracked and bowing foundation wall. He proposed Geolocks to stop the wall from bowing. Then, pour a secondary auxillary wall to reinforce it entirely, as well as dress it up a bit.
The before pictures show the wall had bulges from its bowing. The after picture shows what it looked like after the auxillary wall was poured.
