Before & After Photos

This home in Westford, MA had a large horizontal crack in it's cinderblock foundation wall. As the wall began to increasingly buckle and lean inwards, the homeowner decided to seek a solution before the problem got worse. 

Our team proposed and installed PowerBrace steel brackets to permanently stabilize the bowing wall. This before and after gallery highlights the PowerBrace system, which will prevent the foundation wall from leaning in any further. The wall anchors can also be tightened to help straighten the wall under certain conditions as well.

A homeowner in Westford, Massachusetts, had been living in their home for the past 30 years. Since they moved in the foundation has had a small horizontal crack along the front-facing wall. Over the past 3 years, the crack had gotten worse and that wall had started to bow inward. Our design specialist recommended installing PowerBraces along the front-facing foundation wall. Our production team installed 7 PowerBraces to the foundation wall.

In Westford, MA, the homeowner faced a serious issue with water intrusion through a cracked basement foundation wall and 1/4'' wall deflection. This compromised their home's structural integrity and security. Leaks and wall shifts were evident. Erickson Foundation Solutions swiftly addressed this with our advanced GeoLock Wall Anchor and FlexiSpan systems. These solutions prevented further inward wall movement and ensured effective crack sealing. The after photo clearly demonstrates the restored stability and water protection, guaranteeing a safer, sounder home environment.

Before: This Westford, MA homeowner was dealing with sagging floors caused by inadequate basement support. During our inspection, we found that aging wooden support posts and temporary support posts were no longer providing the structural strength needed to support the floor system above. As a result, the floors had begun to sag, creating concerns about stability and making future home improvement projects difficult to tackle with confidence.

After: To permanently stabilize the floor system, Erickson Foundation Solutions installed four SmartJack® support posts in the basement. The SmartJack system provides strong, adjustable support to reinforce weakened floor structures and help prevent further movement. With the new supports in place, the homeowner now has a stabilized floor system and can confidently move forward with other home projects, knowing their home is built on a stronger foundation.

This homeowner had concerns with the supports in the crawlspace. The floors in the home were sagging and noisy, and the supports in the crawlspace were old, rusted, and unreliable. A number of SmartJacks were installed by Erickson Foundation Supportworks, as well as some reinforcing steel i-beams.
