Poly Foam and SmartJacks, Arlington, MA

Tom A. of Arlington, Massachusetts has a fieldstone foundation that was crumbling, and wanted to know what options he had. Tom had called EFS to see if they could send out someone out to look at his home. Erickson Foundation Solutions sent out Design Specialist Michael Bradley to the home. Michael inspected the basement of the home and proposed a Poly Foam to coat the inside of the fieldstone foundation and then SmartJacks to add support to some of the older beams in the home. 

Crew Lead Spencer Ladd and his team came to the home and sprayed the foam and installed the new SmartJacks into the basement. After the project, Tom actually likes the look more with the white foam finish than the untouched fieldstone.

Push Piers Installed, Andover, MA

This homeowner in Andover, Massachusetts, had noticed cracks forming in the wall of their foundation. The cracks had gotten more significant over time due to settlement and had started to leak water. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection and to help determine the best solution.  After the inspection was completed by our Design Specialist, we recommended installing 8 Push Piers and FlexiSpan around the front left corner of the home to stabilize the foundation and seal the cracks that were allowing water into the basement. The piers were the ideal permanent solution, ensuring no further settlement would occur. 

Replacing a Lally Column with a SmartJack, Andover, MA

This homeowner from Andover, Massachusetts recently bought a home without an inspection. Now, he is making investments to fix up his home. Adding stability to his structure is of great importance. The floors above the garage are bouncy and there are slight signs of sinking. This homeowner understood that it was important to solve the problem before matters got much worse.

Our team noted that the old Lally Column wasn't providing the proper support to the home that was needed. This is why we chose to replace it with a SmartJack. This support system is made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel. This ensures that it won't develop rust or be damaged by pests. SmartJack posts are installed on a sturdy base that prevents further settlement.

This will provide the proper support and stabilization to the home, while fixing the issue of the sinking floors.
