Before & After Photos

Before diving into this cramped crawlspace in Melrose, MA, you'll notice wooden sticks precariously propping up a home – hardly the stable solution any homeowner desires. Fast forward to our intervention, and observe the powerhouse upgrade: SmartJack support systems now hold the fort, planting seeds of confidence and permanence beneath this family’s foundation. Through meticulous expertise, we've not only refurbished the space but recrafted peace of mind, reinforcing this home's legacy with enduring support.

When the Melrose homeowner noticed their floors sinking by four inches, it was clear the wooden supports underneath were failing. The before photo shows the compromised stability of their home's structure. Thankfully, by installing SmartJack™—a proven support system—we restored and reinforced the footing, perfectly demonstrated in the after photo. Accompanied by the SaniDry Sedona installation, their crawl space is now dry, stable, and healthy. Our quick transformation ensures the home's problem is solidly solved, promising peace of mind and durability.

The homeowner of this property had been living here for about a year, and knew he had to get around to fixing his sagging floors. The support columns throughout the basement were not to code, and the beam and floor joists were sagging in several places. Steel I-beams and SmartJacks were installed to replace all these columns, raise the floor slightly in places, and permanently stabilize the floors.

This homeowner in Malden Massachusetts had a problem where their chimney had started tilting away from their home due to poor soil conditions beneath it. They hired our Erickson Foundation Supportworks team to install push-piers to rectify the issue.

Michael Biedrzycki was the design specialist that came out to the home and took a look at the chimney. He proposed push-piers to support the footing of the chimney and to straighten it as well. Jon Provost was the crew lead on this project. He and his team installed the piers and permanently stabilized it's footing.

This homeowner in Malden, Massachusetts had an issue where the original brick and wooden porch supports of this 1890 Victorian home need to be repaired. The beams are slipping off of the piers in some places and would like for Erickson to come and look at them.

Design Specialist Kyle Jamerson came to the home and gave a full inspection of the porch. He decided that the porch would need new perimeter supports along with some additional support towards the middle. He proposed that the perimeter supports be 5 EZ posts and the interior supports be 4 SmartJacks. 

Crew Lead Spencer Ladd and his team came to the home and followed the plan Kyle proposed. They installed the SmartJacks first to add support to the middle of the porch. After the SmartJacks, they installed all 5 of the EZ posts. 

The homeowner was very happy with the project.
