Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Salem, MA noticed sinking and sagging floors in his home. Looking to permanently stabilize the floors and provide support to the home, he reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our Design Specialist, Kenneth Calabrese, recommended installing SmartJacks in the basement. These SmartJacks are similar to Lally columns, while offering more support and providing permanent stability. Typically, these SmartJacks are cemented into the foundation. Since the basement floor was composed of pebbles, the SmartJack steel plates were buried in them. This allows for the SmartJacks to be cemented into the foundation if/when the homeowner has a concrete slab poured.

With the installation of these 5 SmartJacks, the floors are now stabilized and level.

When the new homeowners in Swampscott, MA, noticed their floors sinking, they knew it was time to call in the experts at Erickson Foundation Solutions. The problem, as you can see in the before photo, was a crawl space in desperate need of support and stabilization. By installing SmartJacks, a proven solution for reinforcing below-home areas, we effectively restored the integrity and safety of their home's flooring. The remarkable transformation, highlighted in the after photo, showcases not just our commitment to durability but also to delivering an outstanding customer experience. Now, these homeowners can enjoy their new property with peace of mind, knowing their floors stand firm.

This homeowner in Newburyport, Massachusetts, lives in an 1850s home that has brick columns that need to be replaced. The homeowner called EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist Kenny Calabrese recommended replacing the brick columns with our SmartJacks. We installed 3 SmartJacks into the basement to replace the brick columns to add support to the floor system of the home. 

Yvonne H. has a beach house in Seabrook, New Hampshire, and his beach house was sinking and needed to be releveled. Yvonne called Erickson Foundation Solutions to see if they could come up with a solution for him. 

Design Specialist David Cormier came to Yvonne's beach home. David inspected the home and proposed that the Erickson team install EZ Post to the perimeter of the home and Smart Jack to the interior of the home. 

Crew Lead Scott Crandall and his team came to the beach home and installed the EZ post and Smart Jacks to stabilize the home. 

Before venturing into the dark, cramped space beneath this Seabrook, NH home, you'd find decaying support columns, sagging insulation, and a dirt floor screaming for attention (as you can see in the left photo). Thanks to the expertise of our team at Erickson Foundation Solutions, the transformation is undeniable. Using SmartJack support systems, we not only fortified the home's foundation but also paved the way for a healthier, safer living environment—proof's in the photo!
