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.

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.

A homeowner in Pembroke, New Hampshire, had an old farmhouse that had sagging floors. The EFS team installed 10 SmartJacks into the basement of the farmhouse.

In Pembroke, NH, the homeowner faced significant challenges with a bowing fieldstone foundation wall and a consistently wet, dirt basement floor. In the first photo, ample evidence of instability raised concern for the home's structural integrity. Our team recommended placing the StableLock system to enhance the wall's stability. Look at our after photo, where we applied Drainage Matting and CleanSpace for floor encapsulation, addressing water infiltration robustly. We further bolstered the area with the UltraSump Sump Pump system and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier for a drier, healthier living space.
