Before & After Photos

When our team arrived in Andover, MA, we were met with a home in dire need of foundational support—particularly, a Lally column eagerly awaiting replacement in the basement, as pinpointed in the before photo. Swift to action, we introduced SmartJack—a reliable, steadfast solution engineered precisely for such repairs. Notice in the after photo, the transformation is clear. The once sagging foundation now stands secure and strong, ensuring safety and serenity for homeowners, thanks to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

In Andover, MA, a homeowner was facing structural stability issues as tree stumps were used as makeshift supports under their floors, causing them to split. Notice the instability in the floor system in the before photo. To rectify this, we installed the SmartJack® System, seen in the after photo, which stabilized and lifted the floors to their original elevation. This method ensures lasting support and reduces the floor's "bounce." Using galvanized steel columns secured with engineered fill provides robust support, resolving any foundational concerns with professionalism and precision.

This homeowner in Andover, MA, recently moved in and noticed sloping floors, as shown in the before photo. Our inspection revealed inadequately supported lally columns in their basement. To address this foundational concern, we installed the SmartJack® System. This system efficiently stabilized the basement beams and floor joists, lifting the floors toward their original elevation and minimizing floor bounce. Notice in the after photo, our SmartJack® delivers a secure solution by distributing the weight effectively across durable footings, ensuring strong, steady support for the long term.

A homeowner in Fremont, New Hampshire, had lived in their 1920s home for over a decade and had seen water leaking through their old bulkhead door. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their bulkhead to find a solution to prevent water from seeping into the basement. 

Our Design Specialist met with the homeowners and inspected the bulkhead door and determined that the wooden and concrete base had given way to allow water to flow into the basement. Our specialist recommended replacing the bulkhead with a new one. Before leaving the home our specialist measured the bulkhead so our installation team could install the correct size door. 

Our installation team arrived at the home and replaced the old bulkhead door with our new one. 

A Multi-Family home in Dedham, Massachusetts, is being run by the son of the owner. The son lived on the main floor of the building and tenants lived on the 2 floors above. A few years ago the son noticed some issues with the floors pulling away from the wall. They called EFS for a free inspection of their floor system. We recommended installing SmartJacks to stabilize the floor system.
