Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Durham, New Hampshire had been experiencing sinking and uneven floors. With concern that the situation could worsen, they reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions for a permanent solution.

One of our Design Specialists came out to conduct a free inspection of the home. Upon completion of the inspection, our Design Specialist recommended installing SmartJacks. SmartJacks are similar to Lally columns, but are able to provide better support to the home, and are also adjustable. The SmartJacks are installed by inserting a galvanized steel plate into the foundation on top of a sturdy base of crushed stone. Then, the steel post is attached to the plate, and also connected to a supplemental support beam. The system is then cemented in place.

With the system in place, the proper support is given to the home. This levels out floors and eliminates the bouncy feeling in floorboards. This homeowner can now have peace of mind that his floors are permanently stabilized!

This homeowner in Danvers, MA noticed the concrete deck around the pool was sinking. They wanted the surface to be level and safe for use throughout the summer, and so chose Erickson Foundation Solutions to install PolyLevel.

After installation, the concrete around the pool was even, stable, and safe.

In Lynn, MA, the homeowner faced the challenge of sunken kitchen floors due to failing wooden and temporary support posts in the basement. As you can see in the before photo, this compromised not only the floor stability but also the overall safety of the home. To address this issue, we installed the SmartJack® System. In the after photo, note how the galvanized steel columns securely lift and stabilize the crawl space beams and floor joists. Our solution effectively restored the floor to its original elevation, ensuring long-term stability and peace of mind.

Before tackling this crawl space dilemma in Lynn, MA, the homeowner was faced with sagging floors, a clear sign of inadequate support below. The transformation, as seen in these photos, speaks volumes to the reliability of our solution. We brought stability back to the home with our SmartJack system, visibly lifting and securing the floors above. This not only rectifies the problem but ensures a lasting foundation for the future, aligning perfectly with our mission of providing enduring solutions and a remarkable customer experience.

The owner of a commercial building in Framingham, Massachusetts, had the front steps of their building sink and cause a tripping hazard. The owner doesn't know when the issue started but it has become a hazard and the owner doesn't want anyone getting injured. The owner decided to call EFS for an inspection, and our design specialist recommended installing PolyLevel under the front steps to lift and level the steps and NexusPro to seal the cracks.
