Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Lexington, MA was looking for a contractor to make some repairs in the crawlspace beneath their home. The floors were sagging and a little creaky, and so the support columns needed to be replaced and upgraded to something more substantial. They were also concerned with the dirt floor in the crawlspace, as this was effecting the air quality in their home. 

Our team reinforced the floor system and support beams with our patented SmartJack system, steel support posts with wide bases and adjustable brackets. Once the SmartJack columns were in place and the beams were permanently stabilized, the dirt floor of the crawlspace was then also covered with Cleanspace vapor barrier. This encapsulation system will help control humidity levels, improve air quality (prevents dust and mites), and create an all around cleaner crawlspace for the homeowners. 

The transformation of the dirty crawlspace into a clean area was exactly what the homeowner wanted and needed, and they were thrilled with the results. 

After moving into their newly purchased home, these owners wished to make several upgrades and improvements. One of the first items they needed to fix were their uneven, sloping floors. The basement was full of temporary jacks and wood columns, which were not properly supporting the floor. This before and after shows the failing column supports and the SmartJack (warrantied) which replaced them.

A homeowner in West Newton, Massachusetts, lived in a 1920s home that has a stone foundation that lets moisture into the home. Our team sealed the foundation wall by spraying PolyLevel Wall Restoration over the stone. 

This homeowner had quite a few things that needed attention in their basement. They had support issues, bowing of walls, and water coming into the basement. They decided to call Erickson Foundation Supportworks. Design Specialist Paul Magowan came to the home to inspect what they needed. They ended up needing to install SmartJacks, a sump pump, waterproofing, and needed to dig a trench to divert water away from the home. Crew Lead Jon Provost and his team installed everything and were able to dig the trench.

The Director of Facilities at Camp Bernadette in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire has an issue with their arts and crafts building. The arts and crafts building, which was built in 1935, has a crack in the foundation wall. 

A design specialist from EFS inspected the arts and crafts building. They examined the foundation wall of the building. A couple of cracks were found and one section was separating from the foundation. The design specialist recommended installing a new masonry wall on the corner of the foundation and then Geolocks down the rest of the foundation wall. 

The EFS crew installed a masonry wall at the corner of the building and then secured the rest of the wall with 5 Geolocks.
