Before & After Photos

In the before photo, this Charlestown, MA home shows a crawl space with insufficient floor support, resulting in noticeable gaps and troublesome creaking sounds in the kitchen. As you can see in the after photo, our installation of the SmartJack® System effectively stabilized the crawl space beams and floor joists. By providing a solid foundation with engineered fill and adjustable galvanized steel columns cut to length, we lifted the kitchen floors closer to their original position, ensuring stability and reducing bounce. This comprehensive foundation repair offers a lasting, reliable solution.

This homeowner in East Wakefield, New Hampshire was experiencing some settlement in their home along with some moisture in the basement. They would like to have a company come out and address both things for them. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection.

Design Specialist Michael LaMalfa inspected the home. During his inspection, he noticed a lot of moisture in the basement. He recommended installing a Sani Dry system in the basement. To address the settlement he recommended replacing the two of the lally columns in the basement with SmartJacks.

Crew Lead Spencer Ladd and his team installed the 2 SmartJacks and the Sani Dry into the basement. 

This homeowner in East Wakefield, New Hampshire has had concerns with their foundation wall since they moved into their home 10 years ago. After realizing that this home isn't their forever home, they decided that they would need to preserve the value of the home and make necessary repairs. One of the first repairs on the list was horizontal cracks in their foundation wall. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Michael LaMalfa inspected the interior and exterior of the foundation. Michael found that the foundation wall is in stage 2 wall failure. The wall has long horizontal cracks and steps cracks, which are indicators that the wall is failing. Michael recommended installing Geolock Wall Anchors on the foundation wall. 

Crew Lead Spencer Ladd and his team installed 4 Geolocks on the foundation wall in the basement to stabilize the wall. The 4 Geolcoks are evenly distributed over the length of the wall. A trench was dug 10ft outside of the foundation wall to install the other end of the geolock anchors. 

The owner of a 150-year-old building in Boston, Massachusetts, had seen a building collapse in Miami and immediately thought of their building in Boston. They called EFS to have the structure of their building looked at. Our Design Specialist recommended installing Push Piers under the main brick column in the middle of the building. Our team installed Push Piers on 3 sides of the brick column to support it and the building. 

This homeowner in Melrose, Massachusetts had some cracks in the wall and ceiling. They also noticed sloping on the floor on the main level. Design Specialist John Prince came to the home and found that they only have one support in their basement, so he proposed that the homeowners have Smart Jacks installed in their basement. Crew Lead Nick Melo and his team came to the home to install Smart Jacks into the basement and repaired the cracks in the walls.
