Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Hudson, New Hampshire experienced their fieldstone foundation walls deteriorating. With the wall bowing inwards, concerns arose regarding basement wall support. They reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions in order to stabilize their foundation wall.

Our Design Specialist, Debra Rayborn, recommended installing an auxiliary wall to stabilize the fieldstone foundation. Our installation crew installed SmartJacks around the failing wall to ensure that the floor above was receiving the proper support. With the SmartJacks in place, the mold for the concrete auxiliary wall was set up. The SmartJacks were cemented into the auxiliary wall for maximum support.

With the SmartJacks and auxiliary wall installed, the basement walls are stabilized, and the rest of the home is supported.

A homeowner in Concord, New Hampshire, had their stone and brick foundaiton wall bowing outward. The homeowner reached out to EFS for a free inspection of their foundation to find a solution for their home. Our Design Specialist inspected the home and recommended installing an Auxiliary Wall against the foundation where the wall was bowing outward. Our crew arrived at the home and installed an Auxiliary wall over the bowing section of the foundation. 

A business in Londonderry, New Hampshire was growing and needed to install two loading docks onto their existing building. They needed to have the foundation checked before they could begin to install the loading docks. Our Design Specialist met with the building manager and inspected the building and discussed their plans. In order to properly support the weight of the docks and have a safe distribution of weight, we recommended installing Helical Piers beneath the footings. Our team also installed GeoLock wall anchors to ensure the foundation walls didn't buckle or lean during their project.

A home in Wilmington, Massachusetts, had an issue with the foundation sinking. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their foundation. Our Design Specialist Mark Proctor met with the homeowner and inspected all of their concerns. After the inspection, Mark recommended installing Helical Piers around the settling portion of the foundation. We installed a total of 8 Helical Piers around the sinking corner of the foundation. 

A homeowner in Medford, Massachusetts noticed their foundation wall was severely bowing inwards with multiple cracks after removing drywall. This raised big concern that the wall would collapse. In search of safety and peace of mind, they reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our Design Specialist, Kenneth Calabrese, recommended installing an auxiliary foundation wall to stabilize the foundation. Our installation crew started the job by demoing the necessary area of drywall in order to access the foundation wall. PowerBraces were then installed, which consist of steel I-beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. A SmartJack was also installed to support the floor joist system. Concrete was then poured to create the auxiliary wall. 

After the concrete dried, the crew looked over the work, cleaned up the space, and performed a final walkthrough with the homeowner. The wall is now stabilized and can be added on in the future if the homeowner so chooses to finish the basement.
