A homeowner in Boxborough, Massachusetts, had lived in their new home for the past 3 months. Since they moved in the homeowners have noticed some cracking in their garage and were worried about the garage sinking and causing these cracks. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their garage. Our design specialist recommended installing PolyLevel, NexusPro, FlexiSpan, and Crack Injection into the garage to stabilize it and seal the cracks.
This crawlspace had some light plastic laid out over the exposed soil, which had become dirty and useless over the years. A new homeowner moved in and wanted to clean up the space. Additionally, a structural engineer informed the owner the beams and posts supporting the structure were in severe disrepair, and so needed to be stabilized and/or replaced. Erickson Foundation Supportworks installed a number of SmartJacks and enclosed the area with CleanSpace Encapsulation System. There were several large rocks sticking up out of the soil which could not be removed from the crawlspace, and so the CleanSpace product does not appear to be perfectly flat in some places.
The bump addition on this home in New Boston was settling over time. It was supported by 3 concrete pillars, all of which had failed and were sinking. Our team proposed and installed 3 EZ Post helical piles to replace the concrete pillars. The EZ posts are permanent and will not settle.
This homeowner in New Boston, New Hampshire was experiencing water entering their basement through the bulkhead. Design Specialist John Prince came to the home and suggested waterproofing the bulkhead. Crew Lead Nick Carelli and his team came to the home and installed a waterproofing system on the bulkhead. They installed a waterproof barrier around the concrete bump-out that the bulkhead is resting on to ensure that no water can enter the basement through the bulkhead anymore. Then the crew installed a new bulkhead.
This homeowner was concerned with her sagging floors, caused by old wooden beams and columns failing in the basement. Erickson proposed and replaced several columns, with our permanent SmartJacks, which can even be adjusted overtime if need be.
