A homeowner in Methuen, Massachusetts, has lived in their home since 2019. About two years ago they noticed water seeping through the foundation wall. The homeowners called EFS for a free inspection of their foundation to see what they could do. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowner and inspected the inside and outside of the foundation. We recommended installing 157 sqft of SentrySeal to the exterior foundation wall. This will prevent water from seeping through the foundation wall into the basement.
A homeowner in Andover, Massachusetts, had a retaining wall that was leaning in their backyard. Our production team installed Geolocks on the retaining wall to pull the wall back straight.
This homeowner in Andover, Massachusetts, had noticed cracks forming in the wall of their foundation. The cracks had gotten more significant over time due to settlement and had started to leak water. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection and to help determine the best solution. After the inspection was completed by our Design Specialist, we recommended installing 8 Push Piers and FlexiSpan around the front left corner of the home to stabilize the foundation and seal the cracks that were allowing water into the basement. The piers were the ideal permanent solution, ensuring no further settlement would occur.
This homeowner from Andover, Massachusetts recently bought a home without an inspection. Now, he is making investments to fix up his home. Adding stability to his structure is of great importance. The floors above the garage are bouncy and there are slight signs of sinking. This homeowner understood that it was important to solve the problem before matters got much worse.
Our team noted that the old Lally Column wasn't providing the proper support to the home that was needed. This is why we chose to replace it with a SmartJack. This support system is made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel. This ensures that it won't develop rust or be damaged by pests. SmartJack posts are installed on a sturdy base that prevents further settlement.
This will provide the proper support and stabilization to the home, while fixing the issue of the sinking floors.
In the first photo, notice the old, temporary support columns in an Andover home, causing floors above to sag and threaten the home’s integrity. Our team replaced these with SmartJacks, as depicted in the after snapshot, providing a stable, strong foundation and permanently fixing the issue. This transformation not only secured the home but truly reflects our mission to offer lastingly reliable solutions and a notable customer experience. Witness the Erickson Foundation Solutions difference through this striking before and after.
