A homeowner in Epsom, New Hampshire, has lived in their home for the past 30 years. 2 years ago the homeowner's son-in-law noticed some lateral movement in the foundation that had caused some cracking in the foundation. The son-in-law is supposed to inherit the home once his mother-in-law is no longer fit to take care of the property and he wanted to make sure the home was in good standing order for when that time came.
They called EFS for a free inspection of the foundation and our Design Specialist recommended installing Geolocks to the foundation of the garage to prevent further movement.
A homeowner in Chester, New Hampshire was experiencing cracking, sinking, and water drainage issues on their concrete surface. This homeowner decided to call Erickson Foundation Solutions about a free inspection.
A Design Specialist from EFS came out to the home and inspected their concrete surface. The Design Specialist recommended that the homeowner have EFS install PolyLevel and NexusPro to alleviate the cracking and water drainage issues.
Crew Lead Nick Melo and his team came to the home and first injected PolyLevel under the sinking concrete slab. Next, the crew made sure the water can drain properly. Finally, they used NexusPro to seal all of the cracks in the concrete.
In the future, the homeowners have a plan to use EFS to resurface the concrete to make it look more appealing.
This homeowner was concerned with the sagging floors in his home. The support columns in the basement beneath the floor joists were very narrow and not properly supporting the weight of the home above. Per the city of Everett's building requirements, our Erickson Foundation team replaced the unstable posts with new lally columns in various locations throughout the basement. Some of the new columns also included a top plate of a steel I-beam to assist with distributing the weight over several feet rather than just at single points.
The homeowner of this property had been living here for about a year, and knew he had to get around to fixing his sagging floors. The support columns throughout the basement were not to code, and the beam and floor joists were sagging in several places. Steel I-beams and SmartJacks were installed to replace all these columns, raise the floor slightly in places, and permanently stabilize the floors.
This homeowner in Malden Massachusetts had a problem where their chimney had started tilting away from their home due to poor soil conditions beneath it. They hired our Erickson Foundation Supportworks team to install push-piers to rectify the issue.
Michael Biedrzycki was the design specialist that came out to the home and took a look at the chimney. He proposed push-piers to support the footing of the chimney and to straighten it as well. Jon Provost was the crew lead on this project. He and his team installed the piers and permanently stabilized it's footing.
