Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Groveland, Massachusetts wants to redo his kitchen but first noticed that his floors were sloping. Before he commits to investing in the kitchen, he wants to make sure the floors are properly supported in order to protect his investment.

Our Design Specialist, George Gouthier, recommended adding SmartJacks to stabilize the floor and support the home. These SmartJacks are similar to Lally columns but offer more support. They are installed by placing a galvanized steel plate in the foundation. The steel post attaches to plate and the above supplemental support beam. These posts are then cemented in place.

Now that the posts are installed, floors are stable and level. This homeowner can now confidently invest in his kitchen without experiencing issues down the road.

This customer contacted Erickson Foundation Supportworks due to their sagging floors. They were looking for a solution to permanently stabilize their floor by replacing the failing posts within their crawlspace. Several SmartJacks were installed and the problem was solved.

This homeowner in Center Barnstead, New Hampshire needed to have their supports looked at in their crawlspace. They had issues with their floors sagging so they were interested in calling Erickson Foundation Supportworks to see what they could do. 

Design specialist Paul Magowan confirmed the supports would need to be replaced, so he recommended they use SmartJacks in their crawlspace. Josh Provost was the Crew Lead on this project. He and his team installed the SmartJacks by digging out a hole under where each support would go and installed each over reinforced, engineered fill. The engineered fill is designed to spread the amount of weight the SmartJack is holding. The solution eliminated the sagging in the floor.

This home in Center Barnstead, New Hampshire, had some foundation issues that were found during an inspection of the home. EFS was contacted to provide a solution and our Design Specialist recommended installing Geolocks to support and straighten the cracked and bowing cinder block wall. Our team proposed and installed 11 Geolock wall anchors, which fully stabilized the wall against any further bowing or movement.

A potential homeowner looking in Kingston, New Hampshire found a house that they wanted to purchase but needed someone to replace the columns in the basement. 

Our specialist provided a thorough inspection of the basement supports and suggested having SmartJacks installed to replace the old wooden, temporary columns that were currently in place. Our production crew removed the old supports and replaced them with Smart Jacks, permanent supports to stabilize the floor system above. 

This potential homeowner was happy to know that the structure was now secured and that they wouldn't have more structural issues in the future.
