Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Durham, New Hampshire had been experiencing sinking and uneven floors. With concern that the situation could worsen, they reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions for a permanent solution.

One of our Design Specialists came out to conduct a free inspection of the home. Upon completion of the inspection, our Design Specialist recommended installing SmartJacks. SmartJacks are similar to Lally columns, but are able to provide better support to the home, and are also adjustable. The SmartJacks are installed by inserting a galvanized steel plate into the foundation on top of a sturdy base of crushed stone. Then, the steel post is attached to the plate, and also connected to a supplemental support beam. The system is then cemented in place.

With the system in place, the proper support is given to the home. This levels out floors and eliminates the bouncy feeling in floorboards. This homeowner can now have peace of mind that his floors are permanently stabilized!

This home on a crawlspace foundation in Hampton, NH was dealing with sagging floors. There were temporary bricks and old beams supporting the entire structure. SmartJacks were installed to replace these failing supports and provide something more stable and permanent.

A condominium on Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, was experiencing a myriad of foundation issues. The foundation was cracking, shifting, and falling back into a marsh. Senior Design Specialist Michael LaMalfa came to the condo and examined all of the units and the surroundings of the building to gauge what repairs the building would need. He proposed that the first action item would be Geolock Anchors along the back wall and sides of the building. 

Crew Lead Spencer Ladd and his team came and drilled through the concrete in each of the 10 units garages to install Geolocks from the back wall to the trench in the garage. A large galvanized metal plate is put on each side of a metal rod that is drilled between the trench and the back wall to hold things in place. 

Over a span of two and a half months, the crew installed a few different foundation securing devices.
