Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Somersworth, Massachusetts, had some cracks in their foundation that they are concerned about. One year ago the home had the main beam replaced, and since then they have seen cracks in the foundation. Our team installed PowerBraces and SmartJacks into the basement to add support to the home. 

The owner of this old barn in Somersworth, NH knew they had to take action to save the old fieldstone foundation from crumbling, as well as repair the sagging floor joist system. Our team of specialists proposed and designed solutions for both concerns and permanently fixed the problems for the owner. 

For the collapsing stone and brick foundation walls around the perimeter, our team supported them with an auxiliary, poured concrete wall system, complete with reinforced steel and rebar components. When it comes to field stone foundations, a lot of times this is the only solution that does not involve completely lifting the structure and pouring new foundation all together. 

Once the old foundation walls were stabilized, our crew then replaced the failing lally column supports throughout the crawlspace area with our steel SmartJack supports. These new columns have large steel bases installed over large concrete or engineered fill footings, ensuring the weight load is properly distributed, as well as removing the chance for further settlement. 

This property owner now has peace of mind knowing their old barn has a solid foundation, allowing them to preserve the structure above and keep it standing for years to come.

In the before photo, you'll notice the sagging floors that had our homeowner in Rollinsford, NH, reaching out for help. Concerned about the integrity of their home, they knew it was time for a permanent fix. Enter our solution: replacing inadequate temporary jacks with 6 robust SmartJacks in the dirt crawl space, as seen in the after photo. This not only stabilized the floors but remarkably achieved a half-inch lift, securing their home's structure for the future. Remarkably simple, reliably strong.

This homeowner in Portsmouth, New Hampshire needed to install new lally columns into their basement.
