Before & After Photos

When a new homeowner in Boxborough, MA, spotted sagging floors, they reached out to us, showing us the poorly supported structure beneath their home. In the before photo, check out the old lally columns struggling to do their job. We stepped in with our reliable solution: SmartJacks. These sturdy support systems, evident in the after photo, promise a solid fix to ensure a level, stable home. Trust us to transform your basement and secure your home’s foundation just like we did here.

This crawlspace had some light plastic laid out over the exposed soil, which had become dirty and useless over the years. A new homeowner moved in and wanted to clean up the space. Additionally, a structural engineer informed the owner the beams and posts supporting the structure were in severe disrepair, and so needed to be stabilized and/or replaced. Erickson Foundation Supportworks installed a number of SmartJacks and enclosed the area with CleanSpace Encapsulation System. There were several large rocks sticking up out of the soil which could not be removed from the crawlspace, and so the CleanSpace product does not appear to be perfectly flat in some places.

The bump addition on this home in New Boston was settling over time. It was supported by 3 concrete pillars, all of which had failed and were sinking. Our team proposed and installed 3 EZ Post helical piles to replace the concrete pillars. The EZ posts are permanent and will not settle.

This homeowner in New Boston, New Hampshire was experiencing water entering their basement through the bulkhead. Design Specialist John Prince came to the home and suggested waterproofing the bulkhead. Crew Lead Nick Carelli and his team came to the home and installed a waterproofing system on the bulkhead. They installed a waterproof barrier around the concrete bump-out that the bulkhead is resting on to ensure that no water can enter the basement through the bulkhead anymore. Then the crew installed a new bulkhead. 

This homeowner was concerned with her sagging floors, caused by old wooden beams and columns failing in the basement. Erickson proposed and replaced several columns, with our permanent SmartJacks, which can even be adjusted overtime if need be.
