Before & After Photos

The owner of a building in Manchester, New Hampshire, was recently hit by a car, and the foundation was damaged. The owner called EFS for a free inspection and our Design Specialist recommended installing an Auxiliary Wall against the foundation wall. Our installation team installed an Auxiliary Wall and Rim Joist Insulation to the foundation wall that was damaged by the vehicle. 

A homeowner in Manchester, New Hampshire, had built a shed in their backyard about 3 years ago. The shed stores their BMW sports car and the soil under the slab has eroded. The homeowner called EFS for a free inspection of the slab under the shed. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowners and looked at the slab. They recommended installing Helical Piers and PolyLevel under the slab to stabilize and fill the void. Our team installed the project as designed and the team was able to level the slab and fill the voids so the homeowner could store their car in the shed again. 

A new owner of an old home in Manchester, New Hampshire, had just moved in this summer and was planning on using the basement for storage. The basement was a combination of dirt and concrete. They were placing items down there while they were moving in and noticed the floors were being held by a few different types of supports. (lally columns, brick supports, 4x4s, and 6x6s) The homeowners could see that additional supports were installed over time. To make sure that their floor system was fully supported they called EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowners looked at the floor system and determined that a few sections of the basement weren't fully supported. We recommended installing 3 SmartJacks and a supplemental beam into the basement to stabilize the floor system. 

A homeowner in Manchester, New Hampshire, purchased their home in August 2022. Recently they have noticed some bounciness in their floor system. They called EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowner and recommended adding SmartJacks into the basement to stabilize the floor system. 

Our Installation team installed 5 SmartJacks into the basement to stabilize the floor system. 

This home in Manchester, NH was dealing with very wet soil on the property due to a wet, rainy year. The saturated soils on the exterior of the foundation walls were pushing against the concrete and causing it to crack and bow into the basement. The project included rebuilding a section of wall, installing a waterproofing sump pump system, and reinforcing a section of foundation wall with PowerBrace wall anchors. 

This before and after features a view of the wall anchors installed in one section of the basement. The wall cracks are visible, and were caused by soils pushing against it with incredible force. With the PowerBrace supports in place, the concrete wall is permanently stabilized and will not bow in any further. The water is now also diverted to a sump pump system, which will help relieve the pressure in the soil.
