Bowing Wall on Raised Foundation

This home in Watertown, MA had a raised foundation in the back. The back-filled soils on the inside of this wall were putting pressure outward and forcing it to bow and crack. GeoLocks and Push Piers were used to stabilize the wall from bowing and settling.

Supplemental Support Added to Basement, Watertown, MA

A homeowner in Watertown, Massachusetts, had just moved into their home and they had their home inspected by a home inspector. The inspector recommended having the sill plate looked at by someone. The homeowners call EFS for a free inspection of their sill plate. EFS inspected the sill plate but found nothing to be concerned with. But upon examining the basement our Design Specialist found that one of the beams in the basement appeared to be sagging. We recommended installing a SmartJack under the sagging beam in the basement. 

Crack Seal, Windham, NH

This homeowner in Windham, NH had a crack in their foundation wall, which had been patched over the years, but still let in moisture. They needed a more permanent fix. We sealed the crack with a polyurethane injection, which expands inside the crack as a foam and reaches far into the cravice to prevent the water from coming through. The surface of the crack is then coated with an epoxy to add an extra layer of protection. This two part system guarantees no further moisture will come in through the foundation crack.

Sinking Lake Home on Piers, Windham, NH

This seasonal cottage on Cobbetts Pond in Windham, NH was suffering from sagging floors, settlement, and unstable soils. Water was constantly running down a hill toward the home and the lake just beyond it. As water flowed through the soil beneath the home, the concrete piers and wood posts settled over time. The home needed more permanent stabilization if it was going to last.

 

Erickson Foundation Supportworks installed EZ Post helical piers around the perimeter of the home. SmartJack columns were also installed beneath to replace concrete piers and rotten wood posts.

Concrete Wall Stabilization, Windham, NH

This boathouse on Cobbetts Pond in Windham was built in the 1940's. The foundation had several cracks which were progressively getting worse over time, and a permanent solution was needed to fix it. GeoLocks and Helical Piers combined to help stabilize the lateral movement of the wall, as well as the settling.
