Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Raymond, New Hampshire was experiencing sagging in the middle of their home. The home is sitting on block supports. The homeowner would like to have the floors in their home be level again. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Michael LaMalfa inspected the home and the supports underneath. Michael recommended installing SmartJacks underneath the home. 

Crew Lead Ed Nadreau and his team installed 4 SmartJacks and a supplemental beam in the middle of the home to reduce the sag in the middle of the house.  

A homeowner in Raymond, New Hampshire, lived in a home built in 2004. They recently purchased the home in June 2022, and the previous owners mentioned that the septic tank wasn't buried deep enough into the ground at the front of the house. This caused the front foundation wall to experience high pressure resulting in an inward lean as well as a horizontal crack in the foundation wall. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free foundation inspection. Our design specialist Jason recommended installing PowerBraces to the foundation wall and using Crack Injection to seal the horizontal crack. 

Our team installed 18 10' PowerBraces to the front and back foundation wall and 38' of Crack Injection into the cracks on the foundation wall. 

This homeowner in Lexington, Massachusetts recently purchased her childhood home. She is planning on doing manageable renovations to increase the value of the home. She had completed a couple of renovations already but now has started working on the garage. Water from the driveway has been entering the garage and has caused some damage. She decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Brian Swindell inspected the foundation and garage of the home. Brian discovered that there is some void below the slab in the garage that he recommend filling before attempting to lift the slab. To help stop the water from entering the garage Brian recommended installing Trench Drain at the mouth of the garage with a downspout. 

Crew Lead Nick Melo and his team lifted the mouth of the garage to level and then filled the void under the slab. After the PolyLevel was injected, the team installed the Trench Drain at the mouth of the garage.  

This homeowner in Lexington, MA was looking for a contractor to make some repairs in the crawlspace beneath their home. The floors were sagging and a little creaky, and so the support columns needed to be replaced and upgraded to something more substantial. They were also concerned with the dirt floor in the crawlspace, as this was effecting the air quality in their home. 

Our team reinforced the floor system and support beams with our patented SmartJack system, steel support posts with wide bases and adjustable brackets. Once the SmartJack columns were in place and the beams were permanently stabilized, the dirt floor of the crawlspace was then also covered with Cleanspace vapor barrier. This encapsulation system will help control humidity levels, improve air quality (prevents dust and mites), and create an all around cleaner crawlspace for the homeowners. 

The transformation of the dirty crawlspace into a clean area was exactly what the homeowner wanted and needed, and they were thrilled with the results. 

After moving into their newly purchased home, these owners wished to make several upgrades and improvements. One of the first items they needed to fix were their uneven, sloping floors. The basement was full of temporary jacks and wood columns, which were not properly supporting the floor. This before and after shows the failing column supports and the SmartJack (warrantied) which replaced them.
