Before & After Photos

This home in Leominster, MA had sagging floors and a dirty, dusty crawlspace. The floors and beams were stabilized with SmartJacks, and the dirt floor in the crawlspace was covered with Cleanspace vapor barrier.

The potential buyers of a home in Bennington, New Hampshire, are to have the home inspected for potential issues. The inspector flags the barns as a potential issue. The potential buyers called Erickson Foundation Solutions about an inspection and a solution. The Design Specialist from EFS recommended installing SmartJacks to stabilize the barn. The potential buyers pursue the home and end up purchasing the property. After the home was purchased, they called EFS to schedule an installation for the SmartJacks. 

This homeowner in Hillsboro, New Hampshire, purchased their vacation home in late 2022. Upon purchasing the home they had an inspector come to look at the property and they recommended replacing the existing concrete pilings. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their home. Our Design Specialist met with the owners of the home and recommended replacing the existing pilings under the home with Helical Piers.

A homeowner in Deering, New Hampshire purchased their home over 26 years ago. Recently they insulated their crawlspace and found the main beam in the crawlspace was sagging. They called EFS for a free inspection of their crawlspace and our Design Specialist recommended installing SmartJacks and Supplemental Beams into the crawlspace to add support to the floor system. Our team installed 13 SmartJacks and over 70' of Supplemental beam to stabilize the floors and eliminate the sag in the beam. 

A homeowner in Hillsborough, New Hampshire had been experiencing sinking floors in their home. In an attempt to support the structure, the homeowners put concrete blocks under the support beam. This unconventional technique did not work, so they turned to Erickson Foundation Solutions for a professional and permanent solution.

After a thorough inspection, Design Specialist Jason Vachon recommended installing SmartJacks and encapsulating the crawl space with CleanSpace. This proposal would uplift and stabilize the home, while also providing a dry crawl space. Our installation crew started by putting the SmartJacks in place. This consisted of placing the steel plates on crushed stone to create a sturdy base, attaching the steel beams to those plates, and then attaching those beams to the supplemental support beam that was installed and leveled. With the SmartJacks in place, the team could then move forward with encapsulating the crawl space with CleanSpace. This vapor barrier was applied to the entire crawl space. Finally, our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was put in place.

This solution by our team delivers stability to the entire home and a dry and insulated crawl space. The benefits of these features include leveled floors, protection from insects and critters, a comfortable living space, and better air quality. The homeowner really enjoyed the result.
