Before & After Photos

This homeowner was concerned with the sagging floors in his home. The support columns in the basement beneath the floor joists were very narrow and not properly supporting the weight of the home above.  Per the city of Everett's building requirements, our Erickson Foundation team replaced the unstable posts with new lally columns in various locations throughout the basement. Some of the new columns also included a top plate of a steel I-beam to assist with distributing the weight over several feet rather than just at single points.

The homeowner of this property had been living here for about a year, and knew he had to get around to fixing his sagging floors. The support columns throughout the basement were not to code, and the beam and floor joists were sagging in several places. Steel I-beams and SmartJacks were installed to replace all these columns, raise the floor slightly in places, and permanently stabilize the floors.

This homeowner in Malden Massachusetts had a problem where their chimney had started tilting away from their home due to poor soil conditions beneath it. They hired our Erickson Foundation Supportworks team to install push-piers to rectify the issue.

Michael Biedrzycki was the design specialist that came out to the home and took a look at the chimney. He proposed push-piers to support the footing of the chimney and to straighten it as well. Jon Provost was the crew lead on this project. He and his team installed the piers and permanently stabilized it's footing.

This homeowner in Malden, Massachusetts had an issue where the original brick and wooden porch supports of this 1890 Victorian home need to be repaired. The beams are slipping off of the piers in some places and would like for Erickson to come and look at them.

Design Specialist Kyle Jamerson came to the home and gave a full inspection of the porch. He decided that the porch would need new perimeter supports along with some additional support towards the middle. He proposed that the perimeter supports be 5 EZ posts and the interior supports be 4 SmartJacks. 

Crew Lead Spencer Ladd and his team came to the home and followed the plan Kyle proposed. They installed the SmartJacks first to add support to the middle of the porch. After the SmartJacks, they installed all 5 of the EZ posts. 

The homeowner was very happy with the project.

The support posts in this basement were old wooden columns. Over time they were not stabilizing the floor system above properly. The failing posts were replaced by Erickson Foundation Solutions with SmartJacks.
