Before & After Photos

Approximately five years ago, a homeowner in Laconia, New Hampshire observed that the kitchen cabinets were detaching from the wall. As time progressed, the situation deteriorated, with increasing gaps and cracks appearing in the drywall. Concerned about her home's structural integrity, she contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions for assistance.

Our Design Specialist, Jason Vachon, recommended the installation of our GeoLock wall anchor system alongside an auxiliary foundation wall to address the deteriorating foundation. This method aims to secure the inward-bowing fieldstone and brick wall, while also preventing further deterioration. The GeoLock anchors were placed by extending rods through the foundation wall into an area with stable soil. After attaching the anchors to these rods, steel plates were secured to the inside of the foundation wall and subsequently tightened to fortify the wall against additional inward movement.

The crew began constructing the auxiliary wall by installing SmartBraces along the interior foundation wall for additional stabilization. These SmartBraces were then encased within a cement wall, forming the auxiliary wall that provides substantial strength and support to both the foundation and the home.

With the implementation of this solution, the homeowner can rest assured that the structural integrity of her forever home is permanently secured.

A homeowner in Boston, Massachusetts, had recently finished their basement. They found that water from rainstorms was directed towards the home's foundation by their concrete deck. The EFS production team injected PolyLevel under the concrete deck to pitch the concrete slabs away from the home and help protect their basement from water damage.

The original deck supports on this home in Sandown were sinking and shifting. The original concrete sono tubes they were installed on were unstable due to shifting soils. These failing supports were replaced with EZ Post helical piers. Installed at depths of 8', these new supports will not shift or sink.

This homeowner in Sandown, New Hampshire had noticed a vertical crack in their foundation that shows on the inside and outside of their foundation. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Kenny Calabrese inspected the interior and exterior of the home. Kenny inspected the crack. Kenny recommended installing Push Piers and PolyLevel.

Crew Lead Ed Nadreau and his team installed 6 Push Piers. Two Push Piers around the crack and 2 more on either side of the chimney.
