Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Laconia, New Hampshire was experiencing some sinking in the front of their lakefront home. They decided to call Erickson Foundation Solutions for a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Paul Magowan arrived at the home and inspected the foundation. Paul recommended that EFS install some SmartJacks to the front of the home to stop the home from sinking. 

Crew Lead Spencer Ladd and his team arrived at the home and installed the SmartJacks to support the front of the home. 

This homeowner in Laconia, New Hampshire was experiencing their walkway start to crack. Then, in the winter, the cracks would create frost heaves and make the cracks larger. The homeowner decided to call Erickson Foundation Solutions about a free inspection. 

Design Specialist Jason Vachon came to the home and inspected the concrete. He found the two cracks that were heaving and also he found that the front edge of the concrete was slowly sinking. Jason proposed that the EFS crew inject PolyLevel under the concrete to lift the front edge of the concrete and then the team would seal the cracks in the concrete with Nexus Pro.

Crew Lead Nick Melo and Installation Specialist Tyler Oslizlo came to the home and lifted the front of the concrete walkway and then sealed the two cracks with Nexus Pro.

This new homeowner recently inherited the family home that she grew up in. When she purchased the home from her dad, he told her that the floors are sagging on the main level. She likes to entertain people so she sometimes has many people in her home. To make sure that the home can withstand the added weight, she decided she wanted someone to come to look at the home. She researched companies that repaired sagging floors and decided to call EFS for a free inspection. 

Crew Lead Scott Crandall and his team installed 4 SmartJacks under one of the main beams in the basement. The team was able to reduce the sag in the floor and add the extra support that the homeowner needs to entertain her friends and family. 

A homeowner in Laconia, New Hampshire, lives in an 1850s home and has concerns about the support posts in the basement. Our production team installed two SmartJack XT under the main beam in the basement.  

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.
