Before & After Photos

In Lawrence, MA, a homeowner was experiencing significant structural concerns in their basement, including a fieldstone foundation wall that had bowed inward by as much as three inches, deteriorating mortar and loose stones, and corroded lally columns that were no longer adequately supporting the floor system above. To address these issues, Erickson Foundation Solutions implemented a comprehensive repair strategy designed to improve both structural stability and long-term durability. As part of the solution, polyurethane spray foam was applied to the foundation walls to help insulate the space, reduce moisture infiltration, and minimize efflorescence caused by water vapor migration through the masonry. To permanently stabilize the compromised foundation wall, our team installed the StableLock™ wall system, creating a reinforced structural wall capable of resisting further movement. Additionally, rusted support columns were replaced with the SmartJack® system, restoring proper support to the floor joists and helping to correct floor settlement and sagging. The completed project transformed the basement into a safer, more stable environment while providing the homeowner with confidence that the foundation and support system are protected for years to come.

This commercial property in Lawrence, Massachusetts was experiencing some settlement on the warehouse floor. The owner would like to have the settled part of the warehouse floor lifted back to level. They decided to call EFS for an inspection. 

Design Specialist John Prince inspected the area where the settlement is occurring. After a careful assessment of the warehouse floor, John recommended PolyLevel to level the settled area. 

Crew Lead Nick Melo and his team arrived at the warehouse and injected PolyLevel under the slab and leveled the warehouse floor. 

This homeowner in Lawrence, Massachusetts, purchased their home 8 months ago knowing repairs would have to be made. The first problem they wanted to address was the floors not being level. They called EFS for a free inspection of their floors. The Design Specialist inspected the floors. They recommended installing SmartJacks and Supplemental beams to level and stabilize the floor. 

A crew from EFS installed 4 SmartJacks and 12' of Supplemental beam. They fixed the SmartJacks to the Supplemental beam which is supporting the rafters. The crew pours concrete over the footing of the SmartJacks to lock them into place. 

A homeowner in Lawrence, Massachusetts had stairstep cracks in their foundation and were concerned with the foundation's structural integrity. The homeowner reached out to EFS for a free inspection and our design specialist recommended installing Geolocks to the foundation wall to stabilize the foundation wall. 

In the "before" photo from our recent project in Lawrence, MA, you'll notice the concerning vertical cracks on the corner of the foundation, caused by insufficient footing depth at only 6 inches. This issue prompted the homeowner to seek a reliable solution. Our team expertly installed a Push Pier System to address the problem, stabilizing the foundation and countering further settlement. As seen in the "after" photo, our approach not only closed the cracks but also improved structural integrity and function. We are dedicated to delivering permanent solutions with confidence.
