A homeowner in Hollis, New Hampshire, had purchased their home from their parents about 10 years ago. Before they purchased the home they knew that the foundation under the garage was bowing. Since owning the home they have seen the issue get worse and decided they needed to seek a professional opinion. They called EFS for a free inspection of the home. Our Design Specialist inspected the foundation wall and recommended removing the existing wall and building a new masonry block wall.
A homeowner in Hollis, New Hampshire, recently moved into their home and found that some of the supports in the basement appeared to be rotting. The homeowner called EFS for a free inspection and our design specialist recommended replacing the three wooden supports with 3 SmartJacks. The new supports are made of galvanized steel which will prevent rusting.
When our team first visited this Hollis, NH home, the garage's upper floor was noticeably cracking – a clear sign of failing support beneath. As you can see in the before photo, the old, deteriorating support posts just couldn't hold up any longer. Our solution? We installed SmartJack support systems, showcasing a brilliant after scene. These steel support beams not only solved the problem but ensure long-lasting stability. Now, the floors above are as secure as ever – a remarkable transformation indeed.
In Hollis, NH, notice how the unsupported temporary columns created a fragile environment, resulting in sagging floors and compromised safety. To address this, we implemented the SmartJack® System. Our specialists installed precise galvanized steel columns to stabilize the basement beams, ensuring solid support. The durable footings effectively distribute the home's weight, bringing back peace of mind with reinforced structural integrity. As visible in the after photo, the heavy-duty system restored the home's floor to its intended position, eliminating bounce and providing long-lasting stability.
This home in Goffstown, NH had a cinder block foundation on which one side was severely bowing in due to pressure from exterior soils. At the bottom of the wall, the wall was bowed in 3-4 inches. After PowerBrace installation, the wall was almost completely flush and level, and completely stabilized.
