Highlights
- Concrete slab lifting — restored a 35-year-old pad to near-original level
- Careful diagnosis — reviewers cite thorough, patient foundation assessments
- Honest about scope — offered to help find another contractor for out-of-specialty work
- Engineer-founded — led by a licensed engineer with a geotechnical background
Engineered Foundation Technologies is a Lowell-based geotechnical specialty contractor — helical piles, push piles, drilled micropiles, polymer grouting and slabjacking, and earth support work — founded in 2006 by a licensed engineer with a background in geotechnical design and construction, serving commercial, industrial, and residential clients across New England. The handful of reviews describe careful, technical work. A 2022 review describes a sinking concrete pad raised back to nearly the level it was originally poured at, more than 35 years earlier. A separate 2022 review describes a careful assessment of slight foundation settling on one side of a home, with the team stopping by multiple times to evaluate the issue and patiently answer questions. Another 2022 review describes a sunken concrete patio around a pool lifted back into place. A 2023 review describes the crew showing up the same day for a joist issue that turned out to be outside their specialty — and still offering to help find another contractor who could handle it. All five reviews on Google, from 2021 through 2023, are five stars, with reviewers repeatedly describing the team — often named as Rich Porter and Steve — as knowledgeable, honest, and responsive. It's a small written sample for a specialized, engineering-driven trade, but what's there points to careful, technically grounded work on foundation settling and concrete leveling.
