Before & After Photos

This Richmond, ME, homeowner was worried about the supports in his basement after seeing their dry wall beginning to crack. Not willing to let the problem get worse, they booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems, and System Design Specialist Lou DiStasio worked with the homeowner to protect their home. A Supplemental Beam was built, and SmartJacks were installed where needed. SmartJacks are constructed of galvanized steel and can be adjusted over time to prevent the floor above from sagging. SmartJacks are a permanent solution to sagging and bouncy floors and can be installed in crawl spaces or basements. With the floor above stabilized and protected from sagging, the homeowner can live in their home confident that their floors are supported properly.

Bath, ME homeowners contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help when they realized their floors were sagging. After exploring the issue in their basement below, they also found rusted lally columns and crumbly walls. To give support to the floors above, as well as the failing walls, we installed StableLock Wall system. StableLock is a poured concrete wall that abuts the failing wall, preventing it from bowing or shifting further. We can install the StableLock wall with minimal disruption, compared to the traditional method of having to lift the home. StableLock is also much more cost effective since we don't have to do any lifting. The homeowners are happy to have flat floors and know that their home is protected for years to come!

Buyers who were under contract to purchase a Fairfield, Maine home had an inspection completed, which revealed one of the foundation walls was cracked and settling. Debris was visibly crumbling off the wall, and cracks were scattered all across the length of the wall. We poured a StableLock Wall in front of the failing wall to provide proper support to the home. Rather than the disruption and high cost of excavating and lifting the home, we can stop a failing wall by simply pouring a new one adjacent to it. 

TC Hafford Basement Systems helped Winslow, ME homeowners with their cracked and failing foundation. We installed PowerBraces to provide immediate support to the foundation. PowerBraces can also be tightened over time to not only stop the failing wall, but straighten back to its original position. The PowerBraces are made of zinc-coated steel so they will never rust. The owners have confidence their home is structurally sound!
