Before & After Photos

We were excited to help these Gorham, Maine homeowners after seeing how badly their floors were sagging. The support beam below was weakened over time by moisture getting into the wood. We installed SmartJacks and a new steel supplemental beam. Each SmartJack can hold 60,000 lbs of weight, offering more than enough support to the home. SmartJacks can also be adjusted to lift the beam and floors above, returning them to level.

Saco, Maine homeowners learned they needed more support for their floating beam from a recent home inspection. We installed a SmartJack steel post to keep the beam stabilized. SmartJacks can handle 60,000 lbs of weight each. We cut them to a custom size, and they can be tightened over time to adjust for any settlement.

Westbrook, ME homeowners had major concerns over their bowing foundation walls, so they called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. We installed StableLock Walls to repair the failing areas. StableLock is a concrete wall that is poured in front of the failing wall to prevent further shifting, and offer proper structural support to the home. Traditional foundation repairs involve lifting the home which is invasive and costly, but with StableLock Walls we can complete the repairs with no lifting of the home. 

This Falmouth, ME, homeowner has noticed their basement wall bowing in over the year and a haft that they have lived in their home. Not sure what to do, but knowing that they wanted to take care of the issue soon, they reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help and a free estimate. System Design Specialist Michael Penna met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a stabilizing system that would prevent the wall from further issues. PowerBraces were installed on the bowing wall to stabilize it and protect the home from any damage. The PowerBrace system is constructed of zinc-plated steel beams and is custom fit to the basement wall height. PowerBraces are secured tight against the basement wall with brackets anchored to the basement floor and floor joists above. With the PowerBrace system, no invasive drilling or digging is necessary, and the homeowner can be home during installation.

Portland, Maine homeowners had sagging floors on their first floor, so they called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help supporting their home. Moisture will weaken wooden beams over time, sometimes causing big issues like mold or rot. To help keep the home stable and level the floors, we installed SmartJacks. SmartJacks are zinc-coated steel posts that are custom fit to the space, and can be adjusted and tightened over time. The zinc-coating prevents the posts from rusting, so if moisture is present the SmartJacks will not be affected.
