Before & After Photos

We recently helped homeowners in Bath, Maine with this crawl space that had sinking floors above. Moisture in a crawl space can cause great damage over time, leading to mold or wood rot of the supporting beams for the home. Once moisture has weakened the beams, the floors above will sink and sag. We installed SmartJacks with a new supplemental beam to support these floors. SmartJacks are custom fit galvanized steel posts that can even be adjusted to lift the floors back to level.

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!

Bath, Maine homeowners experienced cracking in their hardwood floors due to the floors starting to sag. To support the sagging floors we installed SmartJacks, custom fit steel posts that support and lift the home above. SmartJacks are zinc-coated so they never rust, and they can be adjusted over time as needed to continue to keep the floors level.

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!
