Before & After Photos

Houlton, ME homeowners were concerned about their old foundation rock walls that were bowing and crumbling, so they reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. After giving a free estimate we established a plan to install a new StableLock Wall. StableLock Wall system helps protect failing foundation walls by pouring a new concrete wall in front of the original wall. Rather than traditional lifting of the home, which is expensive, we can pour a new wall with little disruption to the homeowners. 

Homeowners in Whitneyville, Maine had settling, sagging floors and wanted to learn their options for repair. We installed SmartJacks with supplemental beams. SmartJacks are zinc-coated steel posts that are protected so they do not rust like lally columns. They are custom fit to provide ample support to the home, and we can adjust them to lift the floors back to level. SmartJacks can continue to be tightened over time as needed.

We helped keep this Jonesport, Maine home sale on track after a home inspection revealed the beams needed more support. Moisture had weakened the wood, causing the beams to sag. We encapsulated the crawl space with drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal out water. A SmartSump was installed to manage the groundwater, pumping it away from the home. SmartJacks galvanized steel posts add proper support to the failing beams. Each SmartJack can handle over 60,000 lbs and the galvanized coating protects them from rusting.

We recently helped homeowners in Calais, Maine with their newly purchased house. The basement was damp, and that moisture had caused the support beams to weaken over time. Lally columns were rusting, and the floors above were beginning to sag. We installed SmartJacks to properly stabilize the support of the home. SmartJacks are zinc-coated steel posts that will never rust, and are custom fit to level the floors of the home. They can be adjusted over time if needed as the house continues to settle.

Homeowners in Robbinston, Maine reached out for help with their foundation wall that was bowing and cracked. After providing a free estimate, we recommended installing PowerBraces to support the home. PowerBraces are custom fit steel beams that are attached to the floor joists to support the home and prevent further shifting of the wall. PowerBraces can be adjusted over time to even straighten the wall back to its original position!
