Before & After Photos

The SmartJack support system was installed to replace the old support system that had failed to properly support the floor, leading to sinking and sagging. This new system ensures stable and reliable support, preventing further structural issues and restoring the floor's level and stability.

Over time, a support beam in this Dixmont, ME, home began to rot, causing the floor to become uneven. The homeowner, who had lived in the home since the 1980s with no plans to move, decided to fix the problem and called TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Alan Noyes met with the homeowner and spent time in the crawl space evaluating the damage before sitting down to design a system specifically for this home. Since the support beam was rotting, it needed to be replaced. Alan decided that the best solution for the home would be a new supplemental beam with four SmartJacks. Once installed in the crawl space, SmartJack supports can correct issues such as sloping or overly springy floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames. The floors are now stable, and the homeowner no longer has to worry about further damage to the structure of the home.

Bangor, ME basement had bulging walls that concerned the homeowners, so they contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. We installed StableLock Wall, a poured concrete wall that goes directly over the failing wall to prevent further shifting or bowing. StableLock provides structural support to the home, and is much less costly and disruptive than traditional foundation repairs that would involve lifting the home. The homeowners are happy knowing their home is secure for many years to come!

An East Millinocket homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems wanting help with their crumbling and failing old fieldstone foundation wall in their basement. Our System Design Specialist Craig Ziegenbein met with the homeowner and determined that StableLock Wall System would be the best solution.. The conventional approach involving house lifting, removal of the compromised wall, and subsequent pouring of a new concrete wall proved excessively disruptive and financially burdensome. Harnessing cutting-edge concrete forming and shoring techniques, StableLock not only fills voids but also reinforces existing walls, resulting in a seamless, resilient wall that encapsulates the superior attributes of a freshly constructed basement wall.

Preserve both your home and your finances with the transformative potential of StableLock!

We repaired a bowed and cracked block foundation wall using the PowerBrace Wall System. This system stabilizes the wall by anchoring heavy-duty steel I-beams to the floor joists above and the floor below. Over time, it can even help straighten the wall, restoring its structural integrity without the need for invasive excavation.
