Before & After Photos

We helped repair this Swanville, Maine basement that had a bowing wall concerning the potential buyers for the home. We installed StableLock Wall, which is our patented concrete wall system poured next to the failing wall. We use specialized bracing that prevents the old wall from shifting any further, while properly supporting the home to stabilize it. Traditional foundation repairs often involve major excavation and lifting the home, so StableLock is a less costly and disruptive solution!

We met with homeowners in Belfast, Maine who had large cracks forming in their foundation wall and could see the wall was bulging. The owners were concerned about the structural integrity of the home. Horizontal cracking is often a red flag for potential structural issues. When hydrostatic pressure builds up from water against the outside of the foundation walls, the weight of that water can push in on the wall, causing it to bulge and bow, and creating horizontal cracks. We installed StableLock Wall system to keep their home protected. Rather than excavating the old wall and having to lift the home, we can easily go in and pour a new concrete wall with patented bracing against the failing wall. StableLock stops the old wall from shifting further, and keeps the home protected. It is a less costly and intrusive option to install. 

Homeowners in Hampden, Maine had a home built in the 1800's that had old, cracked, stone foundation walls. The owners were concerned about the structural integrity of the home. We replaced their old rusted lally columns and wooden posts with SmartJacks. SmartJacks are zinc-coated steel posts that are custom fit to support the home above. The zinc coating protects the steel so it will not rust. The home now has ample support to keep it stable for many more years to come!

Homeowners in Stockton Springs, Maine reached out for help with their 1800's foundation. A foundation wall was bulging, causing horizontal cracking along the wall. Horizontal cracks are a red flag for structural issues as they are often a sign the wall is shifting from hydrostatic pressure. To stabilize the wall we installed PowerBraces, which are galvanized steel beams custom fit to support the wall. The PowerBraces not only support the wall, they can be adjusted over time to help straighten the wall back to its original position.

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!
