Before & After Photos

This Richmond, ME, homeowner was worried about the supports in his basement after seeing their dry wall beginning to crack. Not willing to let the problem get worse, they booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems, and System Design Specialist Lou DiStasio worked with the homeowner to protect their home. A Supplemental Beam was built, and SmartJacks were installed where needed. SmartJacks are constructed of galvanized steel and can be adjusted over time to prevent the floor above from sagging. SmartJacks are a permanent solution to sagging and bouncy floors and can be installed in crawl spaces or basements. With the floor above stabilized and protected from sagging, the homeowner can live in their home confident that their floors are supported properly.

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!

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!

Winslow, ME homeowners needed help when they realized their cracked foundation wall was also slanting away from the home. Not knowing how much a repair like this would cost, they reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. Rather than needing to replace and pour a new wall which would be costly and disruptive, we recommended push piers as a repair solution. Push piers help transfer the weight of the structure to deep bedrock underground, passing the weak soils that caused settlement. It is a quick installation compared to other repair options, and will keep the foundation walls in the correct position to support the home. 

North Vassalboro, ME homeowners contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their sinking floors and crawl space worries. We discovered a cracked and broken support beam in the crawl space under their home. We installed new supplemental beams supported by SmartJacks to lift and stabilize the failing floors.
