Before & After Photos

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!

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. 

Homeowners in Nobleboro, Maine contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their cracked foundation wall. Concerned about the integrity of the structure, they wanted to be sure their home was safe and the foundation would not get worse. We installed PowerBraces along the crack on the interior of their basement walls. PowerBraces are steel posts that are custom fit to the space, and can be tightened over time, sometimes helping the wall return to its original straight position. PowerBraces prevent further cracking or shifting, and require no excavation, keeping them a cost effective foundation repair solution.
