A realtor contacted us after their potential buyers had a home inspection that revealed a foundation wall was bulging in and needed to be addressed. We installed a StableLock Wall, which is our patented design to help repair walls exactly like this one. StableLock Wall is a new concrete wall poured adjacent to the failing wall, preventing the original wall from further shifting. We use specialized bracing to keep the home supported and safe. StableLock can be installed with no major excavation or lifting the home, making it a less costly and more convenient option for homeowners.
York, Maine homeowners were experiencing sloping, sagging floors in their living room. We installed a new supplemental beam with SmartJacks, which are zinc-coated steel posts. SmartJacks will never rust, and they are custom fit to the home to provide immediate lift and leveling of the floors above. They can be tightened over time and adjusted as the house continues to settle.
Homeowners in Ogunquit, ME had failing and crumbling foundation walls made of old field stone. They called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their crawl space. We installed StableLock Walls to stop any further shifting from the original walls. StableLock is a poured concrete wall that does not require excavation or lifting of the home, keeping it a cost effective and less intrusive option for homeowners.
Homeowners in Kennebunk, Maine had previously dealt with an issue where their pipes froze and burst, saturating their flooring and carpet on the first floor. The water damage from that event weakened their support beams, and caused the first floor to sag. We installed SmartJacks with a supplemental beam to keep the home properly supported. SmartJacks are made of galvanized steel so they won't rust over time. We can tighten and adjust SmartJacks to lift and level the floors above, keeping them supported and back in their original position.
We helped homeowners in Mexico, Maine who had a wall that was collapsing in from the bottom. Hydrostatic pressure had caused the bottom of the foundation wall to blow out, and rocks and dirt were crumbling into the basement. We installed our StableLock Wall repair system to keep the home protected. To complete the repair we pour a new StableLock Wall directly next to the failing wall, preventing it from shifting any further. We do not have to complete any major excavation, keeping it a less costly and disruptive solution. In this case we utilized pouring a footer for the StableLock Wall to keep it secure, protecting the foundation for years to come!
