Looking for a way to seal a couple cracks that had opened along the concrete wall in their garage, this Corinth, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to ask about a free estimate. Shortly after they met with our sales representative and reviewed their options, they gave us the go-ahead to begin work on the crack-repair. As soon as our installation crew arrived at the property, they prepared the cracks by brushing them clear of debris using a coarse brush. Once clear, the cracks were covered by an initial layer of sealant. This was quickly covered by a foam pad running the length of each crack. The foam was then covered by a second layer of sealant, completing the FlexiSpan seal over the cracks. The foam core within these seals allows them to bend and remain water-tight against the wall should the concrete walls shift slightly in the future.
With their new seals in place over these cracks, this homeowner Will no longer need to be concerned about water leaking into the garage and polling up on the slab. The FlexiSpan seals will keep this wall water-tight for years to come!
We used slab piers to lift and level the sinking concrete floor. These piers were installed beneath the slab to reach stable soil, providing the support needed to raise the floor back to its original position. The process was efficient and restored the floor's stability and functionality.
Built in the early 1900s, this home was constructed with a rock foundation, which has started to fail in the last five years. Worried about the foundation wall failing, the homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Mark Smith met with the homeowner, where they put together a solution for their failing wall. Together, they decided that StableLock would be the best choice to save their foundation, preventing the homeowner from having to get a whole new foundation. Unlike pouring a new foundation, StableLock doesn’t require a homeowner to raise or leave their home. Using modern forming techniques, StableLock fills voids and stabilizes existing walls to leave a smooth, strong wall with the best qualities of a newly constructed basement wall.
Rock, brick, and stone foundations can be found all throughout the great state of Maine, and if you too have a failing foundation, don’t wait until it is too late. Call TC Hafford Basement Systems and ask about StableLock.

Clogged and dirty gutters are not only unsightly but can lead to damage not only to your roof but your basement as well. Ineffective gutters allow water to run off of a home’s roof, eroding the soil below, which can eventually damage the foundation, giving water the chance to penetrate its way into the basement. This Dover, NH, homeowner’s gutters were old and ready to be replaced, so they called Gutter Shutter by TC Hafford Basement Systems for help.
System Design Specialist Josh Hamel met with the homeowner for a free estimate to show what the Gutter Shutter Seamless Gutter system would look like on their home. Gutter Shutter is formed and cut on the homeowner’s property, resulting in a seamless gutter that is sized perfectly for the home. Gutter Shutter can be cut as short or long as needed, and with the added protection of the Gutter Guard, any organic debris such as pine needles and leaves slides right off the gutter without the chance to cause clogs. A clog-free gutter ensures the system works year-round, and the homeowner’s foundation and basement are protected from water damage. The homeowner can also keep their ladder in the barn until it’s time to hang Christmas lights since they will no longer need to clean their gutters ever again.
