Before & After Photos

Over time, a support beam in this Dixmont, ME, home began to rot, causing the floor to become uneven. The homeowner, who had lived in the home since the 1980s with no plans to move, decided to fix the problem and called TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Alan Noyes met with the homeowner and spent time in the crawl space evaluating the damage before sitting down to design a system specifically for this home. Since the support beam was rotting, it needed to be replaced. Alan decided that the best solution for the home would be a new supplemental beam with four SmartJacks. Once installed in the crawl space, SmartJack supports can correct issues such as sloping or overly springy floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames. The floors are now stable, and the homeowner no longer has to worry about further damage to the structure of the home.

TC Hafford Basement Systems helped Rockland, ME homeowners with their failing foundation wall. Their old rock wall was cracking and bowing, allowing water into the basement constantly. The homeowners were using their shop vac daily and could not keep up with the water intrusion. We installed a new StableLock Wall in front of the failing foundation wall. StableLock is a poured concrete wall that stops the old wall from further shifting or bowing, and provides proper stability to the home. It is less costly and intrusive than traditional methods of foundation repair, which often involve excavation and lifting of the home. 

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!

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!

An East Millinocket homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems wanting help with their crumbling and failing old fieldstone foundation wall in their basement. Our System Design Specialist Craig Ziegenbein met with the homeowner and determined that StableLock Wall System would be the best solution.. The conventional approach involving house lifting, removal of the compromised wall, and subsequent pouring of a new concrete wall proved excessively disruptive and financially burdensome. Harnessing cutting-edge concrete forming and shoring techniques, StableLock not only fills voids but also reinforces existing walls, resulting in a seamless, resilient wall that encapsulates the superior attributes of a freshly constructed basement wall.

Preserve both your home and your finances with the transformative potential of StableLock!
