TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

We installed SmartJack support posts in the customer's basement to stabilize and lift the sagging floor. First, we excavated small areas for the footings, poured concrete to create solid bases, and let them cure. Then, we placed the adjustable steel posts on the footings and secured them to the floor joists above. Finally, we adjusted the posts to provide the necessary support, leveling the floor and restoring stability.

We encapsulated a Kennebunkport, Maine crawl space with our two-step system, including drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier. Drainage matting controls the ground water that can seep in through the dirt floor, while CleanSpace seals out moisture from the crawl space. When moisture can get into the crawl space it can cause rot or mold on the wooden support beams and floor joists, posing structural problems for the home. We helped these homeowners protect their house for years to come!

Since 1967, this Arundel, ME, homeowner has lived in their home, and over time they have noticed their floors sagging more and more. With braces rotting and not wanting the problem to get worse, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems to book a free estimate. System Design Specialist John Wright met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a system that would meet the needs of the home and keep the homeowner safe.

The floor above needed to be braced and supported to level the floor and prevent sagging from happening in the future. SmartJacks were installed where needed with the addition of a new Supplemental Beam. SmartJacks can correct problems such as sloping and overly springy floors and out-of-level door frames. Because of the design of SmartJacks, they can be adjusted overtime as needed to compensate for changes in the home. SmartJacks are galvanized for corrosion resistance and can be used with the CleanSpace system if an area is plagued with high moisture or water issues. Now that the SmartJacks are installed, the homeowner is able to have a level floor without it feeling like a trampoline, and their home is no longer at risk of wall cracks or unsafe living conditions.

A Kennebunkport, ME homeowner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for crawlspace help. Their old insulation was failing, it was consistently damp and falling away from the home. System Design Specialist Mike P. created a plan to remove the old fiberglass insulation to be replaced with SprayFoam Insulation on the rim joists and walls. SprayFoam acts as both an air and moisture barrier, filling hard to fit nooks and crannies to create and well buttoned up space. We also installed a SmartSump pump system to help with the removal of any water that may come through the floor.
