A homeowner in Farmingdale, Maine contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their failing foundation wall. They wanted the space to be safe and to stay dry so they could store their belongings without water damage. The block wall was leaking and starting to bow. We installed our patented StableLock Wall, which is a new concrete wall poured next to the failing wall to stop any further movement. We use specialized bracing to keep the home properly supported and safe.
We installed a trench drain in front of the customer's basement door to stop water from seeping in and flooding the basement. We dug a trench, placed the drain with proper slope, connected it to a discharge line, and backfilled the area. This keeps the basement dry and prevents future flooding.
We installed a SuperSump pump system to protect this basement from future flooding by efficiently managing water and keeping it out. This system is designed to handle heavy water flow, prevent clogs, and ensure reliable operation, giving the homeowner peace of mind even during severe weather.
We helped homeowners in Madison, Maine who had a bowing foundation wall that was getting worse over time. They were concerned the wall would completely collapse, putting their home in jeopardy. We poured a new StableLock Wall against the failing wall. StableLock is our patented system that has special bracing to support the home and prevent the original wall from shifting further. We can install StableLock Wall without any major excavation or lifting the home, saving money and reducing disruption to the homeowners.
This Madison, Maine basement had sagging floors from the home above due to a heavy kitchen remodel. The homeowners noticed their floors were getting worse and wanted to find a way to protect them. We installed SmartJacks, which are galvanized steel posts custom fit to the home. The protective coating on the posts prevents them from rusting over time. SmartJacks not only stabilize the home and floors, they can be adjusted to lift and level the floors back to their original position. Each SmartJack can support 60,000 lbs of load, providing ample support to the home.
