Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This Bangor, ME, homeowner loved their home that was built in the 1880’s but knew that they would have to fix the foundation as soon as they purchased the home. Over time, the foundation began shifting and falling in. Worried about their home and the safety of their family, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Craig Ziegenbein worked with the homeowner to design a StableLock Wall System that would fix their foundation without the need of lifting their home.

The standard process to fully repair a failing foundation would be lifting the home while a new foundation can be installed. Using modern concrete forming and shoring methods, StableLock is able to fill in the voids of the existing foundation and stabilize it without the need for the family to ever leave their home. StableLock is more affordable and leaves the homeowner with a fresh, smooth wall with all of the best qualities of a new foundation.

A Bangor, Maine property was under contract to sell when a home inspection revealed a bowing foundation wall. We repaired the foundation wall by installing a StableLock Wall. We developed StableLock Wall to help homeowners whose walls are bowing or crumbling but not yet at total failure. We pour a new concrete wall next to the failing wall to prevent further bowing or shifting, while keeping the home stable. It is less costly than lifting the home and excavating. 

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!

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.

We repaired a bowed and cracked block foundation wall using the PowerBrace Wall System. This system stabilizes the wall by anchoring heavy-duty steel I-beams to the floor joists above and the floor below. Over time, it can even help straighten the wall, restoring its structural integrity without the need for invasive excavation.
