Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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!

Homeowners in Stockton Springs, Maine reached out for help with their 1800's foundation. A foundation wall was bulging, causing horizontal cracking along the wall. Horizontal cracks are a red flag for structural issues as they are often a sign the wall is shifting from hydrostatic pressure. To stabilize the wall we installed PowerBraces, which are galvanized steel beams custom fit to support the wall. The PowerBraces not only support the wall, they can be adjusted over time to help straighten the wall back to its original position.

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.

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!

A Bangor, Maine home was under contract to sell but an inspection showed bowing of a foundation wall. The original walls are made up of stones and bricks. We poured a new StableLock Wall to support the home and prevent any further issues with the failing wall. StableLock is a great foundation repair option because it does not involve lifting the home or major excavation. We pour a new concrete wall abutting the old wall, updating the appearance of the basement and stabilizing the home.
