Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Bangor, Maine had a foundation wall causing them great concern for the structural integrity. The wall was bowing in, creating crumbling and cracking, indicating a larger problem. We installed StableLock Wall system, which is our patented solution to repair foundation walls without major excavation or lifting the home. With the StableLock system, we pour a new concrete wall adjacent to the failing wall, and we include specialized bracing. The new wall prevents the old wall from further shifting, while providing support to the home. It is less costly and intrusive than having to excavate and lift the home, making it a smart foundation repair choice!

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.

Homeowners in Lincoln, ME were constantly dealing with water leaking into the basement, which caused their walls to corrode and begin to fail. To waterproof the space we installed WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump pump. The WaterGuard is a drainage system that channels water directly to the TripleSafe to be removed from the home. The corroding walls needed more stability and support, so we installed PowerBraces to straighten the walls and ensure the home maintained its structural integrity.
