Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Many homes in Maine are built on old fieldstone wall foundations, and this one in Calais, Maine was no exception. Hydrostatic pressure was causing a wall to bow in, and the homeowners wanted to find a solution before they experienced total wall failure. We installed our StableLock Wall system, where we pour a new concrete wall with patented bracing to stabilize the home. The new wall is poured directly next to the failing wall, preventing it from shifting any further. By doing this, homeowners do not have to undergo any major excavation or jacking up their home, which is not only disruptive but quite costly. Most StableLock Wall projects are complete in 2-3 days, with minimal disruption to the homeowners.

Homeowners in Robbinston, Maine reached out for help with their foundation wall that was bowing and cracked. After providing a free estimate, we recommended installing PowerBraces to support the home. PowerBraces are custom fit steel beams that are attached to the floor joists to support the home and prevent further shifting of the wall. PowerBraces can be adjusted over time to even straighten the wall back to its original position!

This cinder block foundation wall in Eastport, Maine was failing and the homeowners needed help with repairs before it completely gave way. The wall was cracking and bowing in, often due to hydrostatic pressure. System Design Specialist Alan N. met with the owners and reviewed our StableLock Wall system as an option to repair their wall. StableLock is our patented poured concrete wall with specialized bracing that is installed next to the failing wall. The new wall provides stability to the home, while stopping the original wall from any further movement. With this system, the homeowners do not have to deal with any major excavation, so it is less disruptive and costly to repair.
