Lisbon Falls, ME homeowners reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems because they had major concerns over the structural integrity of their foundation wall. The wall had cracked and shifted over time, with blocks pushing into the space. We installed a StableLock Wall over the affected area. StableLock is a less disruptive and costly way to repair foundation wall issues than the traditional lifting of the home. We pour a new concrete wall directly in front of the failing wall, providing structural support to the home, and preventing the failing wall from continuing to shift or bow. The homeowners can relax knowing their home is safe!
System Design Specialist Peter F. helped these potential homeowners in North Monmouth, Maine who were about to buy a property where a foundation wall was shearing. The cinder blocks were shifting and the buyers were very concerned about the integrity of the wall. We installed PowerBraces, which are steel beams that are custom fit to prevent the wall from any further shifting. Overtime, the PowerBraces can even be adjusted to get the wall back to its original straight position. The buyers can rest easy knowing their investment in the home is secure.
Winthrop, Maine homeowners identified diagonal cracking in their foundation wall that was getting worse with time. They were very concerned about the structural integrity of the home, so they called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Mike M. evaluated the problem and recommended our StableLock Wall system. When we install StableLock Wall, we pour a new concrete wall directly next to the failing wall. Our patented solution has specialized bracing to support the home while also stopping the foundation wall from shifting.
Since purchasing the home four years ago, this Bowdoin, ME, homeowner wanted to address the issues with their foundation and prevent it from failing. System Design Specialist Todd Bernard worked with the homeowner to design a system that would reinforce the foundation wall and prevent any damage to the home. After collaborating, Todd created a system using PowerBrace to stabilize the wall. These steel I-beams will hold the wall in its current position without requiring immediate adjustment. Over time, the PowerBrace System can be tightened to straighten bowing or tilting walls. Now, the homeowner can use their basement for storage without worry, and the health of their home is protected.
