Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Homeowners were under contract to sell their home in Nobleboro, Maine when an inspection report identified a problem with a bowing foundation wall. We repaired the foundation wall by installing StableLock Wall, a new poured concrete wall. StableLock Wall provides proper structural support to the home without having to excavate the old wall, or lift the home, both of which are costly. We pour the new StableLock Wall next to the failing wall to prevent further shifting or bowing. 

Homeowners in Saint Albans, Maine had a cracked wall that was beginning to buckle. Concerned, they reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for expert help. We installed PowerBraces, which are steel beams that are custom fit to stop any further shifting of the wall. PowerBraces can actually help straighten the wall over time. They can be installed quickly compared to other foundation repair options, and are able to be adjusted over time as needed.

Homeowners in Sangerville, ME were under contract to purchase the home when it was discovered that a foundation wall was bowing and needed repairs. The realtor contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems to coordinate the repairs. We installed PowerBraces, a steel beam system custom fit to immediately stop wall movement. PowerBraces can be tightened over time which helps correct the alignment of the failing wall. There is no excavation needed, which helps keep it a less costly repair than other foundation solutions. 

Worried about the supports under their floors, this Sangerville, ME, homeowner wanted to address the issue quickly since this would be their forever home. System Design Specialist Stacy Hafford met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a system that would meet both the homeowner's expectations and the needs of the home, ensuring it would be safe and healthy. New Supplemental Beams were installed, and six SmartJacks were attached. SmartJacks supports can correct problems such as sloping floors, overly springy floors, and out-of-level door frames. SmartJacks are designed to be adjustable over time, providing additional straightening and leveling as necessary. The homeowner is now set up to be worry-free knowing that their home is safe and healthy.

We installed CleanSpace drainage matting on the floor to create a durable base that allows water to flow underneath, directing it away from the basement. The vapor barrier was then installed over it to seal the area, preventing moisture and humidity from seeping through, ensuring a dry and protected basement and foundation.
