Before & After Photos

We recently helped homeowners in Bath, Maine with this crawl space that had sinking floors above. Moisture in a crawl space can cause great damage over time, leading to mold or wood rot of the supporting beams for the home. Once moisture has weakened the beams, the floors above will sink and sag. We installed SmartJacks with a new supplemental beam to support these floors. SmartJacks are custom fit galvanized steel posts that can even be adjusted to lift the floors back to level.

Bath, ME homeowners contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help when they realized their floors were sagging. After exploring the issue in their basement below, they also found rusted lally columns and crumbly walls. To give support to the floors above, as well as the failing walls, we installed StableLock Wall system. StableLock is a poured concrete wall that abuts the failing wall, preventing it from bowing or shifting further. We can install the StableLock wall with minimal disruption, compared to the traditional method of having to lift the home. StableLock is also much more cost effective since we don't have to do any lifting. The homeowners are happy to have flat floors and know that their home is protected for years to come!

Bath, Maine homeowners experienced cracking in their hardwood floors due to the floors starting to sag. To support the sagging floors we installed SmartJacks, custom fit steel posts that support and lift the home above. SmartJacks are zinc-coated so they never rust, and they can be adjusted over time as needed to continue to keep the floors level.

We helped homeowners with this Bath, Maine basement that had already had one wall collapse, and another was bowing. We installed StableLock Wall to support the home and stop the bowing wall from shifting any further, as well as SmartJacks and a new supplemental beam to provide proper support to the home and floors above. StableLock Wall is our patented foundation repair solution for bowing and shifting walls. We pour a new concrete wall with specialized bracing next to the failing wall, so there is no excavation needed. This keeps StableLock a less costly and less disruptive solution to protect your foundation walls. SmartJacks are galvanized steel beams that are custom fit to support and even lift your floors above. The galvanized coating protects the beams from rusting, and each SmartJack can support over 60,000 lbs of weight. Moisture had caused the original beam to begin to rot, so our new supplement beam and SmartJacks will keep the home properly protected.

We provided a free estimate to homeowners in Augusta, Maine that lived in a house built in the 1850's and had noticed shifting foundation walls. The owners were very concerned about the walls potentially collapsing and wanted to get it repaired ASAP. We installed StableLock Walls in two places where they had failing walls. StableLock Wall is a new concrete wall with patented bracing that keeps the home stable. We install the new StableLock Wall directly next to the failing wall, preventing further shifting or collapse. We can install StableLock without any major excavation or needing to lift the home, so it is a less costly option than traditional methods.
