Before & After Photos

This Richmond, ME, homeowner was worried about the supports in his basement after seeing their dry wall beginning to crack. Not willing to let the problem get worse, they booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems, and System Design Specialist Lou DiStasio worked with the homeowner to protect their home. A Supplemental Beam was built, and SmartJacks were installed where needed. SmartJacks are constructed of galvanized steel and can be adjusted over time to prevent the floor above from sagging. SmartJacks are a permanent solution to sagging and bouncy floors and can be installed in crawl spaces or basements. With the floor above stabilized and protected from sagging, the homeowner can live in their home confident that their floors are supported properly.

A homeowner in Farmingdale, Maine contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their failing foundation wall. They wanted the space to be safe and to stay dry so they could store their belongings without water damage. The block wall was leaking and starting to bow. We installed our patented StableLock Wall, which is a new concrete wall poured next to the failing wall to stop any further movement. We use specialized bracing to keep the home properly supported and safe. 

We helped homeowners in Madison, Maine who had a bowing foundation wall that was getting worse over time. They were concerned the wall would completely collapse, putting their home in jeopardy. We poured a new StableLock Wall against the failing wall. StableLock is our patented system that has special bracing to support the home and prevent the original wall from shifting further. We can install StableLock Wall without any major excavation or lifting the home, saving money and reducing disruption to the homeowners.

This Madison, Maine basement had sagging floors from the home above due to a heavy kitchen remodel. The homeowners noticed their floors were getting worse and wanted to find a way to protect them. We installed SmartJacks, which are galvanized steel posts custom fit to the home. The protective coating on the posts prevents them from rusting over time. SmartJacks not only stabilize the home and floors, they can be adjusted to lift and level the floors back to their original position. Each SmartJack can support 60,000 lbs of load, providing ample support to the home.

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.
