TC Hafford Basement Systems helped Winslow, ME homeowners with their cracked and failing foundation. We installed PowerBraces to provide immediate support to the foundation. PowerBraces can also be tightened over time to not only stop the failing wall, but straighten back to its original position. The PowerBraces are made of zinc-coated steel so they will never rust. The owners have confidence their home is structurally sound!
Winslow, ME homeowners needed help when they realized their cracked foundation wall was also slanting away from the home. Not knowing how much a repair like this would cost, they reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. Rather than needing to replace and pour a new wall which would be costly and disruptive, we recommended push piers as a repair solution. Push piers help transfer the weight of the structure to deep bedrock underground, passing the weak soils that caused settlement. It is a quick installation compared to other repair options, and will keep the foundation walls in the correct position to support the home.
Homeowners in Waterville, Maine reached out for help with their shifting foundation wall. They were very worried about the structural integrity of the home and wanted to know their options for repair. Traditionally when foundation walls are failing they often need to be excavated and have a new wall poured, which is expensive and disruptive. Our StableLock Wall system can provide proper support to the home while stopping the original wall from failing without the cost and headache of a major excavation. We pour a new concrete wall directly next to the failing wall, using patented bracing to support the home.

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.
