Before & After Photos

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!

North Vassalboro, ME homeowners contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their sinking floors and crawl space worries. We discovered a cracked and broken support beam in the crawl space under their home. We installed new supplemental beams supported by SmartJacks to lift and stabilize the failing floors. 

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.
