TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Clogged and dirty gutters are not only unsightly but can lead to damage not only to your roof but your basement as well. Ineffective gutters allow water to run off of a home’s roof, eroding the soil below, which can eventually damage the foundation, giving water the chance to penetrate its way into the basement. This Dover, NH, homeowner’s gutters were old and ready to be replaced, so they called Gutter Shutter by TC Hafford Basement Systems for help.

System Design Specialist Josh Hamel met with the homeowner for a free estimate to show what the Gutter Shutter Seamless Gutter system would look like on their home. Gutter Shutter is formed and cut on the homeowner’s property, resulting in a seamless gutter that is sized perfectly for the home. Gutter Shutter can be cut as short or long as needed, and with the added protection of the Gutter Guard, any organic debris such as pine needles and leaves slides right off the gutter without the chance to cause clogs. A clog-free gutter ensures the system works year-round, and the homeowner’s foundation and basement are protected from water damage. The homeowner can also keep their ladder in the barn until it’s time to hang Christmas lights since they will no longer need to clean their gutters ever again.

This Dover, NH, homeowner had an issue: whenever it would rain, a stream would form in their basement that would lead to their old sump pump. Worried about mold and damage, the homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Rick Russell drove out and met with the homeowner to work with them on creating a waterproofing system that would be specific to their home.

WaterGuard Perimeter Drain was installed in the necessary areas of the home where water was coming in and was connected to a SuperSump Sump Pump system. WaterGuard is buried under the slab floor and channels water to a sump pump. WaterGuard features ports that allow for easy cleaning and service if necessary. The SuperSump takes the water and pushes it out of the basement through a Buried Discharge Line that gets the water away from the home where it can’t cause anymore issues. New England can get cold during the winter, so IceGuard was installed on the Discharge line to prevent ice buildup, keeping the waterproofing system working all year-round without troubles. Now the homeowner has a dry basement, and they no longer have to worry about mold damaging their basement, and their family and home will be healthier.

Homeowners in Dover, NH had a DIY sump pump system and wanted to upgrade it to a pump that also had a battery backup. We replaced their pump with a TripleSafe sump pump, which has a battery backup pump to protect against power loss, as well as two Zoeller pumps. The TripleSafe system can handle over 6,000 gallons of water per hour in big flooding events.

High humidity in a basement will lead to mold and mildew, creating unhealthy living conditions and can potentially ruin a homeowner’s belongings. No one deserves to have their family breathing in bad air, and this Dover, NH, homeowner began to grow concerned as their old dehumidifier was not cutting it anymore. The homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems with the goal of replacing their old dehumidifier and keeping their basement humidity at a safe level.

The homeowner opted to have a new SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier installed to keep the air dry and their family healthy. The SaniDry Sedona is capable of removing 95 pints of water from the air a day and filters mold spores, dust mite droppings, and other particles from the air. The SaniDry is more energy efficient than the average dehumidifier, costing less to run, and is set it and forget it. Unlike the typical dehumidifier that fills up a bucket that needs to be dumped regularly, the SaniDry Sedona drains to a discharge line, meaning the homeowner never needs to check on it and the basement humidity stays at a safe level all the time. The homeowner is happy again knowing their basement is protected and their family will stay healthy as mold is no longer a concern and musty odors are taken care of with their new SaniDry Sedona.

We helped homeowners in Dover, NH who were preparing to renovate their basement after experiencing water damage, and wanted to have interior drainage installed. We installed WaterGuard perimeter drainage coupled with a new TripleSafe sump pump. The leaking cinder block walls were addressed with CleanSpace Wall system, which is a vapor barrier that seals out moisture and directs it behind the liner down to the WaterGuard drainage. The TripleSafe sump has two cast iron Zoeller pumps which take the water collected from the WaterGuard and pumps it away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line.
