TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Sargentville, ME, faced a common issue with their newly purchased home: a wet basement with dirt floors. Moisture problems were causing concern for the home structure and air quality. Our team addressed this by installing a TripleSafe Sump Pump, SaniDry Sedona, WaterGuard, and CleanSpace products, as well as SprayFoam to insulate the area. As you can see in the after photo, these solutions provided a clean, dry basement environment. With our expertise, we ensured lasting protection against water infiltration and improved overall home health.

This Stillwater, ME basement got the complete waterproofing treatment! Before TC Hafford Basement Systems came in, the basement had cracked concrete floors, fieldstone walls that leaked, and no sump pump or dehumidifier. We poured a brand new slab floor complete with slab WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system. WaterGuard funnels water directly to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe has two Zoeller pumps, as well as a battery back up, for full protection against pump failure and power loss. We also added a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air purifier to filter out dust and mold spores, and maintain a consistent humidity in the space. Water from the SaniDry discharges directly into the TripleSafe, and is then removed far from the home through an exterior buried discharge line.

A homeowner from Penobscot, ME reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their 200 year old damp crawlspace. The area was built with a granite foundation, along with a concrete floor that was not pitched properly. The homeowner already had a sump pump but the water was not making it to the pump to be removed. System Design Specialist Stacy H. met with the homeowner to give a free estimate on how to best meet their needs in protecting their crawlspace.

To fully encapsulate the crawl space and keep moisture and critters out, CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed. Drainage Matting is a durable barrier with dimples to help channel water and elevate the CleanSpace, keeping it clean. CleanSpace is a durable, inorganic vapor barrier that gets attached to the walls and seals up the crawl space, keeping moisture out. WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter and connected to a new SmartSump pump. WaterGuard captures and channels water to the SmartSump, which then drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup with IceGuard. 

SprayFoam was installed on the rim joists and walls to insulate the area, keeping cold air out during the winter, making the space more comfortable, and saving the homeowner money on their energy bill. Finishing out the full waterproofing system was the installation of a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The SaniDry Sedona drains directly to the SmartSump, which allows the basement to be kept at a safe humidity level all of the time without the homeowner having to empty a bucket of water to keep it running. The crawlspace now looks and feels 200 years newer! The homeowners can use the space without any further worry of water issues.

A local church in Orland, ME reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their sinful crawlspace. They were constantly battling moisture problems, and were tired of the messy dirt floor. System Design Specialist Craig Z. met with the pastor to review the crawlspace and determine the best course of action.

Having lived in this home for most of their life, this Stonington, ME homeowner thought it was time to finally have their dirt basement properly waterproofed. After speaking with our sales representative about what their options were, they hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to protect their basement from the usual water leakages. To keep water from building up on the floor in the future, a slab Drainage Matting was laid on the dirt floor before a fresh slab of concrete was poured over the floor. Within this new slab, WaterGuard pipes were buried around the outer edge. These pipes will capture any moisture trying to enter the space through the floor in the future and guide the collected water to the TripleSafe sump pump for removal from the home. Finally, a CleanSpace liner was used to encapsulate the walls of the basement. This will both brighten up the space as well as guide any water coming in through the walls down into the WaterGuard for removal.

With a properly waterproofed basement below their home, this Stonington, ME homeowner can now make use of the space without any moisture negatively affecting their property.
