TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Limestone, ME were having issues in their home resulting from the high humidity in their crawl space. We installed our two-step encapsulation system to address the failing crawl space. First we put down drainage matting to control the groundwater, and then we install CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal out moisture. A SmartSump pump was installed to remove groundwater. We also added a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system to filter the air and control the humidity level in the crawl space, which will help the home above. 

Homeowners from Orient, Maine contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their damp and humid crawl space. They had an old plastic liner sitting on top of the dirt floor, but wanted to update the crawl space to a full encapsulation with a vapor barrier, and they were also interested in a dehumidifier. We installed our two-step encapsulation system, which includes drainage matting and a CleanSpace liner. Drainage matting helps control the groundwater, and the CleanSpace vapor barrier is installed on top to encapsulate the space, sealing out moisture. CleanSpace is an inorganic material so it has the added benefit of preventing mold growth. To address the humidity, we installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system. The SaniDry Sedona can remove 100 pints of water per day and keeps the crawl space at a healthy humidity level to avoid moisture problems. 

Owning a home with a regularly flooding basement, this Forest City, ME homeowner decided it was time to have some done to put an end to this flooding once and for all. To achieve this goal, they hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and our crew got to work providing this homeowner the permanent solution they were looking for. To trap water leaking in through the foundation before it could reach the surface of the basement floor, WaterGuard piping was buried within the floor perimeter. The WaterGuard will capture the moisture and guide it to the newly installed TripleSafe sump system to remove the water from the basement. The water is pumped from the home through a PVC discharge line where it passes through an IceGuard pipe segment on the exterior of the home. This piece of specialty piping protects against blockages in the line such as ice and releases any built-up water before it is able to reach back into the interior of the basement to cause more flooding.

Now when it rains, this homeowner can expect their basement to remain dry with their new WaterGuard piping system in place. These waterproofing measures will keep this Forest City, ME basement dry for years into the future!

This homeowner living in Princeton, ME was in dire need of a waterproofing system below their home. The leakage had gotten so bad, the homeowner couldn’t even walk on their basement floor without covering their feet with water. After seeing us on their TV and contacting our Wells office, we were able to set this homeowner up with a free estimate. When our installation crew got to work on the basement, they began by excavating the old concrete slab to replace it with new one. The new slab came equipped with WaterGuard piping laid around the exterior edge, but beneath the surface. These pipes will collect any moisture entering through the foundation from now-on and guide the collected water to the TripleSafe sump pump installed nearby. The TripleSafe will now force any water out of the out of the home through a PVC discharge line. Lastly, a CleanSpace wall system was put in surrounding the basement interior. This will brighten up the space as well as providing a barrier against any moisture that might enter through the walls of the basement.

With proper waterproofing below their home, this homeowner can not make use of their basement again. The WaterGuard piping will keep this floor water-free for years down the road!
