TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

In the before photo from our recent project in Bethel, ME, water was seeping through the floor, threatening the integrity of the finished basement. To resolve this, our team at TC Hafford Basement Systems installed the reliable BrightWall system, TripleSafe Sump Pump and WaterGuard drainage system. As you can see in the after photo, these products work together to effectively channel water away from the foundation, preventing further issues. This combination ensures the basement remains dry year-round. Homeowners can now use the space with confidence, knowing it is protected from future water damage.

Bethel, ME homeowners experienced a wet basement every time it rained, and had concerns over a crack in their foundation wall. They called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate to waterproof their basement. We first installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard is a drainage system that collects water and channels it directly to the TripleSafe sump pump system. The TripleSafe then pumps water away from the home out through an exterior buried discharge line. Finally, BrightWall was added to the basement walls as a vapor barrier. It is durable, easy to clean, and never discolors, giving the basement a fresh, bright appearance. 

The Bethel Town Office building had water intrusion issues, causing mold in their basement. They contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems to help waterproof the basement. We poured a brand new slab floor, complete with WaterGuard perimeter drainage system to capture any incoming water. A TripleSafe sump pump was installed and connected to the WaterGuard so any water would be channeled directly to the TripleSafe to be pumped away from the building. The TripleSafe sump pump is the top of the line pump system that has an extra pump and a battery back up to protect against pump failure and power loss. We also installed CleanSpace Wall System on the basement walls to serve as a vapor barrier, sealing moisture out and directing any water behind the CleanSpace liner directly to the WaterGuard drain.

Bethel, Maine homeowners were experiencing ongoing moisture issues in their basement, which in turn led to failing floor joists. The floors above were sagging and needed support. We installed SmartJacks, which are zinc coated steel posts custom fit to immediately lift and level the floors above, providing more than enough support for the home. SmartJacks will never rust like old lally columns. To address the moisture, we also installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system. The SaniDry Sedona controls the humidity to a healthy level, and also has a MERV8 filter to handle allergens like dust and mold spores. 

System Design Specialist Sam helped homeowners in Bethel, Maine who experienced mold in their crawl space. After having the mold professionally remediated, they wanted to be sure it would not return again. Foreman Jesus and crew worked to encapsulate the crawl space with drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace seals moisture out, keeping the wooden structure of the home dry and protected from mold, mildew, and wood rot. Foreman Travis installed Spray Foam insulation at the end of the project, covering the crawl space walls and rim joists. Spray Foam not only improves the energy efficiency of the home, but it is also mold and water resistant.
