TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

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!

Beals, ME homeowners contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their wet and leaking basement. We poured a new slab along with slab WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard helps channel any water to the brand new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup for protection if they lose power. The TripleSafe drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup with IceGuard. CleanSpace Wall System was installed to act as a vapor barrier where needed and channel any additional moisture from the walls to the WaterGuard. SprayFoam insulation was installed on the rim joists keeping cold air out during the winter, making the space more comfortable, and saving the homeowner money on their energy bill.

Homeowners in Whitneyville, Maine had settling, sagging floors and wanted to learn their options for repair. We installed SmartJacks with supplemental beams. SmartJacks are zinc-coated steel posts that are protected so they do not rust like lally columns. They are custom fit to provide ample support to the home, and we can adjust them to lift the floors back to level. SmartJacks can continue to be tightened over time as needed.

A Vanceboro, ME homeowner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems because they had water seeping into their basement. Our System Design Specialist Craig Z. met with the owner to give them a free estimate on repairs.

Around the perimeter walls of the basement, WaterGuard was installed to channel the water to a TripleSafe Sump Pump with an UltraSump Battery Back-Up. The inclusion of the UltraSump Battery Back-Up is important to keep water out of the basement even during power outages, which tend to be very common in Maine during storms. Once the water gets to the TripleSafe Sump Pump, it has to go somewhere. A discharge line is connected and fitted with IceGuards to prevent freezing and then the line is buried. Water is taken away from the home where it is no longer a problem. To keep the discharge line from being clogged, a LawnScape Outlet is fitted to the end of the pipe to prevent anything from entering the discharge line. To take care of any humidity in the basement, a Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier is set up with an additional line attached to the TripleSafe Sump Pump so the homeowner doesn't have to go into the basement to empty buckets of water. 

System Design Specialist Craig Z. met with a Vanceboro, ME homeowner to give a free estimate on repairing their leaky basement issues. We installed the BrightWall system which acts as a moisture and vapor barrier, and is easy to clean and never discolors. The BrightWall channels any moisture to WaterGuard which is installed around the perimeter of the basement, funneling water to a new TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup. It drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line. Lastly we added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier which drains into the TripleSafe for easy water removal. Our homeowner has a new bright and dry basement!
