TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Eastport, ME, homeowner was worried that their damp and musty crawl space would eventually lead to health issues if the problem wasn’t solved. With no plan of moving or selling the home, the homeowner also wanted to address the problem of the floors above the crawl space being cold in the winter months. The homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help, and System Design Specialist Craig Ziegenbein met with the homeowner for a free estimate.

Craig worked with the homeowner to design a crawl space encapsulation system that would surpass the expectations of the homeowner and protect the health of the home and their family. CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was laid down and attached to the walls to encapsulate the space, creating an inorganic barrier to protect from moisture and outside elements. A SmartSump was installed to pump groundwater out of the space and through an Exterior Buried Discharge Line. A SmartJack was installed to provide additional support to the floor above, and to finish the system, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to keep humidity at a safe level. Having to regularly empty out a dehumidifier bucket can be annoying, so to prevent the homeowner from having to check often, the SaniDry Sedona is connected to the SmartSump, ensuring all water is pumped out of the crawl space and no bucket ever has to be emptied.

The crawl space is now fully encapsulated, and the homeowner can live and enjoy their home without the concern of a damp and musty crawl space affecting the health of their family and home.

New homeowners in Eastport, Maine were researching their options for a sump pump that could handle the moisture in their crawl space. We installed a SmartSump pump, which is specifically designed for crawl spaces to reduce moisture, remove water, and prevent flooding. The SmartSump features a cast iron Zoeller pump which pumps groundwater away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line.

Homeowners from Eastport, ME were excited for help with their wet basement. They already had sump pump that wasn't keeping up, and they said they would love to not have to worry about the wet basement anymore. We installed a brand new TripleSafe sump pump, the top of the line in pump systems. The TripleSafe features two Zoeller pumps, one that acts as a back up in case of pump failure, or they can work together to handle higher capacity water events. The TripleSafe also has a battery back up to protect against power loss. In addition, we installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system to control the humidity in the basement, and filter out dust and mold spores. Now the homeowners have a dry space and healthier air!

This cinder block foundation wall in Eastport, Maine was failing and the homeowners needed help with repairs before it completely gave way. The wall was cracking and bowing in, often due to hydrostatic pressure. System Design Specialist Alan N. met with the owners and reviewed our StableLock Wall system as an option to repair their wall. StableLock is our patented poured concrete wall with specialized bracing that is installed next to the failing wall. The new wall provides stability to the home, while stopping the original wall from any further movement. With this system, the homeowners do not have to deal with any major excavation, so it is less disruptive and costly to repair.
