TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Kennebunk, ME home was recently purchased, and the homeowner wanted to renovate the home and knew they needed to start in the crawl space. The crawl space had issues with water and moisture making its way in. This can lead to wood rot, mold, and eventually destroying anything that is stored in the area. The homeowner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems and worked with System Design Specialist Ron Bedard to design an encapsulation system that would keep their basement dry.

The first step of encapsulating the crawl space was removing the old insulation and installing CleanSpace with Drainage Matting. Drainage Matting is laid down first to create a barrier between the ground and CleanSpace, keeping it clean and channeling water to the new sump with its dimpled design. CleanSpace is a durable, bright white vapor barrier made of inorganic materials that seals up the area and keeps moisture and critters out of the crawl space. A SuperSump was installed to collect groundwater and pumps out of the crawl space and away from the home through a new Exterior Buried Discharge line. To prevent ice buildup and keep the system running year-round, IceGuard was installed on the discharge line. The homeowner wanted their home to be more comfortable and energy efficient, so SprayFoam insulation was installed along the rim joists and wall surfaces. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona was installed to keep the humidity at a safe level all of the time. Now the homeowner is able to move on with their renovation project knowing that their crawl space is protected and their home is more energy efficient.

A Kennebunk, ME homeowner had contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems years prior for an estimate to waterproof their basement. After holding off on the repairs and dealing with more years of water headaches, they decided to schedule the installation with System Design Specialist Peter F. We installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement and connected it to a new TripleSafe Sump Pump. WaterGuard captures and channels water to the TripleSafe, which features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup in the event of power loss. The TripleSafe drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup with IceGuard.

Kennebunk, ME homeowners reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their leaking bulk head and wet crawl space. We first installed new bulk head doors to prevent future leaks in that space. To protect the crawl space, we encapsulated the area with CleanSpace and drainage matting. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier that keeps moisture out and prevents mold growth. We also added a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system. The SaniDry not only controls humidity in the space, it also filters out dust and mold spores. The air in your crawl space is the air you breathe in your home above, so the SaniDry keeps everything healthy. Lastly, there was an area where the floors above were sagging so we installed two SmartJacks, a galvanized steel post system providing immediate lift and support to the failing area.

Homeowners in Standish, ME had dealt with water intrusion for years and they were frustrated and tired of trying to manage the leaks. We first installed WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system that collects water and directs it directly to the TripleSafe sump pump system. We also added BrightWall panels around the basement, a durable wall system that seals out moisture. BrightWall is easy to clean, and also helps prevent mold growth. 

This homeowner in Mexico, Maine needed a vacation in Mexico after they discovered water coming through the floor of their basement. Wanted to fix the issue, the homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Sam met with the homeowner and put together a plan to keep their basement dry all of the time and make the space usable. To do this Sam designed a full system that would protect the home for its lifetime. 

Starting with some debris removal, the production team installed Drainage Matting and WaterGuard to channel water to a Triple Safe Sump System that will move it far from the house through a buried Discharge Line where it will no longer be an issue. A couple of SmartJacks were added for additional support and once the new Slab is poured, the homeowner will be able to use their basement for the first time.
