TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Walking into your basement and stepping in a puddle is never a good sign. This Gorham, ME homeowner purchased this 1930’s home over 5 years ago and wants to make this their forever home but were nervous about water and the condition of their foundation. Wanting to tackle the issues of the basement, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement System for a free estimate on protecting the health of their home. System Design Specialist Foster Blake met with the homeowner, and they worked together to address all concerns, including the water coming in, the foundation, and mold.

Starting from the ground up, this home needed a new slab. With the old one as cracked and broken as it was, water would come up and form puddles. Before the new slab was poured, Drainage Matting was laid, and WaterGuard Interior Basement Drain was placed around the perimeter of the basement. The WaterGuard is connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump that takes the water and pushes it out of a discharge line, so the water will no longer be an issue. Moisture in the air is still a concern, as high humidity leads to mold growth. To combat moisture, a SaniDry Sedona was installed, maintaining optimal humidity.

The homeowner can live in their forever home without being concerned about the health of their home. It is easy to forget that if you buy a two-story home with a bad basement, then that is 1/3 of your home that cannot be utilized. The homeowner now has the ability to use their basement as they see fit and can finish it without worry.

In Sumner, Maine, a homeowner was dealing with constant water problems in their crawl space and basement. Concerned about rising moisture levels and potential damage, they contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. After assessing the situation, our team recommended installing CleanSpace, a reliable water barrier, to protect against moisture entering the crawl space. We also applied Dr. Energy Saver spray foam insulation to seal air gaps and enhance energy efficiency. The transformation was remarkable. Once plagued by water damage and high humidity, the crawl space is now dry and energy-efficient. The homeowner was thrilled with the outcome, knowing their home is better protected for the future.

In Stratton, ME moisture turned a homeowner's crawl space into a musty mess. Before, this dirt-filled area brewed the perfect recipe for mold! After our team stepped in, we installed the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier that seals water out, and does not allow for the growth of mold or mildew. Notice what we've done - transformed it into a dry, clean foundation that's ready to serve for years to come without a hint of mold! Our expertise offered a breath of fresh air below and set the stage for a healthier, more comfortable home. 

These homeowners in Saco, Maine were dealing with a damp crawl space. They contacted TC Hafford who arrived to help them with their issue. Our System Design Specialist determined that a complete encapsulation would greatly reduce the moisture in the crawl space, and the homeowners agreed. 

Our team of professionals installed a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier Liner, which is specially designed to be a preventative barrier keeping out moisture, humidity, and pests. 

We helped Saco, ME homeowners solve their water problems with our comprehensive waterproofing system. The homeowners indicated water was coming in through a crack in their basement wall. We installed WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system that channels any moisture directly to the new TripleSafe sump pump system. We also added BrighWall panels on the basement walls. BrightWall gives the basement a fresh new look, is durable, and easy to clean. It's moisture resistant and helps keep the basement dry.
