TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

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. 

Homeowners in Saco, ME needed help with their basement that has cinder block walls letting water in. To waterproof the space, we installed WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system. WaterGuard collects water and channels it directly to the TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is the top of the line sump pump that has two Zoeller pumps, as well as a battery back up in the event of power loss. Water is pumped away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line that is protected with IceGuard so it does not freeze up in the winter. The homeowners no longer have to worry about cleaning up from a wet mess.

Have you ever walked into a room of your home and felt the floor bounce? What about cracks in the walls? Along with cracked tiles and uneven spaces under baseboards, these are all signs that your home’s floor is sagging and that structural issues are developing. This Saco, Maine homeowner noticed these issues and wanted to take care of the problem as soon as possible. System Design Specialist Brian Donnelly worked with the homeowner to rectify the issue and protect their home from any further damage. They worked together to create a solution that would fix the sagging issues and protect the crawl space from outside elements.

To address the sagging floors, SmartJacks were installed with a Steel Supplemental Beam. SmartJacks replaced the current supports, as seen in the photos. The homeowner opted to encapsulate the crawl space with CleanSpace and Spray Foam. With the system installed, outside elements are kept out, and the crawl space can be used for storage without the fear of moisture causing any damage. Groundwater will be removed by the installed SmartSump and taken out of the crawl space through a buried discharge line. To round out the system, the homeowner also decided to purchase a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep humidity at a safe level, meaning they will have peace of mind moving forward, knowing that their crawl space is protected and the structural integrity of their home is intact.
