We recently helped homeowners in Center Barnstead, NH who had old fiberglass insulation falling from the ceiling. They wanted to learn their options to keep the basement insulated and comfortable, without facing the same problems again. We installed Spray Foam insulation along the rim joists around the perimeter of the basement. Spray Foam expands as it is applied, filling every gap and crack to create an air tight seal. It immediately improves the energy efficiency of the home. Spray Foam is also water and mold resistant, so it is a great option for below grade spaces.
Northwood, NH homeowners reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help after recent rains turned into a total disaster. They had water coming in from their bulkhead and were frustrated after a night of mopping up a mess. Our System Design Specialist Rick R. met with the owners to create a plan to keep their basement dry.
The main area of concern was the bulkhead, so we installed CleanSpace Wall System inside the area to act as a vapor barrier where needed and channel any additional moisture from the walls to the WaterGuard. WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the bulkhead and basement, along with TrenchDrain in the doorway to the bulkhead. WaterGuard funnels the water to a SmartSump which then pumps it through the new Exterior Buried Discharge line. The Discharge line takes the water far from the home and with the installation of IceGuard, the entire system is protected against ice buildup in the winter. Our homeowners no longer have to worry about spending their time mopping up a mess!
A homeowner from Center Ossippee, NH reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems interested in getting a free estimate for a sump pump to be installed. Our System Design Specialist Rick Russell was able to meet with the homeowner and come up with a plan to install a TripleSafe sump pump along with an exterior discharge line. The TripleSafe includes two Zoeller pumps with an additional Battery Powered Backup pump that keeps the basement dry during a power outage. The TripleSafe drains through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that’s protected against freezing with the installation of IceGuard. With the new sump pump in place the homeowner no longer has to worry about any water issues in their basement.
Homeowners in Center Ossipee, NH contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their musty, damp crawl space. The owners wanted to learn more about encapsulation and how it would help their home. We installed drainage matting on the floor to control the groundwater, along with CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal out moisture. Spray Foam insulation was installed along the rim joists, sealing up the final area of the crawl space. Spray Foam insulation is mold and water resistant, and also provides immediate improvements to the energy efficiency of the home. Now that the crawl space has been encapsulated it will stay dry, preventing mold, water, and musty odors.
We recently helped previous customers for the second time to ensure their basement stayed dry and protected. We originally replace their old, failing sump pump with our SuperSump pump system. The SuperSump can remove over 2,000 gallons of water per hour! Oftentimes a sump pump alone may not keep a basement entirely waterproofed. We returned to this home to install WaterGuard, our patented perimeter drainage system, to ensure all moisture coming into the basement was getting captured. Once water is in the WaterGuard drainage system, it is channeled directly to the SuperSump to be removed from the home.
