TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A Freeport, ME homeowner was tired of battling water leaking into their basement and causing issues. They reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Mike M. met with the homeowner to give a free estimate on the needed repairs. They came up with a plan to keep the basement dry and usable all the time.

WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter and connected to a new SuperSump Plus pump. WaterGuard captures and channels water to the SuperSump, which then drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup with IceGuard. CleanSpace Wall System was installed to act as a vapor barrier where needed and channel any additional moisture from the walls to the WaterGuard. Finishing out the full waterproofing system was the installation of a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The SaniDry Sedona drains directly to the SuperSump, which allows the basement to be kept at a safe humidity level all of the time without the homeowner having to empty a bucket of water to keep it running. 

Our Freeport homeowner is now free from basement headaches! They can enjoy using their space and keeping their belongings dry.

A Freeport, ME homeowner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate to fix their basement water issues. System Design Specialist Michael M. met with the owner and created a plan to keep their whole basement dry and usable space.

We installed CleanSpace Wall System as a vapor barrier, and to channel any moisture to the WaterGuard. CleanSpace Wall System is bright white, easy to clean, and will never discolor. WaterGuard is installed along the perimeter of the basement to funnel water to the brand new SuperSump Plus pump. The SuperSump removes water through an exterior discharge line away from the home. Lastly, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control the humidity and moisture in the space.

When one of the walls in their basement began to bow and crack, this Fayette, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to solve the problem before it got worse! We set them up with a free estimate where our sales representative was able to explain to the homeowner, in detail, just how we could seal these cracks and prevent more cracks from forming in the future. Once our installation crew arrived at the home, they got started on sealing the cracks right away. To install FlexiSpan seals over each crack, a primary layer of sealant was first applied within the cracks. A thin foam pad was laid along the cracks over the first layer of sealant. To finish the seal, a second layer of sealant was applied over the top of the foam core, creating FlexiSpan seals covering each crack. These seals benefit from the foam core by being able to contort to any slight changes in the wall, maintaining their water-tight seal. Next, to prevent future bowing of the wall, PowerBrace beams were attached to the floor and spaced out along the problem-wall. These beams were then tightened against the wall using their adjustable fixtures anchored to the joists above the basement.

With the cracks sealed and their wall locked back to its original position, this homeowner will no longer need to worry about any moisture or structural problems developing in their basement. The FlexiSpan seals & PowerBrace supports will protect this basement for years into the future!

The homeowner was concerned by the consistent build-up of water around their furnace and other areas of their basement. They wished to have a dry basement all the time, so with the help of System Design Specialist, Daryl Quinn and a TC Hafford production team, their problem has been permanently fixed.

Looking for a way to keep any and all moisture out of the space below their home, this Bailey Island, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to see just what we could do for them. After receiving their free estimate, they gave our crew the go-ahead to begin work on the permanent solution they were looking for. First, in order to create a vapor barrier over the exposed earth, a Drainage Matting was laid across the floor and a CleanSpace liner was utilized to encapsulate the entire interior of the crawlspace. This vapor barrier will block any future moisture leaking into the space before it can reach the interior of the crawlspace. This blocked water will flow through channels built into the bottom of the Drainage Matting to where it can most easily drain back into the ground without causing more problems for the homeowner. In order to expediate the water-removal, a TripleSafe sump pump was installed in the floor of the space as well. This device contains three separate pumps each working to keep this crawlspace dry year-round. The while the primary and secondary pumps work using power from the home, the third pump operates on a backup battery to ensure even during storms harsh enough to knock out power, the water-removal process continues.

These waterproofing measures will ensure this homeowner won’t need to suffer from any side effects of moisture build-up in their crawlspace in the future. The vapor barrier & TripleSafe installations will ensure this space remains dry & healthy for years to come!
