TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

New homeowners in Saco, Maine had concerns about water coming in at the sill of the home, and they didn't want it to turn into mold. We installed Spray Foam insulation on the walls and rim joists of the crawl space. Not only does Spray Foam help improve the energy efficiency of the home, but it is also water resistant, so it acts as a vapor barrier. Spray Foam expands as it is applied, so it can easily fill all gaps and voids, creating an air and moisture tight seal along the sill.

The son of Saco, ME homeowners reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems after moving his parents' water tank and realizing they had a leak from a cracked basement wall. They met with System Design Specialist Peter F. to address their needed repairs.

Foreman Noah F. and installer Joe M. worked to place 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. The TripleSafe 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 cracked walls to the WaterGuard. Now our homeowners and their son can relax knowing the basement is protected!

We recently helped insulate this Saco, Maine basement. The owners wanted the space to feel more comfortable, so they reached out to get a free estimate. We recommended Spray Foam insulation for their walls and rim joists to create an air tight seal, keeping cold air out. Spray Foam is water and mold resistant, so it's a great choice for basements compared to traditional fiberglass insulation which gets damp and moldy. We are a registered vendor with Efficiency Maine, so many projects like this are also eligible for rebates to help with the cost! 

We helped homeowners with their failing foundation wall, which was bowing and had shifting cinder blocks from hydrostatic pressure. We installed StableLock Wall, our patented foundation repair solution that keeps your home safely supported without needing any major excavation or jacking up the home. We pour a new concrete wall with specialized bracing adjacent to the failing wall to stabilize your home and stop any further shifting of the failing wall. Most StableLock Wall projects are completed in 2-3 days, and without any excavation. 

We turned this damp Saco, Maine crawl space into a dry space with our two-step encapsulation system. The dirt floors were allowing moisture to seep in, causing the space to stay damp, which can lead to wood rot and mold growth. First we install a layer of drainage matting, which helps control the groundwater. We then install our CleanSpace vapor barrier liner on top, which seals out moisture. CleanSpace is also made from an inorganic material, so it is mold resistant.
