TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

We helped homeowners in Windham, Maine who had reached out with concerns that their basement supports were rusting and going to fail. After providing a free estimate, they wanted to move forward with replacing their old lally columns with new SmartJacks. SmartJacks are galvanized steel posts that are custom fit to stabilize the home above. Each SmartJack can support 60,000 lbs, and the zinc coating on the post keeps it protected from rusting. 

Homeowners in Windham, Maine had ongoing moisture issues in their crawl space. We provided a free estimate in 2019, and returned again in 2026 after many more years of dealing with the problem. A family member with asthma had moved into the home, and improving the air quality was a big concern. Moisture in a crawl space can create mildew and mold, and the stack effect brings that air from the crawl space up into the home.

We encapsulated the crawl space with drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal out water. Spray Foam insulation was installed along the rim joists to improve the energy efficiency, as well as prevent moisture. Not pictured, we also installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system. The SaniDry Sedona not only controls the humidity to a healthy level, keeping the crawl space dry, it also has a MERV 8 filter to remove allergens such as mold spores.

We recently helped a Poland, Maine business owner lift and level their sunken concrete slab that had become a tripping hazard inside the store. With a nearly 3" drop the owner wanted to see what could be done to level the floor and keep their shop safe for customers. We used PolyLevel, an environmentally friendly injection that fills the voids underneath the slab to help lift and stabilize the concrete. We were able to lift the slab back to level, removing the tripping hazard.

We recently helped keep the Poland Spring Preservation Society, well...preserved!! They were experiencing water intrusion in the crawl space of one of their buildings, and were concerned it could lead to mold problems. We encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier and drainage matting. CleanSpace seals out moisture, allowing groundwater to flow under the liner, keeping the inside of the crawl space dry. CleanSpace is an inorganic material and is treated so that it prevents mold growth. 

Buckfield, ME homeowners contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their wet basement. We put together a comprehensive plan to waterproof their space so it would be dry and usable. First, we installed drainage matting on the floor and poured a new concrete slab. WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement to channel water to the new TripleSafe sump pump. CleanSpace Wall system was installed on the basement walls as a vapor barrier to seal out moisture and prevent mold growth. Lastly, we added a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system to control the humidity and filter out dust and mold spores.
