Portland, ME homeowners contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate to waterproof their basement. They were dealing with continual flooding issues and were tired of having to clean up a wet mess. System Design Specialist Stephen C. helped them come up with the best plan to address their water woes.
We installed CleanSpace Wall System which acts as a vapor barrier to keep moisture out. The CleanSpace connects to WaterGuard to help channel any water to the SuperSump Plus system. The SuperSump removes water from the basement through an exterior buried discharge line away from the home.
Portland, ME homeowners met with System Design Specialist Louis D. from TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their crawlspace. They wanted to install a vapor barrier to address their moisture issues. Our team removed all of the old plastic and debris from the crawlspace, as well as the old, damp fiberglass insulation. We installed CleanSpace with drainage matting, an inorganic vapor barrier that attaches to the walls to seal the crawlspace. Our SprayFoam Specialist Travis L. also installed SprayFoam along the rim joists and top of the walls, providing an added air and moisture seal.
After living in their Portland, ME home for three years, this homeowner decided it was time they upgraded from the small sump they got from a hardware store when they moved in. Our crew got to work on their basement by rounding out the existing sump hole and installing a SuperSump system in the floor. This new pump will output at a rate of over 2,600 gallons of water per hour. This water exits the basement through a PVC discharge line where it passes through an IceGuard pipe segment on the exterior of the home. Now the homeowner can be sure their sump will keep their basement floor dry during exceptionally heavy rainfall.
Andrew and his crew did a great job encapsulating this Crawl Space in Portland, ME. Now the homeowner has plenty of storage area that will be protected against outside elements.
While it’s normal to have some fractures in your basement slab, water should not be coming through, and it should not be crumbling. This Portland, Maine homeowner recently moved into their home and knew they needed to address the issue in their basement. System Design Specialist Michael Penna met with the homeowner and put together a system that would protect their home from future water damage and outside elements.
The original slab in the basement was beyond repair, and a new one was necessary. Drainage Matting is laid down to create a barrier between outside elements and the new slab. This protects the new slab and aids in keeping water where it should be. WaterGuard is set around the perimeter of the basement and connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The new slab is poured, and TripleSafe is connected to a buried exterior discharge line that takes any groundwater away from the basement.
Your basement doesn’t have to be the scariest part of your home, and with TC Hafford Basement Systems, we can make sure that it isn’t.
