TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Having lived with a wet basement for years, this homeowner needed a permanent solution to keep their basement dry now that they could no longer keep the water at bay themselves. To properly waterproof the space, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we set the up with a free estimate soon after. Once they gave us the go-ahead, our installation crew was able to get started on putting a WaterGuard system in place. The WaterGuard piping is buried in a shallow trench around the perimeter of the basement floor, covered by a fresh layer of concrete to conceal it within the floor. Once in place, the WaterGuard will absorb any moisture leaking in through the foundation in the future, keeping the surface of the floor water-free. This trapped water is guided below the floor to the SuperSump pump also installed by our crew. This pump can remove water from the home at a rate of 2,650 gallons of water per hour through the discharge line. Outside the home, a IceGuard & LawnScape pipe segments were intersected into the line to provide extra protection for the basement. The IceGuard will prevent any blockages in the line from causing water to back up into the home while the LawnScape covers the end of the line with a grate to keep out debris.

Now that a more permanent solution has been put in place, this homeowner no longer needs to worry about manually removing any water accumulating in their basement. The WaterGuard & SuperSump will ensure this basement stays dry for many years into the future!

Having to manually remove water from their basement following any rainfall was not something this homeowner was too keen to continue. After seeing TC Hafford Basement Systems in their newspaper, they called us to ask about a free estimate. Following their estimate, our installation crew was dispatched to get started on resolving this homeowner’s wet basement problem. Once our crew arrived, they began work on the basement by excavating the perimeter of the floor, creating a shallow trench. This trench enabled WaterGuard piping to be laid surrounding the basement floor. These pipes have slits built-in to capture moisture as it leaks through the foundation during future rainfall. Once buried beneath a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard will collect any moisture before it can reach to floors surface to pool up. This water is then guided below the floor to the SuperSump pump attached directly to the WaterGuard. The SuperSump removes 2,650 gallons of water per hour, plenty of power to keep this basement completely water-free!

Now this homeowner can relax during rainstorms, instead of struggling to keep their basement dry themselves. The WaterGuard & SuperSump system will maintain a dry basement floor for this homeowner for the future!

This home owner in South Berwick, ME was having trouble with water coming into their basement and decided to call TC Hafford Basement Systems. Utilizing WaterGuard, TrenchDrain and a TripleSafe system, we were able to protect this homeowners basement and give them peace of mind.

With a musty, dirt floor crawlspace below their home, this York, ME homeowner wanted to make use of the space for storage. They called us at TC Hafford and our crew was able to provide the barrier they were searching for. To keep out moisture and debris to allow for safe storage, a CleanSpace liner was used to encapsulate the interior of the crawlspace after a Drainage Matting was laid across the floor. This will form a vapor barrier capable of keeping moisture out of the crawlspace interior while enabling any trapped moisture to drain back through the ground below. Next, Spray Foam was used to fill in gaps between the joists above the crawlspace. This will provide better insulation for the home and keep any temperature control within the home efficient.

Now that their crawlspace has been sealed off from the elements, this homeowner can make use of the space for storage without needing to worry about their property sustaining any long-term damage.

This basement was in desperate need for improvement. It is now much better thanks to the help of CleanSpace Encapsulation and Spray Foam. The basement will be dry and much more energy efficient.
