TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

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. 

Saco, ME homeowners reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate on encapsulating their crawl space. They were tired of dealing with a cold, dusty space they felt they couldn't use. System Design Specialist Peter F. created a plan to insulate and encapsulate the space. To fully encapsulate the crawl space and keep moisture and critters out, CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed. Drainage Matting is a durable barrier with dimples to help channel water and elevate the CleanSpace, keeping it clean. CleanSpace is a durable, inorganic vapor barrier that gets attached to the walls and seals up the crawl space, keeping moisture out. Foamax wall insulation panels were also installed to act as a moisture barrier, as well as insulate the space. The homeowners can now store their belongings without everything getting dusty, and save money on their energy bills at the same time!
