TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Lisbon Falls, ME homeowners reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems because they had major concerns over the structural integrity of their foundation wall. The wall had cracked and shifted over time, with blocks pushing into the space. We installed a StableLock Wall over the affected area. StableLock is a less disruptive and costly way to repair foundation wall issues than the traditional lifting of the home. We pour a new concrete wall directly in front of the failing wall, providing structural support to the home, and preventing the failing wall from continuing to shift or bow. The homeowners can relax knowing their home is safe!

Homeowners in Monmouth, ME needed help with their damp basement. The area had dirt floors and moisture issues, causing frustration for the owners. We poured a new slab floor to update the dirt floors, as well as installed WaterGuard and a SuperSump pump system. WaterGuard is a perimeter drainage system built into the new slab that channels any water directly to the SuperSump pump to be removed from the basement. The owners now have a dry, usable space they no longer have to worry about.

Looking for a way to keep any and all moisture out of the space below their home, this Bailey Island, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to see just what we could do for them. After receiving their free estimate, they gave our crew the go-ahead to begin work on the permanent solution they were looking for. First, in order to create a vapor barrier over the exposed earth, a Drainage Matting was laid across the floor and a CleanSpace liner was utilized to encapsulate the entire interior of the crawlspace. This vapor barrier will block any future moisture leaking into the space before it can reach the interior of the crawlspace. This blocked water will flow through channels built into the bottom of the Drainage Matting to where it can most easily drain back into the ground without causing more problems for the homeowner. In order to expediate the water-removal, a TripleSafe sump pump was installed in the floor of the space as well. This device contains three separate pumps each working to keep this crawlspace dry year-round. The while the primary and secondary pumps work using power from the home, the third pump operates on a backup battery to ensure even during storms harsh enough to knock out power, the water-removal process continues.

These waterproofing measures will ensure this homeowner won’t need to suffer from any side effects of moisture build-up in their crawlspace in the future. The vapor barrier & TripleSafe installations will ensure this space remains dry & healthy for years to come!

Our Anson, ME homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate on repairing their leaky basement. They had a horizontal crack in their wall and it was allowing water in. Our System Design Specialist Alan Noyes evaluated the homeowner's needs and prepared a plan to remedy the problem. We installed the CleanSpace Wall System, a SuperSump, as well as WaterGuard.

Waterproofing the basement:

WaterGuard is installed around the perimeter of the basement to channel any water to a SuperSump Plus. CleanSpace Wall System is installed and connected to the WaterGuard, ensuring no water can seep through any cracks and end up on the new slab. We also installed a SuperSump Plus which pumps water out of the basement through an Exterior Buried Discharge line and takes the water far away from the home. The whole system is protected against ice buildup during winter with the installation of IceGuard on the Discharge line. The work was completed by foreman Tyler L. and team.

A homeowner in Mount Vernon, Maine, needed to have their house jacked up, and during this process, the insulation in their crawl space would require replacement. TC Hafford Basement Systems assessed the situation and recommended Dr. Energy Saver spray foam insulation for its superior energy efficiency and long-lasting performance. After completing the installation, the homeowner noticed an immediate difference in the comfort of their home, especially in the crawlspace. The insulation provided better coverage and protection from moisture, leaving the homeowner extremely satisfied with the results.
