Lisbon, ME homeowners were growing increasingly concerned with their shifting cinder block foundation walls. They called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help keeping their home safe and secure. We installed StableLock Wall system, a new poured concrete wall, in front of the failing wall. StableLock prevents any further shifting or bowing, while maintaining the structural integrity of the home. It is less expensive than traditional methods of foundation repair that involve lifting the home.
A Chebeague Island homeowner planned to enjoy living on an island surrounded by water, but didn't plan to have island in their basement! They reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems to help mitigate their water issues. Our System Design Specialist met with the homeowner to design an encapsulation system that would solve their problems.
To fully encapsulate the basement and keep moisture 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. A SmartSump was installed to capture water and pump it through the new Exterior Buried Discharge line. The Discharge line takes the water far from the home and with the installation of IceGuard, the entire system is protected against ice buildup in the winter. Now our homeowner can enjoy island time without the headache of unwanted water!
Living with an old sump, this Freeport, ME homeowner thought it was time they replaced it with a more powerful pump. Shortly after they contacted us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, our sales representative met with the homeowner to go over their options and give them a free estimate. The homeowner soon gave us the green light to begin work on upgrading their old sump! As soon as our installation crew made it out to the home, they began by removing the old pump and digging out the sump to make room for the larger SuperSump. With the SuperSump installed, any water leaking into the basement in the future will be forced out of the home through the PVC discharge line. Outside the home, an IceGuard pipe section along with a LawnScape discharge port were attached to this line. The IceGuard provides protection against ice or other blockages in the line by allowing any trapped water angled holes to escape through before it can reach the basement again to cause flooding. The LawnScape port on the end of the line provides a grate to hold back leaves or other debris that could block the line over time.
With these upgrades in place below their home, this homeowner can now rely on their sump to handle water removal without needing to manually assist. The new SuperSump pump will keep this basement water-free for the future!
A Freeport, ME homeowner was tired of battling water leaking into their basement and causing issues. They reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Mike M. met with the homeowner to give a free estimate on the needed repairs. They came up with a plan to keep the basement dry and usable all the time.
WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter and connected to a new SuperSump Plus pump. WaterGuard captures and channels water to the SuperSump, which then 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 walls to the WaterGuard. Finishing out the full waterproofing system was the installation of a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The SaniDry Sedona drains directly to the SuperSump, which allows the basement to be kept at a safe humidity level all of the time without the homeowner having to empty a bucket of water to keep it running.
Our Freeport homeowner is now free from basement headaches! They can enjoy using their space and keeping their belongings dry.
