TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Our Falmouth, ME homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their failing insulation. The crawlspace was very wet with insulation failing and falling away from the home. We installed CleanSpace with drainage matting to encapsulate the crawlspace and keep it dry. 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. We also installed SprayFoam Insulation on the rim joists to replace the old insulation. SprayFoam helps keep cold air out during the winter, making the space more comfortable, and saving the homeowner money on their energy bill. Lastly we installed a SmartSump pump system, along with a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to help control the moisture. The SmartSump pump removes any water away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line.

This Falmouth, Maine basement had frequent water seepage at the cove joint, the area where your foundation walls meet the basement floor. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump to handle the incoming water and pump it away from the home. The TripleSafe has two Zoeller cast iron pumps, as well as a third battery backup pump that keeps the system operating if the home loses power. Water is pumped out through an exterior buried discharge line away from the home. We also installed WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system, that runs along the cove joint to handle incoming water and channel it to the TripleSafe, keeping the basement floors dry.

When this Cumberland, ME homeowner began to have moisture problems in their garage, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to see if we could help. A door connected to their garage had been allowing rainwater to leak in and gather in the entryway. After they met with our representative, our installation crew was able to get started jackhammering out the old concrete floor of the entry space. Once clear, a fresh slab was poured within the space and WaterGuard piping was installed within the perimeter of the new floor. Running below the doorway, a TrenchDrain was used to capture any water leaking directly under the door in the future. The grate on the top of the TrenchDrain rests level with the floor, allowing any water to spill right in. Finally, a SuperSump system was installed to receive any captured water and remove it from the home through a discharge line.

This homeowner can now be sure any water that would have previously entered this space will be removed from the home without pooling up on their floor. The WaterGuard piping & SuperSump pump will keep this entryway water-free for the foreseeable future!

We recently helped homeowners in Cumberland Center, Maine to address their leaking basement walls. Water had been coming into the space, damaging the finished walls. We used CleanSpace Wall system to protect the walls. CleanSpace Wall is a vapor barrier that is installed to seal moisture out of the basement, directing it behind the liner to the new WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. WaterGuard captures any incoming moisture and funnels it to the TripleSafe sump pump (not pictured here). The TripleSafe is the top of the line sump system, featuring a battery backup pump and two Zoeller pumps. All of these products work together to keep the basement dry all the time.

Jackman, ME homeowners who recently purchased their home contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with encapsulating their crawlspace, as well as support for the sagging floors above. To waterproof the space, we installed CleanSpace with drainage matting, as well as SprayFoam insulation. 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. SprayFoam creates an air and water tight seal, easily getting into nooks and crannies that traditional fiberglass insulation can't do as well. SmartJacks were installed to support the sagging floors. SmartJacks are a galvanized steel post system that custom fit to a support beam or floor joist to lift sagging floors.
